    For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.

    But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

    Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."

    Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.

    I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget.

    Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!

    I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin."

    Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.

    That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.

    I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes - every time.

    I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!

    By saying “Do you see a money tree outside .….,” the mother actually means “     ”

    A．Observation is the best teacher.

    B．Seeing is believing.

    C．The outsider sees the most of the game.

    D．It is not easy to gain money

    The best title for the passage would probably be          .

    A．My flower garden           B．Marvin helps to realize my dream

    C．Love in Michigan           D．Money grows on trees

    The underlined word “no - frills” in the fifth paragraphs is similar in meaning to        .

    A．wasteful   B．tight  C．absurd      D．helpful

    From the last but the third paragraph we can infer that the mother is         .

    A．divorced when she was young B．not caring for her kids any longer

    C．alone but not at all lonely       D．prouder with her garden than with her kids.

    For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
    Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize（梦想）about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
    But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self–worth, and, of course, love.
    It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us work hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
    【小题1】The passage tries to tell us the importance of          .

    A．body sizeB．attitudes
    C．culture differenceD．different beauty standards
    【小题2】 What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
    A．All the problems.B．All the properties

    A．The author is a Samoan
    B．The author succeeded in losing weight
    C．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
    D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
    【小题4】. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
    A．They feel angry about the regained weight
    B．They are indifferent to the regained weight
    C．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.

    One of the most exciting and attractive fields of work today is the fashion industry. Some of the most well-known people in this industry are the fashion designers with unbelievable financial (金融的) Kingdoms. But most of the clothes that you wear have been designed by people that the world has never heard of. Although these unknown fashion designers will never make a very large amount of money as their famous workmates, most still would not think of changing their careers. They are doing what they love.
    If you spend hours looking through fashion magazines and like making your own clothes, a career as a fashion designer might be right for you. You do not have to go to design school to become a fashion designer, but many people who want a career in this field do. One of the most famous places to study is the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. It is located in the heart of the “garment” district on Eighth Avenue, also known as Fashion Avenue.
    Becoming a fashion designer is not just a matter of classroom education. Students know that they cannot just leave school and start designing on their own. Many think that they need at least four years’ experience working for someone else after they graduate. The best schools encourage students to work closely with the fashion industry while they are still studying.
    You need ambition (抱负) and hard work to get a career in fashion. Students often work 12 hours a day. They are encouraged to have realistic ambitions and not to expect success overnight, if ever. Success means finding a job in the fashion industry and more years of hard work.

    A．Some famous fashion designers can make a lot of money.
    B．Most of the clothes are designed by famous designers.

    C．hard workD．expectation of success overnight
    【小题4】Which of the following old sayings shows the writer’s opinion about learning fashion design?
    A．Better late than never.
    B．Experience is the best teacher.
    C．Well begun is half done.
    D．Seeing is believing.

    When most people turn 21, they spend too much time partying and having fun. But when Adele turned 21, she did something completely different.

    After going through a tough breakup(分手), the British singer turned her pain into glory and recorded one of the most moving albums of the year.

    The album, 21, which was released in January, has already hit the charts in 14 countries, according to the Billboard magazine.

    It also noted that Adele made history as the first artist since the Beatles to have two top five singles and two top five albums in the charts at the same time (Adele’s first album, 19, was released in 2008. Each album is named for her age when she wrote it).

    Now, after touring around the world for almost a year, the DVD of her live concert, released on November 29, is Adele’s latest work.

    Having topped the pre-order list of Amazon. com for over a month already, this one seems set to stay on top for a while.

    Born in north London, Adele sang her way up honestly:  In 2006, she was signed by England’s XL Recordings on the strength of (基于)a three-song demo(样本唱片) a friend of hers had posted on MySpace;within two years she had won the BRIT Awards ‘Critics’ Choice prize and been tipped by the BBC as the “Sound of 2008”.

    In 2009 she got the best new artist Grammy Award, and went on a world tour in support of the album 19 with a sold-out show in Los Angeles.

    According to Adele herself, much of the inspiration of her music comes from one single breakup.

    That’s probably what has made the singer’s success-that emotional certitude(确信), according to Dickins.

    “The key to great singers is believing every single word they sing, ” he said. “And I think you believe every word that comes out of Adele’s mouth. You can feel her life force through her voice. ”

    1.When she wrote album 19, she is at the age of______.

    A．21

    B．18

    C．20

    D．19

    2.How many awards did Adele get?

    A．One.

    B．Two.

    C．Three.

    D．Four.

    3.The underlined word “released” can be best replaced by ______.

    A．recorded

    B．came out

    C．sold

    D．written

    4. In Adele’s opinion, where does her inspiration of music mainly come from?

    A．Emotional certitude.

    B．One single breakup.

    C．A three-song demo.

    D．A world tour.
