Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because shes the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why dont people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because Im not pretty? Is that why they dont say nice things about me as much?”I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now whenever I visit a friends home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.56. The underlined expression “make a big to do over” (paragraph 4) means _. A. pay much attention to B. have a special effect on C. list jobs to be done for D. do good things for57. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. parents should pay more attention to the elder childrenB. the younger children are usually more easily hurtC. people usually like the younger children moreD. adults should treat children equally58. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her _. A. beautiful hair B. pretty clothes C. lovely smile D. young age59. Kristen felt sad and cried because _. A. the guests gave her more coats to carry B. she didnt look as pretty as Kelly C. the guests praised her sister more than her D. her mother didnt introduce her ( B )It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plans for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, you should open a sandwich shop. ”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000. But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful, we are opening a second store.” And they did in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says. And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds. DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multi-million-dollar restaurant chain.60. Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.A. support his family B. pay for his college education C. help his partner expand business D. do some research 61. Which of the following is true of Buck? A. He put money into the sandwich business. B. He was a professor of business administration (管理). C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport. D. He rented a storefront for DeLuca. 62. What can we learn about their first shop? A. It stood at an unfavorable place. B. It lowered the prices to promote sales. C. It made no profits due to poor management. D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches. 63. They decided to open a second store because they _. A. had enough money to do it B. had succeeded in their business C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers D. wanted to make believe that they were successful 64. What contributes most to their success according to the author? A. Learning by trial and error. B. Making friends with suppliers. C. Finding a good partner. D. Opening chain stores. ( C )What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems more crime, dirtier streets , and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity ), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in city areas.How can we deal with such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is little suitable housing and because houses are too expensive. The crime rate isnt going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars dont move at all for several streets. These problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.Los Angeles, California, for example, has no subway system and buses are slow. Instead, many commuters (乘、开车上班族) drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, however, has a big transit system buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than that in Los Angeles. A taxi driver complains, “I was driving home, but in forty-five minutes I moved only two miles! Finally, I turned off the engine and just sat there. A lot of people left their cars where they were in the middle of the street and went into a bar for a few beers!”On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use buses or subways to move quickly from one part of the city to another.65. What do some people think is the main problem of the future city like? A. Poor housing. B. Overcrowding. C. Environmental pollution. D. Traffic jams.66. The best way to work out the traffic problem in Los Angels might be _. A. cutting down the number of private cars B. providing more buses in the freeway C. building a subway system D. persuading people to live nearer to their workplaces67. Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE? A. Thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets. B. The crime rate isnt going down. C. The traffic jams are so bad that cars dont move at all for several streets. D. Many people have a positive attitude towards the future of the city.( D )If there is one thing Im quite sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we still be reading newspapers. Not those newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of the news from the television or have the radio switched on in the background or in the car. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The basic British character wont change, and one of the characteristics of the British is that we dont much like talking to each other when we get up. So what better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper?Over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper. It has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun. And it is not just the British who love newspapers. On suburban trains in Calcutta, for instance, just one person in the whole car will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers, much to everybodys enjoyment.The nature of what is news may change. What essentially (本质上) makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its alre
