阅读理解。     A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from
working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.
     Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up
money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right
away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (轮班), I had
angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere,
and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear:"Mike, there"s a
problem in the men"s bathroom and you might want gloves for this one." I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and, particularly, fast service with a friendly smile.
     Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my
co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in
and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much
to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.
     From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I also learned staying positive
no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant
with me as I go forward in my life.1. Why did the author apply everywhere that summer? (No more than 12 words)  (2 marks)

     My life changed completely   5    the divorce . My mother and I moved into a small apartment across

     Yasuda is 95 years old. He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and send
e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple (AAPL)"s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads
since its launch in April, but doesn"t break down sales figures by customer age, making it impossible to
know with certainty how many old people are buying them. However, evidence suggests it"s popular
with the old.The iPad"s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to old citizens around the world,
says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly
because it"s very forgiving of mistakes." Miura"s team uses computers to help train senior citizens to rejoin
the workforce. "Unlike the PC, it doesn"t require previous(先前的) knowledge," he says.
     James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad"s popularity with
the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. "The world"s
population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it"s probably a market where Apple has
least entered," Cordwell says. Elderly users are "a key source of growth for them in the future."
     The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly
quick to accept the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under 30, according to a report by Japan"s Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an
iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent against dementia(痴呆). "Trying
new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.

1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The iPad was only intended for elderly people.
B. The use of iPad requires previous knowledge.
C. The use of iPad is mentally useful to the old.
D. Only the elderly in Japan can use iPad.

2. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A. The old get a bit strike from the iPad.
B. The iPad causes a heavy burden to the old.
C. The iPad is accepted by the old.
D. The old are very familiar with the iPad.

3. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the iPad over the PC?

A. It has intuitive interface.
B. It is easier to operate.
C. It is more accessible to beginners.
D. It is a good mental exercise.

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The old are the largest consumers in Japan.
B. The iPad is traditionally accepted by the young.
C. The old in Japan are fond of latest hi-tech products.
D. The old customers will soon replace the younger ones.

5. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. The iPad Leads Apple to the Elderly
B. Ipad Hits Japan"s Store Shelves
C. Ipad"s Arrival in Tokyo Causes Japanese to Excite
D. AAPL Tries to Balance the Old and the Yong

Even people who don"t understand English can enjoy Chaplin"s films because they are mostly silent. It isn"t what he says that makes us laugh. It depends upon actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. He is master of the art - a kind of world language. As a young man, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors. Chaplin was then invited to join a new company that was making film comedies. Very soon he had made dozens of short films for this company. And it was in his second film that he wore the clothes which made his reputation - black hat, tight coat, baggy trousers, huge shoes, moustache and walking stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd make-up made him look both comic and sad. By the time he was thirty, Chaplin was the greatest, best known and best loved comedian in the world. He received thousands of dollars for each film he made. He had formed his own manner of acting. He was welcomed by excited crowds wherever he went. But he worked very hard and had few close friends. Perhaps that is why the sad side of the little tramp began to show more clearly in the films he made. The little man began to want more than food and a roof over his head. He began to want love. In one of his most famous films "The Gold Rush" a girl plays tricks on the little man. Then she begins to feel sorry for him and treats him kindly. He mistakes her pity for love. The girl in "City Lights" is blind. She thinks he is the most wonderful man she has ever met. But then she recovers her sight and sees what a foolish figure he is. This sadness gives Chaplin"s films a depth of human experience which few comedians can equal. After living in America for forty years he moved to Switzerland. There he died on Christmas Day 1977. He once described himself as a citizen of famous pictures that were made during the 1920s and 1930s, the time of the silent films. But, to many people all over the world Chaplin will always be the king of comedy.
