When Mayumi Watanabe tells people what she does for a living, most people widen their eyes in disbelief, not just because she is quite tiny. “I can see they’re thinking, ‘How can such a tiny woman drive a big truck? ’ ” Watanabe, who is 152 cm tall, said as she prepared for the busy run-up to be a truck driver.
When she started driving her truck, Watanabe was an exception, as all her co-workers were men. Figuring out routes in the days before E-maps was not the only aspect of the job with which she struggled. Expressway truck stops did not have women’s toilets, and heavy-vehicle cabs appeared to have been designed entirely with male drivers in mind.
Watanabe is now a director of Heartful, the first among Japan’s 62, 000 trucking firms to employ only female drivers. Japan’s $300 bn freight and logistics (货运和物流) field is looking to women to address what industry insiders believe could be disastrous changes in the aging labour market.
In an attempt to make trucking, with its punishingly long hours, more attractive, the Japanese government will limit drivers’ overtime at 960 hours a year, or 80 hours a month, from April. However, transport companies warn that it will cause an outflow from a job in which most drivers depend on large amounts of overtime to make ends meet. But for Watanabe, there are also signs of a bright side in the industry.
In the two decades that Watanabe, 43, has been driving trucks around her company’s base in Fukui, toilet facilities have improved, while improved seat design and steering (操纵) technology have made her job much easier. With more women driving large trucks, companies are starting to customize their vehicles to better suit them, including fitting cabs with curtains to give the drivers more privacy during rest breaks.
Watanabe’s extra hours will fall sharply from April. “A lot of drivers will just quit,” she said. But she has no intention of joining them. “Driving gives me a sense of freedom.”
4. What aspect of Mayumi Watanabe surprises people the most?
A. Her great enthusiasm for trucks. B. Her positive attitude towards life.
C. Her busy schedule at the end of the year. D. Her presence in a male-centered profession.
5. What did Watanabe struggle to do in her daily work?
A. Develop competence in driving a truck. B. Get along well with her male co-workers.
C. Fit into the uncomfortable working conditions. D. Determine driving routes through digital maps.
6. What is the significance of women in Japan’s freight and logistics industry?
A They help ease the labour shortage. B. They improve customer satisfaction.
C. They promote equality in the workplace. D. They contribute to better labour management.
7. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Technological advancements in trucking. B. Benefits of having more women in trucking.
C. Positive changes made in the trucking industry. D. Reasonable demands from women truck drivers.

On the beaches, in the deepest reaches of the backcountry — even nearly 100 feet underwater, the noise of navy training jets (喷气式飞机) is unbearable for people and even endangered southern residents — tiger whales, a new scientific research shows.
In a paper published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, scientists reported an underwater microphone fixed in nearly 100 feet of water offshore of the runway at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, clearly picked up the sound of the jets, at levels known to affect tiger whales’ behaviour. “To the tiger whales at that depth, the noise is about as loud as a ship 650 feet away,” said Rob Williams, lead scientist and an author on the paper.
Tiger whales use sound to find food, so underwater noise can affect their ability to get enough to eat. Lauren Kuehne, lead author on the paper, said she was surprised at just how clear the jet noise was even deep underwater, showing the noise easily spreads to depths where Chinook Salmon, the tiger whales’primary prey (猎物) , are often found. “Mentally I was prepared for noise, but not for that; it was clear as a bell. It has given me a whole new appreciation. We don’t use our ears the way animals do. For them, it is life and death,” said Kuehne.
The number and duration of daily overflights, the team stressed, also outnumber those in a majority of studies that have dug into the impacts of noise from military aircraft, worldwide.
Williams said the study demolishes the assumption that the noise of the jets doesn’t travel underwater. “The original understanding is that the noise is going to bounce off the ocean,” Williams said. “Here we show it doesn't. The sound goes underwater. We have shown that it is noisy, and noisy enough to require paying attention to.”
