Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.” Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the worlds fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “Its people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.（1）Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that . A . the British people hate successB . the British people are hardworkingC . love of success is Britains national characterD . they are considered as “green eyed monsters”（2）What does the result of the Warwich Universitys test show. A . Two thirds of the people tested didnt love money.B . Most people would rather fail than see others succeed.C . An imaginary amount of money does not attract people.D . Most people are willing to enjoy success with others.（3）The writer of the passage seems to suggest that . A . jealousy is Britains national characterB . British entrepreneurs are not fairly treatedC . the scientists at Warwich University did a successful testD . the entrepreneurs in the UK do not behave properly（4）The best title for this article can be . A . Be More Modest and We Will Love You MoreB . Proud EntrepreneursC . The Frenchmen are Romantic While The British are HostileD . Only Pains but No Gains3. （8分）阅读理解The designer of the Apple Computer,Steve Jobs,was not quite successful in his early years.He was not among the best students at school,and from time to time he got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers.But he was full of new ideas,which few people saw the value of them.

A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too muchand nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.And talking isnt even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22 of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phones screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever beforeUsing a mobile phone while driving puts others lives at risk. No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when youre in troubleBut there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own. （1）The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A . phone usersB . mobile phonesC . driversD . ears（2）According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phoneA . 12B . 13C . 14D . 15（3）According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?DangerousMore dangerousMost dangerousA . drinkingtalking on phonetextingB . textingtalking on phonedrinkingC . talking on phonedrinkingtextingD . drinkingtextingtalking on phone（4）Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?A .

People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.（5）According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?A . They should be put into prison (监狱).B .
