The original business plan for what was to become Federal Express was given a failing grade on Fred Smith’s college exam.And,in the early days,their employees would cash their pay checks at branch stores rather than banks.This meant it would take longer for the money to clear,therefore giving Fed Ex more time to cover their payroll.

  If you asked me what the newest fad(时尚)is for teens today, I would have to say the iPod.This handheld electronic device can store and play thousands of songs.Everyone has one.After all, to most teens, music is more than a way to express themselves.It’s their“escape”.

  On popular music radio stations, almost every song is about love, and many love songs are about break-ups(分手).There are two ways people react to break-ups.They may be glad to break up with people that don’t appreciate them:“Get out!Leave, right now, it’s the end of you and me.I can’t wait for you to be gone,”goes a popular song by a singer named Jo Jo.Or they may beg their ex-boy/girlfriends to come back:“Baby, when you left, I lost a part of me…Please come back, we belong together,”goes an equally popular song by Mariah Carey, a huge star.

  But not all songs are about break-ups; some songs about true love are also popular.DJ Sammy’s“Baby you’re all that I want/when you’re lying here in my arms/I’m finding it hard to believe/we’re in heaven.”(Will they be singing“Get Out, Leave”or“We Belong Together”tomorrow?)

  Other songs are about growing up.“Did I grow up according to plan?And do you think I’m wasting my time doing things I want to do?But it hurts when you disapprove all along,”goes a song by Simple Plan, addressed to a dad who tried to plan out his son’s life.

  However, the best songs are the ones about important issues in the world.A couple of years ago, the longest-reigning number one song of the year, a favourite of mine as well, was a song promoting(提倡)non-violence in a tumultuous world.But another song tops my list:“I don’t want another pretty face…I want you and your beautiful soul.”Other songs make me want to scream at the radio, especially when they top the ratings charts:“Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?”However, all songs, whether about falling in love or out of it, truly reflect the mood of a generation.

阅读下面三个段落,根据其内容,从A,B,C,D中找出与每个段落相应的首句。

  A.Nevertheless, good breeding (饲养) is just the beginning.

  B.Blind people usually spend up to four tough weeks learning how to work safely with their new guides.

  C.Training has become more sophisticated (复杂的) over the years.

  D.The first guide dogs for the blind were trained in Germany in 1916, to lead blinded ex-semice-men.

  ① Guide dog training was further developed in the US and now schools which train such dogs exist in several countries. Guide dog training started in Britain in 1931 and there are around 4, 000 guide dogs in Britain which help their blind and partially-sighted owners.

  ② This is just as well as there used to be an eighty percent failure rate among potential guide dogs in the early days. However, we need to realize that a guide dog is more than the product of just special training. Nowadays a breeding programme ensures the suitability of the supply of dogs which have the right physical and temperamental qualities. A good guide dog needs sensitivity, adaptability, good voice response, some initiative and willingness to please. Crosses between Labradors and golden retrievers account for around half the dogs. Pure Labradors account for roughly a third while German shepherds and pure golden retrievers each contribute ten percent.

  ③ Most people are unaware of the long training process. When they are about six weeks old the puppies go to live with volunteer families and are taught to be clean and obey the basic com-mands like “sit” , “down” and “come”. They visit busy places and learn to conquer their fear of loud noises, mad works and busy crowds, and to control their natural liveliness. By the end of heir nine or ten-month stay they have acquired the three Cs-confidence, concentration and calmness-and are ready to start their training at one of the seven centers.
