• 1．In Thanks for What We Have I sat nervously and waited for Kathleen to speak.Being called to the human resources department is a little like being called to the principal's office. "Annie，" she said， "A food bank in our town that serves the elderly is asking for （1）

     The memory of Jim's（6）

  fired my enthusiasm.Perhaps I'd be in for a pleasant surprise.
  The next morning I posted signs about our food drive all over the cafeteria and on every notice board I could find.Each sign read， "Food drive to support the elderly poor of our town!Donations of non-perishable（不易腐的） foods are greatly needed."
     Within a few days I had to locate empty office space to（7）

第三部分：書面表達(dá)（共兩節(jié)，32分）第一節(jié)閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求回答問題（共1小題，共12分）。

• 8．Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart（購物手推車）.They will，in a lifetime，push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles.But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.
      Sylvan N.Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937.At that time he was in the supermarket business.Every day he would see shoppers lugging（吃力地?cái)y帶） groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
      One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels.The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers，and would help to attract more business.
      On June 4，1937，Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market.He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving.He couldn't wait to see them using his invention.
      But Goldman was disappointed.Most shoppers gave the carts a long look，but hardly anybody would give them a try.
      After a while，Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. "Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？" one shopper replied.
      But Goldman wasn't beaten yet.He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try.To this end，Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping!Seeing this，the real customers gradually began copying the phony（假冒的） customers.
      As Goldman had hoped，the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market.But not only did more people come—those who came bought more.With larger，easier-to-handle baskets，customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
      Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model.Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.
  
  （1）Why was Goldman disappointed at first？

  
  （2）Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  The purpose of Goldman's invention was to make shopping easier and show off his imagination.

  
  （4）What do you think of Goldman？Please briefly explain. （about 40 words）