8. How did researchers confirm the effect of the noise on tiger whales?
A. By adjusting the sound of jets. B. By collecting noise underwater.
C. By observing tiger whales’ behaviour. D. By picking up tiger whales’ brainwaves.
9. Why is underwater noise dangerous to tiger whales?
A. It scares off their natural prey. B. It affects their hunting activity.
C. It destroys their sense of hearing. D. It makes them nervous underwater.
10. What does the underlined word “demolishes” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Overturns. B. Updates. C. Explains. D. Justifies.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Irregular Airplane Noise B. Underwater Species Protection
C Unknown Underwater Sound D. Non-ignorable Undersea Annoyance
D
Ever since Neil Alden Armstrong took one small step onto the moon, moon dust has proved to be a messy problem for astronauts, gathering on their spacesuits and being difficult to clean off. Scientists have come up with a new solution to this problem.
For their experiment, researchers dressed Barbie dolls in spacesuits constructed of materials similar to what NASA uses. Then they covered the spacesuits these dolls wore with a moon dust replacement — volcanic ash, collected from the 1980 eruption of nearby Mount Saint Helens in America, which is similar to moon dust. Then the team sprayed (喷) the dolls with liquid nitrogen (氮) to test how well liquid nitrogen could remove moon dust from the spacesuits.
They found that spraying the spacesuit-wearing dolls with liquid nitrogen not only removed more than 98% of the moon dust replacement but also caused little to no damage to the spacesuit material. This proved to be a better solution than the traditional method: Apollo programme astronauts would use brushes to wipe off moon dust from their spacesuits, which would eventually severely damage the material.
Not only is moon dust annoyingly clingy (黏附的) , but coming into contact with it can prove harmful to human cells and can lead to an illness that causes watery eyes, a sore throat and sneezing. “Moon dust is harmful, and it gets everywhere,” said Ian Wells, head of the research team. “It can work its way into spacesuits and make them unusable. It can also have a negative impact on astronauts’ lungs. That’s not exactly something astronauts would want to deal with while conducting an already risky mission to the moon.”
Ian Wells’s team presented their findings to NASA as part of their upcoming mission to the moon and they won the space agency’s Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-Changing (BIG) Idea Challenge.
“We used the doll primarily because it’s a one-sixth-scale person,” Wells said. “However, it was also chosen as the Artemis mission, aiming to send the first woman to the moon.”
12. What’s the new solution to the moon dust on spacesuits?
A. Wiping it off with brushes. B. Changing the material of spacesuits.
C. Covering spacesuits with volcanic ash. D. Spraying liquid nitrogen on spacesuits.
13. Why is the new moon dust removal method better than the traditional one?
A. It costs much less. B. It uses devices easier to carry.
C It almost does no harm to spacesuits. D. It is friendlier to the space environment.
14. What does paragraph 4 want to stress concerning moon dust?
A. Its research value. B. Its severe harmfulness.
C. Its physical feature. D. Its formation process.
15. What might be NASA’s attitude towards Wells’ team’s findings?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer vacation, I worked as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for the first time. It was challenging for me to adapt to the fast-paced work and communicate with strangers at first. Nevertheless, I was determined to provide customers with good service.
One day, a man and his son came in and spent a very long time looking through the menu. Eventually, the father called me over and started asking me about the ingredients (配料) because his son was allergic (过敏的) . Then the boy handed me a card that listed all the things he was allergic to. It was a lot. I couldn't remember all exactly, but I knew eggs and pork were on the list, as well as a couple of ingredients, like pepper. I asked to borrow the card so I could make a check. He agreed, and off I went.
It turned out that a lot of our ingredients and sauces used at least one thing the boy was allergic to, and the allergy to pork took over half our menu options away on its own. Despite being awfully busy, I spent nearly fifteen minutes checking basically everything on the list. The father seemed pretty surprised that I was going out of my way to figure this out.
Finally, I did figure out what I could do to serve the boy. Because he had an allergy to meat, I washed every piece of the cutting board carefully and wiped the table as pork oil was everywhere.
When I finally placed their dishes on the table, I felt proud of myself for getting everything right. However, that feeling was short-lived. Shortly after they started eating, while I was cleaning the table behind them, I overheard the little boy saying he was feeling uncomfortable all over and was starting to break out in hives (荨麻疹) . That was when I was shocked by the terrible realization — I forgot to tell the chef not to put pepper in the dishes!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I immediately dropped what I was doing to apologise and offer help.

