          Most people think the first pies were made by early Romans. They may have learned about pie making
    from the Greeks. These pies were sometimes made in "reeds (芦苇叶)", which were used for the purpose
    of holding the filling (馅), and were not eaten.
          The Romans spread the word about pies around Europe and the word "pie" became a popular word in
    the 14th century. The first pie recipe (食谱) was also published by the Romans.
           Pies first appeared in England as early as the twelfth century. The early pies were mostly meat pies.
    There was actually more crust (皮) than filling. Often these pies were made from fowl (家禽) and the fowl's
    legs were left to hang over the side of the dish and used as handles. Fruit pies were probably first made in
    the 1500s. It is said that Queen Elizabeth I made the first cherry pie. 
          Pie came to America with the first English settlers. The early settlers cooked their pies in long narrow
    pans. As in the Roman times, the early American pie crusts were often not eaten, but simply used to hold
    the filling during baking (烘焙).
          Over the years, pie has become what it is today-"the most traditional American dessert". Pie has
    become so much a part of American culture that we now often use the phrase "as American as apple pie".
    1. Which people might probably first grasp the skill to make pies?
    [     ]
    A. The Romans.
    B. The Greeks.
    C. The Englishmen.
    D. The Americans.
    2. Which of the following is NOT true about pies?
    [     ]
    A. English settlers brought pies to America.
    B. Early Romans ate not only pies but also the crusts.
    C. The Romans first published pie recipe.
    D. The word "pie" became popular because of the Romans' efforts.
    3. What can best show pies have become part of American culture?
    [     ]
    A. Americans use long narrow pans to cook pies.
    B. People use "as American as apple pie" to show something about American characteristics.
    C. Americans don't eat crusts but use them to hold the filling during baking.
    D. Pies are the most traditional American dessert.
    4. The best title of this passage is "______".
    [     ]
    A. The History of Pies
    B. Pies, the Delicious Food
    C. Pies, American Dessert
    D. How to Make Pies

    Blue Collar
          Graduates from China's "blue-collar" vocational schools have an employment rate of 95. 6 percent, but
    many lose their jobs because of unrealistic expectations, according to a senior official with the Ministry of
    Education (MOE).
          MOE figures show a total of 3. 64 million students graduated from vocational schools last year, of
    whom 3. 48 million found jobs. The employment rate for these students was 95. 6 percent.
          "The employment rate for blue-collar workers has stayed high since 1999 and above 90 percent since
    2002," Wang Jiping, the MOE's deputy head of vocational education section, said on Wednesday. "However,
    the figure is not the cause for optimism because it only indicates that people get employed."
           He said many students find jobs, but are unable to stay in the posts for reasons such as overly high
    expectations for salaries or poor performance.
           Wang said vocational school graduates needed more guidance to find jobs that could use their skills
    and meet "rational" demands for wages (工资), so that they can stay in the posts.
           "The government is to set up a national information platform to better show market demand for blue
    collar talents", he said.
           MOE figures show 73. 23 percent of the 3. 64 million graduates from vocational middle schools found
    jobs in companies and factories, 10 percent started their own businesses, and 16. 37 percent went on to
    further study.
           Wang said the demand for highly skilled workers boosted the development of vocational education.
    _____, the MOE called for vocational schools to set up more market-oriented training courses with which
    students could easily find jobs.
    1. Many vocational school graduates lose their jobs for the following reasons EXCEPT ______ according to
        the text.
    [     ]
    A. their high expectations for salaries
    B. their poor performance
    C. their lack of working experience
    D. their unrealistic expectations
    2. The underlined word boosted in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.
    [     ]
    A. improved
    B. prevented
    C. ended
    D. started
    3. Among the vocational school graduates last year about ______ took up their own business.
    [     ]
    A. 540,000
    B. 360,000
    C. 150,000
    D. 70,000
    4. Which of the following is the best sentence to be put into the blank of the last paragraph?
    [     ]
    A. To develop vocational education
    B. To build up graduates' own business
    C. To offer graduates more jobs
    D. To meet the demand

