She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 21 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 22 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 23 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her. But how could I help her 24 in with us? There had to be a 25 . One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 26 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 27 copy.I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 28 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 29 . “why, its wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 30 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just dont have enough 31 . Could you help me, Suzy?”On the day of the talent show, Suzys 32 were everywhere - all over the hall and all over the school, each one different. “And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) _33_award. Im sure youve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 34 them.”I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 35_ well?”Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 36_this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 37 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student - Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artists set. “Thank you,” she cried.I 38 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, shed probably never _39 anything in her whole life.Everyone started to 40 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defensing. I knew then Suzy was going to me all right.A21. A. jokedB. caredC. trainsD. worriedB22.

When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular” coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline (衰退) when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.41. According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales will _B_.A. decrease graduallyB. remain at the same levelC. become unstableD. improve enormously42. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is _A_.A. not easily accepted by the publicB. often inferior to old ones at firstC. often more expensive than old onesD. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes43. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to _B_.A. promote its productionB. work out marketing policiesC. speed up its life cycleD. increase its popularity44. The author mentions the example of “backpacks” (Line 4, Para. 2) to show the importance of _C_.A. pleasing the young as well as the oldB. increasing usage among studentsC. exploring new market sectionsD. serving both military and civil needs45. In order to recover their share of the world market, U.S. auto makers are _A_.A. improving product qualityB. increasing product featuresC. modernizing product styleD. re-positioning their product in the marketPASSAGE 2Im usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we cant turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. Its not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesnt have to ruin your life.46. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about peoples state of mind are _D_.A. surprisingB. confusingC. illogicalD. q
