One dark and stormy night, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia,hoping to get shelter for the night.

The clerk,a friendly man with a beautiful smile,explained that there were three conferences in town. "All of our rooms are taken, ”the clerk said,"but I can' t send a nice couple like you into the rain at one o'clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night." The couple agreed.

As the elderly man paid the bill the next morning,he told the clerk,"You are the kind of person who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday 1,11 build one for you." The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh.

Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the elderly man;asking the clerk to pay him a visit. The elderly man met him in New York,and led him to the corner of The Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a reddish stone one with watchtowers thrusting up to the sky,and told the clerk that it was the hotel he had just built for him to manage.

That wonderful building was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. And this young clerk whose name was George C. Boldt never foresaw the return of events that would lead him into the manager of one of the world' s most attractive hotels.

(   ) 9. Why did the elderly man build a hotel for the clerk?

A. He was grateful to the clerk. B. They had a bet at first.

A.  helped the couple because he thought they were poor

B.  hoped that the old couple could give him a large amount of money

D.   kindness can bring a good return

(   ) 12. What do you think of the clerk?

A.  He was willing to help.

B.  He was very attractive.

D.  He liked making friends.

8. D邏輯推理題。從第三段老人所說的話中可以推斷,他認為那個酒店職員能夠打理好一個頂尖的酒店。

9. A邏輯推理題。從第二段酒店職員好心讓兩位老人深夜在自己的房間留宿的表述判斷,老人對他是心存感激的。

10. C邏輯推理題。從第三段老人說要給他建一個酒店,而三人均不約而同地大笑(The three of them had a good laugh)的表述可知,該職員當時并沒有指望得到那一對老人的回報。

11. D邏輯推理題. 從職員好心讓一對老人雨夜留宿,到老人回報給該職員一家酒店的回報可知該答案。

12. A邏輯推理題。酒店已滿員,職員完全可以將這對老人打發(fā)走,但想到當時已是深夜了,而且還下著雨,他不能將兩位老人攆走,于是將自己的房間讓出來給兩位一住。由此可見,該職員熱心快腸,樂于助人。
