When he was 16, his father seriously said to him, “I’ll give you whatever you want before you are 18. But after that, I won’t care much about you, and you should give me whatever I want.” When his 18th birthday was coming, the young man began thinking about looking for a job. So he sent resumes(簡歷) to many companies he liked on the Internet. But, most got no reply, he said, “Maybe they were surprised about my primary school education.”
By chance, one of his friends was looking for someone, who could work as an egg porter(搬運(yùn)工) in the supermarket, for 0.5 Yuan a box. Facing lots of difficulties in getting a job, he said, “I’ll take this job. At least I can make some money for my petrol(汽油).” Then every day, he drove his car, his 18th birthday gift, to work in the supermarket. He did that for three months.
Later, he heard that a newspaper was looking for a network technician(網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)員), so he asked for it. But they were also worried about his school education. He practiced his skill right in front of the computer, and showed the managers web pages he had designed. He started to work the next day, and became the director of network department in less than a year.
And now, the 23-year-old man is a boss. In January 2005, he started a magazine for children, with himself as the editor in chief（主編）. And the only writer was his father.
小題1:It was difficult for the young man to get a job because _______.
A．he was only 18 years old
B．his father cared too much about him.
C．he had an expensive car
D．he didn’t have enough school education
小題2:What did the 18th birthday mean to the young man?
A．He could get a car as a gift.
B．He had to make a living all by himself.
C．He had to leave his parents.

A．a(chǎn) well-know and rich writerB．a(chǎn) computer programmer
C．a(chǎn) very old and kind manD．a(chǎn) manager of a big company
小題4:The magazine the young man started was perhaps______.
A．a(chǎn)bout network techniciansB．a(chǎn)bout working for newspapers
C．made of many funny storiesD．sold only in supermarkets

小題1:D
小題1:B
小題1:A
小題1:C

小題1:根據(jù)“Maybe they were surprised about my primary school education.”及下文But they were also worried about his school education.描述，可知可能是因為他受的教育不夠，故選D。
小題1:根據(jù)before you are 18. But after that, I won’t care much about you, and you should give me whatever I want.”描述可知選B。
小題1:根據(jù)And the only writer was his father.描述可知選A。

Dear Donna,
Help! I’m a 15—year—old high school student in New York, In eight months, I’m going to take an entrance exam. To prepare, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed(焦慮不安的) these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do?
Yours,
Mary
Dear Mary,
Many students around the world have the same problems as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the street. Good luck!
1.Make a study plan for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days, than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night.
2.Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outside and walk. Doing exercise is a great way to reduce stress.
3.Don’t eat for drink a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee. Eat food high in vitamin(維生素) B (for example, eggs, milk, green vegetable and rice). These give you energy and help you think more clearly.
4.A student partner can help you practice for the test. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too.
Yours,
Donna

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever things weren’t going my way. “Don’t worry, one day your luck will change.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education. I had decided to try for a job in radio. One day, I wanted to host(主持) a sports program. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time.
In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience. “ Get some work with a small station and work your way up,” she said.
I went back home. I couldn’t get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn’t get the job.
I felt really down. “ Your luck will change,” Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.
As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer(播音員) if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. “ What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?” He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.
On my way home, Mom’s words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it’ll feel doubly(加倍的) good because of all the hard work you’ve had.” At that moment I knew what just what she meant.
小題1: What’s the writer’s ideal (理想的) job?
A．A sportsmanB．A shop assistantC．A sports announcerD．A businessman
小題2:Why didn’t the writer get the job in Chicago?

A．You just need wait for some time, then luck will come.
B．Luck will come if you try your best to do everything.
C．It’s important for you to wait for luck.
