C B When Frank Herbert ordered pizza from Pizza Huts, he was surprised that Judit, at such an old age, worked as a delivery driver. That's when the 89-year-old man first came into the sight of the Herbert family. Judit Newey started delivering pizza in Roy, Utah, to help pay the bills, as his social security benefits (社会保障金) weren't enough to live on. From the moment the Herberts heard him say, “Hello, are you looking for some pizza," Judit found his way into their hearts! Ever since that day, whenever they place an order, they ask for Judit personally. It didn't take long for them to begin recording their sweet meetings and share them on TikTok, which is how thousands of other people fell in love with Judit. Still, his fans couldn't help but wonder why someone at his age was working so hard—question the Herbert family was asking themselves too. They spoke with Judit, and when they found out he works 30 hours a week to make ends meet, they decided to collect donations to make his life easier. They figured anything would help, but the total sum which is up to $12,000 really surprised them! In September, the couple decided to switch things up by showing up at Judit's door with a couple of gifts. First, they surprised him with a cute cartoon shirt of himself holding a pizza box. Then they revealed the surprising act of generosity that brought him to tears! They explained that they had rallied their TikTok community to support him, and while he's not entirely sure what the platform is, he couldn't be more thankful. “How do ever say thank you? I don't know what to say, "he told them. "I don't know what to say, except thank you." The Herberts insisted they were just the messengers. It was his fans who made the wonderful gift possible. Plus, the way they see it, they're just repaying Judit for his kindness. 4. What did Judit Newey mean by saying "Hello, are you looking for some pizza,"? A. He was selling pizza. B. He was delivering pizza. C. The Herberts were making the order. D. The Herberts lost some pizza. 5. Why does Judit Newey have to deliver pizza at such an old age of 89? A. To help people in need. B. To raise money for the poor. C. To volunteer in a charity. D. To make his living. 6. What can be inferred from the text? A. The money the Herberts raised was beyond their expectations. B. The Herberts asked TikTok for help to record their meeting. C. Judit was very thankful because of the support from TikTok. D. Judit worked 30 hours a week to afford his social security benefits. 7. Which of the following can best describe the Herberts? A. Helpful and warmhearted. B. Optimistic and wise. C. Generous and hardworking. D. Kind and talented. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A C Professor Cooper once gave a lecture in his first acting class for us in the first term, informing us of the significance of valuing the business of acting. As I made preparations for my graduation as a senior, I thought back on the lecture in the first class and I considered my love for the art of theatre seriously. I'm more than happy to say that, for the most part, my determination for acting remained as strong as ever. Even after I've learned about the difficulties and the heartbreak that go with working as an actor, I know that it is still the right path for me. Something Professor Cooper said in that first acting class has stuck with me through these last three years. He said, "Every actor chooses to act for their own reasons —personally I do it because I have to. I have to perform. It's who l am." For as long as I've been performin
