【題目】 Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)

Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture stores all over the country. The new store, in London's Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began.

When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn't leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her.

To begin with, I didn't have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I didn't get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.

Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn't have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I spent my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them.

One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some money to buy some wax () to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too.

At the age of 22,my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I've never looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from designer furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course. .

5依據(jù)短文中最后一段“At the age of 22my uncle helped me to open my first shop in Portobello Road by lending me some money.”可知,是Kyra的叔叔借給她錢,幫助她開了第一個家居店。故答案為He helped her by lending her some money

6根據(jù)文意,Kyra Komac通過學(xué)會制作蠟燭以及自己的努力,成功開始了自己的事業(yè),并且事業(yè)越來越好。故事告訴我們,一個人要想成功必須有自己的想法并且不懈努力,夢想終有一天會實現(xiàn)。故答案為I think it’s great/. if a person want to succeed, he or she must have his/her own idea and work hard to make it come true. (答案不唯一)

【題目】 Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.

Some Americans are poor at speaking foreign languages. It’s a fact. In any city around the world, you can find American tourists asking for the restaurant menu in English. At best, they will try to say a couple of phrases they ______ from a phrase book, but they will stop making an effort the moment they discover the waiter knows a little English.

I read a survey once that found that only 20 percent of Americans could speak a language other than English in their own homes. So ______ is this? I think laziness is possibly the key factor(因素). There is a general feeling among Americans that “Everyone speaks English nowadays, so it’s not worth learning other languages.” In multinational companies(跨國公司), English is often the official language of communication within the company. ______, Americans who live abroad can always find other American people to talk to or to watch American TV with – all reasons for never bothering to learn the local language.

The situation in American schools doesn’t help. In 1997, about 75 percent of American public middle schools offered foreign languages. Today, that number has ______ to 58 percent. And even the few students who study foreign languages at school don’t spend as many ______ of classes as students in other countries. I think it is also a ______ that American children don’t study English grammar any more, which makes it more difficult for them to learn the grammar of another language.

【題目】閱讀短文,下列問題
B
Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than the person who has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight.This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加體重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
(1)During the test, the people were given _______.
A.no breakfast at all

D.little food for breakfast

【題目】下面文章中有5處需添加小標題。請從A、B、C、D、E和F中選出符合各段意思的小標題。選項中有一項是多余選項。

A. What if you win.
B. Life won't be the same without you.
C. Life isn't no crystal stair.
D. There is a rainbow after every storm.
E. Focus on the future.
F. To give up is to live a meaningless life

The life has been full of challenges and difficulties. Life is not about the smartest person or the strongest person, or even the richest person. However, Life is about having the mind in your heart “Never Give Up”, even when you feel that giving up is the only choice. The world is waiting on your gifts.

You are important to this world and believe it or not, someone is waiting for you to enrich their lives. You are too important to the world to just give up.

You may feel that life is challenging you from time to time and you can't take it anymore. You may want to give up right now. But here is a thought, what will happen if you overcome the difficulties?

When an Olympic runner is in a race, he or she is focusing on one thing—the finishing line. You have to focus on the big picture—not just where you are right now. Focus in where you want to be. Make an agreement with your mind and your mouth.

One of my favorite poems is called “Crystal Stair ” written by Langston Hughes. In that poem, a mother tells her son that life is tough, you will meet rocks and hard places, but the end is victory to those who stand their ground and ride the course.

Whatever you are facing, you can make it through. There is a rainbow on the other side of your situation. Stay strong, stay focused and never give up.
