Passage 10 (答案1-5:ABDBC)

I was 15 when I walked into McCarley Bookstore and began to look over the titles of the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.

I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the U.S Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.

One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried and I‘ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.

Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket.

I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free.

I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, ―Thank you.‖ I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward. At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for the customers, not just for the store. Today it‘s the same. NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience in McCarley Bookstore helped me find a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself. 1. How did the author get the job in McCarley Bookstore? A. He happened to walk into the shop and got it by chance. 16

B. He had always wanted to have a job in that bookstore and he succeeded. C. He liked reading books, so tried to get a job there.

D. He did not go to school, so he looked for a job when he was 15.

2. According to the author, selling books was one of the most satisfying job experiences, because ____________.

A. he only had to work after school and got good wages B. it helped him understand the world and himself C. it helped him pay for his freshman year of college D. he did not feel that he was working for the store

3. After he helped the fearful lady looking for books on cancer, the author was ____________. A. worried about her B. less worried about her C. unable to forget her D. proud of himself 4. The author decided to help the poor boy by ____________. A. persuading his boss to do the story on TV

B. persuading his boss to let him do the story on TV C. asking a doctor to perform the operation for free

D. visiting the boy in the recovery room after the operation

5. The main reason that the author thinks his present job is the same as the one in the bookstore is ____________.

A. it gives him salary B. it makes him feel excited C. it helps people make sense of the world D. it enables him to work

Passage 14(答案1-5:CBDBC)

Until the twentieth century cigarette smoking was not a widespread habit．The cigarette industry started in the 1870's with the development of cigarette manufacturing machines．It helped produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly and reduced the price greatly．And consequently more and more people,both men and women,began to smoke cigarettes．Men as a group,however,smoke more than women．But the highest proportion of smokers are found in the age group of 24 -44．regardless of sex difference．
