The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in.When he wasn，t hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good point of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spend her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the music knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 interest in the piano.1 ・ Ernest Hemingway died in _______ .A.1969B. 1979C.1981D. 19612.Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boyB.His family had a summer house in northem MichiganC・ He taught himself music when he was a boyD.He also went squirrel hunting in the woods3.After he became successful, Ernest Hemingway _________ ・A.Preferred tos stay in big citiesB.Chose to live in somewhat isolated placesC.Moved his family to ParisD.Killed himself4.Being talented in music, Hemingway's mother once wanted to __________ ・A.Be a music teacherB.Help Hemingway learn musicC・ Perform on the stage as a singerD.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue （烤肉）restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents・ Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity （一致性）,for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cools，sticking to their routine. Their new drivc-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch, people drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime・ The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened・ They were content with his modest success until they met Ray Kroc・Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954.

PeculiarPassage 3If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise一and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at 'Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations・Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能)and emotion, and determine the human character・(The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing dose not contract with age, and one can continue without intellectual or emotional faculties.) Contraction of front and side parts一as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age — using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors・White collar workers doing routine work in government offices arc, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation in through using the brain/ he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators.^11.The team of doctors wanted to find out _________ .A.Why certain people age sooner than othersB.How to make people live longerC.The size of certain peopled brainsD.Which people arc more intelligent12.On what are their research findings based?A.A survey of farmers in northern JapanB.Tests performed on a thousand old peopleC・ The study of brain volumes of different peopleD.The latest development of computer technology13.The doctor's tests show that __________ ・A.Our brains shrink as we grow olderB.The front section of the brain dose not shrinkC・ Sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD.Some people's brains have contracted more than other people's14.The word “subjects” in paragraph 5 means_________ .A.Something to be consideredB.Branches of knowledge studiedC.Persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD.Any member of a state except the supreme ruler15.According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the other?A. LawyersB. ClerksC.Farmers D・ Shop assistantsPassage 4What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work・ A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school- On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value・ Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs, but 讦history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job・Facing your weak points in also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you arc a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good. Yet it is an important part of your background・ You should not be apologetic about it, but instead, recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.16.Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A.The importance of doing well at schooling school performance to help to choose a careerC・ The importance of being good at all subjectsD.The indirect value of schoolwork17・ The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably _________A.A waste of time that could have been spent on studyeful for his future workC.A good way to earn extra moneyD・ A good way to find out his weak points18.According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he _________A.Will be a complete failure in his future workB.Will not be able to find a suitable workC.Will regret not having worked harder at schoolD.May do well in his future work19.According to the passage, which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A.
