Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 　36　. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never　37　more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something　38　 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a　39　table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the　40　 for my friends! ” said Ben. We all sat down and looked　41　at each other—what was he 　42　?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a　43　of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next　44　was also a little strange　45　we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”
As we ate we chatted and finally the　46　turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(菜譜) for this, ”asked Marina, “or did you　47　it up? ”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked　48　what I could find. ”Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days. ”“But there’s　49　choice in what you can find　50　supermarkets, ” he replied.
　51　that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually　52　away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of　53　, boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had　54　 provided a decent meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 　55　millions of people.

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the Unite States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls’ horizons and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive,” says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.”
Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers’ Green High School for girls, in north London, has made the day necessary part of careers education.
Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers’ Green, went with her mother to her Lawyer’s office this year’s Take Our Daughters to Work Day. She found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It’s really strange seeing Mum at work--- running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
1.Which is the best title of this passage?
A.Raising Self-confidence
B.Take Our Daughters to Work Day
C.Girls can be Excellent too!
D.Following Footsteps
2.It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that __________.
A.Women pilots are popular in Britain
B.Girls are sure about their future jobs
C.People have wrongly believed that girls can do as well as boys
D.For many years boys have a comparatively wider choice of work
3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.Take Our Daughters to Work Day is British in origin.
B.On Take Our Daughters to Work Day, children are taken to their parents’ work places.
C.Palmers’ Green High School for girls favors Take Our Daughters to Work Day.
D.Parents always show good examples for their children both at work and at home.
4.After her experience on Take Our Daughters to Work Day, Zarina felt __________.
A.confident about her study
B.strange to work in a lawyer’s office
C.sure about what to choose as her future career
D.interested in following in her father’s footsteps
5.The writer’s attitude towards Take Our Daughters to Work Day is __________.

A child-like robot, Wakamaru, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and combining the roles of nurse, companion and security guard, will soon be in the market to look after the growing number of old people with no one to look after them.
Cameras implanted under the “ eyebrows” of the robot enable it to “see’’ as it moves around in a house. The images can be sent to the latest mobile telephones, which can show the pictures. Wakamaru speaks with either the voice of a boy or a girl. It is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “ papa”, when he comes home. Based on a vocabulary of around 10 000 words, it is the first household robot which is able to hold simple conversations. It can not only speak, but also understand answers and react accordingly. It will ask“ Are you all right?” if its owner does not move for some time. If the answer is no, or there is no answer, it will telephone preset numbers, send images and work as a speakerphone. It can recognize up to 10 faces. It can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep.
However, like most robots, it cannot climb stairs. Mitsubishi developed Wakamaru from robots which have already been made to go around nuclear power facilities(設(shè)施). “ Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decided that this could work as a business. We want to offer it as a product that helps society,’’ said the project chief. The developers plan to sell the robot from April next year at between 5,000 and 6,000 pound.
The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world. At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents. Therefore, the technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan.
68.Which of the following is TRUE about Wakamaru?
A.    It is used in some nuclear power facilities.
B.     It can speak but cannot understand answers.
C.     It can go up and down the stairs easily.
D.    It can recognize as many as 10 people.
69.The passage is written with the purpose to ______.
A. introduce a new product  
B solve the aging problems.
C. tell people how to use the robot 
D show the rapid development of technology
70. What can be inferred from the passage ?
A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help
B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.
C. The robot enables the Japanese to live longer
D. Many elderly Japanese are anxious about their future

I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company. I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school.
Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didn't search any further. He acknowledged(承認(rèn)) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of life's greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for another person in a time of extreme need.
小題1:According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very      .
A．generousB．kindC．happyD．mean
小題2:The underlined word "principal" in the first paragraph probably means    .
A．mainB．unimportantC．necessaryD．possible
小題3:We can infer from this passage that      .
A．the writer didn't get the job in the company
B．Bruce made the writer pass the interview
C．a(chǎn)nother manager also lost his wife
D．the business interview was cold
小題4:Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A．The writer's daughter was studying in Boston at that time.
B．Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain.
C．Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm.
D．Bruce wanted to make Mends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.

Compared to the whole development of history, your life could be like a candle which is lit and then blown out immediately. In other words, life is short —very short. Missing any of the joys life offers is terrible.
So don’t let fears conquer your short and valuable life. If your life is being controlled by your fears, you are most certainly cheating yourself. Courage is the mental (精神上的) muscle that conquers fear. Like all muscles, the more you use it, the stronger it will become. Courage is not something you are born with. That is to say, it must be developed. It has been said that if you face the thing you fear bravely, your fear will leave you.
For years I believed that courageous people had no fear. I was wrong. Eddie Richen Bacher put it very well when he said, "There is no courage without fear." We all have fears; however, not everyone gives in to their fears easily.
There is, very likely, something you have wanted to do for years —move to another city, start your own business, apply for a better position, or go wherever you like. Whatever it is, you should do it. Remember, life is not a practice run. This is it. A little courage leads to more.
Observe those poor people who have no courage. They only tiptoe (躡手躡腳地走) through life, hoping they can make it safely to death. You and I never meant to live that way. Learn to live the way you like by no longer living as you dislike. Make good use of your day and have courage. That’s life!
64. We can learn from the passage that courage _______.
A. can be developed quickly                 B. needs to be used more often
C. is formed when one is born                D. makes one very excited
65. What new opinion did the author develop?
A. All courageous people have fears.           B. Those who are brave have no fear.
C. There is no fear without courage.           D. A brave person can live a safe life.
66. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Person’s Life Is Short                   B. Don’t Fear Anything
C. Never Give Up Easily                    D. Courage Conquers Fear
