Tina Rees, 50
English teacher (Canadian)
I wanted to be a doctor and help people. I was always playing doctor with dolls, wrapping their arms and legs in tissues! My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses, but I went into finance. The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now, but I feel I'm helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.
John Podeszwa, 45
English school owner (American)
I've always loved animals, and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog, then a chimp. When told I had to be something human, I chose zookeeper. I worked at a zoo in high school, but I wouldn't want to do that job now, although I am fulfilling my dream of helping rescued animals, since I own a honey bear, an albino snake (患白化病的蛇), a dog and some cats!
Miwa Gilligan, 48
Part?time worker (Japanese)
As a little girl I wanted to be many things, and when my grandmother suggested that as an actress I could play various roles, that stuck with me. The Takarazuka Revue (宝冢歌剧团) was popular during my childhood, so that also inspired me. Of course I would still like to become an actress.
Hiromitsu Tokunaga, 55
Sewage worker (Japanese)
My dream job both as a child and now is to be an astronaut. I grew up during the “Space Race” era and remember well the first moon landing, the famous sci?fi movie 2001, and all the rest.

Complete the following sentence：“You go to the library to check out ...？” The obvious answer is “books”.But a harder question might be, “What do we mean by ‘books’？” Nowadays, electronic books, or “e?books”， have become more and more popular in American society.
The biggest online bookseller Amazon, for example, recently announced that less than four years after introducing them to its catalog, it is now selling more electronic versions of its book titles than printed ones.
Last week, Pew Internet Project released a survey about the use of e?books by library customers.It found that 12% of Americans aged 16 and older who read e?books say they had borrowed at least one from a library within the past year.But the survey found that the broader public, including 58% of those who have library cards and 53% of people who own electronic book readers, are not aware that they can find and check out e?books from public libraries, even though three quarters of the libraries offer that service.
Pew Internet Project director Lee Rainie noted that e?book borrowing is becoming more popular at the same time that publishers, who are selling plenty of e?books and fewer hard?copy editions, are worried that free e?book check?outs at the library will hurt sales.In February, for example, the big publisher Penguin Books stopped supplying new e?books and audio books to libraries.Penguin just reached an agreement to resume supplying one big library system in New York City but not until six months after new titles are released.That way, those who want the latest books will have to buy them.
So things are a little murky (阴暗的) in the library world when it comes to electronic books.More and more customers want them, but publishers are giving the libraries a hard time about offering them.Demand is not the problem.Supply may soon be.
1.What is the function of the two questions in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To stress the popularity of e?books.
C. To show what the author cares about.
D. To remind us of the change at the library.
2.According to Paragraph 2, what can we know about Amazon?
A. It has sold e?books for five years.
B. Its e?books are cheaper than printed books.
C. It has the best e?books among all libraries.
D. Its e?books sell better than printed books.
3.We know from the survey done by Pew Internet Project that ________.
A. few library customers know how to read e?books
B. the promotional effort at e?book readers is not big enough
C. library customers should be reminded about the e?book service
D. more library cards should be offered to readers free of charge
4.Why did Penguin Books NOT supply new e?books to libraries?
A. Because they are not allowed to offer e?books.
B. Because they wanted to increase the sales of printed books.
C. Because they didn't want their e?books to be copied.
D. Because their products were not welcomed there.

It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self–confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
1.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?
A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.

When we’re young and we dream of love and fulfillment, we think perhaps of moon-covered Parisian nights or walks along the beach at sunset. No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.
Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.
I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.
Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”
If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Although shoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.
1.From the passage we know .
A. Annie knew how important she was to her mother
B. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her son
C. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel Whiskers
D. Sam was not surprised at the music which was played in the store
2.When the author knew her daughter could not stop looking at her pretty face, she felt .
A. sad B. deeply moved
C. annoyed D. ashamed
3.Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world?
A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.
B. Because her son was the most important person to her.
C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.
D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.
4.What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?
A. Her kids love her very much.
B. She enjoys staying with her kids.
C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.
D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happiness with kids.