When Mayumi Watanabe tells people what she does for a living, most people widen their eyes in disbelief, not just because she is quite tiny. “I can see they’re thinking, ‘How can such a tiny woman drive a big truck? ’ ” Watanabe, who is 152 cm tall, said as she prepared for the busy run-up to be a truck driver.
When she started driving her truck, Watanabe was an exception, as all her co-workers were men. Figuring out routes in the days before E-maps was not the only aspect of the job with which she struggled. Expressway truck stops did not have women’s toilets, and heavy-vehicle cabs appeared to have been designed entirely with male drivers in mind.
Watanabe is now a director of Heartful, the first among Japan’s 62, 000 trucking firms to employ only female drivers. Japan’s $300 bn freight and logistics (货运和物流) field is looking to women to address what industry insiders believe could be disastrous changes in the aging labour market.
In an attempt to make trucking, with its punishingly long hours, more attractive, the Japanese government will limit drivers’ overtime at 960 hours a year, or 80 hours a month, from April. However, transport companies warn that it will cause an outflow from a job in which most drivers depend on large amounts of overtime to make ends meet. But for Watanabe, there are also signs of a bright side in the industry.
In the two decades that Watanabe, 43, has been driving trucks around her company’s base in Fukui, toilet facilities have improved, while improved seat design and steering (操纵) technology have made her job much easier. With more women driving large trucks, companies are starting to customize their vehicles to better suit them, including fitting cabs with curtains to give the drivers more privacy during rest breaks.
Watanabe’s extra hours will fall sharply from April. “A lot of drivers will just quit,” she said. But she has no intention of joining them. “Driving gives me a sense of freedom.”
4. What aspect of Mayumi Watanabe surprises people the most?
A. Her great enthusiasm for trucks. B. Her positive attitude towards life.
C. Her busy schedule at the end of the year. D. Her presence in a male-centered profession.
5. What did Watanabe struggle to do in her daily work?
A. Develop competence in driving a truck. B. Get along well with her male co-workers.
C. Fit into the uncomfortable working conditions. D. Determine driving routes through digital maps.
6. What is the significance of women in Japan’s freight and logistics industry?
A. They help ease the labour shortage. B. They improve customer satisfaction.
C. They promote equality in the workplace. D. They contribute to better labour management.
7. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Technological advancements in trucking. B. Benefits of having more women in trucking.
C. Positive changes made in the trucking industry. D. Reasonable demands from women truck drivers.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了日本第一位女性卡车司机Watanabe的从业经历和日本货运物流领域女性从业人员的情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Mayumi Watanabe tells people what she does for a living, most people widen their eyes in disbelief, not just because she is quite tiny. “I can see they’re thinking, ‘How can such a tiny woman drive a big truck? ’ ” Watanabe, who is 152 cm tall, said as she prepared for the busy run-up to be a truck driver. (当Mayumi Watanabe告诉别人她的工作时,大多数人都会睁大眼睛,不相信,不仅仅是因为她个子很小。‘我能看出他们在想:这么娇小的女人怎么能开大卡车呢?’152厘米高的Watanabe在准备忙着去做卡车司机时说道)”可知,Watanabe是娇小的女性,但她是卡车司机,这原本是男性主导的职业。所以当人们得知Watanabe的工作是卡车司机时,大多数人都会感到惊讶,因为Watanabe出现在以男性为主的职业中。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Figuring out routes in the days before E-maps was not the only aspect of the job with which she struggled. Expressway truck stops did not have women’s toilets, and heavy-vehicle cabs appeared to have been designed entirely with male drivers in mind.(在电子地图出现之前,弄清楚路线并不是她努力工作的唯一方面。 高速公路上的卡车停靠站没有女厕所,而且重型车辆的驾驶室似乎完全是为男性司机设计的)”可知,Watanabe在日常工作中要努力适应不舒服的工作环境。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Japan’s $300 bn freight and logistics (货运和物流) field is looking to women to address what industry insiders believe could be disastrous changes in the aging labour market.(日本3000亿美元的货运和物流领域正在寻求女性来解决业内人士认为可能是劳动力市场老龄化所带来的灾难性变化)”可知,日本货运和物流领域正在寻求女性来解决劳动力市场老龄化所带来的问题,由此可推知,女性在日本货运和物流行业中的意义在于她们有助于缓解劳动力短缺的问题。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“In the two decades that Watanabe, 43, has been driving trucks around her company’s base in Fukui, toilet facilities have improved, while improved seat design and steering (操纵) technology have made her job much easier. With more women driving large trucks, companies are starting to customize their vehicles to better suit them, including fitting cabs with curtains to give the drivers more privacy during rest breaks.(43岁的Watanabe在过去的二十年里一直在福井的公司基地周围开卡车,那里的厕所设施得到了改善,同时座椅设计和驾驶技术的改进也让她的工作变得更加轻松。随着越来越多的女性驾驶大型卡车,公司开始定制车辆以更好地适应她们,包括在驾驶室安装窗帘,以便司机在休息时有更多的隐私)”可知,本段主要讲述了在越来越多的女性加入卡车司机行列后,卡车行业所做出的积极改变,如厕所设施的改善、座椅设计和驾驶技术的改进以及公司开始定制车辆以适应女性司机等。所以本段主要讲述的是卡车运输业的积极变化。故选C项。

On the beaches, in the deepest reaches of the backcountry — even nearly 100 feet underwater, the noise of navy training jets (喷气式飞机) is unbearable for people and even endangered southern residents — tiger whales, a new scientific research shows.
