Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to1about the noise. I could do2about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in3.
Still4,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many5to complain.
Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had6the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to 7every situation carefully.
I tried to walk in8to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called9came to the door with a complaint, no matter how unreasonable, I simply listened. From their confused expressions, I could imagine that they had never expected to get a10attitude from me.
Of course, it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I11. I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and12them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt ________in their lives because they are common people.________ , they were always looking for a15to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their16.On more than one occasion(不止一次), I ended up17them. They thanked me before they left.
Unexpectedly, the next time I saw them, they all smiled and18friendly. We had a short but pleasant19. Ever since then, they’ve been very pleasant neighbors, and we’ve become good20.

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven ye ars old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.

I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.

After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea (杜鵑花) bushes strewn around the orphanage.

I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.

Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo (用"噓"聲趕走,嚇走)them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

1. According to the passage, how did the author find the orphanage?

A. A favorable place to live.                B. A bad place to live.

C. A comfortable place for butterflies.  D. A favorable place for the old.

2. How did the people go to their meals?

A. By car.              B. On foot.            C. Queuing in two ways.              D. Any way they wanted.

3. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. I love everything of beauty when I was old.

B. The people in the orphanage stand in line doing everything.

C. The azalea bushes were planted by the people living in the orphanage.

D. I shooed the butterflies away because I didn’t want them to be killed.

4. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

A. I love beauty when I was about six or seven years old.

B. I became old very soon in the orphanage.

C. I had a very pleasant time in the orphanage.

D. I was tired with the life the way I lived in the orphanage.

5. What does the author think of the house parent?

A. Pitiless.             B. Kind.                C. Lovable.                          D. Beautiful.

Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead.But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that---dreams.

The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of 1,276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 59.78 percent of respondents considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store.“But they just stop at the‘thinking’stage,” it stated.

Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of business opportunity.They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the need to advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.

More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.

Guo Bing, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he wanted to be his own boss last year.But he is looking for a job first.“If I fail to find a satisfying job, I would like to establish a company in exhibition services,” Guo said.The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant.With their help, Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures(小冊子) at a relatively low price.He is also confident that his English language skills can help him do well in the industry.

“Social networking is an important factor leading to business success,” Guo said.

Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.

Jiang Ye, deputy director of Yangpu District Business Guide Center, said the universitysets up a business guide team made of government officials and professionals.They

regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business.

The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone, the survey showed."Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo added.

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the race with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus left rive minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!

It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad mews from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A. doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation dose it in a caring way A. boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready ye? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轟炸的) person is sure to have .

1.In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to    .

A. make a comparison B. introduce a topic  C. describe a scene  D. offer an argument

2.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was _____________.

A. friendly  B. warm-hearted  C. not considerate   D. not helpful

3.From “Dreams of head-cutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer    .

A. was mad at the sales agent.

B. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh

C. wished that the sales agent would have had dreams.

D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.

B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.

C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.

D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.
