he traded our service to neighbors at a price they could not refuse. my brother and i got $10 per yard. i later found out our friends were charging $ 20 or more for the same amount of work.one afternoon we were cutting our neighbors yard. she always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over. what made matters worse was that we had an old lawn mower that kept shutting off as we worked through her lawn. this particular afternoon, i was finishing up and was tired and sweaty. i pictured the tall glass of icy drink i would have to cool down soon.i was just about to cut off the lawn mower when i saw dad pointing to one lone piece. i thought about the poor change i was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower. i ignored him and kept walking. dad called me out, “you missed a piece.”i frowned (皱眉), hoping he would let me slide and go home. he kept pointing. so angry, i went back to cut that piece of grass. i said to myself, “that one piece isnt hurting anyone. why wont he just let it go?”but when i became an adult, i understood his message: when you are running a business, the work you do says a great deal about you. if you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty, you must deliver a quality product. that single piece of grass meant the job was not done.other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business. we started out with one client, but by the end of the summer we had five.the lesson my dad taught me stayed with me: if you say you are going to perform a job at a certain time, keep your word. give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive. it shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work.38. why did dad charge much less for mowing the yards?a. he was not a good businessman.b. he didnt care about money too much.c. he thought his childrens service is bad.d. he wanted to compete with other mowers.39. when dad asked the writer to go back, the

business at a competitive price.d. to ask for a higher price for your service.41. the best title for the passage may be _.a. the memory of my childhoodb. the yard of our neighborc. the lesson from my dadd. the grass cutting daysbbritish 19th century novelist jane austen will become the face of the new 10 pound note, the bank of england said on wednesday.jane austen is a famous woman writer who wrote such works as pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility and emma. she will replace naturalist charles darwin on britains most popular banknote. in april, britains central bank announced the former prime minister winston churchill would appear on the reverse side of the five pound note, replacing the social reformer elizabeth fry. this action led to peoples outcry. they said that it meant women were not as equal as men on the countrys banknotes.mark carney, the first foreigner to head the bank in its 319-year history, praised austen as “one of the greatest writers in english literature (文学)”“we believe that our notes should celebrate the full diversity of great british historical figures and their contributions in a wide range of fields,” he told a gathering at the jane austen house museum in chawton, the 17th century house where the author wrote some of her best-known novels.the austen notes are likely to appear in 2017. on the note, there will be a portrait of jane austen, together with the quote “i declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!” from pride and prejudice.like many other countries, britain changes the design of its banknotes at regular times to avoid counterfeiting (伪造的) risks.since 1960, most of historical figures in banknotes have been men. in the mid 1970s, the nurse florence nightingale appeared on the 10 pound note for the first time, but the notes went out of issue in the early 1990s.carney said it was never the banks intention that none of the four characters on its notes should be a woman. “you can see that our job at the bank of england is to protect the value of the new jane austen note,” he said.42. what can we learn about the ten-pound note in england?a. charles darwin is now on its face.b. its the second most popular banknote.c. elizabeth fry once appeared on its face.d. jane austen will be on it with winston churchill.43. the underlined word “outcry” in paragraph 3 probably means _.a. doubt b. disagreement c. reception d. welcome44. the appearance of jane austen on the banknotes shows that _.a. people are encouraged to read more booksb. counterfeit notes wont happen in britainc. women are as equal as men in britaind. literature means a lot to everyone45. this passage is most probably taken from _.a. a novel b. an advertisement c. a journal d. a newspapercdo you have a hobbysomething you really enjoy doing in your spare time? have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work? maybe its not an either/or situation. perhaps you can do both at the same time.when choosing a career, one of the things you must consider is your interests. why then do so many people not even think about their hobbies when a hobby is, in fact, an interest? perhaps its because even websters dictionary defines a hobby as “a pursuit (消遣，嗜好) outside ones regular occupation (职业)”. maybe this is a rule you should break. after all, no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation. in addition people are usually very skilled at their hobbies. the combination of interest and skill is a very compelling (令人信服的) reason to choose a particular career.“whos going to hire someone who loves making beaded (串珠状的) jewelry?” you may ask yourself. good question. dont wait for someone to hire you. start your own business. that may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career. those with hobbies that involve creating things, i.e. jewelry, clothing, or pottery, may do well to sell those items on their own. before you go forward with your plans, though, you should find out whether being an entrepreneur (企业家) is for you.when you attempt to turn your hobby into a career, dont forget to do your homework. even though you may have enjoyed training your 34 parakeets (长尾鹦鹉) to sing the national anthem, that doesnt mean youre cut out to be an animal trainer. be sure to research your career choice completely. there may be aspects of it that just arent for you. in that case, stick to your day job, as they say, and save your hobby for your free time.46. why does the writer ask two questions in the first paragraph?a. to lead in the topic of hobby and career.b. to describe what can be a hobby.c. to compare hobbies with work.d. to explain what a hobby is.47. we can infer from paragraph 2 that many people _.a. always mix their interest with their hobbiesb. often separate their hobbies from their jobsc. darent break a rule of choosing their jobsd. dont know the true meaning of a hobby48. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. doing ones homework may be a hobby.b. a day job cant be a hobby in your spare time.c. not every hobby is suitable to become a career.d. an animal trainer has a hobby of singing songs.49. by writing this passage, the writer intends to introduce _.a. how to choose a hobby for your free timeb. how to develop your own hobbyc. how to treat your job as a hobbyd. how to turn a hobby into a career五、阅读还原。（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。bungee jumping is not a new activity. 50 the men tie long vines (藤) from plants around their ankles (脚踝). they spend
