李国栋回答：

　　68.D；69.D；70.B；71.A解析:68.选D。原文首段第2句RecentlyhoweverIwasdisappointedtoseethatitalsodecideshowI’mtreatedasaperson.可知。从句中的主语it指代前一句中的myoccupation(职业)，由此可以看出，让作者感到失望的是“我的工作也能决定我身而为人是如何被对待的”，选项D“人的工作可以影响到他作为一个人被对待的方式”与原文是同义转述，因此D为答案。69.选D。第2段所举事例是说，作者在当饭店招待员时碰到了一位蛮横无礼的顾客，对她随意地呼来唤去。由此可见，作者想表达的意思是：很多顾客不尊重为他们提供服务的人，所以D正确。70.选B。原文第3段第2句Butat19yearsoldIbelievedIdeservedinferiortreatmentfromprofessionaladults可知作者19岁时在饭店当招待员，不被顾客尊重，她对此的看法是“deservedinferiortreatment”，即“比别人低人一等是理所应当的”，换句话说，作者认为这是十分自然的，即选项B所述的“natural”。正确答案为B。71.选A。由原文末段最后一句I’lltakethemtodinnerfirstandseehowtheytreatsomeonewhoseonlyjobistoservethem可知对于有求于她的人，作者会先带他去吃饭，看看他是如何对待那些为他们提供服务的人。结合前文作者的经历和感受，可以看出，作者是想通过观察他对服务生的态度和举止来了解这个人的品性，故选项A为答案。
