She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“Where did you go?”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didnt sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “youll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husbands people for true life and love.56Why did the boy start his job young?AHe wanted to be famous in the future BThe job was quite easy for him.CHis mother had high hopes for him. DThe competition for the job was fierce.57From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _.AexcitedBinterested Cashamed Ddisappointed 58What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?AShe forced him to continue. BShe punished him.CShe gave him some money. DShe changed her plan.59The phrase “this battle” in the last paragraph refers to .Athe war between the boys parentsBthe arguing between the boy and his motherCthe quarrel between the boy and his customersDthe fight between the boy and his father60What is the text mainly about?AThe early life of a journalist. BThe early success of a journalist.CThe happy childhood of the writer.DThe important role of the writer in his family.BResearchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races(种族) and rates(率) of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk(风险) to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos. Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii(夏威夷)did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.Researchers say genetics(遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. There could be differences in how peoples bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco(烟草) that cause cancer. Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted(针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved（批准）a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it a step toward the promise of personalized medicine. 61Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?AWhitesNative HawaiiansBAfricansAmericansLatinosCAsiansNative HawaiiansDAfricansAmericansNative Hawaiians62Researchers agree that it is that may probably determine black peoples risk of lung cancer.Athe larger amount of smoking than white peopleBthe living style or habit of the blacksCthe depth of cigarette smoke into their lungsDthe physical strength to react to cigarette smoke63People in the new study are made up of .Aheavy smokers in AmericaBthe black and white peopleCthe Asians and HawaiiansDsmokers and non-smokers64The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to .Aexplain different races react to some diseases differentlyBtell the readers that racial differences exist in smokersCshow a big step people have taken in the medicine areaDsupport the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers65Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author?AThe way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer.BRace has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer.CThe research was started by the New England Journal of Medicine.DThe risk of lung cancer lies I how much a person smokes.CAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. Im not really a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”66The passage tells us that .Apeople seldom work long hours to make moneyBpeople hardly buy more things than necessaryCpeople are sure everything they own is in the right placeDpeople realize there is more to life than just making money67When Daniel was a reporter he _.Alived in central London Bdisliked his jobCmissed his children Dwas well paid68Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _.Awas easy to organize Bhas improved family lifeCwas extremely expensive Dhas been a total success69What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ?APeople work long hours to earn their living.BTo make more money through hard work is the aim of peoples life.CLong hours of hard work occupy too much of peoples life.DPeople spent too much time and money eating meals.70The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _.Arepairing your car by yourselfBspending money carefullyCmoving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeDliving in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week DAlmost no young people today know who the cartoon character（卡通人物） Oswald the Rabbit is, but they certainly recognize his successor, Bugs Bunny. Oswald, Bugs, and hundreds of other characters were created by Walt Disney, perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from World War I, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technology that was new at the time, moving pictures.In the 1920s, he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings
