10．I like this job，in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards．I also think my work is important．There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career．
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork．In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer．I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career．
I then found myself a job．Looking after two little girls，it wasn't too bad at first．But the problems began when I agreed to live in，so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening．We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she'd give me time off the next．But unfortunately，it didn't often work out．I was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children．
One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with me，I told her about my situation．She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children．I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school．She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful．My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course．I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten．
Now I've got a full-time job there．I shall always be thankful to Megan．Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you aren't top of the class at school．
21．When staying with the two girls'family，the authorC．
A．got much help from her boss         
B．was paid for extra work
C．often worked long hours

B．She decided to attend a part-time course．
C．She was fed up with children．

23．What has the author learned from her own experiences？C

B．Hard work makes an excellent student．
C．Less successful students can still have a career．
D．Qualifications are necessary for a career．

分析 本文講述了學(xué)習(xí)成績不是很好的作者通過自己的努力也得到了自己滿意的事業(yè)的過程．

解答 21-23 CBC
21．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題 有第三段最后一句…because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children．可知，作者經(jīng)常工作很長時間，故答案為C
22．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由第四段最后兩句…I got on a part-time course．I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten．可知，作者學(xué)習(xí)了一門業(yè)余課程，不得不辭掉第一份工作，故答案為B
23．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由最后一段最后一句 Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you aren't top of the class at school．可知，作者從自己的經(jīng)歷中總結(jié)出：即使上學(xué)時不是班里成績突出的學(xué)生也會擁有一份職業(yè)．

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

A kind father lost about 57 kg in just six months after being shamed dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods. But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realized he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter, Sophie, who had a passion for running.

The determined dad cut out all the fatty foods he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weights 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris, who lives in Shepreth. Cambridgeshire with his wife Jackie. 51, a coach driver, said: “The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for lost time---we do so much together and it is just great.”

Chris used to consume an incredible 5,000 calories a day, before he switched to healthy lifestyle. On average he would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a mid morning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry(咖啡) and, ice cream, and also drink four pints of beer very quickly, before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.

Amazingly Chris claims he still eats the same amount---but has simply cut out the unhealthy fatty foods. Chris said: “'My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it’s them I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight.” Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96 kg.

1.Why did Chris Willis lose weight?(no more than 10 words)

2.What does the underlined word ”demolish” mean?(1 word)

3.What measures did Chris take to lose weight? (no more than 10 words)

1．It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken．In Apple's case，developers can also obtain the location information for each photo．
Senator（參議員） Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday．
"We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information，"Mr．Schumer said．"They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed．"
On Sunday，Mr．Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light．Claudia Bourne Farrell，an F．T．C．spokeswoman，said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further．
"It worries people to think that one's personal photos，address book，and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission，"Mr．Schumer wrote in his letter to the F．T．C．"If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion，then surely technology exists to close it，and that's exactly what must happen．"
Mr．Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem，then he would be forced to take the issue further．
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues．"I'm optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation，"he said．"If it's not changed，then we'll turn to the F．T．C．，and if that doesn't work then we'll consider legislative approach．"
The F．T．C．has warned companies to try to be more vigilant（警醒的） in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy．

8．The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and GoogleA．
A．to urge them not to invade consumers'privacy．
B．to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information．
C．to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos．

18．The Hunan Satellite TV（HNTV） show"Where are we going，Dad？"is a big hit．Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone，and they had to spend 72hours with their children there．The program fully showed us a modern version of the"how to be a good father"．As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children，this new form of"Lost on the way"played by nanny Daddy and cute kids caused a lot of people's emotional resonance（共鳴）．Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer．But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children．
The TV shows like"Children are hard to support!"，"Where are we going，Dad？"，"hot mom"and"cute kids"are becoming more and more popular．All of these show the new parents'confusion in children's education and the appeal for the balance between career and family．
In real life，on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life； on the other hand they continue to do so．The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female，among whom 36% are aged from 25to 34．We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children，while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing，or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom．The story of a child without the company of father is still going on．In fact，it is sometimes the same to mothers．In a modern family，it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child．The participation of mother in the children's education is also very low．
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education，and where the parents will guide their children to go that"Where are we going，Dad？"shows us．If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit，it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher．Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot．The truth is that children will go where their parents go； and society will go where the children go．

67．What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second passage？A
A．worried       B．favorable  C．optimistic      D．proud
68．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？B
A.36% of the audience of the program are male aged from 25-34．
B．Parents shouldn't entirely leave the education of children to the old．
C．In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child．
D．The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play．
69．In raising a child in modern society，parents shouldB．
A．play computer games with their children
B．balance well between family and career
C．keep their children at home to avoid socializing
D．break down the barrier between children and teachers
70．Which one is the best title of the passage？C
A．Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids
B．Modern Education is Important
C．Confusion Behind"Where are we going，dad？"
D．New problems in Modern Children's Education．

5．It was a week before Christmas，but things were far from cheery．Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in Camden，New Jersey．There were no Christmas carolers（唱頌歌的人） walking in these streets that were lined with boarded-up（用木板封住的） houses and broken windows．Mothers kept their children close as they hurried down in the streets．It was mid-afternoon，but the bright sun couldn't warm the place．
Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit．Our white truck stopped in front of one house and our group knocked on the door．Our arms were filled with ham，bread and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner．Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhausted mom answered the door．She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown（睡衣） with undone hair．She was in her late-20s，but her rough skin and tired eyes added years．
"Sacred Heart food deliver service，"I smiled．"Where can we put this for you？"
She pointed to a place and as we entered the house，I noticed the conditions of the house they lived in．The children climbed around，wearing only diapers（尿布）．There were no carpets，only cold concrete beneath our feet．There was no Christmas tree or decorations．My heart sank．It was so cold，and I found it hard to believe that this was the reality for this family．We set boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand．
"You don't know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family，"she said，crying．"We are just getting by．"I opened my arms and gave her a hug．
"Happy holidays！"I replied before I headed out the door．I realized how warm I felt inside．
This was unlike anything I had ever experienced．We cannot help what family we are born into，but we can help each other．
61．Why did the author say things were far from cheery？D
A．Because it was cold outside．
B．Because they had to visit their friends．
C．Because they had to work overtime every day．
D．Because they had lots of boxes of food to deliver to people in need．
62．Camden may be a place whereA．

B．people had no houses to live in

20．Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant．The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude．He was a natural motivator．If an employee was having a bad day，Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation．
Seeing this style really made me curious，so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him，"I don't get it!You can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it？"Jerry replied，"Each morning I wake up and say to myself，‘Jerry，you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．'I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens，I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining，I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．The bottom line：It's your choice how you live life．"I reflected on what Jerry said．Later，I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch，but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life．
Several years later，I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business：he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe，he forgot the password，nervous．The robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily，Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care，Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body．
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was，he replied，"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door，"Jerry replied．"Then，as I lay on the floor，I remembered that I had two choices：I could choose to live，or I could choose to die．I chose to live．""Weren't you scared？Did you lose consciousness？"I asked．Jerry continued，"The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses，I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．"
"What did you do？"I asked．"Well，there was a big，strong nurse shouting questions at me，"said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （過敏的）to anything．"Yes，"I replied．The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled，"Bullets!"Over their laughter，I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive，not dead．"
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors，but also because of his amazing attitude．I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully．
