【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.
As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept, 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(选票).
To help get his name known, Sessions earned$700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?' And I say ‘I'm still in high school', " he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, ” he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
“He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about this town. He's been here all his life.”
Sessions will receive$3, 600 a year during this four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office.
(1)What is TRUE of Sessions' election campaign according to the text?
A.Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept, 22.
B.Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital.
C.Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome (结果).
D.Sessions felt disappointed when asked about his age and experience.
(2)In order to gain more support from the voters Sessions had to do all these things EXCEPT________.
A.put up posters
B.renew the economy
C.sell apples
D.talk to neighbors in kitchens
(3)What can we infer from the passage?
A.American mayors usually work from 3 p. m. to 6 p. m.
B.In America, young people are encouraged to get involved in politics.
C.All teenagers are allowed to enter political elections.
D.American mayors receive a salary of 3, 600 a year during their 4-year term.
(4)Which of the following would best summarize the text?
A.Schoolboy becomes American's youngest mayor.
B.How to become a teenage mayor.
C.Hard work is the ticket to success.
D.Never too young to shake the world.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Valerie Jarrett, 58, is serving as a top adviser to President Obama and has been close to the first family since the early 1990s. Joe Heim from WashingtonPost had an interview with her.
Joe Heim: What do you think of a reporter who interviews you for 25 minutes, then later finds out his recorder stopped working and asks you to do the interview again?
Valerie Jarrett: That he's human. You could have just tried to pretend that it didn't happen.
Joe Heim: You're considered the president's closest adviser. Have you ever given him bad advice since he became president?
Valerie Jarrett: I'm sure that I have. I think one of the reasons why the president's management style is very effective is because all of his advisers feel very comfortable being open about their advice. Finally, there's only one decision-maker. And that's the president.
Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?
Valerie Jarrett: A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because it's something I really had to work hard to overcome. And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because you're nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒适区). And if you're going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges that you might not be good at.
Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?
Valerie Jarrett: I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will.
(1)From the underlined words “That he's human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is _____.
A.warm-hearted
B.broad-minded
C.well-educated
D.strong-willed
(2)Why does Valerie Jarrett share her shyness?
A.To show her hard way to success.
B.To prove shy people can also be great.
C.To show it is easy to overcome shyness.
D.To ask people to face challenges bravely.
(3)In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?
A.People.
B.Society.
C.World.
D.Culture.
