【題目】For my brother and I, mowing(割草) yards during the summer is a good way to earn pocket change. Dad was our salesman. He traded our service to neighbors at a low price they could not refuse. My brother and I got $10 per yard. However, I later found out our competitors were charging $ 20 or more for the same amount of work.

One afternoon we were cutting our neighbor’s yard. When I was finishing up, I was tired and sweaty. I pictured the tall glass of icy drink I would have to cool down soon. I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece. I thought about the poor change I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower. I ignored him and kept walking. Dad called me out, “You missed a piece.”

I frowned (皺眉), hoping he would let me slide and go home. He kept pointing. So angry, I went back to cut that piece of grass. I said to myself, “That one piece isn’t hurting anyone. Why won’t he just let it go?”

But when I became an adult, I understood his message: When you are running a business, the work you do says a great deal about you. If you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty, you must deliver a quality product. That single piece of grass meant the job was not done.

Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business. We started out with one client(客戶), but by the end of the summer we had five.

The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me: If you say you are going to perform a job at a certain time, keep your word. Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive. It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work.

【1】Which of the following statement is true?

A. His father was not a good businessman.

B. His father charged more for his service.

C. His father’s service was good but cheap.

D. His neighbors thought their service was poor.

【2】When Dad asked the writer to go back, the writer felt ___________.

A. doubtful B. surprised

C. terrified D. annoyed

【3】What did Dad teach the writer?

A. To do your work as well as possible.

B. To earn as much money as possible.

C. To get as more business as possible.

【4】 The best title for the passage may be ___________.

B. The Lesson from My Dad

C. The Yard of Our Neighbor

D. The Grass Cutting days

【題目】I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York, “I’m having a dinner party” means: “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly (平均地), no matter what you eat.” In Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if you try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: “Where are you going ?” And I cannot say I have somewhere to go because everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdatle’s, a well-known department store.

For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was, while In New York people would think it was a usual club.

【1】What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Choice B. Try C. Style D. Goal

【2】What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

A. There is a strange mix of people.

B. The restaurants are expensive.

C. The bill is not fairly shared.

D. People have to pay cash.

【3】What does the author think of the parties in London?

A. A bit unusual B. Full of tricks

C. Less costly D. More interesting

【4】What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?

A. Easy-going. B. Self-centered.

C. Generous. D. Conservative

【題目】In times of trouble, _______ our spirits are low, telling our worries and fears to friends eases the stress.

A. when B. where C. which D. that

【題目】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 72 hours 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 25 to 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.

【1】What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second passage?

A. worried B. favorable

C. optimistic D. proud

【2】 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

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.

【3】 In raising a child in modern society, parents should___________.

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

【4】Which one is the best title of the passage?

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

【題目】Pango was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (殺蟲劑）and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasingmore rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
