阅读理解。     She is quiet, soft-spoken and has a kind face and a strong heart. She is my mom, Lili.
     When I was nine, Lili quitted her job and started her own business. She said she didn"t want to stay
at home and work as a housewife: "It"s a waste of life." Lili became so busy that she spent less and less
time with me. She didn"t help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, "so that you can develop
your independence". We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents" meetings.
     Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under
control. I want to be perfect and I don"t expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve
my goals.
     After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other.
     In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I
was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me.
     That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles
around them.
     She took me to see a therapist (治疗师). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was
like a wheel spinning (旋转) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I
only realized it when my body couldn"t stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears.
"It"s all my fault, she"s just a kid and I didn"t have time to take care of her…To be honest, I had never
seen Lili cry before.
     After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized
she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is
the one who really cares about her kid.                           1. Lili quitted her job and started her own business because _________.A. she wanted to make more money

阅读理解。     Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn"t always come
home with them. Airline identification tags(标签) can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where.
And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
     The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don"t keep them,
since they"re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines
might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
     So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong
to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The "Unclaimed
Baggage Center," is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the
number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and
take one of the store"s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
     Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran(老练的)shoppers rush to paw over them.
You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets,
tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
     The store"s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The
Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
     The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions(获得物) have been
preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh"s tomb, and a
medieval suit of armor.
     Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is
permanently lost and available to the store.1. Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.A. they are forgetful
B. they are in a hurry

B. The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.

阅读理解     When you"re an employee of a company, no matter the size, it"s common to see co-workers
promoted, or transferred to a different department. But there is another way to move around-by
creating a new position for yourself. I did this several years ago, though I wasn"t actively looking
for a different job.
     In 2007, I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as a customer service
representative in the distributions services department. I processed requests for distributions from
our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. Someone might have forgotten to sign a
form, for example, or might have omitted security information. To solve the problem, I"d mail the
person a letter.
     The company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a
collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. The longer I worked
with the letters, the more I saw how they could be improved. Some had overlapping information
and could be combined. Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. I also noticed that industry
terminology(专业术语) wasn"t standard across all the versions.
     When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed
revamping. She said I should stop what I"d been doing and start the new work. In a relatively short
time, I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. It was an
informal job change until a managers" meeting several months later.
     At that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division"s
entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. My manager told her that she knew the perfect
person for the job-me. The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks,
but I was able to show that the work had value, and I was officially promoted and given a raise in
November 2009.1. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?A .The author admired those who got a promotion in his company.
B. The author tried his best to get a promotion in his company
C. The author was eager to seek another job.
D. It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.2. Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some information needed to be united.  
B. Some information was overlooked.
C. Some had grammatical mistakes.    
D. Industry terminology didn"t meet the standard. 3. The underlined word "revamping" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to         .A. improving    
B.  rebuilding    
C.  repeating    
D.  strengthening 4.The author started to review the letters when         .A. he was hired by the company    
B. his department supervisor agreed his idea
C. he was recommended at a managers" meeting              
D. he was promoted5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Where there is will, there is a way.
B. Don"t let the chance go, when it comes.
C. Creating a position, and earning a promotion.
D. Ways to get a promotion.
