B My husband, my fourmonthold daughter and I set out on a fiveday driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat. One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back. Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman，“Sir. Are you hungry？” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat？” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.” My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to.“This gentleman will have lunch with us today，”I said.“Please add his order to our bill.”The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly，“Thank You！”We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns. When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made_my_day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you'd like to get into, there are some ways to develop it. Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. Set time. You should have some time during every day when you'll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone. Always carry a book. When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don't lie down unless you're going to sleep. There shouldn't be a television or a computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/roommates. If you don't have a place like this, create one. Reduce television/the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. But remember: every minute you reduce of the Internet/TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time. A．Wherever you go, take a book with you. B．Go to bookstores. C．Have some good tea or coffee while you read. D．Find a quiet place. E．This may be difficult for some people. F．If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you'll really love. G．It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
