On a cold morning nine years ago, Steve Cortes and his wife were travelling in Ellijay, a tiny town of 1,600 in Georgia's Smoky Mountains.It was about time for breakfast as they came across the Cornerstone Café, only to find it packed.Just as they prepared to go elsewhere,one of the diners motioned (示意)them over.“We can make room,” he said.Actually, several diners moved over until there was enough space for the couple to pull up two chairs at the end of a table.
Breakfast and friendship were served.“After an hour, we had made too many friends to count,”Cortes wrote.
The hospitality (好客) may have surprised the Corteses, but Ellijay is famous in these parts for taking care of others.When a thunderstorm struck the town in July, dozens of residents were trapped in their homes by fallen trees.Without even being asked, neighbours offered them food and comfort.“This is the most amazing place I've ever lived! Every time I think about it, I actually get emotional,” one woman wrote.
As the Apple Capital of Georgia, Ellijay has seen migrant farm workers from Mexico and Central America come to pick apples during the harvest season.The people of Ellijay have made room for these new arrivals.The Gilmer Learning Centre now teaches English as a second language.A charity fashion show and auction (拍卖) are also in the works, with the money intended for the farm families.
“I came to America from Mexico not knowing English, and I've always felt very welcomed by my classmates and the teachers in the community,”says Maria Gonzalez Santos, 21, a student at the local community college.
Ellijay's spirit of acceptance has a way of staying with people.It happened to Steve Cortes and his wife too.They started off simply driving through the town many years ago, but they felt so welcomed that they ended up moving to Ellijay.They even opened a clothing store here.
1.Why are the Corteses mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?
A.To prove the popularity of Ellijay.
B.To introduce the good business of the café.
C.To indicate the special features of the café.
D.To show Ellijay's attitude to newcomers.
2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about Ellijay?
A.It has large areas of forests.
B.It has a friendly neighbourhood.
C.It is famous for its delicious food.
D.It is often struck by natural disasters.
3.What might make Ellijay more attractive to migrant farm workers?
A.Charity auction.
B.Sightseeing tours.
C.Community spirit.
D.Family gettogethers.
