• 2．A few years ago，I took a sightseeing trip to Washington，D.C..Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center，I heard a voice say， "Can you help me？" When I turned around，I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.In a natural response，I reached into my pocket，pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said， "I don't want your money.I just need help finding the post office."
     In an instant，I realized what I had done.I judged another person simply for what I considered she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself.This incident re-awakened my belief in humility（謙遜），even though I'd lost it for a moment.
     The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant（移民）.I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S.at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases，my brother and sister，and a strong，serious-minded mother.Through the years，I have been a dishwasher，mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs，and finally I became a network engineer.
     In my own life，I have experienced many open acts of prejudice（偏見）.I remember a time，at age 17 - I worked as a waiter，and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school，he would end up like me.I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends，so I know what it's like，and I should have known better.
     But now，living in my American middle-class lifestyle，it is too easy to forget my past，to forget who I am and where I have been，and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets of Washington，D.C.，cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.By the way，I helped that lady to the post office.And in writing this essay，I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.

  .
  A．the blind woman needed the money badly
  B．the author thought what he did to the woman was wrong

• 3．If you're planning to go on a diet，or if you suffer from serious conditions like diabetes（糖尿?。?，knowing exactly what and how much you're eating is essential.In this day and age，we have calorie and nutritional calculators even on our smartphones，but they act only as guides，whereas Panasonic's revolutionary new device，CaloRieco，actually analyzes the food on your plate and provides accurate information about in just a few seconds.
     You've probably used calorie calculators before，and you know that they only offer general information.For example，a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger，but it can't tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger.The same goes for nutrients like protein or fats.And this is what makes the new CaloRieco so special.
     Displayed at a recent tech show，CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection technology to determine the nutritional values of almost any food and also provide accurate calorie estimates.All you have to do is put your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food on there.
     Once it's done analyzing the various ingredients in your meal，CaloRieco displays the number of calories，as well as the nutritional content on an LED display.According to Panasonic，the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods，except soups and very dark dishes.
     CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app，and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld，so you can access it whenever you need.
     Panasonic said that its outstanding invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers，both of which make up a sizable market.Unfortunately，you'll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco，as the device presented at the show is just a prototype（樣品）which needs to be improved.It's scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years，but the price remains a mystery.
  
  （1）What is special about CaloRieco？

  
  A．It can present the exact data of analyzed food.
  B．It is a high-tech device working as a guide.

  Fortune Cookie Friends Jenny frowned（皺眉）as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen.Her family had just moved here from San Francisco，having bought a small restaurant，which was set to open in the next few days.
      "Moving here was a dumb idea，" Jenny complained mostly to herself.
      "What's that？" Her mother asked，opening a box and lifting out several pots.
      "Nothing，" Jenny mumbled （咕噥）.The girl had been angry about the move，but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
      The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy，either.She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know，and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her.Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
      On the day of the grand opening，Jenny's parents were all smiles，welcoming customers into the restaurant，brightly decorated in gold and red.Even Jenny was in a good mood as she rushed around，seating guests，handing out menus，and pouring tall glasses of water.This was a big day for her family.
      At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny's age.As she filled their glasses，Jenny realized the twins were in her class.Jenny ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face，and she turned away from the table.
      Jenny's mother found her soon after，in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
      "Honey，what are you doing back here？We need you out front with the customers."
      "Mom，I don't want to be out there.There are kids from school!"
      "So？" her mother asked. "That's good!Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!" She said to Jenny，pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read： "Many friends are found with a single smile，" it read.

  1.續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
