It was the break time, and the students was playing on the playground. Jack was playing the basketball with a group of boys while Lily told him that the headmaster wanted to see him.

Here's one very simple but lifechanging piece of advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.

If you're a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.

This applies to all fields, not just the work-related ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.

One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that's about 260 hours a year. That's a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.

If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life. Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more chances in your life.

Now, you might think something like this:

1. I really don't have the money...

Answer: Visit your public library or search the database. Or look for books that are used in places like amazon.com.

2. I really don't have the time...

Answer: Buy audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work. Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike /bus to work or school. Recently selling audiobooks through MP3-downloads has become popular...

Shut off the TV a little earlier and start reading.

1.What is Brian Tracy's lifechanging advice about?

A. Watching TV.

B. Listening to MP3.

C. Surfing the internet.

D. Reading helpful books.

2.Which is NOT true about reading an hour a day?

A. It will open up your mind.

B. You will have about 260 hours a year to read.

C. You will read lots of books and get much useful advice.

D. It will probably bring great things and feelings into your life.

3.What should you do if you really don't have the money to read?

A. To buy some books from amazon.com.

B. To download MP3 free.

C. To visit the public library.

D. To borrow audiobooks and listen to them.

4.What is the writer's idea about audiobooks?

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.

1.To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as______.

A. a waste of money B. a waste of time

C. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity

2.The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _______ of clothing.

A. cost B. appearance

C. comfort D. suitability

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.

B. The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.

C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.

D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

4.By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" the writer means that ______.

A. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at

B. women are better able to put up with discomfort

C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

D. men are more stable and reliable in character

Most of us have read Cinderella, which is a story about a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默無聞).

Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.

Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”

1.The first paragraph is mainly to _________.

A. inform us of the importance to marry a prince

B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years

C. build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream

D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is

2.What does Amber Wilkinson mean by his words?

A. The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairytale.

B. The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.

C. The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream.

D. The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different from it.

3.The passage is _________.

A. an introduction to Mary Santiago

B. an advertisement of a film

C. a story about following a dream

D. a film review

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.

B. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.

C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.

D. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.

Today was my high school reunion. I was the most remarkable student for all the wrong reasons. I was born with some birth defects and learning disabilities. I overcame them, but it was hard. While working blue-collar jobs, I lived in my car for a few years.

On a cold winter night several years ago, I met Dr. X in the emergency room. He was a former classmate of mine, and we pretended not to know one another. He discovered I was living in my car and heard some of my stories. Then he arranged for me to be admitted to the hospital for a day so I could get warmed up and recover. When I left the hospital, I found a $100 bill in the gas tank door of my van (拖車). I’m sure it was from him.

I now have a home of my own and I'm doing OK, considering everything. When I sent my reservation and check to the reunion committee, it was returned uncashed with a $50 bill along with a note saying “Please don't come.”

I guess my classmates are more closed-minded than I thought they would be. I was hoping age would change them but my wish turned out to be nothing but a joke. In addition to the reservation return, I have also seen a few forwarded emails mocking my attempts to find out about the event. I hope none of those people were blessed with a child with learning or physical issues.

I guess people never change on some things. Thankfully, I have found nicer, caring people along my journey in life, and for that I'd like to thank all of the kind people in the world.

1.What made the author the most remarkable student?

A. Living in his own car.

B. His physical problems.

C. Providing wrong reasons.

D. His efforts to help others.

2.What can we infer from the 2nd paragraph?

A. Dr. X sent a van to the author as a gift.

B. The author was cured by Dr. X that night.

C. The author and Dr. X didn’t recognize each other at first.

D. The author and Dr. X felt embarrassed at first that night.

3.What might be the key barrier to the author’s reservation?

A. His experience in the hospital.

B. The closed mind of his classmates.

C. His uncashed check.

D. The location of the reunion.

4.What does the underlined word “mocking” (paragraph 3) refer to?

A. laughing at B. insisting on

C. caring for D. giving away
