试题分析：本文讲述了一个百万富翁在年轻时通过一件事深刻地认识到了诚信的重要性，坚守诚信这一原则，他最终获得了成功。
小题1:考查动词短语。go up意为“上升；被兴建”；set up意为“建立；成立”；take up意为“拿起；开始从事”；pick up意为“恢复，拾起”。由下文starting a company可知是Glen归国成立了一家公司，故选B。
小题2:考查动词。Owes亏欠，感恩；mentions提到；brings带来；honors给...以荣誉。owe…to…意为“把……归功于……”。Glen 把自己的成功归功于那次交了“昂贵学费”的经历。故选A。
小题3:考查语境。根据后面的Before leaving可知是他决定回国。decide to do sth.决定做某事， refuse及object都表示“拒绝”，故选C。
小题4:考查名词。买表要用钱，这里指放学后打工挣的积蓄和奖学金得来的钱，不一定是英镑(pound)。所以要用savings，意为“储蓄，存款”，故选D。
小题5:考查形容词。根据上文Glen要回国，当然要经过机场例行的海关检查。所以选routine，意为：例行的；日常的，常规的。ordinary意为“普通的”；regular意为“有规律的”；common意为“常见的”。故选C。
小题6:考查名词。根据上文的check可知是要把手表摘下来检查的，因此用inspection，意为“检查”。故选A。
小题7:考查代词。这里指代的是上文提到的the tax，所以用it。而one泛指可数名词单数；them 及these都是复数形式。故选A。
小题8:考查形容词。既然是假货(fake)，应该是不值钱的，故选worthless意为“不值钱的”。而干扰项priceless则表示“无价的， 极贵重的”。 useful意为“有用的”； valuable意为“贵重的”。故选D。
小题9:考查形容词。根据下文的his “smarts”可知Glen对自己的聪明感到自豪，因为他以为这样就可以逃避税了，所以选proud，意为“自豪的”。故选C。
小题10:考查动词。 spent 花费；paid支付；cost值；took那，取。根据句意表值10万元。故选C。
小题11:考查词组。On hearing his words“一听到他的话”。“on+名词/动名词”表示“一……就”，是固定用法。At后只跟名词。故选B。
小题12:考查形容词。Amazed吃惊的；delighted高兴的；disappointed 失望的；satisfied感到满意的。根据“海关人员当着他的面吧劳力士表砸碎”以及后面“还没明白怎么回事，就被带到了一间办公室”可知Glen很吃惊。故选A。
小题13:考查副词。Strictly严格地；quietly安静地；quickly快速地；curiously好奇地。根据后文Glen因为这件事而上了黑名单可知，海关对他的检查应该是严格地。故选A。
小题14:考查名词。Conditions条件；chances机会；experiments实验；experiences经历。Glen在国外读书并获得学位可知他应该有过很多次的出入境经历。故选D。
小题15:考查动词。Stopped停止；warned警告；urged怂恿；hoped希望。根据该官员仔细检查及后面的according to law可知，该官员语气应该是严厉的，故warn最佳。故选B。
小题16:考查词组。 found out找出；came out出现；sent out发送；set out出发。如果他再次被发现使用假冒伪劣商品，将根据法律受到起诉。Find out 符合warn和according to law的语境。故选A。
小题17:考查动词。Hit打击；charged控告；praised称赞；blamed谴责。既然携带假冒伪劣商品是违法的事情，那么according to law(根据法律)那一定是被起诉（charged）了。故选B。
小题18:考查名词。 Expression表现，表情；idea主意；thought想法；. Impression印象，感想。Make an impression on sb给某人留下了印象，是一个固定短语。故选D。
小题19: 考查名词。Lies谎言；honesty诚实；goods商品；bravery勇气。由于撒谎付出了昂贵的代价，因此Glen体会了诚信的价值，从而导致他取得成功。故选B。:学
小题20:考查名词。 Choice选择； lesson教训；secret秘诀，秘密；belief信仰，信念。他将永远记住这个成功的秘密。故选C。

When Daniel Brooks was a senior at Pioneer High School in the US, he came up with a Silicon Valley-style solution; he developed an iPhone app（application, 应用程序）I C Connector．
When he tried out his school"s new Web-based student information system earlier this year, he immediately noticed some shortcomings．He could no longer view his current grades for all his classes at once．Checking several classes required several clicks-which for a teenager is so much work．To save himself all this trouble, Brooks developed the app and sold it on the Apple app store．Now it has 2,300 users who have downloaded it across the US．
"It ended up on every iPhone and iPad and portable device that any student and teacher had on campus," said Scott Peterson, the campus tech support worker at Pioneer High．
Brooks said he didn"t create the app to get rich - it is free．"A student is not going to want to pay 99 cents," Brooks said．"They just want to see their grades more easily．"
However, in the months that followed, Brooks experienced highs and lows．His app is now so successful that users want more, in particular, his teachers have started pushing him to develop a version for them．However, the company Infinite Campus, which developed the information system, has been less positive．
The company said in an e-mail that he was confusing users and violating the company"s copyright by using Infinite Campus" name and logo in the app’s name．Brooks" father, Michael Brooks, has offered to change the name, but says he needs time to get Apple"s approval．Daniel also e-mailed and called Infinite Campus．They got no response．
Daniel Brooks starts at a California university this autumn．Despite Infinite Campus" attitude, he continues to try to improve the app and hopes to put out an Android version soon．

In May I decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to ideas of how to our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking .
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was if you could keep my mother while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if was completed. When I came Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had stopped hugging teachers years ago.

The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun．He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don"t know the answer, you pay me $5．Then you ask me a question, and if I don"t know the answer, I"ll pay you $5．" Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep．
The programmer, now somewhat anxious, says, "OK, if you don"t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don"t know the answer, I"ll pay you $50!" This catches the engineer"s attention, and he sees no end to this torment（折磨） unless he plays, so he agrees to the game．
The programmer asks the first question．"What"s the distance from the earth to the moon?"" The engineer doesn"t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer．Now, it"s the engineer"s turn．He asks the programmer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?" The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look．He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references．After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50．The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep．The programmer, more than a little angry, shakes the engineer and asks, "Well, so what"s the answer?" Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep．

Life, I believe, asks constant adjustments to reality. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—a potential to live, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would have become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself, I mean: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a new kind of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was out of reach. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.
Thirty hours ago, Jim drove to the baby-sitter’s home to Joshua. It was a trip, like the one he made five days every week. He arrived, and little Joshua could not be from his nap.

That was not a decision for Jim and Connie, a loving and couple.
