his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson
and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so
realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum,
which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly
covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale
found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most
popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New
York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives
of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of
many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted
mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter
Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.

sure I had enough to drink and went to the toilet (厕所) about three times 5 we left. I thought I was

from the seat next to mine.
How 10 ! My parents were really starting to get on my nerves. To satisfy them I sped up and
within a second, an angry voice began to yell again. "Stop! 11 ! Are you crazy? " Everything did not go
fine until I pulled off the motorway and drove into the city, 12 the speed limit was only 50km/h.
My family seemed relieved (放心的) and 13 telling me what to do. They all looked out of the
windows and enjoyed the scenery. 14 , that silence didn"t last very long. My mum suddenly cried out,
"Look at those birds above us. 15 they lovely?"
How did she expect me to look up in the 16 ? As the driver I had to 17 . Who knows what

well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there"s uncertainty as they enter one
of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted(新兴的) degree in religious
studies, but no job prospects.
"You look at everybody"s parents and neighbors, and they"re getting laid off and don"t have jobs,"
said Stewart. "Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it"s just scary."
When the class of 2003 entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years
they"ve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically.
"Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top
dollar with lots of benefits," said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. "Times
have changed. It"s a new market."
Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a
crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after
college have done their homework.
"The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They"ve
postured(定位)themselves well during the summer. They"ve had several internships(实习)," she said.
And they"ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or
nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like
information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in
starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. "I"d like
to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,"
he said.
To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its
value will increase over time.
B. jobs related to high-technology
C. a company making dots
D. teaching on the Internet
B. They have gone to summer school for further studies.
C. They are good students who have finished their homework on time.
D. They have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation.
B. find jobs for students while they are in school
C. prepare students to find jobs after they graduate
D. help high school students get accepted to college
B. become a religious leader
C. get a job teaching
D. go back to school
B. A college degree doesn"t promise a person a high-paid job.
C. Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs.
D. The best way to get rich is to get a college degree.
It was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson"s
imagination. 1 , recent research has found the true story of this exciting work.
Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 2 for many years. In 1881 he returned to Scotland for a 3 .
With him were his American wife and his son 4 . Each morning Stevenson would take them out for a
long 5 over the hills. They had been 6 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a
turn fro the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd felt the days 7 . To keep the boy happy,
Robert asked the boy to do some 8 .
One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert 9 that the boy had
drawn a large cross in the middle of 10 ."What is that?" he asked. " That"s the 11 treasure ,"said the
boy.
Robert suddenly 12 something of an adventure story in the boy"s 13 .While the rain was pouring,
Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 14 a twelve-year-old boy, just like
Lloyd. But who would be the pirate (海盗) ? Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked
around with the 15 of a wooden leg. Robert had always wanted to 16 such a man in a story . 17
Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was 18 .
So, thanks to a 19 September in Scotland, a friend with a wooden leg, and the imagination of a
twelve-year-old boy, we have one of the greatest 20 stories in the English language.

a million miles away. Hey. stop! This is no vacation - you have to finish something!
Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim. "I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things."
Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere-in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one
of her three books The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexico"s Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada. she
took a test for Frommer"s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer"s, Jarolim
worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor"s, where she fell so in love with a description
of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent
completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it"s great to
write about a tourist attraction, but you"d better get the local (当地的) museum hours correct or you
could really ruin someone"s vacation.
B. The U.K
C. The U.S.
D. Canada
B. Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
C. Finishing her work as soon as possible.
D. Passing a test to write travel guides
B. She finds her life full of stresses.
C. She spends half of her time traveling.
D. She is especially interested in museums.
B. Working as a Food Critic
C. Travel Guides on the Market
D. Vacationing for a Living
is it?" I 1 . I turned it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled (手写的) address. Immediately
my mind traveled 2 many years.
I was nine years old, walking down the cold, wet streets of Springfield, with a bag of 3 on my
shoulder. On my rounds that day, I came to that company finally, whose owner, Mr Rader, had always
taken me there to ask his workers 4 they wanted any magazines.
Shaking off the 5 like a wet dog, I entered Mr. Rader"s office. After a quick glance he 6 me
over to the fire-place. Noticing the 7 in the top of my 8 , he said, "Come with me!" pulling me
into his pickup truck. We pulled to a stop before a shoe store. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the
finest pair of shoes I had 9 seen. I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up 10 them. "We"d like a pair
of new socks too," Mr. Rader said.
Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a 11 , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With
12 eyes, I read, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." He said affectionately, "Jimmy, I
want you to 13 I love you".
I said good-bye, and for the first time I sensed a flicker of hope that somehow things would be
14 . With people like Mr. Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love that would always
make a 15 .
