leaves i have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.now, truss and i disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. she thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while i just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, ifixit or dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. if job hopefuls cant distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.of course, we write for a living. if is the worlds largest online repair manual (指南), and dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. so, it makes sense that weve made a strong strike against grammar errors.but grammar is relevant for all companies. yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesnt make grammar unimportant. good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. and, for better or worse, people judge you if you cant tell the difference between “their” “there” and “theyre”.good grammar makes good business sense and not just when it comes to hiring writers. writing isnt in the official job description of most people in our office. still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.grammar signifies more than just a persons ability to remember high school english. ive found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing like stocking shelves or labeling parts. it is the same with programmers. applicants who dont think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also arent important.1. the author agrees with lynne truss in that _. a. grammar mistakes cant be tolerated b. books on grammar make people stupid c. people need to learn basic grammar d. grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable. whats the authors “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar? a. they should be left out for a job. b. they have to correct their mistakes. c. they arent qualified for their jobs.d. they must be severely punished.3. which of the following is true of ifixit and dozuki? a. only one of them has a compulsory grammar test. b. they are companies where one learns grammar. c. grammar is quite important for their existence.d. they depend on grammar correction for a living.4. what can we learn from the text? a. companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.b. grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing. c. a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair. d. people who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.参考答案aacd阅读理解。home stay provides english

a bright-eyed girl heading off to howard university, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a supreme court bench somewhere. twenty-one years later i am later i am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. my grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. she was the first in our family to reach that goal. but one year after i started college, she developed cancer. i made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. it meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. then i got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. in 1999, we adopted our first son. to lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional. a year later came our second adopted boy. then followed son no. 3. in 2003, i gave birth to another boy. you can imagine how fully occupied i became, raising four boys under the age of 81. our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo. not surprising, i never did make it back to college full-time. but i never gave up on the dream either. i had only one choice: to find a way. that meant talking as few as one class each semester. the hardest part was feeling guilty about the time i spent away from the boys. they often wanted me to stay home with them. there certainly were times i wanted to quit, but i knew i should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.in 2007, i graduated from the university of north carolina. it took me over 21 years to get my college degree！i am not special, just single-minded. it always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. its a process. remember；little steps add up to big dreams.( ) 1. when the author went to howard university, her dream was tobe a. a writerb. a teacherc. a judged. a doctor( ) 2. why did the author quit school in her second year of college?a. she wanted to study by herself.b. she fell in love and got married.c. she suffered from a serious illness.d. she decided to look after her grandma.
