A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream as well as for developing over 75 flavors（味道）.Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream. Right ? No theres more to the job than that; says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?” Next its time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy working at one cool job.41.What is John Harrisons job?A. An official.B. An ice cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice cream manufacturer.42.According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the“cool field”, it is helpful to .A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day43.What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the colour of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.44.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with Eyes. B. Flavors of Ice Cream.C. John Harrisons Life.D. One Cool Job.(B)If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Porter J.K Rowlings wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good childrens books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings.Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didnt like reading at all. In 2020, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation either this year reported that children on the school made 20 months progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well ,but read less often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.45Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?AMany childrens books have been adapted from films.BMany high-quality childrens books have been published.CThe sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.DThe sales of presents for children have increased.46Statistics suggested that_.Athe number of top students increased with the use of computersBa decreasing number of children showed interest in readingCa minority of primary school children read properlyDa huge percentage of children read regularly47What do we know about Reading Recovery?AAn evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.BWeak readers on the project were the most hardworking.CIt aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.DChildren on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.48Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _.Atake greater advantage of the projectBshow the potential to enjoy a long lifeCare likely to succeed in their education.Dwould make excellent future researchers49The arm of this text would probably be _.Ato overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty.Bto encourage the publication of more childrens booksCto remind children of the importance of reading for funDto introduce a way to improve early children reading( C )The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”50. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _.A. is willing to help those in need without payB. can afford to travel to different placesC. has a strong wish to be successfulD. has made a big fortune in life51. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _.A. after she met Mother Teresa B. after she finished high schoolC. when she was touring Calcutta D. when she was working in a hospital52. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.B. She had already had some experience.C. She was asked by Mother Teresas example.D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresas example.53. What is Tracys “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?A. Going abroad to help the sick.B. Working in Mother Teresas home.C. Doing simple things to help the poor.D. Improving oneself through helping others.(D)Danielle Steel, Americas sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(资源)and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独特的)style. There is only one Danielle Steel.54. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that _A. she can write several books at the same timeB. she often does some research before writing a bookC. she is one of the most popular American women writersD. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break55. Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know _A. how to deal with affairs at schoolB. what to do if Max and Martha dieC. what to do when new babies are born into their familiesD. how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes56. One of Danielle Steels achievements is that _A. some TV plays were based on her booksB. her picture books attracted a lot of young menC. one of her books became a best-seller in 1998D. she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records（E）Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as“successful”as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor c
