What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual（虛擬的）company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction（拍賣）a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
“We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work，” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.
Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues（同事）used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations （PR）, sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
“They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently（高效地） as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.
“It makes the company more formal，” she said.
小題1:The purpose of opening the company is to         .
A．earn money for their education fees.
B．spread love and culture with seeds.
C．see whether they can open a company.
D．collect money to open a Hope School.
小題2:According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?
A．Communication skills and teamwork 。
B．Creative and critical thinking.
C．Educational back ground.
D．Business theories.
小題3:What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph)  refer to?
A．Selling seeds.
B．CEO.
C．Every colleague's knowledge.
D．To make her colleagues work efficiently.
小題4:We can learn from the passage that____.
A．the company is owned by 20 students.
B．the company is over-night successful.
C．the company sells fresh flowers and old books
D．the company gets much help from other company selling seeds.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke（喚起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions(認(rèn)識(shí)) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won't get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
46. 小題1:By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.
A．she uses English in foreign tradeB．she is fascinated by languages
C．she works as a translatorD．she is a writer by profession
47. 小題2:The author used to think of her mother's English as ______.
A．impoliteB．a(chǎn)musingC．imperfectD．practical
48. 小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A．Americans do not understand broken English.
B．The author's mother was not respected sometimes.
C．The author' mother had positive influence on her.
D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
49. 小題4:The author gradually realizes her mother's English is _____.
A．well structuredB．in the old style
C．easy to translateD．rich in meaning
50. 小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．The changes of the author's attitude to her mother's English.
B．The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.
C．The author's misunderstanding of "limited" English.
D．The author's experiences of using broken English.

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept．11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．
On Dec．11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail（訛詐）by terrorists．
Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent．“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept．11, then you’re disposable．They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said．
If Sept．11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely．Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation（驅(qū)逐出境）．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s．
小題1:How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?
A．GuiltyB．OffendedC．DisappointedD．Discouraged
小題2:Undocumented workers became the target of “Operation Safe Travel” because ____．
A．evidence was found that they were potential terrorists
B．most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorists
C．terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status
D．they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport
小題3:By saying “…we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are”, Mayor Anderson means “______”．
A．there are other ways of enforcing the law
B．we will examine the laws in a different way
C．we will turn a blind eye to your illegal status
D．the existing laws must not be ignored
