Passage 1

Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.

Aleem Walji works for https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d618158443.html, -- the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where

infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d618158443.html, will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d618158443.html,’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium -sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs.

The creators of Google have promised to give https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d618158443.html, about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future.

Passage 2

After practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons, a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.

As part of the application procedure, Dr Ginoux was to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in the case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe s he should have….. Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgement? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.

Passage 3

I often find myself trying to explain the attraction traveling holds for me. Traveling, according to many people, is often uncomfortable and even, at least sometimes, dangerous. But one benefit of traveling is that it creates a perfect atmosphere for the observation of life, an environment that can lead to better understanding and enlightenment. Many wonderful people and places lie on the road ahead. The fact that there are obstacles as well only makes the journey more rewarding. My life and my memories will b e improved after encountering these people and places. That’s a pretty big benefit!

Of course I could also enrich my life without traveling very far at all, but there is something about foreign lands that provides an additional fascination. I think most non-travelers are simply too distracted by things such as work, home, and friends to devote their full attention to observation

of life. I'm more observant when I'm on the road and therefore, more alive. I talk to more people and listen to them carefully. I keenly notice everything about my strange new environment. I see

a lot of humor that can compensate for(弥补) the misery(痛苦) of moving about.

21 Many people’s opinion about traveling is that ____D__________.

A. it’s a good chance to enjoy the natural beauty.

B. it’s an eye-opening experience.

C. it’s too costly and it’s not worth the money.

D. it’s often not comfortable and sometimes not safe.

22 Which of the following is NOT TRUE? C

A. Traveling enables the author to observe life more easily.

B. Traveling enables the author to understand life better.

C. Traveling enables the author to know the importance of living in the same place.

D. Traveling enables the author to know many wonderful people and places

23ccording to the author, _______A___ can only make the journey more worthwhile.

A. obstacles

B. memories

C. additional fascination

D. benefit 24Acording to the author, the problem with most non-travelers is that ________B______.

A. they live a busy life without having fun.

B. their attention centers so much on work, home and friends that they don’t observe life

wholeheartedly.

C. they consider money-making the most important thing.

D. they can’t enrich their life because they don’t travel very far.

25According to the author, B______ can make up for the pain of going around.

A. new environment

B. humor

C. foreign lands

D. understanding

Passage 4

Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.

The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.

Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?

The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.

In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.

26. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ____C__.

A) bosses are hard to deal with B) bosses have good character

C) bosses determine your career future D) bosses must have similar personality

27. In the second paragraph, “rise up the career ladder” (Line 2) m eans _C_______.

A) going to work abroad B) changing jobs frequently

C) being promoted in position D) pursuing an advanced degree

28. In order to achieve his objectives, your boss expects that you will __A______.

A) do your best in your work B) show your management skills

C) get along with your colleagues D) write reports to upper management

29. The most important factor for establishing a good working relationship with the boss is

_____D___.

A) high expectations B) quick feedback

C) frequent criticism D) effective communication

30. The best title for the passage might be _B_______.

A) How to Take Care Of Your Boss. B) How to Get Along with Your Boss

C) How to Accept Your Boss’s Criticism D) How to Accomplish Your Boss’s Objective

If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of 41 who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the Unites today. It

is 42 an indoor game, and the 43 extends from late autumn through the winter to early spring. There are many professional teams, but for the most part, basketball is a school sport. There is 44 a high school or college in the country that does not have its team.

In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather you can

see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the 45 . Radio and television bring

the details of the big games to every corner of the land, and the 46 of the professional

team are a subject of conversation for Americans 47 .

In the autumn, the most popular sport is football. 48 you know, this is not the same

kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball,

it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in seeing

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to