In a paper published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, scientists reported an underwater microphone fixed in nearly 100 feet of water offshore of the runway at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, clearly picked up the sound of the jets, at levels known to affect tiger whales’ behaviour. “To the tiger whales at that depth, the noise is about as loud as a ship 650 feet away,” said Rob Williams, lead scientist and an author on the paper.
Tiger whales use sound to find food, so underwater noise can affect their ability to get enough to eat. Lauren Kuehne, lead author on the paper, said she was surprised at just how clear the jet noise was even deep underwater, showing the noise easily spreads to depths where Chinook Salmon, the tiger whales’primary prey (猎物) , are often found. “Mentally I was prepared for noise, but not for that; it was clear as a bell. It has given me a whole new appreciation. We don’t use our ears the way animals do. For them, it is life and death,” said Kuehne.
The number and duration of daily overflights, the team stressed, also outnumber those in a majority of studies that have dug into the impacts of noise from military aircraft, worldwide.
Williams said the study demolishes the assumption that the noise of the jets doesn’t travel underwater. “The original understanding is that the noise is going to bounce off the ocean,” Williams said. “Here we show it doesn't. The sound goes underwater. We have shown that it is noisy, and noisy enough to require paying attention to.”
8 How did researchers confirm the effect of the noise on tiger whales?
A. By adjusting the sound of jets. B. By collecting noise underwater.
C. By observing tiger whales’ behaviour. D. By picking up tiger whales’ brainwaves.
9. Why is underwater noise dangerous to tiger whales?
A. It scares off their natural prey. B. It affects their hunting activity.
C. It destroys their sense of hearing. D. It makes them nervous underwater.
10. What does the underlined word “demolishes” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Overturns. B. Updates. C. Explains. D. Justifies.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Irregular Airplane Noise B. Underwater Species Protection
C. Unknown Underwater Sound D. Non-ignorable Undersea Annoyance
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了水下噪音对虎鲸的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a paper published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, scientists reported an underwater microphone fixed in nearly 100 feet of water offshore of the runway at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, clearly picked up the sound of the jets, at levels known to affect tiger whales’ behaviour. “To the tiger whales at that depth, the noise is about as loud as a ship 650 feet away,” said Rob Williams, lead scientist and an author on the paper. ”(在《海洋科学与工程杂志》上发表的一篇论文中,科学家们报告说,在华盛顿惠德贝岛海军航空站跑道离岸近100英尺的水中,安装了一个水下麦克风,清楚地捕捉到了喷气式飞机的声音,这种声音的水平已知会影响虎鲸的行为。“对于那个深度的虎鲸来说,噪音大约和650英尺外的船只一样大,”该论文的首席科学家和作者罗布·威廉姆斯说。)可知,研究人员通过放置水下麦克风收集水下噪音来确认噪音对虎鲸的影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Tiger whales use sound to find food, so underwater noise can affect their ability to get enough to eat.”(虎鲸用声音来寻找食物,所以水下的噪音会影响它们获得足够食物的能力。)可知,水下的噪音会影响虎鲸获得足够食物的能力,从而影响它们的捕猎活动,故而对它们很危险。