第一部分：阅读理解（共12小题，每小题3分，满分36分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。A It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is to human spirit what sunlight is to the plant. We cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism, we are unwilling to give out fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why—when one word of praise can bring such pleasure.It’s strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept it. It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets complimented(admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a perfect meal. Do you, however, ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact, to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort. 1. Which of the following can’t describe the writer’s situation before she got her tip?A.