          I will never forget what my old headmaster taught me. Normally when you are only 15 years of age
    you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. But this particular story is one
    such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story.
          It was a normal Monday morning, and he was making a speech to the students on important things in
    life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
          An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the
    subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would
    do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His
    house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could
    not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down
    the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over
    the years.
          The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited
    outside his house to tell the good news to him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of
    the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a
    millionaire. He said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up
    as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Obviously,
    this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story
    other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
    1. The headmaster told the story to the students to ______.
    [     ]
    A. make the students relaxed in the lesson
    B. remind the students to think deeply
    C. show how poor the old man was
    D. encourage the students to become rich
    2. After hearing what the officer said, the old man ______.
    [     ]
    A. believed the officer was playing a joke on him.
    B. didn't know many people respected him a lot.
    C. was very angry to find his house broken into.
    D. was not so excited as the officer had expected.
    3. What did the author learn from the story?
    [     ]
    A. One should devote himself to his dream.
    B. The old man was foolish not to stop begging.
    C. What the headmaster taught was very important.
    D. People must have a plan before taking action.
    4. Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards the old man?
    [     ]
    A. Pity.
    B. Disappointment.
    C. Respect.
    D. Anger.
    5. We know from the passage that ______.
    [     ]
    A. the author had a big dream at the age of 15.
    B. the headmaster was popular with the students.
    B. the old man begged every day without stopping.
    D. the neighbors took great pity on the old man.

          Like a growing number of young women in Vietnam's northern part city of Haiphong, Pham Thi Hue
    was infected with HIV by her husband, one of the town's many drug users. But instead of being shamed
    into silence, as Vietnamese with HIV and AIDS are, the 25-year-old tailor and mother of one child went
    public, appearing on television and at conferences. Her business suffered and her neighbors insulted (辱骂)
    her, but Hue has now become the public face of Mothers and Wives, an HIV/AIDS support group established
    in Haiphong by a Norwegian nongovernmental organization and her neighborhood's People's Committee. Last
    year, she founded a smaller group named after a local flower. People who need advice on treatment or help
    can dial a hot line and get assistance from able and empathetic (同情的) HIV victims. "We gather to support
    each other," Hue says. "When we are sick, what we need most is encouragement and comfort from people
    who understand our situation and are willing to share our happiness, as well as our sadness."
          On a hot and damp night last month, Hue welcomed into her small home a very thin woman, also a tailor,
    who was HIV positive. The woman tearfully told Hue that she had not told anyone about her condition, fearing
    that she would lose customers and that her daughter would be insulted at school. Hue became the wise elder,
    offering medical and personal advice.
    1. What did Pham Thi Hue do after she was infected with HIV?
    [     ]
    A. She kept silent.
    B. She worked as usual.
    C. She stayed at home and cried every day.
    D. She went public and gave help to others.
    2. It can be inferred from the passage that the group Pham Thi Hue founded is made up of ______.
    [     ]
    A. drug users
    B. HIV victims
    C. all kinds of patients
    D. poor people
    3. From the passage we can learn that Pham Thi Hue is a woman who is ______.
    [     ]
    A. weak and kind
    B. foolish and idle
    C. brave and helpful
    D. cautious and energetic

          Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now
    middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
          That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our
    13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
          We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of
    fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes
    it's got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
          Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save
    the young.
          A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed.
    But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon
    the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have
    never been lonely," the reporter said.
          The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (养老院) when a visitor showed up with
    a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were
    ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an
    astonishing power to comfort and cure.
          Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As
    my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
    Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me
    to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell
    which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.

    1. Now in an American family, people can find that ______.
    [     ]
    A. children never live with their parents
    B. not all working people live with their parents
    C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
    D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
    2. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because ______.
    [     ]
    A. they had never seen a baby before
    B. the baby was clever and beautiful
    C. the baby brought them the image of life
    D. the baby's mother would take care of them
    3. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting?
    [     ]
    A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.
    B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
    C. Because they have nothing to worry about.
    D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
    4. Which of the following can show the fact that the old often save the young?
    [     ]
    A. The old can become friends of the children and the children may not feel lonely.
    B. The old get excited when they see a baby.
    C. The old can cure the young when they are sick.
    D. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
