"Poor woman," I thought."What does she  26 life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime (盛年)?"
As I thought, another  27 lady entered the shop and sat down with her.Soon the two of them were  28  childhood days.They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years.In minutes, the two of them were shaking with  29 .
I looked again at the first woman, then in the  30 on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.I was wearing a dirty shirt.She was  31  dressed in white, her face carefully made up and her hands  32  with gold rings.I was  33 .She was laughing.I was putting the   34  of my life together.She had millions of   35 memories to recall.  36 I was worried about getting old.She was old, but it wasn"t   37  her.As I left the shop, I thought of my  38  question about God letting people live past their prime.Why, that woman was more  39  to life than I was.Age has not  40 her spirit.

What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual(虚拟的)company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction(拍卖)a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
“We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It"s great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work,” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.
Just like any other company, Shi"s didn"t develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues(同事)used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
“They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently(高效地) as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.
“It makes the company more formal,” she said.
小题1:The purpose of opening the company is to         .
A.earn money for their education fees.
B.spread love and culture with seeds.
C.see whether they can open a company.
D.collect money to open a Hope School.
小题2:According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?
A.Communication skills and teamwork 。
B.Creative and critical thinking.
C.Educational back ground.
D.Business theories.
小题3:What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph)  refer to?
A.Selling seeds.
B.CEO.
C.Every colleague"s knowledge.
D.To make her colleagues work efficiently.
小题4:We can learn from the passage that____.
A.the company is owned by 20 students.
B.the company is over-night successful.
C.the company sells fresh flowers and old books
D.the company gets much help from other company selling seeds.

In 1883,an engineer named John Roebling intended to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island.  36 ,experts throughout the world thought it impossible and not  37  .

Working together,the father and son developed concepts of  42  it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be  43  . With great  44  and inspiration,they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well,but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage, 45  him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a  46  comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In  47  of his disability,Washington still had a burning  48  to complete the bridge and his mind was still as  49  as ever.
He tried to pass on his  50  to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea  51  him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best  52  of it.

For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm,until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die  54  that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and  55  an impossible goal.

“It was cool,because I got a chance to be in a studio and see how a record is made,”says 14-year-old Javon Martin,who joined the music clubhouse 3 years ago.“It has impacted my life in a big way. People are actually starting to see me as an artist.”Ten-year-old Akheylah Hunter didn’t play an instrument when she became a club member last year. Now,she plays piano and sings with the band. What she likes best,she says,is performing.“We performed in different places,”she says.“We go on trips and it is fun.”
Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago,it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.
“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence,”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face,or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody,they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”
To expand the club and help more kids learn music,Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative,a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”
小题1:Why does the writer mention the two children in the first paragraph?
A.To tell readers that all children like music.

小题3:What is Mr.Aggeler’s possible post?
A.An organizer of the club.B.A conductor of the band.
C.An expert in child problems.D.A parent of one of the children.
小题4:What does the writer intend the passage to be?

B.A promotion of some non-profit groups.
C.An introduction of a music club for children.
