    Dear Mandy，

    I'm not doing well in my lessons at school，especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard be­cause he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy，but it's not true. I work really hard，often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother，but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard，and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!

    The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad，all he said was，“ You mustn’t waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons! ”

    I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?

    Thanks a lot!

    Yours sincerely， Lisa

    D

    The world is filled with smart，talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage，and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．

    I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth．”

    There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke（破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers“ live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．

    When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people ．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．

    1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph that ．

    A．he is just one of the talented people

    B．he is ready to help others

    C．he has a sharp sense of hearing

    D．he knows little about car repairing

    2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ．

    A．spend more than they can afford

    B．do in their own way

    C．live in their own circle

    D．live within what they earn

    3.Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the author?

    A．They don’t work hard enough

    B．They lack financial intelligence

    C．They don’t make full use of their talents

    D．They have no specialized skills．

    4.The main purpose of the author is to tell us ．

    A．how young people can find a satisfactory job

    B．what schools should teach students

    C．why so many talented people are poor

    D．how McDonald’s makes much money

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    A

    Homonym: a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world, but a different meaning

    Same spelling, different meaning

    Imagine, then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have completely different meanings．Welcome to the world of homonyms．Take, for example, the word ‘fail’ --- it can be a kind of festival, and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game．

    Don’t take it literally

    So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to? --- You don’t, except by the context．Obviously, if someone asks you to ‘give them a hand’, they don’t want you to remove what is at the end of your arm．

    What’s in a name?

    Sometimes even the context doesn’t help much --- the result can be amusing．These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:

    I used to be a banker, but I lost interest．

    Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils?

    A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital．When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’．

    More ambiguity

    And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:

    I wondered why the ball was getting bigger．Then it hit me．

    No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation．

    A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat．

    Double trouble

    And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb, but have different meanings．Can you work this one out?

    Time flies like an arrow．Fruit flies like a banana．

    If you like these homonyms, you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!

    Explanations of jokes in the text

    I used to be banker, but I lost interest．(I became bored with the job / I lost money)

    Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils? (students / parts of his eyes)

    A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital．When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’．(no difference in the situation / no money)

    I wondered why the ball was getting bigger．Then it hit me．(the ball hit me / I suddenly realized)

    No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation．(became known / fell out)

    A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat．(can’t be better / difficult to mix with a fork)

    Time flies like an arrow．(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana． (insects enjoy eating fruit．)

    1.Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?

    A． They share the same spellings regardless of meanings．

    B． We can’t know their meanings without context．

    C． We may still feel confused even with context．

    D． Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life．

    2.The “beat” in the sentence “A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat, making for a satisfying breakfast．” has a similar meaning to _____．

    A． The rain was beating down on the tin roof．

    B． Taking the bus sure beats walking．

    C． The doctor could feel no pulse beating．

    D． You’ve been working too hard, you look dead beat．

    “Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression．When there wasn’t electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle．The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant．Now，it means such a person cannot compare or compete．

    Another expression is“hold your tongue．”It means to be still and not talk．“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend．But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child．

    The expression“hold up” has several different meanings．One is a robbery．A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up．Give me your money．”Another meaning is to delay．A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work．Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation．A story can hold up if it is proved true．

    “Hold on”is another expression，which means wait or stop．As you leave for school，your brother may say,“Hold on，you forgot your book．” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone．

    October 21 was a very dark day in Texas. Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes, it caused the largest business damage in Texas’s history. The worst thing is Hanna’s destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines. According to Center Point Energy, Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers. Currently, more than 4,000 of them are still in the dark. Crews have worked 16-hour shifts to restore power to residents.

    Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal. Schools, restaurants, retail stores and gas stations are open. Smiles are back. But harder-hit places, including Galveston, will take much longer to recover. Hundreds of people are still missing, and coastal towns are a mess. Some ruins from storm have drifted south to other beaches in Texas. Several public schools in Galveston are closed due to water damage. Parents are registering kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13. Many school supplies were destroyed.

    Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston, Texas. This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying. Believe it or not, Paula Reed and her family consider this hurricane a blessing. When Paula was a girl, she was an orphan, but was taken in by her stepmom, Antonia Flores. Reed lost contact with Flores and had been trying desperately to locate her for the past few years. Before the hurricane, Reed and her family moved away from Galveston to a San Antonio shelter. There, she reunited with Flores after 30 long years! The moment they saw each other, their lives were changed.

    1.What’s the most serious damage caused by Hurricane Hanna?

    A. Hundreds of people are still missing.

    B. A large number of people are homeless.

    C. Power facilities are severely destroyed.

    D. Factories are closed and many people jobless.

    A. at least one month

    B. at least three weeks

    C. two weeks at most

    4. Paula Reed and her family consider the hurricane a blessing because_______
