An Unsung Hero
Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just that, and more. 36
Catherine Murphy, a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat, makes sure that each customer gets exactly what they order. She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. 37 As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?” Even when the line is getting longer, she doesn’t let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. 38 “I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said. Being a mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is. She believes she is here to serve.
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious (有感染力) and can be the difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her. Joanna Wright, a senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. 39 “Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.
“I enjoy working in the cafe,” Murphy said. 40 She has every intention of staying and continuing doing what she loves.
A. The cafe closes at 9 pm every day.
B. She has two children aged eight and four.
C. Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early.
D. After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup.
E. Not only does this cafe serve up drinks, it also serves up smiles.
F. Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class.
G. She has served here for 17 years and can’t imagine working anywhere else.

一位默默无闻的英雄
课间需要休息一下，或者早上需要快速提提神？学院咖啡馆正好能满足您的需求，而且还有更多服务呢。这家咖啡馆不仅提供饮品，还传递着温暖的笑容。
凯瑟琳·墨菲是一位身着绿色衬衫和黑色帽子的咖啡馆工作人员，她确保每位顾客都能得到他们所点的饮品。她来回穿梭于各种机器之间制作饮品。完成订单后，她会念出杯子上的名字。当顾客从她手中接过饮品时，她会微笑着说：“您好，您今天过得怎么样？”即使队伍越来越长，她也不会因此而影响与顾客的真诚交流。
墨菲每天在四点四十五分起床，每天驱车三十分钟准时到岗。有时她会提前到达以早点为学生服务。她说：“我这样做是因为我喜欢为学生们制作咖啡。我知道他们早上需要它。”身为母亲和妻子的经历帮助她成为了现在的自己。她相信自己是来为大家服务的。
也许墨菲不知道的是，她的笑容具有感染力，能够让学生们在见到她之后度过比之前更好的一天。乔安娜·赖特是政治学专业的一名大四学生，她非常喜欢咖啡，每周至少有六天会去那家咖啡馆。去咖啡馆能让她一天的开始充满活力，为上课做好准备。“凯瑟琳总是面带灿烂的笑容，这总是能让我心情愉悦起来，”赖特说道。
“我喜欢在咖啡馆工作，”墨菲说。她在这里工作了 17 年，根本无法想象去别的地方工作。她心意已决，打算留下来并继续从事自己热爱的工作。
