around the neighborhood, so i just stood there. after wepassed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, you let that be the last time you everwalk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. that sentence sounds simple but it made me become who i am. at work, i used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business wasdoing. but i also spoke to the people in the caf? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked themhow their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble(卑微的)they are. i remember that after a few years of passing by the president, i had the courage to ask him fora chat. we had a great talk. at some point, when i asked him how far he thought i could go in his company, he said that if i wanted to, i could get all the way to his seat. ive become vice president, but that hasnt changed how i treat people. i speak to people wherever i am. speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. the day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.5. what is the best title of this passage?a. the power of being talkativeb. my mothers influence on mec. the power of saying hellod. my way to become vice-president6. what can we learn from the second paragraph?a. the writer didnt say hello to everyone in the company.b. the writer made a very good impression

paragraph 3, in the writers opinion, speaking to others can _.a. make our world much betterb. make people much happier every dayc. help people understand each other betterd. help people work much better c its never easy to say goodbye to a longtime companion. for fans of naruto, the ending of the manga(漫画) on nov 10 is like a farewell to an old friend from a misplaced youth. after 15 years, the plucky teen with blonde hair and an orange jumpsuit grew to be a mainstay in the lives of many readers. “hes far from perfect. hes a very picky eater. hes afraid of ghosts. hes got the habit of giving nicknames to people. naruto reminds me a lot of my self. but i admire him for his courage and determination, for the way he faces struggles and difficulties. he would never give up no matter what,” said wu xian, 25, a faithful fan who works for enlight media in nanjing. the anime follows the adventures of leading character naruto uzumaki, who wants to be the worlds best ninja. just like the lead characters in several other young adult comics and cartoons, naruto wasnt born to be a hero. because of a nine-tailed beast sealed within him, naruto was neglected and ostracized by most people throughout his childhood. but years of scorn and isolation didnt make him pessimistic or world-weary. on the contrary, he works hard to be a capable ninja and to win the respect and trust of his friends and fellow villagers. in this global best-selling manga series, masashi kishimoto draws out a mysterious world of ninjas with unprecedented abilities and unique personalities. uchiha sasuke, who later became narutos best friend, was dismissive of him when they first met at the ninja academy, as he was certain he was superior. naruto never gave up trying to both surpass and befriend sasuke. “i felt really touched when sasuke said to naruto that for the first time he considered him a comrade. actually as he grew stronger, naruto won recognition among his people, but sasuke was always special to him,” said shao shuai, 23, a postgraduate student at hong kong baptist university. finally, naruto has achieved his goal of becoming the seventh hokage. there are a few lingering questions: can narutos master jiraiya see his success, whats under kakashis mask but regardless of these loose ends, the young ninja will remain a fond memory in our minds.9. what may be the best title of this passage?a. the future of naruto b. naruto never give up c. naruto comes to its close d. the spirits in naruto10. which of the following characteristics of naruto is not mentioned according to the passage?a. being afraid of ghosts b. being courageousc. being choosy about food d. being worldweary11. what is the meaning of the underlined phrase “was dismissive of” in paragraph4?a, speak highly of b. look down upon c. be fond of d. be dependent upon dthanks to modern technologies, we now have the solutions to most eyesight problems. doctors can use different treatmentsprk, lasik (镭射视力矫正术) , lasek and intraocularlensesto solve all types of eyesight problems while limiting the side effects. people believe eye operations are about as safe and effective as surgery (外科手术) can be. however, for an industry that promises clearness, many hospitals have kept their patients in the dark about the risks and realities. governments are of no help either as there are no limits to who can buy medical instruments. despite a good record of the surgery, thousands of people around the world suffer from an eye operation that goes wrong. the consumer - advocate website posts an astonishing series of unhappy endingsinfected corneas(角膜),triple vision (三重视觉) and permanently damaged eyesight. the message boards are full of people who came out of lasik with far better vision but still in great unhappiness, affected by poor night vision, dry eyes and worse. its vital to research the subject if youre considering surgery. heres a guide to help you see things clearly. know what youre getting into. if you believe all the ads, after eye surgery, youll be able to read the bottom line of an eye chart through a brick wall. if only it were true. you may not end up with a vision as good as is promised. besides, eye surgery still isnt fit for people with certain severe vision problems or an eye disease. the same goes for children under 18 and pregnant women, whose eyes may be experiencing changes. so dont be shocked if a doctor gazes into your eyes andshows you the door. finally, be prepared for side effect. some complain of dry eyes and require eye drops known as artificial tears for months. others see light circles and star bursts while driving at night. fortunately such symptoms tend to be minor and fade away. find a doctor. ask friends for recommendations or look for one on the internet. whatever you do, dont make a decision on a rock - bottom price. you have only one set of eyes. ask the doctor right questions: who will be doing the operation? being easily available and open communication with the doctor and his team are typical features of a good practice. what are your qualification certificates? how much experience do you have? whats your complication rate(并发症比率)? the best doctors have a serious surgical complication rate below 1 percent. beware of doctors who cant answer these questions. finally, whats included in the price? watch out for hospitals that offer a low price and then charge for extras for later visits.12. from the first paragraph we know that_.a. doctors can deal with any eyesight problem without side effectsb. people are still concerned about the safety and effect of eye surgeryc. some hospitals dont tell the patients all the truth about eye surgeryd. government now do not care who can buy medical
