hurt putting out the flames in Green Bay.
The fire was discovered around 4 o"clock at a three-story home in the South Quincy Street on the city"s

falling around him."I didn"t know what to do. I yelled for her a couple more times,and then I heard her."
Disoriented (分不清方向的) and unable to move, Mary was sprawling (趴) on the floor in the back of her

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I
was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much chance to enjoy the sun
in the UK and having naturally fair skin, my legs are very white. In the UK this is not a fashionable (时尚的)
look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin,
the better the look.
As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants didn"t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking
quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop,
she asked me what was wrong. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend
laughed."They weren"t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want
to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a
lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the
other side. If the women of the West and East thought the same way, Western women wouldn"t spend so
much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn"t need to use cream that
makes skin whiter. |

____________________________________________________________________
2. What kind of skin do most British women prefer to have?
____________________________________________________________________
3. Why did the writer think the shop assistants were laughing at her?

Farrah Gray, a self-made millionaire by age 14, recognizes there"s more to richness than money alone.
Not too many people become entrepreneurs, published authors, producers and philanthropists in their
lifetime. But don"t tell that to Farrah Gray.
Gray"s rise in the business world is an unlikely story. Growing up poor on Chicago"s Southside, Gray
said he used to dream he would one day look from his office onto the streets of Manhattan. He dreamed
of giving speeches that would inspire millions and making enough money to ensure that his mother didn"t
have to work two jobs.
It didn"t take Gray very long to _______. At age 14, Gray became a self-made millionaire when his
company, Farr-Out Foods, which specialized in food targeted at young people, gained more than $1.5
million in sales. Shortly after, Gray sold his company for more than $1 million, but has continued working
to inspire others with his success.
Gray"s entrepreneurial spirit was developed at a young age. He started his first business at age 6, selling
homemade lotion door to door. Gray said he experienced a thrill from selling something he helped create
and was instantly hooked.
"Ideas are the most precious thing that can come to you. Every big idea starts out small," he said.
Since age 12, Gray has toured the United States sharing his experiences with audiences. Gray tells
audiences that it is important to"believe in yourself when no one else will."
He has always made a great effort to inspire others to follow in his footsteps of success. His philosophy
is "success is a process that must be taken step by step." He details these steps in his bestselling book,
Reallionaire, which has made its way onto www.Amazon.com"s bestseller list.
An important staple of Gray"s career has been his emphasis on philanthropy. His basic belief is, "The
more you have, the more you should give." | Questions:
1. Does Farrah Gray recognize there is more to richness than money alone?
____________________________________________________________________________
