The manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test.” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and Ill send you the form(表格) to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied. “But I dont have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “Im sorry,” said the manager. “If you dont have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isnt living cannot have the job.” The man left with no hope at all. He didnt know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He did this again and again for three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. At last, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队).Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US. One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I havent got one.” His friend couldnt believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, Id be an office boy at Microsoft!”1What did the man do for the test?AHe sent e-mails.BHe did the cleaningCHe sold computers.DHe filled in forms.2The man didnt get the job because he.Adisliked such a jobBdidnt pass the testCdidnt have an e-mailDknew nothing about computers3The manafter he left Microsoft.Awent home directlyBasked for food from door to doorCthought up an idea to make moneyDbought a computer and got an e-mail4What does the story want to tell us?AComputers are very important in our daily life.BEveryone can make a lot of money with only $10.CThe manager didnt like the man.BMost people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons (西瓜), but some Japanese sellers do. There is often wasted space when they store (贮存) watermelons, because round watermelons do not sit nicely on shelves. So some clever farmers have solved the watermelon problem. They make their watermelons grow in square glass boxes so the watermelons become square. The only problem now is the price. The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars each. Many people know the saying Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you. Well, today the poem needs to change to Roses are red, roses are blue! Australian scientists have just recently discovered that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose, they can create a nearly 100% blue rose. Some of sciences inventions are beautiful, not just useful! Since the mid-1990s, many Chinese farmers have had amazing rice harvests. For many years Chinese scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a newkind, called super rice. Super rice not only can protect itself against insects (昆虫) and diseases, but it alsoproduces more than any other kind of rice. Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more ricethan they could grow in the past. Doctors might be able to use vegetables to fight cancer now. US scientists have discovered a way to puta chemical into tomato plants while they are growing. When cancer patients eat the tomatoes, the tomatoeswill fight the cancer in their bodies. These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale, because scientists have not finished testing them. If study finds no problems with the tomatoes, then patients can begin to usethis easy and delicious new treatment.5 The square watermelons look like _.A.B.C.D.6. _ find a way to make blue roses.A.
