Every year its the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.Heres a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though its so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we cant find any excuse not to do it.”“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War II, American factory managers were able toincrease productivityby trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding（重建） Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”. Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.（1）At the end of December, people usually _A . plan for the last.B . fail to make big changes.C . try to lose their ideas.D . think about the new year.（2）Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us _A . we should do everything in big steps.B . how to find a small step without any excuse.C . we should try a lot of sudden changes.D . how to change ones life with one small step.（3）The writer of the passage suggests we should _A . take a tiny step to achieve big goals.B . make changes at the end of the year.C . do few experiments with “ kaizen”.D . do things with hard-to-achieve goals.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . You cant find any excuse not to reach a big goal.B . You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy.C . “Kaizen” was brought to Japan during World War ID . Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful.28. （10分）阅读理解Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they dont all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks coffee shops spread across the country.The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shops business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment（设备）. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired （雇佣）Schultz as the companys head of marketing(市场营销).In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso（浓 咖啡） bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.（1）The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably meansA . closedB . managedC . leftD . sold（2）Whats the Chinese meaning of the underlined words “coffee makers” in Paragraph 3? A . 咖啡壶B . 咖啡制造人C . 咖啡制品D . 咖啡制造商（3）According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences?a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.b.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.c.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.d.Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.A . a-b-d-cB . c-a-b-dC . b-d-c-aD . d-c-a-b（4）Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas? A . Because the coffee in these places was too expensive.B . Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same.C . Because the people like to drink coffee at home with friends.D . Because there were too many coffee shops in one place.（5）Whats the best title for the passage? A . The History of StarbucksB . The Culture of StarbucksC . The Popularity of StarbucksD . The Environment of Starbucks29. （10分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。I like visiting museums on weekends. In them I can see lots of interesting things. In London there are lots of museums.
