Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again.
The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes."
Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching (画) figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称)pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he'll have even more work in the future.
Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.
1.From the text, we know that Herrera ______.
A. can make snowflakes with his daughter's help
B. made more complicated designs before 2013
C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011
D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes
2.Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______
A. he has to design detailed and different patterns
B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting
C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting
D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like
3.By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.
A. offer us more information about Herrera’s paper cutting
B. tell us how to download picture of snowflakes
C. instruct people to be a real creative artist
D. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs

Many years ago, I went through a tough time.One afternoon, I picked my girls up.It was late when we returned home.I went to unlock the door and found my key wouldn’t go in.I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight.When she returned with it we found somehow the lock had been “stuffed” with sunflower seed shells.Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good, I really didn’t give it much consideration.
I found all windows were locked up tight.So I returned to the back door.Oh my God, I will never forget the shock of that moment.The house was empty!Other than a few things remaining on the back porch, everything was gone!Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up.They inquired why I had broken into the house.They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address, so I asked them to wait a minute while I went to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house.I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock.
At this point they were not buying any of my story.I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to sleep.
I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call.The owner was quite shocked to hear my story.She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction(驱逐)process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case.She had been ordered to move by 10 am on that date.The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1/2 of the rent and a deposit of $300,000.
The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do.The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend.
The officers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car.They were both exhausted and old.Also very frightened, because they thought their mamma was going to jail.I had to pull over because the tears took control.I couldn’t believe it!Everything we owned was gone, I had used up all our money moving in and paying my “friend” our share of costs.I knew very few people in town, as we had just moved there recently.
I went to sit back in the car with the girls, I talked to the girls, explaining our situation to them so that they wouldn’t be afraid.During this time there was a “street person” with a bag, looking in the garbage for cans, bottles, and anything that might bring him some cash.But I didn’t pay much attention to him.I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast.We grabbed some bread, and chips and returned for a “picnic”.When we got there, I noticed that the man was not alone.He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat amongst themselves.
I was busy setting up our little “picnic” when I heard a voice saying, “MaAm, please excuse… but…well…I overheard the situation you are in, and well… I and the fellows took up a collection for you and your little girls.It’s not very much, but maybe it’ll help a little.” I looked up at this man---dirty, needing a shave ----and saw the face of an angel.I started crying.The man tried to hand me $30.I folded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could.I told him, “Thank you for your more than generous offer, but we are going to be just fine.” He didn’t believe me at first, but I convinced him that it was okay.
Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park.It didn’t take us very long to find those gentlemen and invite them to join us for lunch.I had a wonderful afternoon that day, sitting there with those old guys, singing songs.They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had.They shared themselves… from the heart.

It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000.
But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.
DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
1.DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ______.
A. support his family
B. pay for his college education
C. help his partner expand business
D. do some research
2. What can we learn about their first shop?
A. It stood at an unfavorable place.
B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C. It made no profits due to poor management.
D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.
3.They decided to open a second store because they _______.
A. had enough money to do it
B. had succeeded in their business
C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D. wanted to make believe that they were successful
4.What contribute most to their success according to the author?
A. Learning by trial and error.
B. Making friends with suppliers.
C. Finding a good partner
D. Opening chain stores.

When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.
Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.
As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.
Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough—it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.
1.The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because .
A. she couldn't talk with her mother
B. her mother made her nervous
C. her father wanted to teach her
D. she didn't trust her mother
2.At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her .
A. happy B. disappointed
C. satisfied D. uneasy
3.What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?
A. Her Dad was a chatty person.
B. Her Dad was the best teacher.
C. Her Dad liked modern music.
D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.
4.With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that .
A. fathers love their daughters dearly
B. family members need real communication
C. mothers are less patient than fathers
D. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationship
