My elder sister Lisa is only four feet ten, but she has a great personality. I learned everything about 1 from her. She is 2 a brilliant businesswoman. Once she ran nine 3 at the same time just by herself. 4 she talked to her employees, she"d stand on a box. Thus she could look them straight in the eye and 5 connect with them. These days I work in my sister"s restaurant. Of course, we quarrel with each other 6 , but I think it"s 7 to be open and honest and let things out. 8 God has given us all kinds of senses, we should each have our own 9 and, of course, we can"t always 10 with others. One day a woman 11 Vicky was helping me prepare a salad for a cooking class. "You forgot sugar and vinegar," Vicky pointed 12 . "They"re used in most salad cookbooks." I 13 to her, "In my family, we don"t 14 sugar and vinegar to our salad" She argued,"We do in my family, and our salad is very good." "Yeah? Well, 15 is great!" I shouted back. Back and forth we went 16 we both burst into tears. What are you doing? I asked myself. You became so angry just 17 a recipe! Then I hugged Vicky 18 and she hugged me right back. We"ve been best friends ever since. Be real; Make 19 with people; Look them in the eye; Tell them how you feel; Don"t be afraid to say 20 you mean. When you let go of the feelings you hold inside, you"ll be amazed at what comes back to you. |

Three young ladies were receiving trains to be qualified detectives (侦探) by a policeman. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑人), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second girl smiled, flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It"s easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "How would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer. " The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM . . . he is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn"t know himself if the man wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file. He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect"s file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can"t believe it . . . it"s TRUE! The man does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That"s easy," the girl replied, "He can"t wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!" |

Every object in the world will tell a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman"s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is different about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn"t need in order to travel lighter? Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather. The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks (背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century. |
1. An ordinary woman"s leather shoes is considered unusual because _______. |
A. it was an important clue to life in the past B. it was found on a famous trail C. it at one time belonged to a VIP D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time |
2. According to this passage, in the past many people who went to Alaska _______. |
A. eventually became millionaires B. brought with them many shoes C. had conflicts with the Eskimos D. were not properly equipped |
3. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year"s supplies with them so that _________. |
A. they would not die of hunger and cold B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos D. the supplies would make Alaska rich |
4. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______. |
A. she must have lived a happy life B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired D. her other shoes were equally fashionable |

How to take care of the needy The charm of a city is not the level of its tolerance (宽容), but the humanistic care and warmth it offers to disadvantaged groups. Last week, Beijing"s urban administration and civil administration departments began an intensive winter relief camp to persuade people forced to sleep on the streets to move to relief centers, which was met with a cold response. But the government wouldn"t abandon their efforts to help the needy. Actually, it is not new for people used to sleeping on the streets to refuse to shift to relief centers. There are three main reasons why they do so. First, the lack of understanding among the staff at such centers has produced a sense of fear and strangeness among destitute people. Second, a relief center is less convenient for such people and many of them, such as professional beggars, could even lose their "jobs". And third, many of them know that they would finally be sent back home, which they want to avoid. Since the homeless are quite defensive, it would be better if officials take a friendly and patient attitude to persuade them to move into relief centers. The officials have to explain to people that relief centers are more comfortable and convenient. Besides, the government could build open centers, which are less formal than the existing relief centers, to provide temporary (临时的) place to professional beggars and garbage collectors, instead of forcing them to return to their villages and towns. A more flexible institutional arrangement could help clear the streets of extremely poor people. Since the existing relief system is "non-professional", experts argue that more legal methods and management measures are needed to deal with professional beggars, especially because persuasion alone cannot stop them from begging. Also, more measures have to be taken to make the system perfect. |
1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the beggars refused to move to the relief centers? |
A. The staff at relief centers makes them feel uncomfortable. B. The existing relief centers are "non-professional". C. Many beggars do not want to be sent back to their original villages or towns. D. Moving to relief centers will probably cause economic losses to the professional beggars. |
2. Which of the following words can take the place of "destitute" in the third paragraph? |
A. poor B. hungry C. ordinary D. unfriendly |
3. What can we conclude from the passage? |
A. The charm of a city is decided by the humanistic care offered to disadvantaged groups. B. the existing relief centers are not comfortable or convenient. C. many homeless people welcomed the winter relief program well. D. the present relief system for beggars is not perfect |
4. What is the attitude of the author towards the winter relief camp? |
A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. not caring about |
