I believe in treating others with the respect they should earn for being human beings like me, just getting through the day-to-day. Politeness, respect, and forgiveness are free, I think. _36_.
It begins like this. I had to pick up a heavy truck part from a nearby company. The employees were recently bought out by a big company and most of its operations were moved thousands of miles away. _37_. A few upset people kept on in my city were breaking up some items.
A worker went to drive a forklift (叉车) to put my part up. As he picked it up from the side, he couldn't get it into the bed of my truck. "I'll get some long forks," he said, and drove off. _38_. He came back with the long forks, had my material loaded (装上) in under a minute, and apologized anxiously for the wait, as with all the close-down mess, nobody knew where the long forks were.
_39_, especially it was running into my morning break, but the worker had done his best. That's when I remembered a saying that I wish I had come up with. To this worried young man, I said, "Just remember that when things go sideways at work or in life, the first rule is to look out for number one. The other thing is to make sure not to step in trouble."
He smiled, telling me he'd remember that, and we parted. _40_. It's hard to remember sometimes, but we're all in this strange struggle together.

A.It took about fifteen minutes
B.It seemed that he is paid by the hour
C.I could have got very angry about it
D.The company promised awards for employees
E.Employees could keep jobs if willing to move there
F.Today I had the chance to put this belief into practice
G. We can go mad or laugh it off when trouble happens

答案： 36. F 上文提到礼貌、尊重和宽容都是免费的，下文的“It begins like this”开始讲述一件事。F项“今天我有机会将这一看法付诸实践”承上启下，引出这件事，符合语境。
37. E 上文的“The employees were recently bought out by a big company…away”提到公司的大部分业务搬迁，E项“员工们如果愿意搬过去就能保住工作”具体说明员工面临的选择，与下文“几个难过的人继续在我的城市受雇”形成对比，补充了公司变动对员工的影响。
38. A 上文的“I’ll get some long forks”提到这个工人去拿长叉子，下文的“apologized anxiously for the wait”表明去拿叉子耽误了时间，A项“这花了大约15分钟”补充了他离开的时长，且与下文“had my material loaded(装上) in under a minute”形成时间上的对比，使情节更连贯。
39. C 根据下文的“especially it was running into my morning break”可知，年轻人耽误了作者的早休时间，随后的“but the worker had done his best”进行转折，表明作者并没有对此大做文章。C项“我本可以对此非常生气”与下文构成“本可以……但……”的逻辑关系，符合语境。
40. G 上文讲了作者面对麻烦本可以恼火，但他选择安慰年轻人。G项概括了两种态度，且与下文“我们都在这场奇妙的挣扎中同行”相呼应，升华主题。
