howard university, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a supreme court bench somewhere. twenty-one years 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 at 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 fantasticand 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 8! our home was a complete zooa 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 taking 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.36. when the author went to howard university, her dream was to be _.a. a writerb. a teacherc. a judged. a doctor37. 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. 38. what can we learn about the author from paragraphs 4 and 5?a.she was busy yet happy with her family life.b.she ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.c.she wanted to remain a full-time housewife.d.she was too confused to make a correct choice.39.what dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?a.failure is the mother of success.b.little by little, one goes far.c.every coin has two sides.d.well begun, half done.40. which of the following can best describe the author?a.caring and determined.b.honest and responsible.c.ambitious and sensitive.d.innocent and single-minded.bweve reached a strange-some would say unusual-point. while fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the world health organization (who), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. its the good life thats more likely to kill us these days.worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. whats going on?we really dont have many excuses for our weight problems. the dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.in the 1970s, finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. not any more. a public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.maybe that explains why the percentage of people in finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. that has become a sort of fashion. no wonder it ranks as the worlds most body-conscious country.we know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter. by far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. more than half of us admit we lack willpower.others blame good food. they say: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat. still others lay the blame on the americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much american-style fast food.some also blame their parents-their genes. but unfortunately, the parents are wronged because theyre normal in shape, or rather slim.its a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. parents are eager to see their kids shape up. do as i say-not as i do.41. what is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?a. the good life is a greater risk than the bad life.b. starvation is taking more peoples lives in the world.c. who report shows peoples unawareness of food safety.d. overweight issue remains unresolved despite whos efforts.42. why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?a. a lot of effective diet pills are available.b. body image has nothing to do with good food.c. they have been made fully aware of its dangers.d. there are too many overweight people in the world.43. the example of finland is used to illustrate _.a. the cause of heart diseaseb. the effectiveness of a campaignc. the fashion of body shapingd. the history of a body-conscious country44. according to the last paragraph, parents _.a. always set a good example to their childrenb. are hardly as overweight as their children c. hope to be as healthy as their own childrend. rarely take action to lose weight themselves45. which would be the best title for the passage?a. actions or excuses? b. overweight or underweight?c. who in a dilemma d. no longer dying of hungercits such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the florida sun by its own roof. about the size of a microwave oven, its pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in palm beach country estates, along the northern boundary of palm beach gardens.its a library built with love.a year ago, shortly after janey henriksen saw a brian williams report about the little free library organization, a wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “thats what were going to do for our spring break!”son austin, now a 10th-grader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. but janey insisted, and husband peter unwillingly got to work. the 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass. after adding the librarys final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only little free library in palm beach county.they stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “i told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said janey, a stay-at-home mom.since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. the library now gets an average of five visits a day.the projects best payoff, says peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “we had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” 46. in what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?a. it owns a yellow roof.b. it stands near a sidewalk.c. it protects book lovers from the sun.d. it uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.47. janey got the idea to build a library from _.a. a visit to brian williamsb. a spring break with her familyc. a book sent by one of her neighborsd. a report on a wisconsin-based organization48. the library was built _.a. by a ship supply companyb. on the basis of toy horsesc. like a mailboxd. with glass49. what can we infer about the signboard?a. it was made by a user of the library.b. it marked a final touch to the library.c. it aimed at making the library last long.d. it indicated the library was a family property.50. the passage tells us that the users _.a. donate books to the libraryb. get paid to collect books for the libraryc. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryd. visit the library over 5 times on average dailydjimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. he has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.one day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. his appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. while waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. obviously there was something wrong with the car. jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. when jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush

the interviewers office with disappointed look on their faces. finally his name was called. the interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “do you really need to be interviewed?” jimmys heart sank. “with the way i look now, how could i possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.then the interviewer turned the chair and to jimmys surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. it turned out he was the general manager of the company.“sorry i had to keep you waiting, but i was pretty sure i made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. i just know youd be a trustworthy worker. congratulations!” jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of
