    　　Like so many girls of my generation, I went straight from college to society．Through my family's attempt, I found my suitable job．I thought I was doing a great job．

    　　One day, a female program director arrived at the station．This large and frightening woman came to work every day with an equally large and frightening German dog．She didn't like me．When she called me into her office one Friday afternoon, she simply said,“You're fired!”leaving me to wonder what had gone so terribly wrong．

    　　Six months later, after calling every program director in town, I went to work for another major-market radio station, doing four-minute stories for a low ＄15 each．With two young children and a husband who was just starting his own career, I took a chance．

    　　Today, some 28 years later, I am still at WOR Radio with a two-hour daily talk show interviewing celebrities, authors and politicians, giving information to more than a million listeners a week and loving every minute of it．

    　　I was young when those firings happened, but the process is still the same．Firings know no age or gender．The trick is to get out from under the covers and make things happen．This is exactly what Sherrye Henry did．

    　　Sherrye, when her organization came across a sudden financial failure, she was fired．“This wasn't the first job I had lost．Hard as it is, one must remember that there is always life after losing a job．”said Sherrye．Helpful friends, good luck and a good resume got Sherrye back on track．Within a month, she landed what she calls the most satisfying job of her life：raising money for Episconpal Relief and Development(ERD), which provides emergency assistance to people in 40 countries．

    阅读理解
         In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small
    notepad (记事本)and a hole for a pencil.
         I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.
    Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current
    paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil? The pad is more
    modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
         "I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I
    say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil.
    Can't you afford a pen?"
          My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen.
    I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days."
         Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one
    hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was
    cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the
    children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the
    back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
         This story-which happened before I was born-reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is,
    as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to
    wor k. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.
    Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.
    Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden
    breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.

    1. Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

    A. To leave messages.
    B. To list her everyday tasks.
    C. To note down maths problems.
    D. To write down a flash of inspiration.

    2. What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?

    A. It has great value for the family.
    B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.
    C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
    D. It should be passed on to the next generation.

    3. The author feels embarrassed for             .

    A. blaming her mother wrongly
    B. giving her mother a lot of trouble
    C. not making good use of time as her mother did
    D. not making any breakthrough in her field

    4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A. The mother is successful in her career.
    B. The family members like travelling.
    C. The author had little time to play when young.
    D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

    5. In the author's mind, her mother is             .

    A. strange in behaviour
    B. keen on her research
    C. fond of collecting old things
    D. careless about her appearance(B)
