Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research some before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to divide into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, he worked in the public relations and advertising, industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them. Deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her l998 book about the death of her was shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into film. She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her hooks being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the moat important resource(资源)and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公)of her own invention. Her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的)style. There is only one Danielle Steel.21Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that _AShe can write several books at the same timeBShe often does some research before writing a bookCShe is one of the most popular American women writersDShe can keep writing for quite a long time without a break22Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know _AHow to deal with affairs at schoolBWhat to do if Max and Martha dieCWhat to do when new babies are born into their familiesDHow to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes23One of Danielle Steels achievements is that_ASome TV plays were based on her booksBHer picture books attracted a lot of young menCOne of her books became a best-seller in 1998DShe wrote the Guinness Book of World Records24We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _Alives an exciting life Bvalues her readers a lotCwrites about quiet women Dis pleased with her achievementsBAll her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.You could turn your hack for a moment in my mother s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had put it back where it belonged,” as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused（疑惑的）, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to（有的倾向）forgetfulness. And it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sigh of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to hit his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.We have all become busy persons.25Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?AShe enjoyed removing others drinks.BShe became more and more forgetful.CShe preferred to do everything by herself.DShe wanted to keep her house in good order.26Sly wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mothers house because_.Ashe had already finished them B. my mother had taken them awayCshe forgot where she had left them Dsomeone in my family was holding them27The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _Ais happy to clean windows Bloves to dean used windowsCis fond of clean used windows Dlikes clean windows as my mother did28This passage mainly tells us that _Amy mother often made us confusedBmy family members had a poor memoryCmy mother helped us to form a good habitDmy wife was surprised when she visited my mother.CWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially; we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.29. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face”looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms. People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains(坏人) or the heros role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask.” Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions. 33. The main idea of this passage is _. A. how to distinguish peoples faces B. how to describe peoples personality C. how to distinguish people both inward and outward D. how to differ good persons from bad persons 34. The author is most probably a _. A. behavioristB. psychologistC. writer D. Sociologist 35. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Different people may have different personalities. B. People differ from each in appearance. C. People can learn to recognize faces. D. People can describe all the features of others. 36. The reason why it is easier to describe a persons personality in words than his face is that _. A. a persons face is more complex than his personality B. a persons personality is easily distinguished C. peoples personalities are very alike D. many words are available when people try to describe ones personality 37. We learn from the passage that people classify a person into certain type according to _. A. his way of acting and thinking B. his way of speaking and behaving C. his learning and behav
