阅读理解     As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father
would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to
Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and
West Germany.
     I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going
abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them
first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the
excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for
someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.
     After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf
to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was
simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked
the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most
enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
     Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even
today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.
Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on
Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

阅读理解       I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have
cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a
sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids" too. But_at_least_I_wasn"t
_alone_in_my_sufferings.   My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
       My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends
were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we"d be gone an hour, then we be gone one
hour or less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you
can see how mean she was.
     The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning.
We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath,
while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up
mean things to do to us.
    Through the years, things didn"t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did,
and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends" report cards
had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she
was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
      As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school.
With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure
of being a dropout.
      My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some
higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You"re right,
our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
      Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.
Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.

1. What does the sentence "But at least I wasn"t alone in my sufferings." mean?
A. The author"s mother was only mean to her.
B. The author"s mother suffered her.
C. The author"s mother was mean to her sister, brothers and her.
D. The author wasn"t alone because of suffering.

2. According to the passage, the author"s mother will ask her children to do all the following
    EXCEPT ________.
A. learn to cook
B. wear clean clothes
C. go to bed and get up at fixed time
D. drink as much Cokes as they want

3. Why was the author"s mother mean to her children?
A. Because she wanted her children to be top students in school.
B. Because she wanted her children to bring home colored report cards like her friends did.
C. Because she wanted her children to drop out.
D. Because she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens.

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some of the children weren"t able to go to college because of their mean mother.
B. Mother didn"t let the author tell lies.
C. Mother asked the author to wear clean clothes.
D. The author could not miss school even if she was ill.

5. What"s the main idea of the passage?
A. The kind mother.
B. The meanest mother
C. The failure mother
D. The successful mother

   I was a very determined 16yearold. One day I woke up and realized I wasn"t famous. I decided to do
something about it. I would get my name published in the Guinness Book of World Records.
   Having made this decision, I needed to think of something I could do well. First, I thought I could tie
my arm around my back and become "the person who swam the furthest with only one arm". But as
soon as I got in the water I sank.
   I knew I liked cookies, so I stuffed (塞进) 16 in my mouth and tried to be "the person who put the
most cookies in his mouth". But when cookie 17 went in, I got sick.
   I realized that I wasn"t really good at anything. Then it hit me! I ran to the bathroom and filled up the
tub with water. I had decided to be "the person who took the world"s longest bath". It was perfect
because all I had to do was sit there.
   I entered the tub at 5 o"clock on a Friday evening. The first three hours went great. I drank soda and
ate potato chips. Being in the water so long wrinkled my hands and feet and made me look like I was
80. But I was determined.
   At 8:45 my brother shouted through the bathroom door that the record for the longest bath was more
than a month and that there was also a record for most rattlesnakes with a human in a bathtub.
   Feeling rejected,_I got out. Maybe I"ll never be in the Guinness book of World Records. But that"s
OK. I am still special. Besides, I have more important things to do than sit in a bathtub for a month!

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. "I"m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," Deluca recalls saying. "Buck said, "you should open a sandwich shop."" That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn"t cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000. But business didn"t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn"t know how badly, because we didn"t have any financial controls." All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They"d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, "We are so successful; we are opening a second store."" And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners" learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. "It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn"t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out," Deluca says. And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal," Deluca adds. Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 1. Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________. A. support his family B. pay for his college education C. help his partner expand business D. do some research 2. Which of the following is true of Buck? A. He put money into the sandwich business. B. He was a professor of business administration. C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport. D. He rented a storefront for Deluca. 3. What can we learn about their first shop? A. It stood at an unfavorable place. B. It lowered the prices to poor management. C. It made no profits due to poor management. D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwich. 4. They decided to open a second store because they ________. A. had enough money to do it B. had succeeded in their business C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers D. wanted to make believe(假装)that they were successful 5. What contributes most to their success according to the author? A. Learning by trial and error. B. Making friends with supplies. C. Finding a good partner. D. Opening chain stores.
