And my friends, along with my boyfriend at the time, felt as I did, that my scar was 43 and almost pretty in its own way. After so many years, it was a 44 of me. But my father said it was a deformity(畸形).I dont know what 45 more that day: hearing my father call my scar a deformity without caring about my feeling.I did have the operation that summer, and my scar was nowhere to be found, but no one asked me about it anymore.

Most of us are eager for success and scared of failure. However, no one is always successful 48 also no one is always a failure. Then 49 to deal with failure and success in our life?On the one hand, “failure is the mother of success”. If we sum 50 experiences and lessons after failure, maybe success will come. Nevertheless, if we lose our hearts and give up former efforts, we will 51 succeed. In a word, the key to success is our hard struggle. On the other hand, success may cause failure, too.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statementsFor each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information.AFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled- to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. Theyve studied the effect of state tax increase for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light King cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston , S,C , where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price is $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%, far below the nation average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, representatives from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “ who choose to smoke”.Thats true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of lowincome workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for todays adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.56. The passage is mainly about _A. the price of cigarettes B. the rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increase D. the differences in tobacco tax rate57. What does the author think is a surprise?A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.58. The underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_.A. discard B. remove C. benefit D. free.59. Rogers attitude towards the low- income smokers might be that of _.A. tolerance B. unconcern C. doubt D. sympathy60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B. Lowincome Americans are more likely to fall ill.C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D. Adults will depend more on their families.

Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said you should open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. We are so successful, we are opening a second store.” And they did in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” DeLuca says. And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal.” DeLuca adds.
