I would work many other jobs: I brewed coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and Ive always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say: “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming sense of reward1.

From the sentence “She left the store less apprehensive” we cannot infer_.A. she had found the books that she wantedB. the author helped the woman find the solution to cure her diseaseC. the author had done a good favor to the womanD. the woman was less fearful when she went out the bookstore than when she entered it3.

Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A My First Job B My CareerB Awards From the Jobs D My interesting JobsPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor(单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose4 the word fun to describe raising children. But couple who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.,Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.6. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_.A) he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB) he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC) he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD) he fears it will put an end to all his fun, adventure and excitement7. Raising children, in the authors opinion, is.A) a moral duty B) a thankless jobC) a rewarding task D) a source of inevitable pain8. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from_.A)hatred B) misunderstanding C) prejudice D) ignorance9. To understand what true happiness is one must.A) have as much fun as possible during ones lifetimeB) make every effort to liberate oneself from painC) put up with pain under all circumstancesD) be able to distinguish happiness from fun7. What is the author trying to tell us?A) be able to distinguish happiness from funB) Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.C) It is important to make commitments.D) It is pain that leads to happiness.Passage ThreeQuestion 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents dont understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.Young people often make their parents angry at their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control.If you plan to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.11 .This article is particularly written for_.A) parentsB) both parents and their childrenC) young peopleD) teachers12.

If a young man plans to control his own life, its better for him to _.A) do everything according to his own wishB) do everything the way his parents doC) do everything under his parents controlD) do everything with a high sense of responsibilityPassage FourQuestion 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college.
