For me, that person wore a tie with a Pizza Hut logo on it. I found my first and best mentor (良师益友)at a job in fast food.I started working at Pizza Hut when I was a freshman in high school. All new workers started by washing dishes and clearing tables. On the first night, there were so many dishes I needed to wash after I cleared the tables. My job was ended at 9:00 pm, but when I asked to leave, the manager Jeff refused, allowing me to go home after the work was done. I tried my best and stayed on dish duty for weeks. I asked Jeff when I could do something different. He promised if I did well in my job and didnt complain, the next week he would let me make table. And he did so.My relationships with those stepfathers were terrible, so Pizza Hut became not only my escape from home, but also a special home. In my real home, I felt changeable and out of control. At work, a path seemed clear: Work hard and do things correctly, and you will succeed. This model had not seemed possible before.Senior year arrived. I knew I would go to college though I loved the job. I told Jeff I wanted to apply to Boston University. He told me to leave work, and send application (申请)at once. I ended up with getting into Boston University, but I had never visited Boston. However, Jeff surprised me with a graduation present: a trip to Boston. While I was away, he was promoted (升职)and a different person was put in charge of the store. I went back to work anyway over winter vacation, but the magic was gone.Washing dishes for Jeff was busy and dirty work. But any of other jobs are not always enjoyable in themselves, either. The most I learned from that man in the Pizza Hut is that any job can be the best if you have the right boss.（1）What did new workers begin with at Pizza Hut? A . Selling PizzaB . Sweeping floor.C . Washing dishes.D . Making table.（2）Which of the following is the right order of the things that happened? a. The writer got into Boston University.b. The writer started working at Pizza Hut.c.

I told Jeff I wanted to apply to Boston University.B . In my real home, I felt changeable and out of control.C . Jeff surprised me with a graduation present: a trip to Boston.D . I started working at Pizza Hut when I was a freshman in high school.（4）What can we infer from the passage? A . The writer had a big happy family in Boston.B . Jeff was a little strict but very kind as a manager.C . The writer never complained from high school to university.D . Many people were willing to work with the boss like Jeff.3. （10分）阅读理解 Butterflies are common all over the world, but butterflies in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries, and they are more different kinds.Usually the male(雄性的)butterflies are more brightly colored than the females. The females have bigger and heavier bodies since they carry the eggs. The bright colors of the males help to attract the females, and the duller(较暗淡的)colors of the females make them less likely(可能的)to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.Some butterflies hare bright pattern colors on the upper surface of their wings that show when flying, but when they rest on a tree or leaves, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown marks which look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to be seen. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly. When its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf. When the butterfly is run after by a bird, it closes its wings and seems to have disappeared completely.Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. The round marks have a useful function(功能). When the butterflies are resting, their wings are closed, and these marks cant be seen. When a bird sees one, and begins to attack it, the butterfly will open its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, frightened, and flies away.（1）The female butterflies have bigger and heavier bodies than the males because _ . A . the females carry the eggsB . the females eat moreC . the males are more activeD . the males have smaller wings（2）The duller colors of the female butterflies _ . A . help to fly easilyB . help to attract the malesC . make them look fearful.D . make them harder to be caught（3）The underlined word that in Paragraph 3 refers to _ . A . their wingsB . pattern colorsC . green leavesD . some butterflies（4）When run after by a bird, the Dead Leaf Butterfly _ . A . is frightened and flies away at onceB . opens its eyes and stares at the birdC . closes its wings and seems to have goneD . opens its wings to frighten the bird away（5）The last paragraph mainly tells us _ . A . why the butterfly cannot be seenB . how the butterfly opens its wingsC . what the round marks look likeD . what the function of the round marks is4. （10分）阅读理解Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they cant do easily.

Wise man, he said. Can you give me one good reason why I shouldnt give up?The answer surprised him. Look2 you, the wise man said. Do you see the fern(蕨类植物) and the bamboo?Yes, the man said.When I planted the fern and the bamboo, I took very good care of them. So both of them got enough food and water.
