A [2015 •哈尔滨六中二模]
Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy―they're given after all. Choices can be hard.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2 ， 300 per cent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start?ups don't, and that I wasn't sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy? I'd been a garage inventor. Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wan?ted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and fi?nally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job. " That logic made some sense to me, and he con?vinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后)，I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

A.the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author

About five to seven million people who lived in England spoke English at the end of the 16th century. Later in the next century, people from England overcame other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.
Look at this example:
British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?
American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment.
So why has English changed over time? All languages change and develop when cultures meet. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers improved the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.
1.When did English begin to be spoken in many other countries?
A. In 16th century.
B. In 17th century.
C. In 18th century.
D. In 19th century.
2.Shakespeare could use a wider vocabulary than ever before because English_______.
A. developed when new settlers came to Britain
B. was based on Germany during the 5th century
C. became the language for government and education
D. was spoken wide all over the world
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. British settlers moved to America in the 18th.
B. It’s easy for Chinese people speak fluent English.
C. English once became the official language in India.
D. English was influenced by Danish invaders in AD 450 .
4.What showed the differences of American English spelling?
A. Samuel Johnson’s dictionary B. Shakespeare’s books
C. French ruler’s language D. Noah Webster’s dictionary
5.For what purpose does the author write the passage?
A. To settle English in many countries.
B. To understand English-speaking people.
C. To describe the development of English.
D. To tell people changes of American English.
