Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York. The reporter was talking to them about being important. “How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker. The banker thought for a few moments and then said,” I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important. ” The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked. The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. ” The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?” “No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. ” “Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked. “Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you.” 小题1:There are _______ in this passage.A.two men and two women | B.three men and one woman | C.three women and one man | D.four women | 小题2:The banker thought _______.A.he was really important because he was a rich banker | B.the visitor to the White House was really important | C.the visitor who met the President of the United States | D.the reporter was really important | 小题3: The owner of many buildings thought _______.A.he was really important because he owned many buildings in the center of New York | B.the owner of the very large company was really important | C.the visitor was really important if he was talking to the President and the President received a telephone call for the visitor | D.the person who worked in the White House was really important |

It began with a red paper clip and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroom house through 14 trades (交换) that started with a single red paper clip. Encouraged by Kyle’s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they don’t usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don’t have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery (递送). Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go. You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, “What’s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert — one million dollars or a glass of water?” Kyle’s words probably show why these trades are poplar among young people. 4. Where can people trade things they do not usually use according to the passage? A. On the Internet. B. In Beijing. C. In Canada. D. In the desert. 5. Why are trading activities popular among young people? A. Because they can make a lot of money by trading with other people. B. Because the traders can get things that are useful to them. C.

If you begin with a paper clip, you will finally get a house by trading. B. A young girl in Beijing got a house through trading. C. A glass of water is more important than one million dollars. D. Many traders like face-to-face trading because they don’t have to pay for the delivery. |
