Some people don’t like the number 13. They don’t think 13 is a lucky or good number. For example（比如）, they don’t like to live（居住） on the 13th floor（楼）.
My friend Mary is one of them. She asks some friends to her home. All of her friends get to her home. They sit at the table. Then Mary counts, “One, two, three ...oh, my God! There are thirteen people here!” Everybody’s face(脸) turns white, but Mr. Brown doesn’t. He says, “Don’t worry（别担心）, dear friends! We have fourteen people here. My wife will have a baby next week. She is in the family way now. ”
All of them become happy again. “Congratulations（恭喜）!” they say to Mr. and Mrs. Brown. They enjoy the nice food（享用美食） and have a good time this evening.
【小题1】The underlined word “lucky” means “________” in Chinese.

解析试题分析：有些人不喜欢数字13。他们不认为13是一个幸运的数字。例如,他们不喜欢生活在13楼。我的朋友玛丽就是其中之一。她请一些朋友到她家。她带她所有的朋友回家。他们坐在桌子上。然后玛丽数:“一,二,三……哦,我的上帝!这里有13人!“每个人的脸都白,但是布朗先生没有。他说,“别担心,亲爱的朋友!我们这里有14人。我的妻子将在下周有个小孩。她现在怀孕了。”他们变得开心了。“恭喜恭喜,布朗先生和夫人!”他们说。他们享用美食,今晚玩得很开心。
【小题1】词义猜测题。 根据后面的good可知，Lucky意为幸运的。故选A。
【小题2】细节理解题。由“ There are thirteen people here!” Everybody’s face(脸) turns white...”可知因为他们有13个人所以才脸色变白。故选A。
【小题3】细节理解题。由“My wife will have a baby next week. ”可知布朗先生的妻子怀孕了。故选D。
【小题4】细节理解题。由“They enjoy the nice food（享用美食） and have a good time this evening.”可知聚会发生在晚上。故选C。
【小题5】细节理解题。由“Everybody’s face(脸) turns white, but Mr. Brown doesn’t.”可知只有布朗先生的连没有变白。故选C。

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression(印象) from the first day. You’ll face new people. You will be in a new place.
It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:
1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
2. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
5. Never be the first one to leave. Watch what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间). It does not look good for you to be eager(急切) to leave.
【小题1】Before you arrive at work, you should __________.
| A．dress in a right way |
| B．introduce yourself |
| C．know your duties |
| D．know your co-workers well |
| A．You should be the first one to arrive at work. |
| B．You should ask your co-workers for your duties. |
| C．You should not be eager to go back home. |
| D．You are required to arrive 15 minutes earlier. |
| A．visitor | B．teacher | C．workmate | D．Leader |

After watching the film “Lost in the trip to Thailand”(泰囧), I went to the country with my best friend, Sandy. The following is my diary about the trip.
Saturday, March 24th

Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, wanted to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching(调查) the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the whole $ 100, 000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.
The store broke even in its first year, with only $ 120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $ 420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $ 34,000.
“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”
【小题1】 After Mary got well from her illness they began _________.
| A．to study industrial management (工业管理) |
| B．to buy and read more mystery books |
| C．to do market research on book business |
| D．to work harder to save money for the bookstore |
| A．They had to borrow money to keep it going. |
| B．They made just enough to cover all the costs. |
| C．They succeeded in earning a lot of money. |
| D．They failed though they worked hard. |
| A．to pay for children’s education |
| B．to get to know more writers |
| C．to set up more bookstores |
| D．to do what they like to do |

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains(痛苦), and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(责任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society(社会) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position(地位) in society.
【小题1】What is the happiest person according to the passage?
| A．A child who can do whatever he likes. |
| B．An old person who lives in a comfortable life. |
| C．A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him. |
| D．A person who never wastes his time in his whole life. |
| A．Life for a child is fairly easy. |
| B．A child is always loved whatever he does. |
| C．If much is given to a child, he must do something in return. |
| D．Only children are interested in life. |
| A．Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains. |
| B．Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard. |
| C．Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life. |
| D．One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life. |
| A．Examples of successful young men. |
| B．How to build up one’s position in society. |
| C．Joys and pains of old people. |
| D．What to do when one has problems in life. |
