　　Once there was a girl called Arachne who was very proud of her skill at weaving. Many people came to see her

　　21

　　her threads in red, blue, green or yellow that made her

　　pictures glow with life. “The goddess Athene

　　have given you such a gift,” they said. But Arachne tossed her head. “No,” she replied

　　“I’ve taught myself everything I know. ”

　　25

　　those words, the goddess Athene decided to teach her a lesson. First she

　　26

　　herself as an old woman and

　　27

　　Arachne’s door. When she opened it, the goddess warned her, “You shouldn’t compare yourself with the great Athene. You should be more

　　28

　　.” At that Arachne grew very angry. “ Let her come here and have a

　　29

　　with me. Then we’ll see who’s better at weaving! ”

　　30

　　Athene threw off her disguise and the contest began.

　　34

　　. Her human arms and legs disappeared to be replaced with twice as many thinner insect-like

　　35

　　. As Arachne ran to hide, Athene laughed

　　36

　　“You may live, Arachne, but you will do your weaving

　　37

　　from now on. ” Hearing those words, Archne began to

　　38

　　a thread and to weave a pattern in the air. She had become the first

　　beautiful masterpiece in her webs, and all other

　　Passage 2

　　Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your

　　21

　　; your words are lost in the howling wind.

　　On a

　　22

　　afternoon, everything changed.

　　Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a

　　23

　　windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,

　　24

　　their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.

　　This woman was

　　25

　　.

　　“I’ll get the next car’s

　　26

　　as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,

　　27

　　much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright

　　28

　　lit up her face like a fire.

　　29

　　their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.

　　30

　　, and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his

　　31

　　changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then

　　32

　　at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his

　　33

　　.

　　“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver

　　34

　　him. He

　　35

　　over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.

　　The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave

　　36

　　and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,

　　37

　　others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.

　　Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window

　　38

　　a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and

　　39

　　their thanks.

　　It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire

　　40

　　of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

　　my window. When I heard the doorbell ring, I

　　44

　　from my chair and raced out. But my mother was already at the door. Opening it, she found herself face-to-face with a very dirty-looking man with tears streaming down his face. My mother, overcome by 45

　　，invited the man inside, and he sat with my parents in our living room．

　　46

　　，1 walked secretly downstairs so that I could get a better look. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but the sight of the man, 47