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Williams said the study demolishes the assumption that the noise of the jets doesn’t travel underwater. “The original understanding is that the noise is going to bounce off the ocean,” Williams said. “Here we show it doesn't. The sound goes underwater. We have shown that it is noisy, and noisy enough to require paying attention to.””(威廉姆斯说,这项研究demolishes喷气式飞机的噪音不会在水下传播的假设。“最初的理解是,噪音会从海洋中反弹,”威廉姆斯说。“在这里,我们证明它不是。声音在水下传播。我们已经证明它很吵,吵到需要引起注意。”)可知,之前的假设认为噪音会从海洋中反弹,即噪音不会在水下传播,但这项研究证明噪音会在水下传播,说明这项研究推翻了之前的假设。故demolishes表示“推翻”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“On the beaches, in the deepest reaches of the backcountry — even nearly 100 feet underwater, the noise of navy training jets is unbearable for people and even endangered southern residents — tiger whales, a new scientific research shows. ”(一项新的科学研究表明,在海滩上,在偏远地区的最深处——甚至在水下近100英尺处,海军训练的喷气式飞机的噪音对人们甚至是濒临灭绝的南部居民虎鲸来说都是难以忍受的。)及最后一段“We have shown that it is noisy, and noisy enough to require paying attention to.”(我们已经证明了它是嘈杂的,并且嘈杂到需要引起注意。)并结合研究证明水下噪音对虎鲸的影响可知,本文主要介绍了喷气式飞机的噪音会在水下传播,并提醒我们要对水下噪音引起重视。故D项“不可忽视的海底烦恼”可概括文章主旨。故选D项。

Ever since Neil Alden Armstrong took one small step onto the moon, moon dust has proved to be a messy problem for astronauts, gathering on their spacesuits and being difficult to clean off. Scientists have come up with a new solution to this problem.
For their experiment, researchers dressed Barbie dolls in spacesuits constructed of materials similar to what NASA uses. Then they covered the spacesuits these dolls wore with a moon dust replacement — volcanic ash, collected from the 1980 eruption of nearby Mount Saint Helens in America, which is similar to moon dust. Then the team sprayed (喷) the dolls with liquid nitrogen (氮) to test how well liquid nitrogen could remove moon dust from the spacesuits.
They found that spraying the spacesuit-wearing dolls with liquid nitrogen not only removed more than 98% of the moon dust replacement but also caused little to no damage to the spacesuit material. This proved to be a better solution than the traditional method: Apollo programme astronauts would use brushes to wipe off moon dust from their spacesuits, which would eventually severely damage the material.
Not only is moon dust annoyingly clingy (黏附的) , but coming into contact with it can prove harmful to human cells and can lead to an illness that causes watery eyes, a sore throat and sneezing. “Moon dust is harmful, and it gets everywhere,” said Ian Wells, head of the research team. “It can work its way into spacesuits and make them unusable. It can also have a negative impact on astronauts’ lungs. That’s not exactly something astronauts would want to deal with while conducting an already risky mission to the moon.”
Ian Wells’s team presented their findings to NASA as part of their upcoming mission to the moon and they won the space agency’s Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-Changing (BIG) Idea Challenge.
“We used the doll primarily because it’s a one-sixth-scale person,” Wells said. “However, it was also chosen as the Artemis mission, aiming to send the first woman to the moon.”
12. What’s the new solution to the moon dust on spacesuits?
A. Wiping it off with brushes. B. Changing the material of spacesuits.
C. Covering spacesuits with volcanic ash. D. Spraying liquid nitrogen on spacesuits.
13. Why is the new moon dust removal method better than the traditional one?
A It costs much less. B. It uses devices easier to carry.
C. It almost does no harm to spacesuits. D. It is friendlier to the space environment.
14. What does paragraph 4 want to stress concerning moon dust?
A. Its research value. B. Its severe harmfulness.
C. Its physical feature. D. Its formation process.
15. What might be NASA’s attitude towards Wells’ team’s findings?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述的是今年夏天中国蔬菜价格大幅上涨的现象、原因、影响以及应对措施。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从6月17日到8月15日,农业农村部追踪的28种蔬菜的平均批发价格从每公斤4.29元上涨到6元,在两个月内上涨了39.9%。句中谓语是rose,空格处用非谓语动词,由by可知,空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填tracked。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从6月17日到8月15日,农业农村部追踪的28种蔬菜的平均批发价格从每公斤4.29元上涨到6元,在两个月内上涨了39.9%。increase是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,increase是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【38题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:专家将这种增加归结为与天气有关的因素,指出这种力量通常在每年的夏季发挥作用。factor是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填factors。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:蔬菜价格通常从6月中旬开始上涨,并在9月初达到峰值,主要原因是高温和频繁降雨。due to是固定短语,意为“因为,由于”,因此空格处用介词to,故填to。
【40题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,中国许多地区受到强降雨和雷暴的影响,导致蔬菜产量下降。由So far可知,句子时态是现在完成时,由by可知,句子用被动语态,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态have/has been done,主语many regions是复数。故填have been affected。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:因此,市场上某些蔬菜供应紧张,导致价格上涨。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,主语是前面整个主句的内容,因此用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:在上海,该市正积极从其他省市运输蔬菜以满足当地需求。空格处用副词修饰动词transporting,active的副词是actively,意为“积极地”,故填actively。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:与此同时,正在努力加快当地种植蔬菜的收获和补充。make efforts to do sth.是固定短语,意为“努力做某事”,句子是用的被动语态,因此空格处用不定式to speed,故填to speed。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:展望未来,专家认为,虽然蔬菜价格短期内可能会继续季节性上涨,但进一步上涨的潜力有限。句中谓语是believe,空格处用非谓语动词,experts和look之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,作状语。位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填Looking。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:展望未来,专家认为,虽然蔬菜价格短期内可能会继续季节性上涨,但进一步上涨的潜力有限。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词rises,season的形容词是seasonal,意为“季节性的”。故填seasonal。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer vacation, I worked as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for the first time. It was challenging for me to adapt to the fast-paced work and communicate with strangers at first. Nevertheless, I was determined to provide customers with good service.
One day, a man and his son came in and spent a very long time looking through the menu. Eventually, the father called me over and started asking me about the ingredients (配料) because his son was allergic (过敏的) . Then the boy handed me a card that listed all the things he was allergic to. It was a lot. I couldn't remember all exactly, but I knew eggs and pork were on the list, as well as a couple of ingredients, like pepper. I asked to borrow the card so I could make a check. He agreed, and off I went.
It turned out that a lot of our ingredients and sauces used at least one thing the boy was allergic to, and the allergy to pork took over half our menu options away on its own. Despite being awfully busy, I spent nearly fifteen minutes checking basically everything on the list. The father seemed pretty surprised that I was going out of my way to figure this out.
Finally, I did figure out what I could do to serve the boy. Because he had an allergy to meat, I washed every piece of the cutting board carefully and wiped the table as pork oil was everywhere.
When I finally placed their dishes on the table, I felt proud of myself for getting everything right. However, that feeling was short-lived. Shortly after they started eating, while I was cleaning the table behind them, I overheard the little boy saying he was feeling uncomfortable all over and was starting to break out in hives (荨麻疹) . That was when I was shocked by the terrible realization — I forgot to tell the chef not to put pepper in the dishes!

Unexpectedly, the father came to our restaurant the next day, letter in hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I immediately dropped what I was doing to apologise and offer help. I rushed to their table, my heart pounding with guilt. The father, understanding the situation, calmly assured me it wasn’t entirely my fault but urged me to inform the kitchen staff immediately. I did as instructed, ensuring the boy was given prompt medical attention. Luckily, his condition stabilized soon after. The restaurant manager also stepped in to offer them a complimentary meal for the inconvenience caused, and they appreciated our prompt response and care.
Unexpectedly, the father came to our restaurant the next day, letter in hand. He handed me an envelope. Inside was a heartfelt thank-you note expressing his gratitude for how we handled the situation. He mentioned that despite the mishap, our swift action left a lasting impression. Attached to the note was a small gift card as a token of their appreciation. This experience taught me a valuable lesson in attention to detail and the importance of clear communication in the service industry. It also reminded me that sometimes, mistakes can lead to unexpected kindness and understanding.
