Dear Reader,
Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my 15 , Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy. I had sat in a wheelchair for 20 years before then, and I have been seriously ill many times. So I wondered if I would have the 16 to tell Sam what I had discovered. For years I have hosted a program on the 17 and writing articles for a magazine. Being 18 to move freely, I have learned to sit still(静止不动) and keep my heart 19 , exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and readers. So when Sam was born, I decided to tell him about school and friendship, romance and work, l ove and everything else. That‟s how I started to write these letters. I hoped that Sam would read them sooner or later. However, that expedition(远征) changed when Sam showed signs of autism(自闭症) at the age of two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He 20 to communicate with others, even the family members. That was heartbreaking for me but didn‟t stop me writing on. I realized that I had even 21 now to tell him. I wanted him to 22 what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune(不幸) he‟ll fac e as I myself, his grandfather, did. I just 23 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life. Now, as the book has been published, I have been given the chance.

A
Acting is a very crowded profession(职业) and the only advice to a young person thinking of going onto the stage is “Don‟t!”. But still lots of young people would like to go, although very few of them will become famous. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only very talented students are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress usually works with a show company as an assistant(助理). This means doing everything in the theatre: painting, looking after the actors, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is hard work indeed; the hours are long and the pay is poor. But young actors who are crazy about acting are happy, waiting for the chance of work with a better company, or perhaps in films or on television.
Of course, some people have great chances and they just succeed without this long and hard training. Connie Parrat, for example, was just a next-door girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to see her one morning at a bus stop as he drove past in his big car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test. At first she thought he was joking, and then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince(使……相信) Connie that he was serious. Then she went to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her speech lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the lead role opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given
a more popular name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
25. Which word can best describe Connie Parrat according to her experience?
A. Beautiful.
B. Lucky.
C. Successful.
D. Famous.
26. If we say “something happens once in a blue moon”, it must be very _________.
A. strange
B. interesting
C. rare
D. common
27. What fact is NOT provided in the passage?
A. Too many people dream to become actors or actresses.
B. A drama school usually offers a 2-year training courses.
C. Not all people can achieve success without hard work.
D. Young actors often complain about being badly paid.
B
“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?”her mother thought for a while. “Well, it‟s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad‟s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be …a skeleton in his family‟s closet‟. He really wouldn‟t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica‟s father said with anger. “Your family history isn‟t so good, you know. Wasn‟t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was brought to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors
arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica‟s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and from time to time she looked angrily at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica‟s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica‟s mother sank in a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?”she asked. “You just destroyed the school‟s skeleton, Mum,”explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I wanted to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I said something about skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They‟re both crazy,”she thought.
28. According to Jessica‟s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.
A. a family honor
B. a family secret
C. a family story
D. a family treasure
29. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A. She was curious about it.
B. She planned to keep it for fun.
C. She needed it for her school task.
D. She wanted to scare her parents.
30. Jessica‟s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A. they realized their misunderstanding
B. they were crazy
C. they were over excited
D. they both thought they had won the quarrel
C
Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding(避免) business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism(民族优越感), the belief that one‟s own culture‟s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It‟s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it‟s necessary to study the different parts of culture: language, values and attitudes(态度), and customs(风俗) and manners.
Language
A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
Values and Attitudes
Values are people‟s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they but a lot of it.
Customs and Manners
Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that people believe are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad before the main course at dinner, not after. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn‟t sell well because the Frenchmen don‟t usually drink juic e with breakfast.
31. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people ________.
A. to be more open with their customers
B. to communicate without outside help
C. to express their thoughts indirectly
D. to have a better idea of their own culture
32. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ________.
A. manners
B. values
C. customs
D. attitudes
33. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Misconceptions in Business
B. Basic Beliefs in Business
C. International Business Culture
D. Successful International Business
D
Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(能源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC(公元前). They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind wheat(磨麦) into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in areas away from cities began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming worried about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a worldwide movement to supply(提供) more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
34. From the passage we know that windmills ________.
A. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. used to supply power to radio in areas away from cities
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
35. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A. Sailing a boat.
B. Producing electricity.
C. Grinding wheat into flour.
D. Pumping water from underground.
36. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.
A. wind power is cleaner
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
37. What would the writer probably discuss next after the third paragraph?
A. The advantages of wind power.
B. The design of wind power plants.
C. The worldwide movement to save energy.
D. The worldwide trend towards producing power from wind.

(Sample)
Nowadays it‟s common for parents to drive their children to school and back home, which has caused a heated discussion.
Some parents think it saves time. It is very safe. And it offers more chances to have communication with their children. It‟s easy to get along well with children.
However, other parents think it is more crowded around schools. There have been several traffic accidents recently. Polluted air has a bad effect on health.
I think we should do our things ourselves. Students used to go to school themselves. We can go to school by bus or on foot. And it can also help reduce pollution.
