     I began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother"s idea. She wanted me
to "make something" of myself,  and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of
keeping up with the competition.
     With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were
two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible,
making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY
EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
     "How many did you sell,  my boy?" My mother asked.
     "None."
     "Where did you go?"
     "The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
     "What did you do?"
     "Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post."
     "You just stood there?"
     "Didn"t sell a single one."
     "My God, Russell!"
     Uncle Allen put in, "Well,  I"ve decided to take the Post." I handed him a copy and he paid me a
nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.
     Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address
adults with selfconfidence(自信),  and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor,
could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
     One day, I told my mother I"d changed my mind. I didn"t want to make a success in the magazine
business.
     "If you think you can change your mind like this," she replied, "you"ll become a goodfornothing." She
insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever
I said no, she would scold me.
     My mother and I had fought this_battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother,  dissatisfied
with my father"s plain workman"s life,  determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But
never did she expect that,  forty years later,  such a successful journalist as me would go back to her
husband"s people for true life and love.

D. The competition for the job was fierce.

2. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was________.

3. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?

     A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and loved the
boy very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine
bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and put it back into the
cupboard in the bathroom. However, his wife, busy, in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
     The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle, fascinated by its color and drank it all. It
happened to contain a kind of medicine for adults with poisonous and side effects. When the child broke
down,the mother hurried him to the hospital. But he finally died. The mother was shocked. She was
terrified how she was going to face her husband.
     When the desperate father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and
voiced five words. The husband just said "I am with you, Darling." The husband"s totally unexpected
reaction is a positive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would
not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that
moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
     If everyone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the
world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things
are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom
to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some
warmth in human relationship.

1. The uncapped medicine bottle was not put back into the cupboard because ________.

A. the husband was careless
B. the husband was busy
C. the wife wasn"t informed of the matter
D. the wife ignored the matter

2. What do we know about the bottle?

A. It contained poison only for adults.
B. It appeared like a nice drink.
C. It was broken by the child.
D. It was kept in the kitchen.

3. The husband"s attitude towards his wife can be described as ________.

A. optimistic
B. confident
C. considerate
D. generous

4. What did the writer intend to tell us about life?

A. Let go the negative side and we can enjoy life.
B. It is always useless finding who is responsible.
C. Think of nothing and life will be easy.
D. Life should give way to responsibility.

Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn"t think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, but I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn"t even write them down!" These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and he is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student can"t write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students. Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test. An expert at the University of California explains. "With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great."
1. To "blank out" in the first paragraph is probably______.
A. to be like a blanket B. to be unsure of an answer C. to show wrong knowledge to the teacher D. to be unable to think clearly
2. Poor grades are usually the result of _______.
A. poor hygienic habits B. laziness C. lack of sleep D. inability to form good study habits
3. To deal with this problem, students say they want to ______.
A. take a short course on anxiety B. read about anxiety and know how to deal with it C. be able to manage or understand their anxiety D. take tests to prove they are not anxious
4. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program B. most of the students felt relaxed after taking a University of California counseling course C. students found it difficult to improve even if they had taken a special test anxiety course
