In the end, they will be much better for your digestion （消化）You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating aloneYou will probably get better service and almost certainly a better tableFinally, and most importantly, anticipate your travel needs as a businesswomanThis starts with lightweight luggage, which you can easily manage even when entirely packedTake a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the tripAnd make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separateObviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier yourself from the first time by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!41Who is the passage intended for?AWorkingwomen who have no time for cookingBHusbands and children of workingwomenCWorkingwomen who have to travel on their ownDHotel personnel who workingwomen show interest in42Why is lightweight luggage important for the traveling businesswomen?AIt provides space for dirty clothesBIt can double as a briefcaseCIt allows for convenience of moving from one place to anotherDIt is usually big enough to carry all business documents43The underlined word anticipate can most probably mean _ ahead of timeAmeet Bprepare Creport Dparticipate44What is the main idea of this passage?ABusiness trips are more difficult for women than for menBMore women are finding the road to success in American businessCGood business trips result from careful organization before the tripDConsiderate planning makes most business successfulBA round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world recordIts an impressive featto be sure, but lets just hope he still has a voiceAccording to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so that his vocal cords （声带） can healIt was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “Its a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told DNAIndia. com.I am unable to share their enthusiasmDont get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrityBut his recordsinging for 80 hours straightis about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsI admit Im not qualified to speak on the subjectIve got no world records to my nameand I never expect to have anyThen again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing an 80-hour medley （集成曲） of pop songsBut lets not just pick on poor BurbureHes not the only person chasing such accolades （荣誉）The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, or built the biggest bicycle, or baked the largest cheesecakeTo all of these enterprising souls I ask, simply, What was it all for?

This kind of life was hardNow being home-schooled, I can adjust my school schedule around my dads work scheduleI also enjoy the fact that I can work at my own paceI have time to do things more efficiently, and I have more free time in the afternoon to walk to the park or write my manuscripts, rather than staying up until 10pm doing homeworkHome schooling is not for everyoneSome teens definitely need social interactionThe down side of this whole type of education is that one parent must be at home during the school dayWhenever I run into one of my old teachers, they are proud of me for taking my education into my own handsI couldnt agree more49What is the passage mainly about?AA brief introduction to the authors school lifeBThe authors parents influence on his growthCThe family life of the author and his parentsDThe authors experience of studying at home50What made the author decide to choose home schooling?AHis father could teach him history, art as well as photography classesBHis mother could help him with science knowledge, English and writingCCompared with on-campus schooling, home schooling is more flexibleDHe can concentrate better by himself than other students51Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASchool life is much more colorful than home schoolingBIt is common that a lot of students receive their education at home nowCThough home schooling has some benefits, it doesnt suit every studentDThe author have to study as many subjects as other students in school52What can we infer from the passage?ACompared with other students, the author has a stronger ability in controlling and planningBThe author is much cleverer than other students because he can study on his ownCOne advantage of home schooling is that students can get some social interactionDThe author couldnt agree to what his teachers said about his learning stylehome schoolingDIn this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupiedYet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short storiesShe wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last yearAs a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing themI know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip form the publishers. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victoriesWhat if she doesnt win the contest again? Thats the strange thing about being a parentSo many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surfaceA revelation （启示） came last week when I asked her, Dont you want to win again? No, she replied, I just want to tell the story of an angel （天使） going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she naturally told themTelling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts （冲突） and endings for her talesThe story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lessonI had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing itStaying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looksBecause I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting （借用） my daughters experienceWhile stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help when askedAll the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices53What do we learn from the first paragraph?AChildren do find lots of fun in many mindless activitiesBRebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure timeCRebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writingDA lot of recreations compete for childrens time nowadays54What did the author say about her own writing experience?AShe didnt quite live up to her reputation as a writerBHer way to success was full of pains and frustrationsCShe was constantly under the pressures of writing moreDMost her stories had been rejected by publishers55The author took great efforts to corect her daughters stories because _AShe believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidanceBshe didnt want to disappoint her daughter who needed her help so muchCshe wanted to help her daughter realize her dream of becoming a writerDshe was afraid her daughters imagination might run wild while writing56Whats the authors advice for parents?AA writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursueBChildren should be allowed freedom to grow through experienceCParents should keep an eye on the activities their
