24. D由第一段第~ 、二句"…went to…newsstand. Johnson …h(huán)e received poor..."可知，他友好地與售貨員打招呼，但是沒有享受到很好的服務(wù)。

25. A 參考上一題解析。

26. B在Johnson要求買晚報的時候，售貨員甚至連頭都沒有抬一下。

27. A接過報紙之后，Johnson禮貌地笑了一下，然后祝他周末愉快。

28. C 根據(jù)上文這個售貨員的行為判斷，等他們買完了報紙之后，這個售貨員似乎大松了J口氣。

29. D Devm問："他是否一直對你不友好？"與上文Johnson禮貌的態(tài)度形成對比。

30. C Johnson回答說："非常遺憾，他一直都這樣。"

31. D 從上文gently和politely可判斷，Johnson對這個售貨員一直很友善。

32. C 由上下文他們的對話可知，他們一邊走一邊接著聊。

33. D Johnson解釋說："因為我不想讓他來決定我的行為。"

34. B 參考上一題解析。下文的"...going to act?"是提示。

36. A 是你所處的環(huán)境還是你生活中難纏的人決定你的反應(yīng)呢？

40. D 與下文selfcontrol和kindness并列。

41. C 與之相反的是，我想讓他知道我對他的行為感到憤怒。
