After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an experienced waitress for a few days, I was 1 to wait tables on my own. All went 2 that first week. When Saturday night came, I was luckily 3 the tables not far from the kitchen. 4 , I still felt a little hard to carry the heavy trays(托盘).
Before I knew it, the 5 was full of people. I moved slowly, 6 every step. I remember how happy I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables. It looked different from the one I was 7 on. It had nice handles(手柄), which made it 8 to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to believe I was a natural at this job.
Then, an old man came to me and said,“Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved 9 you work. It seems your tray stand has been very 10 to you, but we are getting ready to 11 now, and my wife needs her 12 back.”
At first his 13 did not get across. “What was he talking about!” Then I got it. I had set my trays on his wife's orthopedic walker(助步器). I stood frozen as ice, but my face was on fire. I wanted to get into a hole and 14 .

Passage 1
Two strangers came to a village in the evening. They came to the leader of that village and asked for a place to live for the night. The leader said they could stay in the house for strangers. But they were also told about the old custom in the village—people kill the man who snores(打鼾).
The two strangers went to the house. They had a good supper there and then they went to sleep. They slept well. One hour passed. Two hours passed. Then one of them began to snore, “Vo, vo, vo…” The other stranger heard the snoring. He thought,“The people will hear the snoring and kill him.” The stranger wanted to save the man. He thought for a while and then began to sing. He sang very well. The people didn't hear the snoring. They listened to the song. Then they began to dance. Some of them sang the song together with the stranger and danced to the music. Men, women and even the leader sang and danced. That entire night one stranger snored, one stranger sang, and all the other people sang and danced.
