Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases for greeting people. But as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to 1 guests at the door. Just a goodbye would not do, yet that was all I had ever 2 the books. So I would smile and nod, bowing like a Japanese and searching 3 for words that would smooth over the visitors’ leaving and make them feel they would be 4 to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband's kindness.
Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
The parting for the Chinese includes a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although as a 5 I’m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, I’ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and 6 at a leave-taking.
The Chinese feel they are 7 to see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I’ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to 8 from seeing a guest off, 9 he’s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That’s all very well, but when I’m the guest being seen off, my polite refusals are always 10 . My hostess or host, or both, insist on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way, with my repeating the “Don’t trouble to see me off” at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to 11 the inevitable.
Besides, that’s going against Chinese 12 , because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you 13 someone People often say “Go slowly” 14 “Farewell”. To the Chinese it means “Take care” or “Watch your 15 ”, or some such caution, but translated literally it means “Go slowly”.
1.A.taking over B.talking about C.seeing off D.worrying about
2.A.picked up B.learned from C.known of D.referred to
3.A.madly B.explicitly C.endlessly D.cautiously
4.A.content B.ready C.welcome D.eager
5.A.wife B.guest C.hostess D.foreigner
6.A.decline B.laugh C.explain D.weep
7.A.likely B.responsible C.certain D.supposed

解析：1. 从前文中的a single -parent 以及后文的was filled with bill paying可以看出作者的生活是tough，艰难的。
2.由下文可得知作者突然注意到了不同寻常的东西是一个钱包。
3. 由前文中的deep in thought以及后文中的for the first time that day,可以推断作者之前一直埋头沉思，捡到钱包后作者第一次抬起她的头，因此选择raised。lowered，“低着”，nodded,“点头”,shook,“摇头”。
4.根据后文中的with only one shop,可知大街上是空的,只有一家店铺开着,bare,“空的，光秃秃的”。
5.根据原文语境中有人丢了钱包，而“我”的第一想法就是会有人回来认领这个钱包,claim,“认领”。demand,“要求”,exchange,“交换”，return,“归还”。
6.根据前文中的I needed to be active，“我”要主动，想要找到钱包的主人就要打开钱包，找到其主人相关线索，因此选择“clues”。cash,“现金”，signals,“信号”，marks,“标记，记号”。
7.根据前文中的There was nothing but a name,以及现金钞票整齐叠放在一起，“我”猜测这很有可能是一位老人，所以这里选择prediction，“猜测”，inspiration，“灵感”，expectation,“期待”,imagination,“想象”。
8. 根据上文There was nothing but a name.可知。
9.从前文中的情景来看，“我”走进这家店铺，在角落有一位老人，根据语境推测应该是“我”靠近他，因此选择approached。questioned,“质疑，提问”，interrupted,“打扰，中断”，reminded，“提醒”。
10.根据语境得知，“我”感觉到老人的不开心，因此猜测他可能是丢钱包的人，当问的时候是不确定的，试探性地问，因此选择“hesitantly”。worriedly，“担忧地”，cheerfully，“兴奋地”，excitedly,“兴奋地”。
11.当“我”问出来的时候，是试探性地，但实际上他就和钱包上的名字是匹配的，正好就是这位老人，因此选择C, matched,“匹配”。reflected,“反应，反射”，proved,“证实”, represented,“代表”。
12.根据语境，“我”把钱包归还的时候，他脸上容光焕发，形容这位老人失而复得的
喜悦之情，因此选择D选项，fell，“下沉”shone，“显出喜悦的神情”。paled,“变得苍白”,darkened,“变黑”。
13.根据前文中的I did have a beautiful day中可得知他祝福的语言让“我”本来很难过的那一天，变得开心起来，make one's day，“让某人很高兴”。
14.在整个故事最后升华的部分，作者意识到帮助别人不需要付出任何的代价，因此选择B, cost,“付出代价,花费”,involve,“包含”,add,“添加”,apply,“应用”。
15.根据前文，作者因为归还给老人钱包而获得了老人的祝福，从而让本来难过的一天变得开心起来，作者帮助别人后获得的回报并不是物质的，而是精神上的，所以并不是所有的回报都是物质的。awards,“奖品”,presents,“礼物”,results,“结果”,rewards“回报”。
