【題目】My first job was working for a women’s clothes manufacturer at the age of 15. It made me realize what I didn’t want to do for my future employment.
The only advantage of this job was receiving a wage at the end of the week and sometimes getting clothes for free if they were to my taste. I carried on doing this for only a year, as my studies at school were getting more serious and I wanted to study more to get the right grades.
After I had finished college, my first real job was working for a play publisher in central London. I remember writing a letter of application for the post of administration for Samuel French Limited. I had put so much effort into writing it, not realizing that this would be my first step in the process of finding out what I really wanted to do for my future employment. I didn’t think I would get the job, but as it turned out, I got a telephone call quickly and started a week later. I remember being excited that I would be working for a publisher in London. Although I had thought I would prefer to work for a book publisher, a play publisher was just as enjoyable.
Looking back now, not all first jobs turn out to be enjoyable. Some of my friends worked in supermarkets while they were at college just to earn a bit of money. I remember thinking how much happier I felt working in a clothes factory than in a supermarket.
Years later, I can see how good it is to experience work at an early age, as it gives people the opportunity to decide what kind of career will be most suitable for them one day. The boring task of a job will make a person want to pursue an education to get into the right type of employment, which was what I had realized in the end.

A.the clothes made there didn’t suit her taste
B.she really didn’t like such a boring job
C.she wanted to get the right grades at school
D.she didn’t get well paid at the end of the week
【2】What can we learn about the author in the third paragraph?
A.She was confident that she could get the first job.
B.She telephoned Samuel French Limited for a post.
C.She was aware of the importance of writing the application letter.
D.She used to think she would prefer to work for a book publisher.
【3】It could be inferred from the text that the author _______.
A.took her first job in order to support her poor family
B.realized what her first job meant to her future employment
C.had a great interest in her first job in a clothes factory
D.thought her friends’ job in supermarkets was more interesting
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.My Experience in a Clothes Factory
B.The Qualities of a Play Publisher
C.Importance of Early Work Experience
D.The Secrets to Get the Right Grades
【答案】
【1】D
【2】D

【4】C

【題目】(2010湖北八校聯(lián)考)
Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot,they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song Mood Indigo about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: "You ain't been blue till you've had that Mood Indigo." Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time,some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
【1】 If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it ______ .
A. a white day B. a black day
C. a red day D. a green day
【2】 Suppose a Mr. Brown says he is very happy because his three children* are all in the pink, this means all his children are ______ .
A. lucky and wealthy

【題目】Making friends can be difficult, especially these days with so many peer pressures. If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends,become genuinely(真正地) interested in other people and show kindness. You may be wearing the latest designer label clothes,the hottest brand shoes and the coolest jewelry, but if you display sourness and selfishness you’ll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.
Smile...smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever;it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought,begged or borrowed,it comes from the heart. If you want other people to like you, make the other persons feel important, and do it sincerely!
Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take drugs, steal,gamble, fight etc...dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends,especially honest, good and upright friends.
Being mentally strong is not always easy but let me assure you that the more you practise it, the easier it becomes. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you,talk like you and be with you because you have a personality which is different. People like being different! By being an individual with your own personality you can achieve the very best experiences in your life. You may not ever have many friends but let me tell you that it is better to have one good friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab you in the back at the very first opportunity that arises.
【1】What prevents your from making good friends according to Paragraph 1? ( within 3words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
【2】How do you make other people like you according to Paragraph 2? (within 6 words)
