   One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works. A young couple ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for her continuous talk. Distracted(心烦意乱的) by their noise, I moved on .I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant words, I moved away quickly.
   I was standing at the counter(收银台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then carefully went into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
   “He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
   “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
   “Can’t see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
   I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.
   8. The young couple was at an art museum ________.
   1. to show their love B. to enjoy paintings C. to discuss paintings D. to describe paintings
      9. “…I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer ________.
      A. was in the hope of visiting more rooms
      B. was in a hurry to buy some gifts
      C. was tired of the nonstop talking
      D. was not interested in the art show
      10. After hearing what the clerk had said about the couple, the writer was ________.
      1. encouraged B. excited C. touchedD. annoyed
         11. The passage is mainly about ___________.
         A. the importance of art B. good manners in public
         C. patience of a husbandD. love between a couple
         (D)
         “Tipping”(给小费)is always a difficult business. You do not want to give too much or too little，or tip the wrong person.
              In Britain and America，people usually tip waiters in restaurants，porters，taxi drivers and hairdressers. They do not tip people in offices，cinemas，garages or airports.
         Do you invite your friend to the restaurant？Then you pay the bill. Does your friend invite you？Your friend pays. If there are men and women in the party，the men usually pay.
              These days，men and women are equal in many ways. If you work in Britain or America，your boss could be a man or a woman. There are increasing numbers of women in important positions in politics，law，medicine and in the business world .But it is still polite for men to open doors for women and to ask them to go first. And it is polite for men to stand up when they are introduced to women.

I have a happy family. My parents, in my heart, are the most responsible and kindest persons in the world.

Last year, I was chosen to take part in a speech competition. I felt very nervous. My parents tried hard to help me prepare for it. They encouraged me to be confident and told me not to care much about the result. They said the process of learning was more meaningful.

With their help, I did very well that time. And I’ve learned that confidence is the mother of success. I love my parents!
