In 1998 I had an experience that had a deep and lasting effect on me. Eric and I were eating lunch at a local soup and salad place,  41  I noticed a woman cleaning the tables nearby. She looked very sad and  42 , as if she’d just been severely  43  by her boss or had gotten some bad news.

Eric and I didn’t have a lot of money at the time― 44  eating this cheap meal was a stretch（濫用）of our budget（預(yù)算）―but as we were  45  up to leave, I walked up to this woman,  46  her a $5 bill and said, “I know the work you do is probably not  47 , but I want you to know that we think you’re doing a great job.”

The woman’s facial  48  changed quickly, from sadness to real  49 . She looked me straight in the eye and said, “Thank you very much.” She did her best to  50  back tears but with only partial success. I don’t  51  what else she said to me, but I’ll always remember the look on her face. At that moment we were really connected―human being to human being. I  52 whether it was the $5 that mattered to her―in fact it was the  53  that someone treated her as a real person. Eric and I were both deeply moved by the  54 .

Doing that small service  55  this woman made me forget my own worries. At least temporarily I entered a higher  56  of consciousness, shooting right up to the state of joy. I didn’t  57  that state for long, but I had a  58  experience that made me a different person.

That  59  taught me that even when I’m not in a great place myself, I still have the capacity to have a  60  effect on someone else. I don’t have to do anything unusual―30 seconds to offer a kind word to a stranger is all it takes.

I am Sergey Brin! I was born in Moscow. In 1979,when I was 5, my family immigrated to California, USA . I remember that on my 9th birthday, I got my first computer “Commodore 64”.

Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT. The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data. I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines.

The greatest event in my life happened when in 1998 I was preparing for the defense(論文答辯) of my Doctor’s degree in the Stanford University. There the fate made me meet Larry Page—a young computer genius. Larry belonged to the intellectual society. I and Larry quickly became friends when we were working together.

We were searching day and night on the Internet. We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn’t find enough of what we were looking for . Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us. It wasn’t our plans but we gave up the education at the university. You know the next part ,maybe—we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Peplo Park, California , the USA into our first office, in which Google was born. With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th,1998—www.Google.com. Now after those years we bought this garage. As a symbol it will always remind us that everything is possible.

Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

   A. The Birth of Google            B. The Founder of Google

   C. The Importance of Cooperation   D. The Great Contribution to the Internet

From the passage we know that Larry Page________.

A. was born from a rich merchant family        

B. was once a student in the Stanford University

C. published some academic articles when young

D. was Brin’s important partner in starting Google

Why did they found Google ?

A. Because they loved working with the Internet so much.

B. Because they wanted to make a lot of money through the Internet

C. Because they hoped to make it easy to find specific information online

D. Because they believed everything is possible.  

Which is the right order of what happened ?

   a. My family moved from Russia to the USA

   b. I met Larry Page

   c. I was given a computer as a present on my 9th birthday.

   d. google was born in an ordinary garage in California.

   e. I graduated from the university in Mathematics and IT.

   A. a-c-e-b-d       B. c-a-b-e-d      C. a-c-b-d-e     D. c-b-a-e-d

“Be nice to people.” This sounds like a platitude（老生常談）,but I’ll never forget my father’s words. I was 10, and I had been mean to someone. He said, “There is no point in being mean to anyone at any time. You never know who you’re going to meet later in life. And by the way, you don’t change anything by being mean. Usually you don’t get anywhere.”

“Remember you can do anything you want to do. Don’t let anyone say, ‘You’re not smart enough, it’s too hard, it’s a foolish idea, no one has done that before, girls don’t do that.’ ”My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it allowed me to never worry what others were saying about my career direction.

“Always do the best job you can do at whatever you’re assigned（分派）,even if you think it’s boring.” Jerry Parkinson, my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979. Here I was fresh out of Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine how big the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch. I did research, focus groups and I would come home at night wondering how I had gone from HBS to this. But later I realized any job you’re given is an opportunity to prove yourself.

“Don’t be a credit hog. If you’re constantly in the neighborhood of good things, good things will happen to you.” Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It’s true that you get ahead by praising other people.

Finally, in 1998, I was in New York watching the ticker as eBay went public. My husband is a surgeon（外科醫(yī)生）.I called him and told him the great news. And he said, “That’s nice. But Meg, remember that it’s not brain surgery.”

1. We can learn that ______ from the passage.

   A. “Be nice to people” is the topic that people like

   B. it’s not necessary for us all to be too mean at any time

   C. I never forget any word that father spoke to me

   D. we won’t be successful if we are too mean to others

2. How many pieces of advice were given by her family?

   A. Two.       B. Four.        C. Three.        D. One.

3.This passage was written by _____ order.

   A. story development      B. time      C. working conditions       D. ideas

4. The author’s husband is more concerned _____ than eBay’s going public.

   A. his success           B. opportunity to prove himself   

   C. brain surgery          D. his career

5. What’s the main idea of the whole passage?

   A. Advice in life really made a difference to us.

   B. We should be nice to people around us.

   C. People can succeed by praising others.

   D. Too mean persons will get nothing from life.
