The manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test.” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and Ill send you the form(表格) to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied. “But I dont have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “Im sorry,” said the manager. “If you dont have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isnt living cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didnt know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He did this again and again for three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. At last, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队).Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I havent got one.” His friend couldnt believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, Id be an office boy at Microsoft!”1.

CThe manager didnt like the man.BMost people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons (西瓜), but some Japanese sellers do. There is often wasted space when they store (贮存) watermelons, because round watermelons do not sit nicely on shelves. So some clever farmers have solved the watermelon problem. They make their watermelons grow in square glass boxes so the watermelons become square. The only problem now is the price. The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars each.Many people know the saying Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you. Well, today the poem needs to change to Roses are red, roses are blue! Australian scientists have just recently discovered that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose, they can create a nearly 100% blue rose. Some of sciences inventions are beautiful, not just useful!Since the mid-1990s, many Chinese farmers have had amazing rice harvests. For many years Chinese scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a new kind, called super rice. Super rice not only can protect itself against insects(昆虫) and diseases, but it also produces more than any other kind of rice. Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more rice than they could grow in the past.Doctors might be able to use vegetables to fight cancer now. US scientists have discovered a way to put a chemical into tomato plants while they are growing. When cancer patients eat the tomatoes, the tomatoes will fight the cancer in their bodies. These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale, because scientists have not finished testing them. If study finds no problems with the tomatoes, then patients can begin to use this easy and delicious new treatment.5 The square watermelons look like .A. B. C. D. 6. find a way to make blue roses.A. Chinese scientistsB. Australian scientistsC. American scientistsD. Japanese farmers7. Which of the following is true?A. Super rice can keep itself from insects.B. Blue roses are more beautiful than red ones.C. The tomatoes can fight many kinds of diseases.D. The square watermelons cost less than ordinary ones.8. The main idea of this passage is .A. how scientists discover new plantsB. how science makes plants produce moreC. how science has changed plants and peoples livesD. how technology makes our world more beautifulCIve been living in China for a while long enough to observe the long-term deterioration (退化)of my own native language abilities, as well as those of my fellow English speakers. This deterioration can take different forms, one of which is the non-standard usage of the words. Its source is, specifically, Chinese culture, and its target is native English speakers. Below I givesome of the common ways that the Chinese environment strikes down the native speakers language ability .Net bar: In Chinese, theyre called “网吧”, This is fine. We generally call them Internetcaf” in English. The Chinese seem to think tha t “网吧” should be translated as “net bar” inEnglish, and many careless foreigners have even been misl ed by this idea.Name card: In the English-speaking world, business people have lots of business meetings t o discuss business. On these occasions, business people exchange specially printed pieces of paper known as business cards. In China everyone calls them “name cards”, because in Chinese they are called “名片” and “name card” is a more direct translation .Bean curd: Its called “tofu,” OK! This English word comes from Chinese. I know all dictionaries sold in China will tell you “豆腐 ” is “bean curd” in English and that may represent thetwo characters nicely, but “bean curd” is more a definition than a comfortable translation. And yet some foreigners start saying “bean curd” rather than tofu. Deplorable (可悲的)！I think you see the pattern. The normal native way of saying something is replaced by a more unnatural way of saying it using other English words.If youve been living in China for a while and find yourself using all of these, you might be on dangerous ground. Youre going to start making a fool of yourself back home. Look out! ResistChinglish attempts at destroying your own command of your mother tongue!9. Which of the following expressions is more native?ABean curdBTofuCName cardDNet bar 10.How does the writer support his main idea?ABy comparisonBBy examplesCBy reasoningDBy refutation (反驳)11. What is the main cause of the non-standard usage of the words by native English speakers?A. Chinese cultureB. Chinese traditionC. English flexibility(灵活性)D. Chinese polluted environment12. The mentioned Chinglish words are created in the way . Athat is generally accepted by native English speakersB. that is often misunderstood by native English speakersC. that sounds reasonable to native English speakersD. that sounds natural to some ChineseDLie in bed, by an open window, and listen“No air conditioning? How can you sleep?” a friend asks, horrified. I tell her my family has d ecided to shut the air conditioner off and reduce our electric bill.On this first night of our cost-cutting adventure, its only 85 degrees. Were not going to suffe r, but the three kids complain anyway.Theyve grown up in 72-degree comfort, protected from the world outside.“Its too hot to sleep,” my 13-year-old daughter complains. “Im about to die from this heat,” her brother complains down the hall. “Just try it tonight,” I tell them. In truth Im tootired to argue for long. My face is sweaty, but I lie quietly listening to the cricket choirs(合唱) outside that remind me of childhood.The neighbors dog howls. Probably a passing squirrel. Its been years since Ive taken the tim eto really listen to the night.I think about Grandma, who lived to 92 and still helped with my Moms gardening until just a fewweeks before she died. And then, Im back there at her house in the summer heat of my childh ood.I move my pillow to the foot of Grandmas bed and angle my face toward the open window. I turn the pillow, hunting for the cooler side.Grandma sees me turn over and over. “If youll just wat ch for the breeze(清风),” she says,“youll cool off and fall asleep.” She cranks up the Venetian blinds(百叶窗). I stare at the filmy white curtain, willing it to move. Lying still, waiting, I uddenly notice the life outside thewindow. The bug chorus. Neighbors, porch-sitting late, speak in unclear words that calm me.“Mom, did you hear that?” my seven-year-old son cries. “I think it was an owl family.” “Prob ably,” I tell him. “Just keep listening”Without the working air conditioner, the house is oddly peaceful, and the unfiltered(未过滤的) night noises seem close enough to touch. I hope Im awake tonight when the first breeze sneaks in.13. What is the point the writer wants to make in the passage?A. We should learn to save electricity.B. A peaceful mind is important in modern life.C. We should care about the outside world rather than ones inner world.D. Modern men live too comfortable a life.14. The author talks about her grandmother and her childhood to show that A. people used to live a hard life.B. people at that time were hardworking.C. she has learned a great deal from her grandmaD. its OK for people to live a simple life.15. Which of the following title best suits the passage?A. Waiting for the BreezeB. An interesting ExperienceC. Life at Present and Life in the PastD.
