阅读理解。     When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look
back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn"t a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no
two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there"s a lot to learn from
how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.
     As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position
share the qualities of commitment, work ethic (守则) and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way - putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or
leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.
     I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur (企业家) from my father, who has
run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business
activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I always had a dream job pattern: to walk to
work, work for myself and build something for consumers.
     I"m only 29, so it"s been a quick ride to CEO．Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product
manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left
Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other colleagues, where I became a CEO.
     Career advice: Don"t figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you"d like to work at.
Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not
what you like doing...and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you"re graduating, don"t stop
learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they"re not, you"re really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. The author hasn"t achieved his childhood ambition.
B. The author thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO.
C. The author had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood.
D. The author believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial to everybody.2. According to the author, successful CEOs should ________.A. try not to take risks
B. stay in the same business
C. have a strong sense of creativity
D. save every possible penny3. What can we know about the author from the passage?A. He started LivingSocial when he was still a student of Georgetown University.
B. His father had far-reaching influence on him.
C. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success.
D. He used to run the consumer product team for AOL.

outside the church,Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.

阅读理解。 I was in a strange city I didn"t know at all, and what"s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked
on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I

the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The

完形填空。     I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
     I was on the wrestling (摔跤) team. Now, if there"s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that
wrestling is probably the sport that has the least   1   .There are only two people out on the mat, so you
cannot   2 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no   3   problem because we
do the whole thing indoors, so you can"t say, "It was raining" or "It was snowing." It makes   4 to say
wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
     On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We
   5   had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy   6   the name of John.
John had never been   7   in any high school wrestling competition that I could
remember,   8 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
     One day, we   9 a match with our biggest opponent (对手). John went out on the mat, and about a
minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular   10 He rolled over, and his opponent   11 him halfway through his roll. He was pinned (压住)   12 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to  13   John by saying, "Oh, he just got lucky." John said, "That"s so stupid. The  14   presented itself, and he just drew upon it."
We used to have this big   15  in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: "Luck is what happens
when opportunity meets   16  ."
John"s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not
  17 and he knew it. But he waited for the  18   opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned
a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real   19   is "Be prepared!" It"s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be
prepared to  20   it.(     )1. A. luck

阅读理解。     In our old neighborhood, neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate
and bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family
roots grew deep, deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past the tiny river town.
    We"d moved to decrease my husband"s distance to work. Only thirty miles.
    After living there for six months, I was ready to move back home. I was lonely without a friend. My
three boys were lonely. My husband, Lonny, seemed okay, but he spent his days at work.
    Lonny noticed my sinking disposition.
     "Shawnelle, you look unapproachable," he said. He and I were sitting in lawn chairs. Samuel, our
three-year-old son sat in his own little chair.
    "What do you mean?"  "Body language. You placed our chairs fifteen yards away from everyone
else."
     "It doesn"t matter. I"m not going to have friends here." Just then Samuel looked up. "Mom"s right,
Dad. And we just want to go home."
     That"s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn"t want my boys to learn that the way to work
through a tough time was to use a wounded and bitter attitude.
     Over the next few months I smiled when I didn"t feel like it. We signed up for reading programs at the
library and often visited parks and the bike path along the river.
     One afternoon Samuel and I climbed up the stairs to the library activity room. A woman who I hadn"t
seen before sat at a long table with a tiny boy.
     "Hi," she said. "I"m Tammy. Do you need a seat? There"s one right here."
    I sat down next to Tammy. Soon class was over, and we still had a lot to say. "Why don"t you come
over later?" Tammy asked. "I live on a farm. There"s plenty of room for the kids to run." We went. And
since that day, we"ve been back a million times.
      When I look back, I"m grateful for that tough time. I learned to persevere. I"m glad I didn"t give up.
      And as for my boys, they learned a lesson too. "Keep moving forward," is what I tell them. "Your
heart will follow."1. Why did the writer move to a new neighborhood?A. To find a part-time job in the library.
B. To make new friends with the local people.
C. To enjoy the beauty of the Mississippi River.
D. To make her husband go to work conveniently.2. Shawnelle decided to keep going when ________.A. Tammy encouraged her to join conversations

B. Tammy was rich to have room for kids
C. her family had finally fitted in the new place
D. Tammy"s farm was suitable for kids to play on4. What lesson did Shawnelle teach her kids? A. Have a dream in difficult times.
B. Never break up with old friends.
C. Be careful in making friends.
D. Keep up in a tough time.5. What does the underlined word disposition in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A. mood
