It was a bright spring afternoon when Freda told me she wouldn’t need me any more. I had just finished my four-hour work - 36  up and down the stairs of her three-storey home, cleaning the floor and washing the dished. She was  37 jeans and a sweater. Sitting at the table I had just   38 a pile of papers spread around her. Her husband’s 39   was going to be reduced by thirty percent. And they were trying to live as if it had 40  happened. I felt sorry for her, but I also felt a sense of   41 .
I had been cleaning Freda’s house for five years and had   42  an unexpected relationship with the family. It was not just   43  I had become an expert at scraping(刮掉)dirt stuck to their wooden floor.   44  that I had learned exactly how to place toys on the girls’ beds. It was   45  than that, for I felt I had become a part of their    46 .
Freda stayed at home with the kids,   47 I would often see her in the morning 48
them to school. And I’d be there when they   49  home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice. I had   50  them grow up. Now I was fired, but the   51 thing was that I still wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for the family.   
I left Freda’s  52  relationship with my clients(主顾). Who am I  53 them? As a matter of fact. I’m   54  an employee - the lowest kind of employee. But I’m also a trusted  55  of the family. I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.

There’s no shortage of web sites offering deals-everything from daily deals to members-only private sales. But when it comes to real jaw-dropping deals, there’s one company that seems to have figured out a way to really deliver.
The company is called Quibids and they auction(拍卖)the hottest, in-demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods, as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers(零售商). Unlike other sites, the prices people pay are nowhere near retail. How low are the prices?
$ 33.84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB(retail $ 600)
$ 22.10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera(retail $ 1070)
Our first reaction on seeing these prices was disbelief. After all, how could Quibids possibly afford to sell these items for so little ---- surely they must be losing a lot of money.
That’s where its unique business model comes into play. You see, for every bid a buyer places for an item on Quibids, the company collects a small fee from the bidder. The fee to bid is only about 60 cents, but based on the volume of sales and bids, the company is able to collect enough to make up for the ridiculous prices the items sell for.
But best of all, participating in the Quibids auction is incredibly fun. Because each bid costs a little to place, shoppers can strategize when to place their bids. Each auction has a strict time limit. When you place your bid, the system adds a little time to the auction to see if any other bids come in. If you have the winning bid when the clock runs out ---- you win the item for that price.
But the best part of Quibids may be the “Buy-It-Now” feature. This allows bidders who did not win an auction to still buy the product they want and apply the cost of the bids they placed as a discount on the regular product price. So you still get the item and the bids you placed previously in the auction don’t cost you anything!
小题1:According to the passage, the success of Quibids mainly lies in          .
A.how its buying and selling is conducted B.the change in people’s shopping model
C.the quality of the goods and serviceD.their willingness to risk losing money
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that          .
A.other retailers will be out of business B.winning a bid is not just a matter of luck
C.Quibids only sell popular electronicsD.the prices on Quibids are the lowest
小题3:A buyer who bid twice for a $ 20 MP4 can get one from “Buy-It-Now” for          .
A.$ 21.2B.$ 20C.$ 19.4D.$ 18.8
小题4:Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Buy Products for Next to Nothing B.How to Buy New Must–have Electronics
C.The Most Successful Shopping WebsiteD.Tips on Shopping Online

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before, ” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达). ” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don, t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don, t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you, re in touch with won, t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
小题1:What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?
A.People can tell good from bad behavior.
B.Radar is able to observe human behavior.
C.People care little about their behavior.
D.Radar can be used to predict human behavior.
小题2:Some people are less willing to deal with humans because
A.they are becoming less patient
B.they are growing too independent
C.they have to handle many important messages
D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.
小题3:The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is
A.RidiculousB.disgustingC.acceptableD.reasonable
小题4:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.We should applaud good behabior.
B.Technology can neber be blamed
C.We should keep pointing out mistakes.
D.Technology will take over lives one day.

A. Adults keep pets with their children
B. Pet keeping has a very long history
C. Pet-keeping may do hard to animals
D. People keeps pet for their aesthetic need
E. Caged pets become increasingly popular
F. Pet-keeping is helpful for children’s growths
小题1:___________ 
Pet-keeping is a time-honored tradition. One of the reasons for people to raise to raise dogs or cows was usefulness. While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards, the civilized man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).
小题2:___________ 
We keep animals as pets because they are attractive. We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic value, and that is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture. Keeping pets is one form of this urge. A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative objective. Pets are playful animals and they amuse us. A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs.
小题3:___________ 
Many parents find it helpful to have pets in  their house and for their children. Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility. Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibility for another creature’s life. It will be an educational experience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal. There are psychological benefits for children. Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely. Pets are excellent companions. Keeping pets means giving love and being loved. We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return. We get pleasure from their appreciation and their behavior.
小题4: ___________ 
As more people move into apartments, there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys. Therefore, caged animals have increased in popularity. Birds fall into this type. We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers. Fishing keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle. The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage. They are wonderful hunters, if there are rats around.
小题5:___________ 
Pets satisfy man’s desire to care for a bit of nature. The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs nature provides. Pets are amusing and entertaining, but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment. Are we not enslaving(奴役)them?

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids' too. But at least I wasn't alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or less—not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You're right, our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children think I am mean because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.
小题1:What does the sentence “But at least I wasn't alone in my sufferings.” mean?
A.The author's mother was only mean to her.
B.The author's mother suffered her.
C.The author's mother was mean to her sister, brothers and her.
D.The author wasn't alone because of suffering.
小题2:Why was the author's mother mean to her children?
A.Because she wanted her children to be top students in school.
B.Because she wanted her children to bring home colored report cards like her friends did.
C.Because she wanted her children to drop out.
D.Because she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens.
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Some of the children weren't able to go to college because of their mean mother.
B.Mother didn't let the author tell lies.
C.Mother asked the author to wear clean clothes.
D.The author could not miss school even if she was ill.
小题4:The passage was written in a way of _______ tone?
A.humorousB.hatefulC.ridiculousD.critical

Christmas is long gone. and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it's a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here fife a few things you need to know:
What determines price?
The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l 8K. Anything over l 8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.
How much can you expect to pay?
That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(宝石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:
●How long has the company been around?
●What is its return policy?
● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?
● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?
Yellow gold? White? Rose?
Yes, it's confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there fife a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “look for less”, consider gold. plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best.
What about sterling silver(标准纯银)?
Sterling silver has been。an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver--something you used to see only with gold.
Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box.
小题1:According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A.being chargedB.being cheatedC.being affected D.being attracted
小题2:Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time?
A.A 14K necklace. B.A gold-plated ring.
C.A vermeil ear ring. D.A gemstone necklace.
小题3:We call infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept ________
A.in a dry placeB.in a cold placeC.in a wet placeD.in a hot place
小题4:The author writes the passage mainly to ________.
A.encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry
B.tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver
C.introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver
D.inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelry

The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination. Such a vehicle proved of quite enough size of the teacher’s belongings, for his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired the skill of playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him.
The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He didn’t mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.
The blacksmith, the carpenter and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first.
A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, “Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you’ve found a place to settle in, sir.”
“Good idea,” said the blacksmith. The smith and the carpenter started to see about possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.
“Sorry I am going, Jude?” asked the latter kindly.
Tears rose into the boy’s eyes. He admitted that he was sorry.
“So am I,” said the teacher. He continued, “Well---don’t speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark(标志) of a man who want to do anything in teaching. My plan, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to Christminster, I shall be at headquarters(总部), so to speak, and if my plan is practical at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.”
The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawly’s fuel-house was big enough, and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.
小题1:The teacher purchased the instrument to ___________________.
A.teach his students instrumental music
B.better equip the village school
C.learn to play it himself
D.let students appreciate elegant art of music
小题2: It seemed that the teacher __________________.
A.was not getting on well with the headmaster
B.had lived a rather simple life in the village
C.was likely to continue to practise playing the piano
D.was tired of teaching
小题3: Why did the teacher leave for Christminster?
A.Because he was admitted to a university there.
B.Because he was offered a temporary job with better pay there.
C.Because he preferred the life in a big city to that in a village.
D.Because he thought he had better chance to attend university there.
小题4:Which of the following can be inferred from the text?
A.The teacher was torn between the eagerness to go to the city and his love for the village.
B.The teacher was going into a temporary place in Christminster at first.
C.The teacher moved his piano into the fuel-house with the help of some other people.
D.The teacher had so much belongings that he had to borrow a cart.
小题5:The motivation of the teacher’s moving lay in his ___________.
A.devotionB.admirationC.inspirationD.ambition
