John and Booby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted(提升)Bobby to the position of manager but John remained an ordinary employee(雇员). John could not take it any more, so he sent his resignation(辞职信) and complained that the boss did not value(重视)hard working workers but only promoted those who said good words of him. The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought for a moment and said, “Thank you for telling me, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind and take back your resignation.” John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelons in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelons. The boss asked how much per kg, John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to tell the boss $1.2 per kg. The boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. Bobby went, returned and said only one person sold watermelons. $1.2 for a kg, $10 for 10kg and his watermelons added up to 340. On the table 58 melons, every melon weighs about 2 kg, bought from the south two days ago and they were fresh, red and good quality. John was surprised and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to go away but to learn from Bobby. The story tells us that a more successful person is more concerned and thinks more. Chances are there in the daily details. For the same thing, a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, how could you win? 小题1:John wanted to stop his job in his company because_________.A.Bobby was promoted but he was not | B.he didn’t want to say good words of his boss | C.he thought the boss didn’t take his hard work seriously | D.he didn’t want to be an ordinary employee | 小题2:The boss asked John to find out where watermelons were sold in order to _________.A.persuade him to stay in the company | B.prove he was a hardworking worker | C.buy some watermelons for the company | D.prove his abilities at work for himself | 小题3:From what Bobby did, we can see that he was promoted only because _________.A.he was a more concerned businessman | B.he knew how to do business | C.he was more experienced at work | D.he knew details about the watermelon market | 小题4:We can conclude from the story that _________.A.one should stop his job if the boss doesn’t think much of his work | B.it’s necessary to know the market when you buy a watermelon | C.detail plays a very important part in one’s success | D.one should get along well with his boss if he wants to be promoted | 小题5:What can be the best title of the passage?A.More Concerned, More Successful | B.How to Buy Watermelons | C.Who Is More Successful | D.Proud John |

Alexis was hot and tired. With rage in her voice she shouted, "Pull me up!I give up, I hate this. This is stupid!" It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said, "Ed, I"m going to go down and talk with her." I then shouted down to Alexis, "Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!" Jason grasped another rope, put his climbing harness(系带)on and began to repel down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted outward. Jason said to Alexis, "I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But , Alexis, you are strong, look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff. Look Alexis, look at the path you have taken." At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used on her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis" eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are not alone out here, there are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she shook her head yes and took a deep breath. 小题1:Jason went down the cliff because _________.A.Alexis took a wrong path | B.Alexis was trapped in rocks | C.Alexis didn"t believe in herself | D.Alexis" forearms were badly hurt | 小题2:We can infer from the passage that ________.A.Alexis was finally pulled up by Ed | B.Alexis regretted having taken the wrong path up the cliff | C.Alexis was immediately sent to hospital after she was pulled up | D.Alexis successfully rock climbed | 小题3:The underlined word "hot" in the story means _________.A.disappointed | B.angry | C.uncomfortable | D.running a high body temperature | 小题4:Alexis would probably become _________.A.more strong-minded | B.easier to give up | C.poorer in health | D.less interested in rock climbing |

Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College, Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train.It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before. College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I"m feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don"t begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted. It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don"t know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I"ve never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind. Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful. But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn"t you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line. I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it"s a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls. I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that"s rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that"s rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won"t stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I"ve decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won"t mind. It"s just a private pet name we won"t tell Mrs. Lippett. The ten o"clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It"s very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night. Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home. Yours most respectfully, Jerusha Abbott to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith 小题1:Jerusha felt “confused” because ______.A.she had never written to the trustee before | B.she was not familiar with the college yet | C.she could never find the way to her home | D.she had never traveled on a train berore | 小题2:Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because _______.A.he was a total stranger to her | B.she was sure it was a false identity | C.the name was too common | D.nobody would like to be called that name | 小题3:The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel______.A.busy | B.restricted by rules | C.pressed for time | D.full of energy | 小题4:Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs______.A.in order to show her respect for him | B.because it was one of his inner quality | C.in older to make them feel closer to each other | D.because she had always wanted a father |
