My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old, was   36  the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me  37  to do it well, telling me to  38  to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t  39 .
I was proud of working in the restaurant   40  I was also working for the good of the family. But my father   41  said that I had to meet certain standards(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) to be part of the team. I   42  to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the  43 . I was    44  paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he  45   give me $10 a week. He said, “OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring in your friends  46  free soft drinks?” He   47  the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being  48  in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted（升職） to Captain at that time. And full of pride, I walked into my parents’ restaurant, but the   49  thing Dad said was, “How about your   50  up tonight?” I couldn’t  51  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But   52  didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just  53  member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉獻(xiàn)) to a  54  is above all. It has nothing to do with  55  that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.

The passengers on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have thought I was strange. In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me, looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” — my stop was quickly coming up. I had few minutes to either take the cheese bread, which nobody else was claiming, or left it there.
In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I was stealing?” The ignorant thing to do was say “yes” to any of those self-imposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit comfortably in my office for the whole day, I couldn’t get rid of the enormous sense of guilt and regret.
My thoughts once pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overcome a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness?
Just as the doors opened at my stop, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt awesome, but I didn’t care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queen’s park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wanted to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.
小題1:The gentleman kept staring at the author because _______.
A．he wanted to talk to the author
B．the author appeared too nervous
C．the author was going to get off
D．he might think the author dropped the bread
小題2:The underlined word “self-imposed” in paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
A．easily obtainedB．deliberately created
C．strongly supportedD．completely unaccepted
小題3:Why did the author grab the cheese bread when he got off?
A．He noticed that no one was looking at him.
B．He didn’t want to see the cheese bread to go to taste.
C．He valued kindness more than his own pride.
D．He remembered a homeless man at that very moment.

The last hurdle（障礙）was the final. No matter what  13 I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the  14  goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even  15  myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have  16  with a test.

I stared at him,  19  that his analysis and strategy（策略）were correct. I had worked my head  20  , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
