I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.

He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn't enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.

Survey reveals how your nationality reflects your flying habits
Whether you relax yourself with a glass of wine, bury yourself in a novel or begin a conversation with the person seated next to you on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport, a survey has claimed.
According to the results of an international passenger investigation, Australians are the biggest boozers on board with 36 percent choosing to drink, compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of British.

The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod on" (打盹) once the seatbelt sign switches off. They are also the first to reach for their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming.
Americans on the other hand like to use their, time in the air more productively-when not drinking-choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.
Meanwhile, British and Germans are the best at making a chat with strangers-spending 50 percent more time than the passengers from other countries.
Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of 10 passengers said they were happy to chow down on the selection of m-flight snacks and meals.
In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers claiming to read them. However, the international fliers, who traveled on eight major airlines, did express their desire for better in-flight entertainment and 36 percent wanted improved connectivity.

Anyone disappointed by the current shortage of the Ebola toys can wait for more stock to arrive or make a different selection from the company's other plush toys, including Cholera and Dengue Fever.
It was not clear how many of the toys have been sold and the company could not be reached for comment.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选
项涂黑。选顶中有一项为多余项。
How to become a good friend
Being a good friend isn't always easy, but taking the time to nurture a lasting friendship is worth every effort. As the years pass, some people will stay by your side, but many won't, and you'll realize that each friendship you keep is priceless. Of course, to have a good friend, you must be one. To be a good friend and deepen a friendship to make it last, just follow these steps.
10
61.
Don't ever make a promise that you can't keep or at least don't make a habit of it. If you say you'll hang out with a friend and a legitimate（合理的） conflict arises, explain the situation and trust that the friendship is strong enough for the noes as well as the yeses. If you just cannot go, give your friend a gift and tell him or her sorry. Nobody's perfect, and it's okay if you skip out on a promise once in a blue moon, but don't make it a regular thing. If this is recurring over time then you will probably be seen as not trustworthy as you can not be trusted to be committed to someone such as your friend.
62.
Being dependable is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Nobody likes a flake, and nobody wants one for a close friend. It's hard to rely on a person who doesn't behave in a consistent and trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned but flaky people who say, "Okay, I will." but never follow through. If that's you, know that you're eroding your friends' trust. eventually they'll stop believing what you say.
63.
Good friends show respect for each other by being openly and mutually supportive. If your friend has certain values and beliefs that are inconsistent with your own, respect his or her choices and be open to hearing more about them. If you want your friend to trust you, then your friend should feel comfortable voicing opinions that you may not agree with, or discussing a new perspective with you. If your friend thinks that you'll shoot down any interesting or original idea that he or she may have, then your friendship won't be valued.
64.
If you want to be a good friend and to have people trust you, then you have to be honest about your feelings, about your friends' actions, and about how you feel about your friendship. If you're honest about how you feel, that will open up direct lines of communication with your friends and will make them more likely to open up to you. If your friend hurt you, don't be afraid to talk about it; if something is upsetting you, don't feel too shy to open up to your friend about it.
65.
If your friend tells you something in confidence, keep it and don't talk about it with anyone else, just as you'd expect your friend to do for you. Don't discuss your friend behind his or her back, and don't spread rumors about the confidences they've imparted to you. Never say anything about your friend that you would not be prepared to repeat to their face. Be loyal to your true friends and be prepared to defend them if your new friends, or people you barely know, start gossiping about them.

Three years before, I became a student in an ordinary school. Although I felt disappointing at the shabby schoolyard and the poorly-equipped classrooms, but I found the teachers patient and considerate. Also, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in our class, so I decided to make good use for it. I worked hardly and got along well with the teachers and classmates. Whenever I have difficulties, they were always ready to help me. Soon I became one of the top student in my class, that greatly increased my confidence and I got more motivated.
My experience tells me that we are given is not important. As matter of fact, how we use it does matter.
