One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son. 21 in the 22 store, I had my pocket 23 and my whole salary was gone with it. I was so angry that I almost lost 24 of myself. What could I do? We were not very rich. The money was really not a small sum for my family. It would 25 our life greatly. How could I tell my wife?
I felt very sad and even 26 for losing the money then I got home. To make up for my 27 mistake, I gathered all my strength to give our house a thorough cleaning and then prepared a wonderful meal and cooked a special dish my wife loved to 28 her.
When she came home, I 29 a smile to 30 her. She was 31 to see the neat house and delicious meal. We sat at the table and began to eat. I told my story 32 . She did not 33 .It was as if she had not heard my words.
“I’ve lost my salary,” I murmured to her again.
“I see,” she did not shout at me as I had 34 . She didn’t lose her 35 . So I was afraid she was trying hard to 36 her anger.
A moment later, my wife was still 37 and seemed to be enjoying her favourite dish. At last I could not keep asking, “I’ve lost the money. Why not shout at me?”She 38 her eyes, looking at me and said, “oh, on the contrary, I’m thinking about how to 39 you. It’s 40 who is to blame.

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my 36 for greater contact with local students, 37 I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy, 38 and sometimes snobby （势利的） people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After 39 the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to 40 them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my 41 confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 42 of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and 43 behind my back calling me a weirdo（古怪的人） melted into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally worked My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 44 and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and 45 to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my 46 in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your 47 dreams.

The Chinese-born American architect Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most creative architects of our times. He has incorporated both eastern and western ideas into his designs.
Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker. In 1935, at the age of 17, he came to the United States to study architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1942, he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy selected Pei to design the Kennedy library. After that he became well-known all of the world. People named it one of the Ten Best Buildings in the United States. In 1968, Pei started work on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C.. Over one million people visited the building during its first 50 days in existence.
Following the East Wing project Pei"s fame has continued to grow widely. In 1983, French President commissioned(委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the completion of Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, "the greatest challenge and greatest accomplishment of my career." At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted "third way of making buildings." Avoiding both a complete copying of traditional Chinese motifs(特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed, at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent(有说服力的) statements.
Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world. In 1990, Pei was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George Bush for his contributions to world peace and service to the US government.

Like most July days, it was hot．I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream．It was a very 21 store with little round tables and chairs．
As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a 22 near the door．Her back was so 23 twisted （扭曲） by some misfortune that her face nearly 24 the tabletop．1 sat down 25 her a couple of tables away．
"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. |
