Its the color of the front door at The Purple Door coffee shop, a place that does much more than serve coffee and tea. “It has high value, and so whenever you walk through that door, anyone knows you have worth and value，” said Jenna Williams, who has worked at the coffee shop for one year. But its the people behind the counter (柜台) who are benefiting the most from finding their worth and value. The people taking orders and serving coffee were all homeless. “Theyve given me so many second chances，” said Jenna, a 23yearold who had been living on the streets since she was 15. “Its all about love. Were not just a business. We are a family.” The Purple Door takes in young adults, and gives them a job for one year. It s a nonprofit (非营利机构) that also helps them find a place to live, giving them a chance to reenter a good life. Its the brainchild of Madison Chandler and Mark Smesrud, who opened the coffee shop two years ago. “The hardest thing about this job for me has been how to balance pushing someone to become better and being patient with them when they fail，”Madison said. Part of that struggle came last October, when Jenna nearly lost her job. The Purple Door helped Jenna by using a 52week program. “It helped me pull away from the bad situation I was in in October，” she said. The Purple Door has about a 50 percent success rate, though Mark adds that those who have not accomplished the program may still benefit from what they have learned. Jenna soon got back on track, and recently finished her oneyear program, landing a fulltime job at the famous coffeehouse Starbucks. “The Purple Door coffee family gave me the chance no one else would. They understood，” she said. “This program works and its exactly what Street Kids needed.”【文章大意】本文是新闻报道。美国丹佛市的一家咖啡店帮助无家可归的年轻人开始新生活。1What makes the coffee shop unusual?AIts hidden in a secret place.BIt has an attractive purple door.CIt helps homeless youth start a new life.DIt offers classes to badlybehaved children.解析：C推理判断题。根据第二至五段的内容可知，这家咖啡店与众不同的是，它帮助无家可归的年轻人开始新生活。2Which does Madison find the most difficult?AHow to train the workers.BHow to keep the shop running.CHow to make the shop wellknown.DHow to help the workers find new jobs.解析：A细节理解题。根据Madison在文章中间部分说的The hardest thing.when they fail可知，对Madison来说，培训、培养员工最困难。3What does the underlined word “accomplished” in the text mean?AAgreed on.BCompleted.CEntered for.
