A
When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠) his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money -locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round.” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other snag(障碍). But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motor-cycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.

A cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wante d to do before dying.
Alice Pyne, l5, created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells. “ I've been fighting cancer for almost four years and now l know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one,” she wrote.
For her list, the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film “The Bucket List”, in which two terminally ill (患绝症的) men, played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die.
On her list, at the site www. alicepyne. blogspot. com, she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者), swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.
Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.
“Oh dear and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. “Thank you so muc h for all your lovely messages to me.”
Pyne, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed (透露) the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits (品质)
in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they
smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing
with all these confident American students, I find it extremely
important to be confident as an international student and instructor.
As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise
your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind
if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to
speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are
not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on
the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking
the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring
yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be
confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches. (The course I'm teaching here is Public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
46. To compete with American students it's very important to .
A. be quite confident
B. be polite and friendly
C. have more discussions with them
D. understand what they think about
47. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who .
A. gives a silly or simple answer
B. tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C. shows no interest in the course
D. is considered to have no opinion of his own
48. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if .
A. he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B. the students bargain with him
C. he pretends to know what he doesn't
D. he has to give a speech
49. We learn from the second paragraph that .
A .we should also remain modest in America
B. modesty doesn't help you much in America
C. Americans also like modest people
D. modesty can help you through an American graduate program
50. What can we infer from the passage?
A. American students are ready to accept the grades from the teacher.
B. The writer teaches in Europe for a living.
C. Students are encouraged to present simple questions.
D. One’s ignorance will give away in time.
D
The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.
I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes, “Job means‘ just over broke (破产)' ”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to
millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers“ live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands.
I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger. 5l. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .
A. he is just one of the talented people
B. he is ready to help others
C. he has a sharp sense of hearing
D. he knows little about car repairing
52. The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by .
A. spend more than they can afford
B. do in their own way
C. live in their own circle
D. live within what they earn
53. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A. They don't work hard enough.
B. They lack financial intelligence.
C. They don't make full use of their talents.
D. They have no specialized skills.
54. The success of McDonald's lies in its .
A. skills at making hamburgers.
B. good business systems
C. talented workers
D. excellent service
55.The main purpose of the author is to tell us .
A. how young people can find a satisfactory job
B. what schools should teach students
C. why so many talented people are poor
D. how McDonald's makes much money
