“Mommy, I got some thing for you!” Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just any pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen 1 , waiting for my reaction（反应）.I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 2 about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure（珍爱）it.I had made the decision to be a(n) 3 . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses. The night before, I told my husband my4 when I th ought Cody wasn’t listening. “What if5 likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did6 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your7 great and everyone will love you.”Tears filled my eye s. Refusal and failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I 8 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though.

LostBFrom my father I have learned a lot．And I'm very thankful to him．I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early，quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work．To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8：30，he needed to leave our apartment at 6：30．After all，he had to take a bus and then the subway．The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish．I learned：it is very important to work．No excuse．When I was 12，I would，on some Saturdays，go to my father's store to help out．After helping set up the outside clothing display，for the rest of the day，I'd watch to make sure no one stole anything．When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange，I would look the person in the eye，smile and say，"May I help you？"Usually that worked，but sometimes，someone would run off with something．The first time，I ran after the thief but my father shouted，"Martin，stop! There is no need to do that．"It's true that safety is more important than money．After 10years of hard work，he saved up enough money to buy his first car，a cheap one﹣he wouldn't buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money．I learned：buy only what you can afford．Buying necessary food and clothing won't make us go in debt（债务）．The unnecessary things won't give us happiness，which comes from achievement only．19．What shop did the author's father own？A．A food shop．B．A bookshop．C．A coffee shop．D．A clothing shop．20．All the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT．A．the importance of workingB．the good ways to keep healthyC．that safety comes before moneyD．that it's bad to spend more than you make21．According to the author，what usually makes people go in debt？A．To enjoy something unnecessaryB．To send their children to school．C．To buy enough food for the family．D．To live in a big house with his family．22．What is the passage mainly about？A．How to live a happy LifeB．What Makes a Person SuccessfulC．The Help I Got From My FatherD．What the author Learned From his Father．CAlthough people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture．In Europe for example，coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee．On the other hand，places like this were not as common in North America in the past．Instead，people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends．The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks（星巴克）coffee shops spread across the country．The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971in downtown Seattle，Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans．The coffee shop's business did well，and by 1981there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle．Things really began to change for the company in 1981．That year，Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks．Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment．He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers，which caused his great interest．Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did．In 1982，the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing（市场营销）．In 1983，Schultz traveled to Italy．The special environment of the espresso （浓咖啡）bars there caught his eyes．Back in the USA，Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual，and customers everywhere seemed to like it．Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well．Today，there are more than 16，000Starbucks coffee shops all over the world．However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems．In fact，many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years．On the one hand，this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area．On the other hand，stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the"feel the same everywhere"environment offered by Starbucks．23．The underlined word"ran"in Paragraph 3probably meansA．closedB．managedC．leftD．sold24．According to the passage，which is the right order for the following sentences？a．This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company．b．Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA．c．He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it．b．Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers．A．a﹣b﹣d﹣cB．c﹣a﹣b﹣dC．b﹣d﹣c﹣aD．d﹣c﹣a﹣b25．Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage？（P=paragraph）26．What's the best title for the passage？A．The History of StarbucksB．The Culture of StarbucksC．The Popularity of StarbucksD．The Environment of Starbucks．DWhat would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.27. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _____A. make readers wonder about self-driven cars.B. get readers to pay attention to road safety.C. tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic.D. tell readers what self-driven cars look like.28. From the passage,we know that the testing self-driven cars can already ______A. avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads.B. control the speed in dangerous situations.C. turn around when getting near objects.D. pick up their owners.29. What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?a. e-readingb. wireless signalsc. camerasd. GPSA. a, b, cB. a, b, dC. b, c, dD. a, c, d30. What is Whit Drake's attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars?A. He has doubt about it.B. He believes it completely.C. He doesn't care about it.D. He thinks its technologies are convincing（使人信服的）.三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有5处(第31-35)需添加小标题。
