15、中选出最佳选项。 A Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York.，in 1852. His family was very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill

16、 for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the t

17、hings and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly

18、from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US an

19、d Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”31. Frank took a short business course in order to _. A. earn m

20、ore money for his family B. learn something from a salesman C. get away from the farm D. get enough to eat.32. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _.

22、were produced in one factory.34. _ made Woolworth a world-famous man. A. His business skills and his wealth B. The low price of the goods he sold C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives D. His natural skill for showing thingsBBottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy

23、 and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planets health, and peoples health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of

24、 a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottlesometimes more clean, sometimes not.”It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered In

25、stitution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content (含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less flu

26、oridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals (化学物质) into the water.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle

27、 water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down. In terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million

28、gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth, you can take the following steps. Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine. Get a container (容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it

29、 between uses. Keep it cool. Dont drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, dont store it near chemicals, and dont reuse plastic bottles. Choose glass containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle!35. What is the main idea of the article?A. Drinking tap water is the only ch

What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article?A. They break down in less than 300 years. B. They can be used for many o

According to the article, we can know that bottled water is _.A. no problem for the environment B. more expensive than tap waterC. always safer than tap water D. better for babies38.

It may contain fluoride. CWhen I was in high school, I spent some time as a teacher for a group of disabled students. There wer

34、hey used to bring rock and roll tapes to class with them. They became really excited and happy when they would play the music. Then we became good friends. When it came time to graduate, we were all trying to decide who to walk with when we received our diplomas (证书) during the ceremony. I chose to

35、ask my disabled friend Jim to be my partner. He was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. I thought more about the walk than the diploma itself. And as I walked next to Jim in his wheelchair, he received cheers from a hall full of people. I was so proud of him.I got a card from Jim soon afterw

36、ards, thanking me for the care and help that I had given to them both. Jim died soon after graduation. I attended his funeral (葬礼), along with our high school headmaster.
