Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.

Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.

Many other companies have been rumored(謠傳) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He stands behind his dreams at the very beginning. He knows the value of the company could fall down; however, he is in this to build something unbelievable, not be bought out by another company.

Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15 billion dollars if Mark decides to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.

1.What cannot be done on Facebook according to the passage?

A．Chatting.                              B．Sharing information.

C．up- and downloading pictures              D．Shopping online.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Yahoo offered one billion dollars to help Facebook through financial difficulties.

B．Facebook is a California-based social working website.

C．Mark will be kept from working to continue his dreams of building something cool.

D．Facebook has made a profit of 15 billion dollars so far.

3.The underlined word “this” (Paragraph 3) most probably refers to ______.

A．buying companies                       B．sharing information

C．managing Facebook                      D．fighting rumors

4.Which of the following words best describes Mark Zukerberg according to the passage?

A．Determined.       B．Humorous.         C．Gentle.           D．Selfless.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆河北衡水安平中學(xué)高三上期第二次月考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

“When I grow up, I want to be...”

Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.

However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.

Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.

It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.

However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.

With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Careers in teenagers’ mind.

B. Choosing a good job is very important.

C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors.

D. The choice of career needs challenge.

2.What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?

A. Medicine        B. Law        C. Bank        D. Education

3.According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor except_______.

A. respect from others                B. the oldest profession

C. high pay                  D. upward social mobility.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career.

B. Specific education and training can help get a good job.

C. Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

D. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
