Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in story-telling from 36 grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Meyer always had stories running 37 her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper.
Meyer 38 remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February 18th, when the 39 rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent ( 代理 ) to whom she had sent a copy of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Meyer some 40 information, like age and health condition. Meyer felt 41 and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, \"I've just sold your 42 for one and a half million dollars!\" She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 43 by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged (气馁的), 44 not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never 45 . Seeing this book published was the most 46 thing that has ever happened to her.

A
Rulers are everywhere. When you’re reading at the library, playing basketball on the playground or driving on the road, you’ll have to follow some rules. But have you ever read any rules on a plane? If you’re traveling by air in America, you may find the following criteria (标准). Exit Seat Criteria
If you are sitting in an exit seat, read the information below. You must:
Be at least 15 years old and healthy enough to offer help. Be able to speak, read and understand English well.
Be able to follow a safe way from the emergency exit (紧急出口). Be able to help others away from the plane. You must not:
Travel with a pet, such as a dog.
Travel with someone that needs special care, such as a child.
If you cannot meet the criteria, ask crew members (工作人员) to move you to another seat. You do not have to explain why, just say, “I do not want to sit in an exit seat.” 51.

On the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, some villagers cut down trees in a special way. If a tree is too large to be cut down with an ax(斧子), they try something else-- yelling(喊叫) at it. Woodsmen with

A. on the playground B. on a train
special powers climb up a tree at dawn and yell at it at the top of their voices. They continue doing this for 30 days. After 30 days, the tree dies and falls over. It seems like the yelling kills the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works.
It’s too bad they don’t have the advantages of modern technology and a scientific mind.
No matter how true the story actually is, it reminds me of something. I often yell at my wife, the telephone and workers. And sometimes I even yell at the TV, the newspaper and my children. I have been known to shake my fist(拳头) and yell at the sky at times.
The man next door yells at his car a lot. And this summer I heard him yell at a ladder for most of an afternoon. We modern, educated people often yell at traffic, bills, banks and machines. Machines and relatives get yelled at the most.
It doesn’t do much good. Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking it doesn’t usually help. As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at living things does tend to(有做...的 倾向) kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts. 54. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer seems to be . A. a nice husband B. a patient father C.a gentle boss D. a complainer 55. Which is true according to the passage? A. Solomon Islands is a modern place.
B. Solomon Islanders never use an ax to cut down trees. C. Modern people are often in a bad mood(情绪). D. The man next door lives a peaceful life. 56. Wht does the writer think about yelling in life? A. It solves traffic problems. B. It helps people at the bank. C. It makes machines work. D. It does no good for people. 57. What does the story want to tell us? A. Yelling hurts both sides. B. Yelling is bad for our health. C. Every living thing has its own spirit. D. Solomon Islanders are very clever.

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil. 58. The writer thinks that railways are much alive now because . A. they are cheaper and more convenient B. there aren’t any planes or cars C. we can have a comfortable journey D. we feel dangerous on highways 59. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true? A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane
B. The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C. When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center. D. No car or plane can carry as many goods as a train. 60. What does the underline word competitive prefer to? A. 参与性的 B. 性价比高的 C. 竞争性的 D. 对比性的

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was a small coffee shop. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran (经营) Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment(设备). He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original(原先的) Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the espresso(浓咖啡) bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work, and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores---and that was only the beginning. In fact, in the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers (顾客) in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right places for their customers.
62. What is the main idea of the reading? A. How Starbucks grows. B. Starbucks customers. C. What Starbucks makes. D. How Starbucks makes its coffee. 63. Which is true about Starbucks’ first ten years of business? A. It grew very quickly. B. It was run by Howard Schultz. C. It was a small company. D. It made special coffee makers. 64. Who is Howard Schultz?
A. A coffee seller from New York. B. The man who changed the company. C. An Italian coffee maker. D. One of the original owners of the company. 65. About how many new Starbucks opened in the year 2000 around the world? A. 3. B. 150. C. 300. D. more than 1000.
