Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through brst snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one. Ks5uI managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled won my jacket because it didnt fit well. It was a hand-mc-down from my brother, and if made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes, At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）. Ks5uIn her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didnt realize at the at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）. Ks5uI handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too. Ks5uI announced, “Theyre on the wrong feet.” Ks5uShe struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Ks5u“Theyre my brothers boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them”. Ks5uSomehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasnt an annoying（烦人的） little girl, She struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）？” Ks5uI looked into her eyes and said, “I didnt want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.

Why does the author Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day? Ks5uA. Because the little girl was in her brothers clothes. Ks5uB. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter . Ks5uC. Because the little girl played a trick on her. Ks5uD. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf. Ks5u44. We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_. Ks5uA. was losing confidence in the little girl. Ks5uB. gradually lost patience with the little girl. Ks5uC. became disappointed with the little girl. Ks5uD. was getting bored with the little girl. Ks5uB Ks5uWhen people hear a president speak, they seldom think about others helping to shape the presentation（报告）. Today, however, presidents depend on writers such as J. Terry Edmonds to help them communicate （交流） effectively. Edmonds is the first African American ever to work as a full-time speechwriter for a U. S. president; he is so the first African American to serve as director of speechwriting for White House. His is an all-American story of success. Ks5uEdmonds grew up in Baltimore, Maryland; his father drove a truck, and his mother worked as a waitress. A. great reader, Edmonds showed a gift for writing at his high Ks5uSchool, Baltimore City College After graduating in 1967 Edmonds went on to Morgan State University Ks5uEdmonds began his career in business, with jobs in public relations and communications. He joined the world of politics as news secretary for his congressman （国会议员） from Baltimore During Bill Clintons presidency, he wrote speeches for Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and worked in a number of job in the White House and in governmental departments President Clinton then appointed （任命）him Ks5uto the office of directory of speechwriting Following the 2000 elections Edmonds returned Ks5uto Morgan State University as the schools special assistant to the president for 2001-2002 Ks5u45.

Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time Ks5uDid your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic（蒜）is good for you, too。It can kill the type of virus that causes colds. Ks5uUnfortunately, not all of Moms advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars. Ks5uEven though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs dont hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives tales, After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated （积累） from thousands of our traditional beliefs dont hold water should respect this body of knowledge even as research for clear scientific support to proven it true or false Ks5u48.

Ks5u A. So objective B. Objective C. Dissatisfied D. Curious Ks5uD Ks5uBrian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didnt have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package. Ks5u“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You dont have any luggage, right?” Ks5u“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.” Ks5u“Thats right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.” Ks5u“Thanks.” Ks5uIs Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick. Ks5uEvery year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isnt for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的）about your travel plans, and dont mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation! Ks5u52 Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? Ks5uA. Because they were the uniform for air couriers, Ks5uB. Because that made him easier to be recognized. Ks5uC. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes. Ks5uD. because he did not have any luggage with him. Ks5u53 An air courier is a person who Ks5uA. manages a business company in foreign countries Ks5uB. organizes international flights for tourists Ks5uC. travels around the world with cheap tickets Ks5uD. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries Ks5u54 Businesses choose the air-courier service because Ks5uA. it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast Ks5u55 One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he Ks5uA. cannot decide when and where to travel Ks5uB. cannot take any luggage with him Ks5uC. has to wear two pairs of jeans Ks5uD. saves little money from the travel Ks5u56 The author of the text mainly Ks5uA. describes the activities of a law-breaker Ks5uB. suggests an ideal way to travel Ks5uC. argues against the air-courier travel Ks5u D. tells us about a developing business Ks5uE Ks5uSuccessful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptionsmistaken ideas. Ks5uOne cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that ones own cultures way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. Its ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, its necessary to study the different elements（组成部分）of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners. Ks5uLanguage Ks5uA. knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better. Ks5uValues are peoples basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad . An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it. Ks5uCustoms and manners Ks5uCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad （色拉） before the main course at dinner, not after. Its not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesnt sell well because the French dont usually drink juice with breakfast. Ks5u57.

KsA. to be more open with their customers Ks5uB. to communicate without outside help Ks5uC. to express their thoughts indirectly Ks5uD. to have a better idea of their own culture Ks5u58.
