| Rising above the names I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice. "Mom, come here! There's this lady here my size!" The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, "It's okay." Then I talked to the boy, "Hi, I'm Darryl Kramer. How are you?" He studied me from head to toe, and asked, "Are you a little mommy?" "Yes, I have a son," I answered. "Why are you so little?" he asked. "It's the way I was born," I said. "Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger." After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy's hand, and left. My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents. It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up. I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs. But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality. I'm 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, "Look what else I have-a great family, nice friends." It's the children's questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect. |

| 2. When did the author realize that she was too short? |
| A. When she grew up. B. When she was 47 years old. C. When she began to go to school. D. When she met the boy in the supermarket. |

| Wednesday, October 29, 2008 The United States federal government had two young men in the state of Tennessee arrested on October 22 on unknown charges. In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African- American school and killing 14 of them. Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to their affidavits (口供), the suspects' "final act of violence" would be when they attacked Obama while wearing white suits and top hats and driving"their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows." The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, http://wx.jtyjy.com/ Arkansas and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee. According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through a friend. Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share "very strong views" about White Power. Schlesselman listed "being racist" as his occupation on his MySpace page. He further wrote:"I'm white. I'm proud. I get angry. I like guns." Cowart also had a MySpace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of "My Guns". On his page he wrote, "Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever begging on your knees." Some have questioned the pair's ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party. "We honestly don't know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked about," said Malcolm Wiley, of the United States Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times. "But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is." Cowart and Schlesselman are scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday. |

| Census figures (调查数据) published last Friday indicate that the number of women in management jobs rose by 95% between 1980 and 1990. Most evidence shows that women are still in the lowest class of management and in the lowest-paying industries. I first noticed that girls were different from boys when I was about 4 years old. No experiences either in my personal life or in my business life have caused me to change my opinion. Throughout my adult life, however, I have had to evaluate again and again these differences between men and women and how they affect the way men and women relate to one another and to the environment in which they work. Working with women has given me deep understanding I would never have gained in any other way. Women are working at a decided disadvantage in the business world created by men to make things comfortable for men. To me, this means men often understand the rules without having to be taught or even having to think about them. It is not so easy for women. If I may fall back on typically male sports terms, women have had to learn both the game and the game plan at the same time. At least in my own observation, women in business tend to be more honest than men. A direct question to a woman often results in a direct response. This quality makes it more difficult for women to "yes" an employer. It also makes women more trustworthy than the men who often can't, or won't, give a straight answer to a question. Women are also more open than men about their feelings, their ambitions, and everyday situations in the office. This makes them easier to be hurt than men. Traditionally, women in business have been more severely judged than men. They have had to be better in a job than a man to get ahead. |
| 1. What is this passage mainly about? |
| A. the unfair treatment the working women suffering in business B. the differences between working men and women C. the qualities of the working men and women D. the author's pity on the working women |
| 2. The author mentions the"sports terms" to show that _____. |
| A. women are more diligent than men B. women are often looked down upon by men C. women are slower in learning new things than men D. men always make things comfortable for themselves |
| 3. How many good qualities of women are mentioned in the last paragraph? |
| A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. |
| 4. Which of the following will most probably be the first sentence of the fifth paragraph? |
| A. For example, I have interviewed many people for the job of advertising salesperson. B. Another difference between working men and women is that men take more chances. C. Of all the differences that I have noticed, one in particular stands out. D. On the other hand, men also enjoy more rights than women. |
