For almost three years now, Mary Rodas has been a vice president at a company in New York City. Mary works in a big office, is driven in a car and makes important business decisions.
But she still has to do her homework every day. That’ s because Mary is a 16 - year - old high school student.
How did a teenager get to be a vice president? It all started when she was a little girl in Union City, New Jersey. One day, she was watching a worker, Donald Spector, put in new tiles (瓷磚). He laid the tiles in the correct pattern everywhere but behind the kitchen door.
“Mister,” she said, walking right up to him. “You’re doing it all wrong.”
“It’s okay, Mary,” Spector said “Nobody will see the tiles behind the door.”
“But it’s wrong,” Mary insisted. “You have to do it right even if nobody sees it.”
Spector was impressed she spoke her mind. Mary and Donald became friends that day, and it changed their lives. Donald Spector is an inventor and one of the founders of a company that makes toys. As Mary got a little older, Spector started to show her his ideas for new products. He wanted Mary’ s opinions. And she gave it to him straight.
Mary has come up with a lot of good ideas for the company. Take, for example, Balzac. This is a cloth ball with a balloon inside it that can be filled with air or water. In 1989, it became one of the hottest toys in the U.S. It was Mary’ s idea to fill a Balzac partly with water so that it would fly crazily (瘋狂地) when you threw it. And it was Mary who thought of putting pennies or rice inside so it would make noise when it bounced (彈起) around. She also told Spector that she didn’t like its color.
“I was 13 when Donald showed it to me,” Mary says. “It was fun to play with, but I thought the colors were boring. I told him to use neon (氖)colors, and to put them in crazy patterns.”
When Balzac hit the market, the results blew Spector away. It did so well, now stores are selling a whole bunch of Balzac products.
Donald Spector knew how much Mary was helping his company. So on Christmas Day in 1989, he gave her a present. He asked her to be the vice president of marketing in his company.
1.Why did Spector ask Mary to be the vice president of his company?
[ ]
A.Because she was a teenager.
B.Because she liked playing with all kinds of toys.
C.Because she had offered him many helpful suggestions.
D.Because she asked for less pay than anyone else.
2.Which question is not answered in the passage?
[ ]
A.How did Mary meet Donald?
B.How much money does Mary earn?
C.What does Mary do at work?
D.What was Balzac?
3.You can infer from the passage that Mary ________.
[ ]
A.is very shy
B.does not go to school
C.is smart
D.doesn’t like any colors
4.Which of the following can be chosen as the best title for the passage?
[ ]

D.A Young Vice President

Mary got a little white lamb(羊羔). She tied it to a tree in her field during the day and went to take it home every evening. One evening, she found the lamb gone. Someone had cut the rope and stolen the lamb. When her husband came home, she told him what had happened. Henry at once set out to look for the thief.
It was easy to find the thief in the small village. Henry heard that his neighbor Alex got a lamb. He went to the neighbors’ house and said angrily, “Return the lamb to me, or I’ll call the police.”
