21、TONY SOPRANO’S LAST MEAL
Between 1912 and the 1990s, New Jersey State was home to more than 20 diner manufacturers who made probably 95 percent of the diners in the U.S., says Katie Zavoski, who is helping hold a diner exhibit. What makes a diner a diner? (And not, say, a coffee shop?) Traditionally, a diner is built in a factory and then delivered to its own town or city rather than constructed on-site. Zavoski credits New Jersey’s location as the key to its mastery of the form. “It was just the perfect place to manufacture the diners,” she says. “We would ship them wherever we needed to by sea.”

GOOD FOOD, GOOD TUNES
Suzanne Vega’s 1987 song “Tom’s Diner” is probably best known for its frequently sampled “doo doo doo doo” melody (旋律) rather than its diner-related lyrics. Technically, it’s not even really about a diner — the setting is New York City’s Tom’s Restaurant, which Vega frequented when she was studying at Barnard. Vega used the word “diner” instead because it “sings better that way,” she told The New York Times. November 18 has since been called Tom’s Diner Day, because on that day in 1981, the New York Post’s front page was a story about the death of actor William Holden. In her song Vega sings: “I Open / Up the paper / There’s a story / Of an actor / Who had died / While he was drinking.”

MEET THE DINER ANTHROPOLOGIST
Richard J.S. Gutman has been called the “Jane Goodall of diners” (he even consulted on Barry Levinson’s 1982 film, Diner). His book, American Diner: Then Now, traces the evolution of the “night lunch wagon,” set up by Walter Scott in 1872, to the early 1920s, when the diner got its name (adapted from “dining car’’), and on through the 1980s. Gutman has his own diner facilities (floor plans, classic white mugs, a cashier booth); 250 of these items are part of an exhibit in Rhode Island.

22、Everybody knows the saying “Two steps forward and three steps back”. That described my life pretty well as a single mom. I was raising two teenagers on a teacher’s aide’s salary. It wasn’t nearly enough to cover the bills, so I moonlighted as a waitress. Every time I thought that I had found a solution to my money worries, something would fall through and I would end up feeling worse off than before.
The next evening at the restaurant I tried on my apron, wishing I could be home with my kids. I walked up to my first table. Around it was a cheerful older couple. The woman gave me a smile that warmed me. I couldn’t help but notice her unusual glass ring. “What a beautiful ring,” I said. We chatted for a minute then I took their order and left. When I came back with their drinks, the woman held out her ring. “I would like to give this to you,” she said.
“Oh, no, I couldn’t,” I said, embarrassed.
She gently placed the ring in my hand and closed my fingers around it. “It’s yours,” she said. “Please accept it and your things are going to be okay.” Right there at their table in the middle of the restaurant I broke down in tears. “Thank you for giving me hope,” I said.
Long after that night, that sense of peace stayed with me. I knew the right job would come in time. Nine months later it did. I got a better position at another school and I started waitressing at a restaurant where I was allowed to spend more time with my kids.
Now in these tough times, I have money worries again, but they don’t get me down. I know things will turn out okay. And when I wear that unusual glass ring, I’m reminded I’m not alone.

23、A few years ago, I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know. In the email, Ijokingly invited everyone to come by for a “tour” of the new space.
I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office, I saw a box on my desk. There was a note on it, saying, “Happy new office!” The person didn’t sign it. I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office. It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.
The water was coming in. Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves. The owners were nowhere to be seen, so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose. When the couple who owned the chairs showed up. I couldn’t help myself. I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there. ”
“Oh, thanks so much for pulling them in,” said the guy. “We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away. ”
“Don’t worry about it,” I said, as I walked away. Then these words came to my mind, “You have your reward. ”
Then I realized when I went over to the couple, I was looking for something. If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me. In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don’t celebrate their generosity.
However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return. ”

【3】Which word can replace the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 6?

【4】What does the author advise us to do through the text?

24、 Carolyn Crump's work as a UPS delivery driver spans more than twenty-three years. And because of her long-standing career, she calls many of her customers friends and family. And the feeling is mutual（相互的）.
“Every single person can give you a story, where she has gone above and beyond, like bringing up groceries when someone's arm was broken. She's got a heart of gold. The day before we had to put our dog down, I found her in front of our gate saying her goodbyes to our dog. That's the type of person she is,” said Jason Lehtman.
Jason found out Carolyn had a leaking roof. And he knew he needed to do something to help the beloved UPS delivery driver!
Moved with compassion, Jason created a GoFundMe page to crowdfund for repairs to the thirty-year-old roof. The entire project came: together in less than two weeks and raised several thousand dollars within two days.
The community came together to raise the money for the repairs and to surprise her too. One customer called in about a fake package for Carolyn Crump to pick up.
Next, they blindfolded Carolyn and brought her to a park where the community of friends presented the UPS delivery driver with the check. After receiving her check, she also received a round of applause before hopping back into her truck to deliver the last twenty packages of the day.
“It's easy to have a positive attitude when you know how blessed you are to just have a job, especially during a pandemic. I love online shoppers. I should get a bumper sticker that says that on my car. They don't sign my check, but they definitely supply the materials for it,” she said.

26、读后续写
“Nadia, aji,”Muy called.
Come here, Nadia translated in her head. She followed the sound of her grandmother’s voice to the kitchen.
Muy fired off a set of instructions in Arabic. Nadia caught the words for oil and sugar. “Let me guess,” Nadia said. “You want me to buy groceries?”
Muy smiled. “Yes. Will you use your Arabic?” Nadia sighed. “You know I don’t speak Arabic.”
“Try.”
“I talk like a baby.”
Nadia had come to Morocco every year for as long as she could remember. Her father’s whole family lived here in a small seaside town. She could understand most of what her relatives said, but every time she opened her mouth, her tongue stuck on the words. “Try,” her father would say. “You won’t learn unless you try.” But Nadia didn’t want to try. It was too frustrating(令人沮丧的).
The old town wasn’t big, but it was confusing. The narrow streets twisted into each other like snakes. Nadia loved how kids could move freely here, playing outside or running merrily until dark. The adults watched out for all children, her father said, not just their own.
Nadia weaved past blue doorways, whitewashed walls, and tiny shops until she spotted one that looked familiar. She had been here before with her father, she remembered. Behind the counter stood a boy a few years older than Nadia.
Nadia’s palms started to sweat. She opened her mouth but failed to utter a word. Then she just pointed to the oil and sugar. The boy took the items down from the shelf.
As she paid, the boy asked in Arabic, “Are you Moroccan?”
“My father…,” she began.
He nodded and switched to English, “Half and half. How come you don’t speak Arabic?”
Here we go again. She shrugged(耸肩) and backed out of the shop, cheeks burning. She came to the end of a street where it connected with several others. She should be getting home. But which way to go? She turned right, but the street dead-ended in a courtyard.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She backtracked and ended up in a small square where she had been a few minutes before.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Looking around at the crowd, Nadia’s eyes rested on the face of an older woman who had joined the group.
