Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .
We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.
A. older than 20 B. around 20 C. in their 30s D. in their 40s
The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.
A. a person in general B. a special person
C. Britney Spears D. a person interested in money
Which of the following is not true according to the text?
A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.
B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.
C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.

A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious（勤勤恳恳的） way you do your job.
You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable or unwilling—to “play the game”.
“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative（工于心计的） behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University, “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying（游说）and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behaviors used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P.Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’ s simple human nature.”
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggest altering（改变） this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
1.“Office politics” （Line 2,Para.4） is used in the passage to refer to____.
A. the political views and beliefs of office workers
B. the interpersonal relationships within a company
C. the various qualities required for a successful career
D. the code of behavior for company staff
2.Why are many people unwilling to "play the game" (Line 4, Para. 5) ?
A. They believe that doing so is impractical.
B. They feel that such behavior is unprincipled(不道德的).
C. They are not good at manipulating colleagues.
D. They think the effort will get them nowhere.
3.To get promoted, one must not only be competent but____.
A. avoid being too outstanding
B. get along well with his colleagues
C. honest and loyal to his company
D. give his boss a good impression
4.It is the author’ s view that____.
A. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery
B. hard work contributes very little to one’ s promotion
C. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery
D. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature

The college entrance exam is not only a big challenge (挑战) for Chinese high school students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.
Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual (一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.
More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.
Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities.
Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a.m. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. “I feel a lot of pressure, but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future,” Park said.
The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.
Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.
1.What do we know about South Korean annual national exams?
|
A．Senior 3 students have to compete fiercely because there is only one place for 10 students. |
|
B．Senior 3 students have to stay long into night at school. |
|
C．Many of the Senior 3 students can’t have enough sleep. |
|
D．Airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off during national exams. |
2.We can infer that there are almost ________ college places for high school graduates.
|
A．675, 000 |
B．507, 520 |
C．500, 000 |
D．600, 000 |
3.The students want to study in top colleges mainly because ________.
|
A．they can succeed more easily in future |
B．they can learn more |
|
C．they can make more money |
D．it is interesting to study there |
4. Before students are allowed to colleges ________.
|
A．they will be interviewed |
B．they will ask questions of colleges |
|
C．they will not be tested any more |
D．first they will pay all the education fee at all |
