1．Whatcanbethebesttitleforthistext?

A．HowHardLifeIsforBoxBoys

B．GettingalongwithCustomers

C．WhyIGaveupMyJob

D．TheArtofTakingTips

解析：

选C　标题归纳题。

通过阅读全文可知，作者在超市工作时有顾客给小费，他认为接受小费是一种礼貌行为；但是经理不允许他收小费，这使得作者很为难，最后作者放弃了这份工作。

C项概括了全文主旨，适合做本文的标题。

2．Fromthesecondparagraph,wecaninferthat________.

A．thewriterdidn’tliketheimpersonalpartofhisjob

B．withanameplate,peoplecaneasilystarttalking

C．MrCastlemistookIrvingforBrett

D．Irvingwasthewriter’srealname

解析：

选A　推理判断题。

根据第二段第九句“Hedidn’tremembermeatall;hejustreadthenameplate.”可知，顾客之所以能叫出作者的名字，是因为他身上佩戴了写有名字的名牌。

同时由第二段最后一句“There’snothingpersonalhere.”可推知，作者应该是不喜欢自己的工作缺乏人情味这一点。

故选A。

3．Theboxboyrefusedtoaccepttipsbecause________.

A．customersonlygavesmalltips

B．somecustomershadstrangeideasabouttipping

C．thestoredidn’tallowtheboxboystotaketips

D．hedidn’twanttofightwiththecustomers

解析：

选C　细节理解题。

根据第三段第二句“Oneofthesewas:

youcouldn’taccepttips.”可知，公司不允许接受小费，所以作者拒绝收客人的小费。

故选C。

4．Theunderlinedphrase“putdown”inthethirdparagraphprobablymeans“________”．

A．misunderstood　　　　　B．defeated

C．hatefulD．hurt

解析：

选D　词义猜测题。

文中第三段提及，如果作者不接受客人的小费，客人会很不高兴，且由“Itgetstoapoint...preventhimfromtippingyou.”的提示可推知，putdown的意思应为“受伤害”，与hurt意思相近。

故选D。

B
