阅读理解

    When I was five years old. I took a boat out on the river and went fishing by myself. I really wanted to catch a fish! But they were not biting.

    I stayed in my boat for three days, waiting. A few times, I thought I felt a fish at the end of the line. The first time I pulled in my catch, it was not a fish; it was an old bag. The second time, it was a shoe. Finally, at the end of the third day, I felt a strong pull at the end of the line. The pull was so strong they my boat raced around and around. I needed all my power just to hold onto the fishing rod. I pulled, and I pulled and I caught the biggest fish that ever swam on the Earth! It was heavier than everyone in this room put together! Then something terrible happened!

    After I pulled the huge fish into my boat, I saw that the boat was going under water! Water was coming into the boat from all sides! I was not a very good swimmer, so I was scared.

    Although it was the hardest choice I ever made. I had to let the fish go. I pushed it back over the side of the boat, and we waved good-bye to each other as it swam away.

One day, I walked into a restaurant for lunch. There were so many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (顾客) there that the waiters and waitresses were all very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (忙碌的). I felt very uncomfortable. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (幸运地), I found an empty seat and sat down. After a long time, a waiter came over to me and said politely, "Sir, sorry for keeping you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (等候). May I take your order?" I asked for a beef hamburger, an apple pie and a Diet Coke. "Sorry, sir. We don't have Diet Coke," he said. I told him that a glass of water would be fine.

Soon the waiter returned with my food and water. After telling me to enjoy my food, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (仓促) away. Minutes later, he came back again with a surprise—a Diet Coke. "Where did you get it?" I asked. "I bought it from the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (便利的) store around the corner," he answered. Then said, "But you work all the time. How did you find the time to get it?" "It's my pleasure to offer you good {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (服务), sir," he said. "I don't want to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (使失望) you." Later, I knew he was also a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (工作努力的) waiter.

Two months later, I went back to that restaurant. The waiter had become the manager of the restaurant. It wasn't amazing for me.

What he did and how he behaved influence me a lot in my life. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (记住) that doing small things can bring a big result. Just go for it.

请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答 5 个问题;要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。

Recently, a study published (发表) in BMC Medicine, found that sitting in front of the TV for a long time was a risk for people's health. 

After scientists used data ( 数据) on 370,000 people, covering 12 years, they found about 9,000 developed

heart disease.  They found people with genes (基因) of heart problems were more likely to develop heart disease.  However, they found that people without such genes watching more than four hours of TV every day were also at the greatest risk of heart disease. People spending 2 to 3 hours a day watching TV had a 6% lower risk.  And those who watched less than an hour had a 16% lower risk.  The scientists of the research team finally found cutting TV watching time to less than an hour a day could prevent 10% of heart disease. 

In life, people who want to watch more TV programs might be the group at a higher risk, for they are easy to spend more time watching TV.  If they have more snacks while watching TV, it might add the risk of putting their hearts in danger.  So, if people want to watch TV longer, standing up and moving the body, or hanging out will work. But limiting their time on TV could be a more useful way to help them avoid possible heart problems in the future.
