When I was about 11, I inherited(继承)my older brother's paper route. It was a good job, though it meant waking up at the crack of dawn and hopping on my bike in Rockford, to deliver papers.
Punctuality was critical. People expected the paper on their front porch by 6 a. m. .If I ran late, they would be standing in their doorways and I would definitely hear about it. On the other hand, doing the job professionally often resulted in much appreciated tips.
Ever since, I have tried to do as professional a job as possible－whether it be bagging groceries, painting houses or tarring(用柏油覆盖) roofs. Acting is not different. I believe if you work hard and behave like a pro, it will pay off, and you will be offered more and better roles.
This means giving your all. If a scene requires another character to react to my jumping into the water, I will jump in as many times as it takes to help him and the director get the shot. Several years ago, while filming a movie in the mountains of Brazil, my fellow actors and I all pitched in to help the crew move heavy equipment through rugged jungle.
Acting is a job like any other, and you can't let it go to your head. The things that made a difference delivering papers－being thorough, punctual, doing your best－also count on the movie set. And I still have to wake up at the crack of dawn.
1．What does the underlined word “punctuality” in the second paragraph mean?
[ ]
2．From the sentence “Acting is no different. I believe if you work hard and behave like a pro,…”, we can infer________.
[ ]
A．acting is as different as other jobs
B．nothing is different but acting
C．the author worked hard in acting
D．acting is the same as other jobs

[ ]
A．Doing the job professionally often gets mote pay.
B．The author has done a lot of jobs, such as bagging.
C．Better work and behavior will result in better pay and better roles.
D．As an actor, he doesn't have to help others.
4．The author used the sentence “Acting is a job like any other, and you can't let it go to your head.” to mean ________.
[ ]
A．acting is a good job and you should not give up the position
B．acting is a common job like others and you should not be arrogant(骄傲自大的)
C．acting is just a job and you needn't be proud

A severely handicapped teenager who cannot walk,talk or hold a paintbrush has won a place at Oxford to study fine art.
Hero Joy Nightingale,16,who communicates through hand movements,is to be given assistants to paint and sculpt on her behalf.Her mother Pauline Reid “translated for” her daughter during interviews for the place at Magdalen College.
The teenager is the most severely handicapped student ever to be granted a place at Oxford.She suffers from “locked-in syndrome”,a profound apraxia caused by brain damage that renders her body useless and her voice mute.
She is unlikely ever to be able to walk,feed or care for herself but,thanks to the efforts of her mother,she can communicate.When Hero was four,Pauline devised a complicated system of hand gestures that equate to the alphabet.
A spokesperson for Oxford said,“The university welcomes applications from students with disabilities.In cases where students are profoundly disabled,there may be many issues that need to be carefully addressed before an individual can take up a place,such as establishing how the student can best be taught and examined.”
Hero,who suffers almost daily epileptic fits and has a hole in her heart,has not attended school since she was six.She has been taught at home by her mother and father,the pro-vice chancellor of Kent University.
Peter Giles,her art tutor until last year,said she has a genuine talent for art.“She is ferociously gifted.We would sit together and her mother would grab her daughter’s hand and then we would begin work,”he said.
Together,they built several modern sculptures from plaster and metal.“The instructions would take a while to decipher.But eventually,they would come,and eventually make sense.”
Hero’s classes will be held at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art.

Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!
It seems like another language, and it is!

科目：高中英语 来源：2013-2014学年江西省赣州市六校高三上学期期末联考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
Davey wanted to play baseball. But fifty years ago, in his small town, he couldn’t find enough players for two full teams or an empty lot big enough for a field. And when he played ball in his back yard, he just broke windows and got into trouble. So Davey began playing with a plastic golf ball and a broom handle for a bat.
When his dad, David Mullaney, a former semi-pro baseball pitcher(投手), realized his son was hurting his arm trying to throw curves with the little plastic ball, he decided to find a better solution. Mullaney got a bunch of hollow plastic spheres from a local factory, sat down at his kitchen table and began cutting different size holes in the balls with a razor knife. He thought maybe the holes would alter the ball’s flight and help his son throw curves and sliders without hurting his arm.
All the balls failed—except the one with the eight oblong(长椭圆形的) holes cut into one of the hemispheres. This ball curved naturally and sharply without a violent snap of the wrist. In fact, Davey was now striking out so many batters; he called his new ball a “wiffle ball”. A year later, Mullaney borrowed $20,000 from family and friends and started producing Wiffle Balls in his little suburban town of Shelton, Connecticut.
“I didn’t want investors.” He said, “I wanted to control my own company.” This was the beginning of one of the hottest fads(时尚) of the fifties and a perennial(长久的) best seller well known all around the world. Since then millions of boys and girls have enjoyed countless hours of safe, wholesome fun playing with a Wiffle ball and bat. Esquire Magazine has even called the Wiffle Ball “a national treasure”. By producing a high quality product at an affordable price, three generations of Mullany’s have enjoyed the satisfaction and benefits of running a successful and profitable family business.
Over the years, they’ve had plenty of offers to buy them out, but they’re still working out of a small factory in Shelton, making a new Wiffle Ball every couple of seconds. Creativity and persistence are two of the important sources for wealth. If he gave up his attempts at trying new things, Mullany would not have invented the wiffle ball, nor would he have made such a big fortune.
