When I brought his dessert, he told me that he had to leave the restaurant for a few minutes. He left his phone on the table.Well, after about ten minutes, he still hadn't come back to the table. I went over to the table and realized that the mobile phone was actually a toy. (2) (The man never came back to pay his bill).2. I work as a server in a fast-food restaurant. It's a drive-through restaurant: (3) (customers drive up to the window) and speak into the intercom. "May I take your order?" I said into the intercom as usual. A voice replied, "Hamburger, cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, small and large roast beef sandwich, chicken sandwich, regular fries, large fries, apple pie, chocolate shake, strawberry shake, Coke, diet Coke, 7UP and orange juice." The staff prepared the largeorder and filled several bags. When the customer got the food, she was shocked. "But that wasn't my order," she said. "(4) (I was reading the menu to my little girl)."3. Our restaurant has tables outside, on the street. People often stop for a coffee or a glass of wine while they are out for a walk. One day a woman came along with a big dog. She tied her dog to the table, sat down and ordered a glass of white wine.Everything was fine for a few minutes — then a man rode by on a moped. The dog chased the moped, pulling the table behind it, and of course the woman's wine fell to the ground. So we cleaned everything up, and brought the customer another glass of wine. Later we gave her the bill for her drinks. She refused to pay for the second glass of wine because"(5) (it wasn't her fault)" that she couldn't drink the first one!。

Then make a presentation to the class. Your presentation should include:1. Stating your opinion;2. Giving reasons to support your opinion;3. Summarizing your idea.Your answer： When we talk about what can contribute to a person's success, many words, such as perseverance, creativity, luck, and so on, will appear in our minds. Some people argue that luck has nothing to do with a person's success and attribute a person's success to many other factors. In my opinion, however, luck sometimes plays an indispensable role in one's success. Luck is not something that we can control, but being lucky really helps in one's success. Personally I think it is better to be lucky than to be rich. If you are poor but lucky, you might berich someday. If you are rich but unlucky, you are in trouble. Though persistence and some other factors contribute to one's success, luck will help one to be successful more quickly. For example, the famous inventor Edison, who invented the electric bulb in the 19th century. Throughout his invention process, we can see what an important role persistence and other factors played, but at the same time we must admit luck also played a part. If it had not occurred to Edison to use metal in his experiment, the light might not have appeared until the next century. In conclusion, though success mainly depends on hard work, perseverance, creativity, and some other things, luck will help a person to succeed to some extent.Reference answer ： When we talk about what can contribute to a person's success, many words, such as perseverance, creativity, luck, and so on, will appear in our minds.

(1) I refused to see his wounds , but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Jerry replied, "As I lay on the floor, (2) I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or Icould choose to die. I chose to live.""Weren't you scared?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The doctors were great. (3) They kept telling me I was going to be fine . But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.""What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "(4) She asked if I was allergic to anything . 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and shouted, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

Then give a speech based on the following outline:1. What is friendship?2. How can you sae or maintain a friendship?Your answer：Reference answer： Friendship is the cooperative and supportive relationship between people. In this sense, friendship involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect, along with an element of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helpful behavior, such as the exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship.Friendship is a relationship which takes time to build and takes work and understanding. If there is something wrong with your friendship, in order to save it you really need to understand what exactly has taken place and had a negative influence on the relationship. It requires communication. It requires sitting down with your friend and saying, "What happened?" "What did I do?" "What did I do that was offensive?"If you want to maintain a friendship, you should always stand up for your friend, especially in his or her absence. Always give emotional support to your friends. When you and your friends are together, try to make your friends happy. You should always offer to help your friends in times of need. You also should keep confidences. When your friends tell you something, they only want you to know; it's for your ears only.Submitted: 2012-3-1 16:27:51 (Thursday) Score: %B.

The bull replied, "I am very sorry, but I have an appointment with a lady; but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want." The goat, however, feared that his back (3)(might do her some harm ) if he took her upon it. The ram, he felt sure, was the proper friend to ask for help. So she went to the ram and told him her case. The ram replied, "Another time, my dear friend. I do not want to interfere on the present occasion, as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares." The hare then applied, as a last hope, to the calf, (4)(who regretted that he was unable to help her), as he did not want to take the responsibility upon himself, as so many older persons than himself had declined the task.
