Dear cousin,

Long time no see! It has been almost a year ever since you move to London. I miss you a lot of. I’m writing the letter to ask you for help. As you know, I am eager to be a photographer like you, so I asked my parents to buy me the camera last week. But he told me I wouldn’t concentrate in my schoolwork if I got one. Oh, my God!

A person, like a commodity (商品), needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment(装饰), so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.

A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self - defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self - confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony (和谐)with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder’s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality)edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.

As long as one find where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

1.It can be concluded from the text that ________.

A. people should be packed at all ages

B. people should be packed in a special way

C. elderly people also care about packing

D. proper packing makes people attractive

2.For the middle - aged, attractiveness________ .

A. hardly exists B. is the strongest

C. comes from the inside D. comes from the appearance

3.The underlined sentence means that elderly people ________.

A. are usually packed like a finely - made book

B. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life

C. do a lot of traveling and can give you much information

D. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylands

Terrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common. Over the last 30 years, the number of weather-related disasters has increased quickly, and the disasters have also affected more people and caused more economic loss. However, much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction(DRR降低灾难风险).

A meeting, held in Sendai, Japan last month, opened one day after Cyclone Pam(飓风Pam)hit Vanuatu, which struck the islands with winds of up to 340km/h and destroyed the island nation. The speech by the President of Vanuatu was given shortly after that. He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承诺)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks. In the face of disasters, it is always the developing countries that suffer most. Damage in these countries is often worse and unluckily, there is limited money and technique to prevent these disasters.

In fact, we have seen Asian countries-especially those that have suffered a lot in disasters can’t pay the price. Great loss Asia has suffered comes to a total of almost $ 53 billon yearly over the past 20 years.

At the same time, studies have shown once again that proper prevention saves lives and damage. With this in mind, people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.

1.According to the first paragraph, disasters ________.

A. can all be prevented

B. have become more frequent

C. are all weather-related ones

D. affect fewer people than before

2.We can know from the passage that_______.

A. The Sendai meeting was held one day after a cyclone hit Vanuatu

B. Vanuatu was terribly destroyed by an earthquake

C. The president of Vanuatu begged his country to prevent the disaster

D. Vanuatu is a small island in Japan

3.Which of the following can be the title of this news report?

A. Proper ways that save lives and damage have come up.

B. The Sendai meeting has made new commitments.

C. Natural disasters have become more common.

D. Some natural disasters can be reduced and avoided.

Climbing the corporate ladder (晋升) during my 32 years at Southern Bell (now AT&T) never appealed much to me. But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.

In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Georgia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.

I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.

I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day.

People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man say, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nervous, but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could've done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.

1.When the author first became a lineman, .

A. she was sure to be promoted

B. she loved it and went all out for it

C. she tried her best to convince her husband

D. she received immediate recognition from colleagues

2.What is needed to be a lineman according to the author?

A. Concentration and strength.

B. Confidence and patience.

C. Bravery and devotion.

D. Efficiency and talent.

3.Which of the following best describe the author's husband?

A. Outgoing and considerate.

B. Proud and demanding.

C. Adventurous and humorous.

D. Open-minded and supportive.
