    When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,“I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspaper and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school.

     And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.

     Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.

     As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.

    After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.

    “Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.

    The passage is mainly about ___________.

    A. why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest man

    B. what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences had on his success

    C. how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude

    D. what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child

    Which of the following is true about Buffett?

    A. His worth is more than $ 55.5 billion now.

    B. He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.

    C. He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.

    D. He bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.

    How did Buffett behave at the stock market?

    A. He often prefers some inexpensive stocks.

    B. He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.

    C. He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.

    D. He will sell the stock if its price doesn’t go up.

    Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?

    A.  His education.                      B. His family background.

    C.  His desire to learn.                D. His cooperation with his partner.

    What can we infer from the passage?

    A. Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.

    B．Buffett and Gates are business partners.

    C．His father helped him a lot in his business.

    D．Buffett has a good sense of business.

    Methods of training animals have changed greatly in recent years. Zoo keepers have always had problems getting the animals to leave their cages in order for the cages to be cleaned, and also training them to move indoors when appropriate. Another problem was that many of the large animals became listless and bored. In the last twenty years, scientists have done research on dolphins and whales, training them to obey commands. The scientists found they could get animals to obey by rewarding them with food and affection when they responded correctly.?

    Proper training allows the animals to receive the care they need. It was very difficult to get untrained animals, especially the larger ones, to stay still when they needed medical attention. Now they can be trained, on command, to remain still and even to allow blood samples to be taken and shots administered. All this is accomplished through positive reinforcement, without the use of any force. Affection training, as this process is called, has been used with great success on a wide variety of zoo animals. Animal behavior experts have taught zoo keepers to train bears, tigers, monkeys, and many other species to behave in a way that provides for better animal-keeper interaction. This training also keeps the animals from becoming bored and inactive.?

    Although some people proclaim(谴责) that this training is inhumance and cruel to animals, results have shown that captive(猎获的)animals who previously were not doing well flourish under the new training procedures.?

    The word “listless” means _______.

    A. countless　B. obedient

    C. inactive      D. mysterious?

    Which of the following is valid conclusion based on this passage?

    A. It is safe to pet any animal.　?

    B. Many animals respond favorably to rewards and affection.?

    C. Animals in the wild can be trained.?

    D. Animals should not be kept in zoos.?

    The writer's purpose is to _______.

    A. persuade people not to feed animals in the zoo?

    B. show how easy it is to train animals?

    C. explain method of training animals through rewards?

    D. criticize zoo keepers?

    Which of the following is an opinion??

    A. Zoo keepers had problems in getting animals to leave their cages.?

    B. Training is cruel to animals.?

    C. Animals obey commands if they are trained to do so.?

    D. Many animals can be trained, on commands, to remain still.

    For Chinese wanting to work as nurses in the United Sates, the arrival of the test of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) may be a welcome move.
    The CGFNS has a certification programme for people wanting to work as registered nurses in the US. The first CGFNS test in China is to be held in Beijing in July. Registrations is open till April 9. According to US labour law, nurses have to pass the National Council License Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) before they can practise. However, the NCLEX-RN is only useful in the US, making it difficult for people from other countries to get in. But, the US expects a shortage of 50,000 nurses by 2010. So, the CGFNS has not replaced the NCLEX-RN, which is still needed for work as a registered nurse in the US.
    So what exactly does CGFNS do?
    First of all, it helps international nurses qualify for a work visa for the US. Nurses educated abroad who do not have a US license by the NCLEX-RN, must get the CGFNS certificate. “But not everyone who gets a CGFNS certificate can get a work visa. There are many requirements for a visa, and the CGFNS is just one,” said John Ratigan, immigration officer for the CGFNS.
    The certificate helps applicants meet requirements for the NCLEX-RN. Forty-two states require a CGFNS certificate from nurses educated abroad before taking the NCLEX-RN examination.
    About 85 percent of those who passed the CGFNS have passed the NCLEX-RN. According to Barbara Michols, chief executive officer of CGFNS, “the CGFNS is cost-efficient for the Chinese. If they can’t pass the CGFNS here in China, their chances of passing the NCLEX-RN for the US are tiny. This saves time and money on visa applications and the long trip. ” In a word, to get a CGFNS certificate, a person must have: a credentials review, the CGFNS qualifying exam of nursing knowledge and an English language proficiency exam.
    【小题1】   We can infer from the text that to people hoping to work as registered nurses in the US, CGFNS tests can be taken _____.

    A．nowhere but in the USB．somewhere outside the US
    C．in every country but the USD．both in China and the US
    【小题2】 According to American labour law, people cannot work as nurses until they pass                   _____.
    A．NCLEX-RNB．CGFNS
    C．CGFNS and NCLEX-RND．CGFNS or NCLEX-RN
    【小题3】We can learn from the text that _____.
    A．if you get a CGFNS certificate, you can pass the NCLEX-RN in the US and get visa
    applications
    B．if you pass the NCLEX-RN in the US, you can get a CGFNS certificate and get visa
    applications
    C．if you can't pass the NCLEX-RN in the US, you will not be able to pass the CGFNS
    examination
    D．if you get a CGFNS certificate, you will be more likely to pass the NCLEX-RN examination
    【小题4】The sentence "CGFNS holders have a higher rate of success on the NCLEX-RN examination" can be arranged at the beginning of Paragraph _____.
    A．Two B．Four C．Five D．Six
    【小题5】What is probably the best title of this passage?
    A．The CGFNS helps international nurses
    B．The first CGFNS test in China
    C．The CGFNS and the NCLEX-RN
    D．Working as registered nurses in the US

    In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

    So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

    Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.

    The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

    2.The underlined phrase“made it” means         .

    A. failed                                B. succeeded      C. gave       D. got

    3.The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems           .

    A. interesting                 B. difficult               C. deep           D. sorrowful

    4.The author tells you to do all the things EXCEPT ___.

    A. to think about the cause of your failure

    B. to check out whether your goals are right for you

    C. to consider failure as a part of life

    D. to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life

    5.Which of the following is NOT true?      

    A. Bruce and Edison were successful examples. 

    B. Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.

    C. Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.

The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

    Hope and Despair

Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
