town, or get married. i was nervous when i told my father i wanted to leave school. i thought he would say, “no! you are going to college.” he took me by surprise when he said, “ok. well go to the brick factory.”two days later, he took me to the factory. i had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. i had imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. i even imagined there would be music and singing. i guess i had watched too many movies as a teenager.when we arrived at the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. my father said, “take your time. look around.” i walked around the factory looking at the building, the workers, and listening to the noise. it was horrible. i ran back to my father and said, “i want to go home.”he asked me, “what do you think of the factory?”“its terrible,” i replied.“and marriage is even worse!” he said.i went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so i could get into a good college. i enjoyed studying english so i decided to major in languages at college. thanks to my father and our trip to the brick factory, i now work at the united nations and my father is very proud of me. i married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!1the writer lived in when she was a teenager.a. russia b. japan c. china2at first

“horrible” means “ ” in chinese.a. 糟糕的 b. 紧张的 c. 浪漫的cchina youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in recent few years. as we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls, and the boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. now things have changed a lot.in recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. in 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. in 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.there are several reasons for this.firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). thats to say, girls are as clever as boys. and boys have more interests than girls, so they may not do well in their study.secondly, girls are more careful and more sensible than boys. they work harder at school and they do better in all exams.another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls education.1china youth says that more and more _a. boys are cleverer than girlsb. boys cant go to schoolc. girls have entered collegesd. girls begin to study at school242.14% refers to the number of _a. girls at schools at schools in 1998b. girls in colleges in 2001c. boys at schools in 2001d. boys in colleges in 19983the writer gave us _ reasons to explain the question.a. two b. three c. four d. five4the

me which way i should go from here?” asked alice.“that depends a good deal on where you want to get,” said the cat.“i really dont care where” replied alice.“then it doesnt much matter which way you go,” said the cat.- from “ alice in wonderland ”my name is david. and i have a brother called mike.one day, my brother called me and asked me for some advice. he was trying to decide between two job offers:job 1 the first job was your typical 40 hour a week “office” job.job 2 the second job was more of a career in the insurance industry(保险业), where he would start at the bottom, and after many years and many long hours eventually rise to the top (if he was good).the second job did not pay as well as the first job (at the beginning), but the pay-off of the second job (in the future) was much greater than the first job. so which job should my brother take? well the answer isit depends.just like the cat was trying to tell alice, which road you take depends a great deal on where you want to end up.begin with the end in mindi asked my brother what was his lifes purpose. he said his purpose was to “teach,” but he wanted to make a lot of money first. i told my brother to forget about the money, and i advised him to focus on his purpose. i then asked him which job best supported his end result of “teaching.” he said the first job best supported his goal because he would only have to work 40 hours a week, which would give him spare time to teach. he continued on to say, “but if i take job number two, i can work hard and make more money, then i can retire early and “teach” later in life.” i again advised him to “focus” on his purpose, not money. things dont end wrong, they begin wrong!tomorrow never comesmy brother was thinking that he could always start teaching later in life, but the reality is, tomorrow never comes. unless you decide right now to follow your feelings, they will probably never be completed. you only live once, dont go to the end of your life with one regret.the money will comemy brother seemed to be overly concerned with making money. i told him not to be anxious about making money. you will always have greater money when youre doing what you love.in a word, whenever youre at a cross-road, be sure to make the decision that best supports the goal of your life. if you do, then you will be well on your way.1 mike _ david one day.a. visited b.
