I wonder how they made it .They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didnt have too much time for us.I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white womans clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. Shed have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldnt bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh, they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finished bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasnt soap or water back home.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have .Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow Id be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white mans house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.51Mother got up at 6 a.m. every day, because she had to _.A. cook breakfast for her childrenB. catch the first bus to the factoryC. work in the white mans houseD. go to see a special baby doctor52Mother never told us to brush our teeth or to wash our hands because _.A. she thought we didnt need toB. we didnt like washing handsC. we had done everything very wellD. there was no soap or water in our home53Why did the writer hide in a closet when the landowner came for rent?A. The closet could only hold two kids.B. Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.C. They should pay more rent for two kids.D. There was only one bedroom for the two kids.54What does the writer mainly tell us?A. Black people lead a tough life.B. Black people are always laughed at.C. White people show no mercy to the blacks.D. White people have special rights.BWhile taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida a few weeks ago, I decided to tie up at Georgetown, South Carolina, for the night and visit with an old friend. As we approached the Esso dock, I saw him through my telescope standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood, facing a cold, biting windtruly a picture of a strong man, even though his next birthday will make him eighty-two. Yes, the man was our elder statesman(政治家), Bernard Baruch.We drove off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many famous people and statesmen, including Roosevelt and Churchill, have sat. In his eighty-second year, still a human dynamic person, Mr. Baruch talks not of the past but of present problems and the future, disapproving of and criticizing our ignorance of history, economics, and psychology. What is the secret of this great mans value to the world at eighty-one? The answer is his unsatisfied desire to keep being productive.Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room(更衣室) of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If abundant material were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind: “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest memories. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The great words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.55. The passage above is most probably taken from _.A. an autobiography B. a photography bookC. a science fiction D. a USA travel brochure56. We learn from the passage that Bernard Baruch _.A. was a statesman who was out of conditionB. held a positive attitude towards an active lifeC. was fond of associating with famous peopleD. kept a secret of the reason why he was so strong57. Which of the following is indicated in the 3rd and 4th paragraph?A. Wealth alone will bring people life-long happiness.B. Keeping being productive keeps a man alive.C. No way can be found to escape the realities of life.D. Its hard to judge a persons success.58. The writer develops the passage mainly by means of _.A. explanation and argumentB. description and discussionC. comparison and commentD. argument and analysis59. What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.CTwo enterprising graduates are selling advertising space on their faces to pay off a combined student debt of almost 50,000. Faced with a challenging job market, former Cambridge students Ed Moyse and Ross Harper are painting different company logos on to their faces.Anyone can buy the advertising space, from businesses to individuals or groups, on a day-to-day basis. The logos - which can be viewed at www.buymyface.co.uk - are then seen by everyone they pass as they go about their daily business.The graduates, who met on their first day at Selwyn College, Cambridge, started the business on October 1 and said they made 3,500 in the first 10 days. The boys said they are “armed only with massive student debt and a firm grasp of the principles of viral advertising” as they attempt to survive for a year merely on income earned by transforming themselves into walking advertisements.Mr. Harper, 21, from Greenwich, south London, who studied neuroscience, said, “ Its our untraditional way of paying off our student debt. The graduate job market is incredibly unfriendly, and so we thought wed try and go through it altogether. Weve seen so many students unsuccessfully applying for jobs, only to eventually settle in a career that they never really wanted. Its just something a bit different and has taken off quite nicely.”Mr. Moyse, 22, from Poole, Dorset, said, “It is well beyond our expectations, but we always knew it had value and is novel and crazy.” “So far, one of the main contributors has been online betting agency, Paddy Power,” Mr. Harper said. Mr. Moyse, who studied economics, and Mr. Harper came up with the idea after graduating in the summer as a scheme that would not require much investment.60The two graduates set up a business of selling advertising space on their faces because _.A. they both have handsome facesB. they have gained best educationC. they have student loan to repay D. they can possibly find no jobs61. The job they engage in now has _.A. made them very rich B. helped them to pay off the debtC. increased their confidenceD. met their wildest expectations62. Paddy Power might be the boys _.A. customerB. debtorC. investor D. designer63. The underlined word novel in paragraph 5 means _.A. fictional B. meaningfulC. unusualD. criticalDYou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out , or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionshi
