and doctors. But if you think about it, many people don"t plan to do their jobs. They just start doing
them by accident. We have talked to two people with unusual jobs.
Emily is a dentist (牙医) but she doesn"t work with people. She works with horses. After university
she took care of animal"s health for several years, but she noticed that there were few people who could
help horses" teeth. She decided to go to college and study again. Then she had to buy special tools, but
she is never out of work. She"s always very busy taking care of horses" teeth. "I couldn"t be a dentist for
people now," Emily said, "because I really enjoy working with horses."
As soon as David could read, he read books about robots, but the robots he built today don"t look
like the strange robot people in his books. He builds robots for industry. Early one morning he made up
his mind to study maths, science and computers so that he could break into the world of robot engineering. "Some of the maths is very difficult," says David, "but you must study maths to be an engineer." Fortunately he got top marks in all his math exams.

| I wear what I feel is comfortable and convenient. Decades ago, my 10-year-old Italian nephew asked me for jeans from Canada when I visited. Upon seeing them, he claimed they were not Levis. "What does Levis mean?" I asked naively. Later, I was preparing to come to China when my Sichuan friend ordered jeans for her daughter. "You mean Levis, I guess?" "No, Benetton," she said. Living in China I realize the effect brands have on people here. Once I bought a pair of sandals because I needed sandals. Many people told me, "Wow! You wear them? You have money!" I didn"t know why they thought 150-yuan ($22) sandals were for wealthy people. I had never heard that brand name (which I can"t remember) before. While visiting my family in Canada, we were talking about fake products(假冒商品) in China. As a writer, I don"t accept that readers pirate(盗版) my books and I would consider myself a thief if I ever buy them. A young relative asked, "What about your purse?" "What"s the problem with my purse?" I countered. "It"s a Yves Saint-Laurent; do you mean you paid the full price?" "How can you think I bought a YSL? I bought it because of size, color and price." She picked up the purse and pointed to the steel YSL on it. Believe it or not, I had not noticed it till then. When Pearl Market used to sell watches, I happened to need one and went there for the large choice they offered. What I wanted was a watch to see the time, I insisted. They had no Chinese brands, only Cartier, Citizen, Seiko, Rolex. Having refused several ming pai copies, I was leaving without buying when I saw a black one. "Diesel, what a strange name for a watch," I thought. Wasn"t diesel something that went into a gas tank? The business deal went quickly; I offered 35 yuan and left with the watch. | |||
| 1. What"s the author"s attitude towards fake products? | |||
| A. He thinks they are of good quality. B. He supports fake products. C. He believes they are symbols of status. D. He is strongly against fake products. | |||
| 2. Why did the author go to Pearl Market to buy a watch? | |||
| A. Because the watches here were cheaper. B. Because there were many famous brands. C. Because he might make a better choice here. D. Because he wanted to buy a fake watch. | |||
| 3. What point does the author want to make in the passage? | |||
| A. Brands don"t always tell the truth. B. Fake products should be banned. C. Following fashion makes much sense. D. True beauty comes from one"s actions. | |||

| The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: "Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you"d be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go." Alfred"s face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, "Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I"m going to have to put you in prison." Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. "Hello, I"m Alfred"s mother. Is he in trouble?" she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred"s mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. "Of course", he said, "I don"t want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads." And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins"s hand. Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, "You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed." In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother"s strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother"s face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother. | |||
| 1. The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that ______. | |||
| A. he found Alfred was in fact innocent B. he should have called a policeman in first C. Alfred"s mother appeared polite and gentle D. he thought he was partly responsible for it | |||
| 2. Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr? | |||
| A. "Please, for God"s sake, you know, he is just a kid." B. "I can"t believe it! You are treating my son like that!" C. "You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up." D. "Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law." | |||
| 3. What does the underlined phrase "his mother"s strength"(Para. 3) refer to? | |||
| A. Mrs. Higgins"s calmness and communicating skills. B. Mrs. Higgins"s attitude towards parental sufferings. C. Mrs. Higgins"s love and care for her son Alfred. D. Mrs. Higgins"s greatness as a woman. | |||
| 4. After the incident, young Alfred would probably _____. | |||
| A. feel ashamed of his mother B. change his attitude towards life C. learn to live an independent life D. hate Mr. Carr for hurting his mother | |||
