| I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger. I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn. One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the "big person for kids". I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things. The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr. Young would give me an E, just like he always did. I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big person if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, "Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing. "They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help having a finger, Mr. Young. Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said. The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B + ; Mechanical Drawing, C - ; English, D - ; History, C - ; Gym, B + ; Art, C ; Math, D -. That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received. Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head. |

| Nothing says love like a dozen long-stemmed roses on Valentine's Day. More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers, the biggest day of the year for the nation's rose industry. It's going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style. Yes, a rose is a rose. But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money. Roses Only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the 90's. Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40th Street, contemporary white furniture and wall-to-wall mirrors give it an expensive look. Customers move about freely among the counters, looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf. Some customers say it's the high quality of the roses that attracts them there. "I spent ＄20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars," says one customer. Studies show more people are buying roses in ones, twos and threes these days. In fact, more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen. But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend. Even on Valentine's Day, when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as $150, 12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just ＄35. The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains. In addition, the company also sells other items such as balloons and stuffed animals. While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom, U.S. rose growers aren't able to compete with the fierce foreign competition. More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador, which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California, considered to be this country's leading producer. Now, instead of fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. "We have a few big fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers." As a result of severe competition, those in the rose business long for the good old days, whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price. |
| 1. What is the central theme of this text? |
| A. The US rose business is going from bad to worse in spite of the efforts made. B. The rose will remain the most popular flower as love never goes out of date. C. The rose business is trying to meet the challenges in the market to succeed. D. The rose industry plays an important role in American economy. |
| 2. How does Roses Only obtain success in the discount rose retailing field? |

| By 2010, spending on Internet advertising will account for 10% of total US ad dollars, according to "The Changing Face of Advertising in the Digital Age" from Parks Associates. Roughly 21% of Internet users consider Internet advertising to be the most effective ad format. It has gone beyond traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, and radio. Behavioral targeting with a variety of sounds makes the channel attractive. "Because the Internet is an interactive platform and offers rich consumer usage data, advertisers can improve their ad target ability and achieve better results," said Parks Associates research analyst Harry Wang. Due to audience and media fragmentation (分裂), large companies and established brands will move dollars from TV and other formats to the Web. Anheuser-Busch, Procter & Gamble, Verizon, and Wachovia have already moved portions of their budgets to online advertising. "The Internet has changed the standard for the entire world, and traditional media have to respond by making their media platforms more interactive and results-oriented," said Wang. The report was compiled (编写) from the findings of an Internet-based survey of 2,084 US consumers in households with Internet access. The group includes 270 teenagers ages 13 to 17. The report contains data from Parks Associates' consumer study "Digital Entertainment: Changing Consumer Habits". |

| I was working as a consultant in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents form and carry out their new planning projects. It was really a great challenge. At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer. I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn't want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone. A few days later, the president called me into his office. I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eye and said, "I hear your mother is very ill." I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside (平息), and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: Whatever you need. That was it. His understanding and his willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy that I carry with me to this day. |

| One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country. Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening. There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their "warm beer"! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. Another type of beer is stout-you may have heard of Guinness, which is a type of stout. This is a cold, black beer and takes a long time to pour, so don't be surprised if you have to wait for it. All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250 ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say "_____". Another drink is cider. This is like beer, but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet. Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) o r doubles (50 ml). It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others. If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake. Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar. So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, "cheers!" |
