阅读理解。     A golf tournament (锦标赛) isn"t held every day and thus, as an organizer, you have to put on a
great show for those who wait for it.
     Preparations before the Tournament
     An important thing you need to note down at this stage here is that once you start advertising an event,
the event has actually begun for the audience. At this stage, you need to decide what you are going to call
this event. You should make the name and the advertisement special, so that people will give them a
second look. Depending on your economic situation, you need to decide whether you want to hold this
event for amateurs or for experts. The next thing is to choose a proper place to hold the tournament.
     Plan of Action during the Event
     While the players are on court, you have to make sure that everything they might need is made
available to them. Since golf is a sport that is played in the open, guests should be given drinks from time
to time, preferably a drink of their choice. There should also be enough dustbins to keep the court clean.
The things the guests need, from extra equipment to drinks, should not be put off for any reason.
Announcement of some contests, lucky draws (抽奖) and prizes during the event will add to the
entertainment of the tournament.      Another one of the successful golf tournament ideas is an auction
(拍卖) of some particular things during the game. You can get some equipment signed from the players.
     Post Tournament Necessities
     Now that the tournament is over, you need to keep a small after-party in the form of a dinner. During
this party, the guests can actually communicate with the players and congratulate those who won.1. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. The event means more to the audience than to the players.
B. Only professional players can attend the golf tournament.
C. The most important thing for the tournament is advertising.
D. It"s important for the organizer to draw the audience"s attention.2. The following are done before the tournament EXCEPT________.A. choosing a playing field
B. organizing an auction
C. naming the tournament
D. advertising the tournament3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The guests" need should be met as soon as possible.
B. All the players and audience can attend lucky draws.
C. The auction can only sell the equipment of the players.
D. Only the players can attend the party after the tournament.4. Why does the organizer announce the lucky draws and other activities?A. To have fun himself.
B. To earn more money.
C. To please the audience.
D. To attract more players.5. The passage is mainly written to ________.A. introduce what a golf tournament is
B. call on people to join in golf tournaments

阅读理解。     I love charity (慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of
them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to
electric goods,all at very good prices. You can get things you won"t find in the shops anymore. The thing
I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of
profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted
goods.
     The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity"s appeal to aid postwar
Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided do set up a
shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity
shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find
children"s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
     Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who
gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see
bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don"t encourage this, rather ask people
to bring things in when the shop is open.
     The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £100 million a year, funding (帮助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children,
homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get
something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and
tread lightly on the environment.1.The first charity shop in the UK was set up to        .A. raise money for patients
B. help a foreign country
C. sell cheap products
D. deal with unwanted things2. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?A. 90% of the donations are second-hand.
B. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
C. The operating costs are very low.
D. The staff are usually well paid.3. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
B. The Public"s Concem about Charity Shops.
C. What to Buy at Charity Shops.
D. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

阅读理解。     When you were looking for a reliable, honest auto mechanic, how did you find him?Before you went
into that restaurant you recently tried, how did you know that it served great food?If you are like most
people on the planet, you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to
refer to a business they trust. Marketers call this friendtofriend recognition of a business "wordofmouth"
advertising.
     When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job, people are going to talk about your business. Unfortunately, because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones,
we"re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.
Understand this:Customers believe their own experience. You can"t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.
     So, to get positive wordofmouth going for your business in this servicebased economy, you"ve got to
do a really outstanding job for everyone, exactly.
And when you do, you build a great reputation. That takes time. But it forms a close link with your
customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.
The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers"
money, people want to know whom they can trust. So people are going to be talking about you. Create
a free sales force for your business-an army of delighted  customers who tell everyone that they know
how good your company is to do business with. That"s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.1. What is the main topic of this passage?A. A good name will bring you money.
B. A person should rely on his friends for business.
C. Advertising can make customers believe it"s wonderful.
D. A company can rely on its associates to survive.2. According to the passage, whether we go to a place or not depends on________.A. business fame  
B. media assistance
C. particular recognition 
D. associates"recommendation3. When you do an outstanding job in service, you will surely________.A. make more money than you expect
B. have a mutual understanding with your customers
C. build a great reputation immediately
D. earn your fame as well as advertise for your company4. The underlined word "defectionitis" probably means________.A. service imperfection 
B. customers" distrust
C. customers"protection 
D. service advertisement

阅读理解。                                                      It Tastes Just Like Chicken
     Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, "Glad to meet you … glad to be doing business with you ..." quite like sharing a
meal offered by your host.
     Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "Thanks, but no." Acceptance of the food on your
plate means acceptance of the host, the country, and the company. So, no matter how difficult it may be
to swallow (吞咽), swallow. Or, as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron (铸铁的)
stomach and eat everything everywhere."
     Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country"s eating culture. What would Americans
think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort
comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity (不熟悉) with it. After all, an
oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep"s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost
anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way,
in Saudi Arabia sheep"s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it"s pig"s tails.
     Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least
not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice (切) any item very thin. This way, you
minimize (最小化) the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one
traveler recommends. "I still can"t tell you what sheep"s eyeballs taste like." As for dealing with taste, the
old line that "it tastes just like chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when the "it" is really rat or snake.
     Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What"s for dinner? Don"t ask.  
Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you
are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup. 1. The purpose of the article is to _________.A. introduce unfamiliar food
B. share the writer"s personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier (障碍)
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food2. According to the writer, people hesitate (犹豫) at strange food mainly due to _________. A. the way it looks                  
B. safety worries
C. not knowing much about it    
D. the unfamiliar atmosphere3. From the article we can infer that ________. A. an American may feel comfortable with apple pie
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures4. One may say "It tastes just like chicken." when __________. A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. judging chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try an unpleasant meal
