It was fifteen past nine as Made hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.

Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.

Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.

Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Made. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day' s work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.

oney with the joy of learning to read.

“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.

The little girl had just turned five.

‘Stand up，little one，’he asked the girl softly. ‘I did this for your mother，your uncles，your older brother，and now you!’

Then，he handed the book to her. ‘Taste!’

She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.

‘What's that taste？’the grandpa asked.

The little girl answered，‘Sweet!’

Then all of the family said in a single voice，‘Yes，and so is knowledge，but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey，you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’

The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read. ”

This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You，Mr. Falker. In this book，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read，inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.

Reading this book，we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.

The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning，the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You，Mr. Falker puts it，“Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf，the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book，honey and all，close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks，but they weren't tears of sadness-she was happy，so very happy. ”

The girl who tasted the honey on the book was______.

A．nearly six years old

B．less than five years old

C．more than six years old

D．a little more than five years old

ot about foot pain. But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money: Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International, a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes.

At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of ,failure. "I couldhear my friends and family saying, 'Why did you leave a good job？' If I failed, would I be okay facing them？ And: t thought, 'So what？ I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that th6fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success"

Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from: what I Was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.'

Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skilis and all your senses working 'to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it."
