My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow  36 .
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary self-confidence, something I was really  37 . I looked up to Helen  38 she was doing what she loved—  39 people better. She always made everyone, customers and co-workers,   40 and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my  41 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet, and when I saw him _42 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I  43  __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own  __44 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “What’s  45 ? You’re not smiling today.” I  __46__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody  47 just have faith in me.”
Before long he handed me checks  48  __$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（抵押品）on this loan is my trust in your  49 as a person. Good people with a dream should have  50  __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I_ 51 __working at the restaurant, making  52 for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured, though, and I lost the  53 .
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was__54 and ended up becoming a pretty good agent.   55 . I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.

English teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country’s increasing obesity (肥胖 )rate. It’s feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England---even if it was mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools. In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
“What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry---which they can use now at home and then in their later life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
“If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we’ve got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure”.
The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.
小題1:The passage mainly talks about        .
A．the reason for obesityB．the lost cooking skills
C．the healthy eatingD．the compulsory cooking classes
小題2:Which of the following is NOT the purpose for English teenagers to receive cooking lessons?
A．To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.
B．To reduce the country’s increasing obesity rate.
C．To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared convenience foods.
D．To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.
小題3:In what way will cooking lessons benefit the students?
A．They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.
B．They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce.
C．They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.
D．They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.
小題4:The well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, thinks it        to offer compulsory cooking lessons in schools.
A．difficultB．necessaryC．funnyD．timely
小題5:It can be inferred from the passage that       .
A．cooking has always been an important part of school education in England
B．the obesity rate in Britain has been rapidly growing in recent decades
C．English teenagers will have their cooking lessons twice a week for one year
D．the students will pay a lot of money to the school for the

We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist（扭曲）has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.
Another, well—known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing（嚼）loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.
小題1:Where can you find this passage?
A．In a medicine dictionary.B．in a kids’ story book.
C．In a social science book.D．In a science textbook.
小題2:According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
A．disturbed.B．bored.C．ignored. D．relaxed.
小題3:A “rubber neck” often __________________ .
A．says bad words behind people.B．quarrels face to face with neighbors.
C．bargains with salespeople over the price D．a(chǎn)sks about other people’s business
小題4:Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as a “pain in the neck”?
A．Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.
B．Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.
C．Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.
D．Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies.
小題5:What is the main purpose of the author?
A．To tell people what might be bad manners in public.
B．To criticize (批評(píng)) the people who might be a “pain in the neck”
C．To show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”.
D．To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck.

Japan’s All Nippon Airways, which has asked passengers to visit the toilet before boarding to help the environment, said Tuesday it will fit its jets with a women-only lavatory（廁所）.
ANA will introduce one female-only toilet per aircraft on international flights next month after a survey of women fliers identified(確認(rèn)) it was the second most attractive service they wished for after being offered desserts. The rest of the toilets onboard will be for men and women as usual.
“We received many comments that having a women-only lavatory would be a factor in differentiating our airline from others,” said an NAN spokesman.

You’re standing in the dairy section at the grocery store, searching for your favorite brand. Suddenly, you catch a smell of chocolate cookies. You forget about dairy and head for the bakery (烘烤食品) section. Guess what? You just walked into an odor (氣味) trap (陷阱)! The odor was cooked up by scientists in a lab.
For years, scientists have been studying the special powers of smell. They found that more than our other senses, smell changes our mood and helps us remember things.
So companies have begun spending thousands of dollars to scent (使充滿香味) entire stores. Artificial (人造的) scents are being used to lead customers by the nose. These smells help to get people inside and put them in the mood to buy. They even make customers remember the store later, so they’ll come back for more. Also, many companies have smartly made use of product smells. A company added lemon fragrance to its dish cleaner. They wanted people to think the soap contained “natural” cleaners. It worked!
New uses for smells are being created every day. One bank, for example, gives customers coupons (優(yōu)惠券) advertising car loans (貸款). To get people to take out a loan, bank officials hope to coat these coupons with the fresh leather smell of a new car. In Australia, telephone offices are putting sweat odor on unpaid bills. Since some people sweat when they’re scared, this smell might remind them of when they were frightened. And they’ll pay the bills right away!
What lies ahead for our noses? Smell scientists are working on some pretty far-out ideas. Would you believe TV sets that produce smells? Or how about scent diets? Certain food smells will fool your stomach into thinking it’s full. Alarm clocks will scent your bedroom with a strong pleasant smell designed to wake you up. Scientists are even working on ways to keep garbage from smelling. Researchers expect scents to help students make more sense of what they’re learning.
And just think. Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!
小題1:How do sales methods affect customers in the stores?
A．They change customers’ preferences.
B．They persuade customers to use credit cards.
C．They make customers avoid bad and unsafe products.
D．They influence customers to make unplanned purchases.
小題2:Why do telephone offices put sweat odor on unpaid bills?
A．Because the sweat odor is a reminder of terrifying experience.
B．Because the sweat odor can change people’s attitude.
C．Because most people don’t think much of sweating.
D．Because many people dislike paying bills.
小題3:What does the author mean by saying “Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!”?
A．Students would benefit more from smell research.
B．Students would be more willing to do homework.
C．Smell research would develop beyond our imagination.
D．Smell research would make great differences to our life.
小題4: Why does the author write this passage?
A．To encourage the store owners to use smells.
B．To expose wrong practices by smell scientists.
C．To inform the readers of an interesting subject.
D．To blame the advertisers that use smells to sell.

Nothing can destroy a vacation quicker than losing your money or credit cards. A few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash, card and personal information while you’re traveling.
Paul Stephens, a policy analyst San Diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits（裝備）.“But their eyes glaze（呆滯） over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.
“Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?” Stephens asked．“In most cases, they can go on your to-do list with‘ buy travel bags’ and everything else,” he added.
The top recommendation is to clean your wallet. Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise（危及...的安全）your identity(身份) if lost or stolen while you’re on vocation.
Then make a photocopy of the cards you’ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you（not in your wallet）or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.
“Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when they’re not there,” he said.” Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”
小題1:According to passage, _______can destroy one’s vacation the most quickly.
A．being lost on vacationB．losing money or credit cards

The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm．Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song．
By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving．But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry．
Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 - 8:30 pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, arrive late．
But this is not always the case．If asked to a students’ party at 6:30 pm, it is unaccepted for guests to appear on time. Being the first to arrive — looking eager — is social death. When my mother is asked to a party at 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven．My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we’re young, we’re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time．
The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element of surprise．
小題1:The underlined words “off their heads” probably mean _______．
A．tiredB．crazyC．happyD．encouraging
小題2:Jane and David’s story is used to show that _______．
A．party invitations can be confusing
B．party-goers usually get hungry at parties
C．people should ask for food at parties
D．birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull
小題3:For some young people, arriving on time for a students’ party will probably be considered _______．
A．very difficultB．particularly thoughtful
C．friendly and politeD．socially unacceptable
小題4:What is the general idea of the text? 
A．It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served．
B．It’s wise to eat something before going to a party．
C．It’s important to follow social rules of party-going．
D．There’s no need to read invitations carefully．
