27、he selection of produce and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient
28、 for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place. Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho ch
29、eese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection fo
30、r their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors. I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you

33、omer of the storeBA Simple Lesson“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room. “How could you tell? I didnt shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school.
34、 Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house. “I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friend
35、s.” “You dont know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They wont even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right 7field, and thats the worst!” Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why y
36、ou were named David Lorenzo?” “Yes, your name is David and grandfathers name is Lorenzo.” “Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important?” “He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,” I answered. “That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man.
37、 In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didnt speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. D
38、id he ever tell you that?” my father asked. I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly. “Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taug
39、ht me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa. All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?” Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.” 59. Why was the author unhappy that day? A.

42、He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.CLast week I did something that scared me. I stood in front of nearly 200 financial planners and I talked 8to them about why financial blogs are a good thing. Im a confident writer. Ive been doing this long enough that I know my strength and my li
43、mitations. Im less confident as a speaker. I dont have time to pause to collect my thoughts. Im not able to edit. Im afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out. Basically, Im scared to speak.It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my way. When somebody
44、asks me to speak in front of a group, I could say “no”. When radio and television stations call for an interview, I could say “no”. But for the past two years, Ive been following my own policy to say “yes” to new chances.To say “yes” is to live in fear. My goal is to continually improve myself to be
45、come better than I am today. One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challenges, and to learn from them even if I fail.In mid-November, a local station asked me to appear on live television. “I realize its short notice,” the producer wrote, “but wed love to have you
46、on the show if youre available tonight.” I was frightened. I thought about recent taped television interviews that I had hated. I was afraid of what might happen.But I also thought about the things that had gone right. I thought of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year. And then I t

Written by Dr. David Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achiev
48、e big goals. Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I thought big. “Sure,” I said. “Ill do it.” I acted confidently, but on the inside I was frightened. What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fear.63. Why is the author afraid of speaking in public?A. He is aware of his potential. B. He has few chances to talk.C. He is not able to edit what he says. D. He likes writing better.64. The underlined words “my o
