    Aria Ricardo was a beautiful, slim young woman with dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. She used to work as a model and earn as much as $ 2,000 in one day in front of the camera. She modeled for top magazines in Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and throughout the United States.

    Aria’s father, now retired because of a disability, was a police officer who really loved his work. Aria would rather follow in her father’s footsteps than pursue her modeling career. She remembered listening to her father tell stories when he came home after a day on the beat. The excitement, tensions and risks of police work appealed to her.

       Aria got started in the modeling business quite by accident. She accompanied a friend to an interview at a modeling agency. Her friend wanted the job, while Aria didn’t. The people at the agency were impressed with Aria’s appearance and poise. They knew she’d be brilliant in front of the camera. So they sent her on her first modeling job—for Seventeen magazine—right away.

       While she was successful as a model, Aria never gave up her dream of being a police officer. She passed the written exam for the New York Police Department. She planned to enter the Police Academy as quickly as possible. Her family and friends thought she was out of her mind even to consider such a thing. Police work was dangerous and the pay couldn’t compare to a top model’s income. But Aria knew what she wanted, and she went for it. She had never really intended to be a model anyway. Finally she hooked her fish. 

    Aria’s success as a model resulted from _______.

         A．her desire to succeed in it           B．her looks and shape

         C．the help of her father             D．the competition with her friend

    Aria went into modeling because _______.

       A．she wanted to earn more money            

           B．she wanted to accompany her friend

         C．she was given an unexpected opportunity

         D．she was very beautiful

    Aria’s family would like her to _______.

         A．remain a model                      B．do whatever she liked 

         C．find something challenging             D． follow her father’s footsteps

    Aria Ricardo probably is a ______ now.

         A．photographer working for a magazine   B．student of the Police Academy

         C．top model of a world company        D．woman police officer

    Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.

    But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.

    Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.

    Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “ Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

    1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

    A．Edison invented the electric light.

    B．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.

    C．Edison has changed the life of many other people.

    D．Few men in history can change other people’s life.

    2. Edison thought              .

    A．he could be happy if he was a genius

    B．genius plays the most important part in one’s success

    C．hard work could do better than genius

    D．genius could do better than hard work

    3. Edison was              .

    A．very much interested in nature

    B．interested in discovering the secrets of nature

    C．interested in changing people’s ideas

    D．uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature

    4.In Edison’s opinion,            .

    A．thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help

    B．people’s success lies mostly in genius

    C．hard work is the second important thing in making people successful

    D．there are few secrets for him to discover later

         Scientists warn today that the Atlantic bluefin tuna(金枪鱼)faces disappearance unless certain
    action is taken. They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the
    Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi
    and sandwiches with tuna worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.
         The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres in length and weigh as much as
    700kg. A good one can fetch as much as ? 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets. "In my lifetime,
    we've brought this big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean," said Barbara
    Block of Stanford University in California. "The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientific
    information we've ever had to manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start
    to act actively to make sure of the future of this fish. "
          Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannot be as good as before. There
    are fewer and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have
    pushed further offshore in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna-in the Mediterranean and Japan-have
    been under increasing pressure for years. The International Commission on the Conservation of
    Atlantic Tuna has tried to manage the fish since 1969．There are two populations: a western one
    that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger, eastern population. Although catches
    are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000 in the east, no one knew
    whether the limits worked.
          So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to
    depths of more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement,
    body and water temperatures. "There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna-protect them
    in their production grounds and in their feeding grounds," Prof. Block said. "This will need immediate
    action in both the central Atlantic, to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of
    Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna produce as separate populations. "
    1. The bluefin tuna in this passage mainly refers to the one _______.
    A．in the Atlantic
    B．in the Pacific  
    C．in the Gulf of Mexico  
    D．in the Mediterranean
    2. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
    A．The bluefin tuna is a kind of large and heavy fish.
    B．The number of the bluefin tuna in the sea is getting smaller and smaller.
    C．Scientists are worried about the future of the tuna.
    D．Scientists think that the harvest of the seas will remain good.
    3. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A．tell people a new way has been found to save the bluefin tuna
    B．call for action to save the bluefin tuna  
    C．warn people not to eat tuna sandwiches anymore
    D．help scientists to find a new way to save the bluefin tuna

         You can never be too sure these days in the United States of your neighbours or even your customers! Try to keep a low amount of attention from the public in your neighborhood: don't announce to just about
    everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. As much as possible, don't invite customers or visitors to your home. In fact I know of some home-based businessmen who would rather meet their clients in a neutral ground, e.g. the client's office or even Starbucks.
         There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house.
         ●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars.
         ●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can
    often bring down the cost of your homeowner's insurance fees.
         ●Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep
    at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or
    top of the doorframe.
         ●Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an "exit-only deadbolt" is an deadbolt that doesn't have an external(外部的)key. It's clearly visible
    on the door from the outside, but can't be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself.
    While the security won't help directly when you aren't home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from
    trying the door.
         ●Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal.
    1. The advice given by the writer in the passage focuses on __________.  
    A. what to do when your house is broken into
    B. how to make your house safer from burglars    
    C. how to improve social security in the United States
    D. how to run a home business
    2. Some home-based entrepreneurs don't invite customers to their home _____.
    A. to enjoy convenience outside their home
    B. in order to avoid being seen by burglars
    C. not to let others know their business
    D. for reasons of their property safety
    3. All of the following are part of the writer's advice except that the homeowner ________.
    A. buy a security alarm and turn it on in the evening
    B. keep lights on in all rooms to threaten burglars
    C. have the doors made of solid hardwood or heavy metal
    D. fix an extra lock on the door from inside
    4. What does the underlined word "intruder" most probably mean in this passage?  
    A. Someone who illegally enters the home.
    B. Someone who is invited to visit.
    C. Someone who pays regular visits to the home.
    D. Someone who tries to destroy the lock.
