问题                     Make a Good First Impression
    Have you ever been in a doctor’s waiting room and looked around at all the glum faces waiting impatiently to be seen? Dr. Stephen K. Sproul, a veterinarian in Raytown, Missouri, told of a typical spring day when his waiting room was full of clients waiting to have their pets inoculated.【T1】______He told one of our classes:
    "There were six or seven clients waiting when a young woman came in with a nine-month-old baby and a kitten.【T2】______The next thing he knew, the baby just looked up at him with that great big smile that is so characteristic of babies. What did that gentleman do?【T3】______Soon he struck up a conversation with the woman about her baby and his grandchildren, and soon the entire reception room joined in, and the boredom and tension were converted into a pleasant and enjoyable experience. "
    The ancient Chinese were a wise lot—wise in the ways of the world;and they had a proverb that you and I ought to cut out and paste inside our hats. 【T4】______
    Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill.【T5】______To someone who has seen a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Especially when that someone is under pressure from his bosses, his customers, his teachers or parents or children, a smile can help him realize that all is not hopeless—that there is joy in the world.
A. It goes like this, "A man without a smiling face must not open a shop. "
B. As luck would have it, she sat down next to a gentleman who was more than a little distraught about the long wait for service.
C. Just what you and I would do, of course;he smiled back at the baby.
D. No one was talking to anyone else, and all were probably thinking of a dozen other things they would rather be doing than "wasting time" sitting in that office.
E. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it.
F. So, naturally, we are glad to see them.
【T1】

选项

答案D

解析 本段开头作者就问道,你曾经在医生的候诊室里留意过那些等待看病的阴郁面孔吗?那么后面肯定是要讲到候诊室里的人们的情况。D项意为没有人闲聊,他们大概都在想着其他事情,他们宁愿待在候诊室里“浪费时间”。与本段语境相符。
