Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” She said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog.” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
“Hmm! Even a dog likes it!” he said. “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed（种子）of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!”How old was Jim when his parents died?
Did he help a young lady when her bags dropped?
Why did the boy repeat the words “Thank you, dear! You’re a nice little boy”?
What made the boy start his new life?
What’s the best title of this passage?
The greatest saleswoman in the world today doesn’t mind if you call her a girl. That’s because Markita Andrews has got more than eight thousand dollars selling Girl Scout cookies since she was seven years old.
Going door-to-door after school, the terribly shy Markita changed herself into the cookie-selling dynamo（高手）.
It starts with great wish.
For Markita and her mother, whose husband left them when Markita was eight years old, their dream was to travel the world. “I’ll work hard to make enough money to send you to college,” her mother said one day. “When you leave college, you’ll make enough money to take you and me around the world. Okay?”
So at the age of 13 when Markita read in her Girl Scout magazine that the Scout（童子军）who sold the most cookies would win a free trip for two around the world, she decided to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could—more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.
Wish, however, alone is not enough. To make her dream come true, Markita knew she needed a plan.
“When you are doing business, wear your Girl Scout clothes when you go up to people in their building, ” her aunt told her. “Always smile, whether they buy something or not and always be nice.”
Lots of other Scouts may have wanted that trip around the world, but only Markita went off in her own uniform each day after school, ready to ask—and keep asking—people to help in her dream.
Markita sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip around the world. Since then, she has sold more than 42,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
Markita is no cleverer than thousands of other people, with dreams of their own. The difference is that many people fail before they even begin. They fear（恐惧）that they will be refused. This fear leads many of us to refuse ourselves and prevents us from getting where we have set off for long before anyone else ever has the chance—no matter what we are selling.
“It takes courage（勇气）to ask for what you want,” she said. “Courage is not that you don’t have fear. It means doing what it takes although you have a fear of it”.From the passage we learn that ________.
| A．a good planning is the most important in the job of selling |
| B．Markita took the free trip around the world herself |
| C．Markita has a full-time selling job now |
| D．to do something successfully, we should do what is needed |
Markita ________.
| A．started to sell Girl Scout cookies when she was 13 years old |
| B．has only one parent |
| C．whose parents are rich, went to college |
| D．sold cookies in different shops |
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
| A．The Greatest Saleswoman in the World. |
| B．A Successful Girl in Selling. |
| C．The Secret of Selling. |
| D．Girl Scout Cookies. |
The main reason for Markita’s success is that ________.
| A．she asks for what she wants before she is refused |
| B．she isn’t afraid to be refused |
| C．her aunt has told her how to sell things |
| D．she has a good wish |
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!The passage tells us _______ have a communication problem.
| A．parents and other people |
| B．school kids and their parents |

Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you _______.

| B．write a letter to them |
| C．don’t speak to them politely |
| D．express yourself well |

| B．parents should show love and respect to their children |
| C．there are some good ways to bridge the generation gap |
| D．there are so many serious problems in families today |
Eating in space is different from eating on the earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat.
Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship, the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.
Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs. Crumbs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cakes often come in bite-size pieces.
Astronauts cannot drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the spaceship. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth.Some food carried in the closed bags by astronauts is ________.
A. cooked and frozen B. full of water C. rawAstronauts can’t drink from open cups because__________.
