| I had my first job at the age of thirteen,when a friend of my mother's who owned a bookshop 1 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 2 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 3_ interfered(干涉) with how I spent it,even when I was spending it 4 . They believed that by eaming money, spending it, and leaming from the_5__ ,1 would become more mature (成熟的) and 6 about how to handle work,relationships with others , and money. Like many _7 parents,my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 8 a great deal. When I was sixteen,for example,after I finished high school and before I entered university,l wanted to spend the summer months travelling around 9 .My mother was against the idea of my travelling alone at such a young age,but my father felt that it would be a great 10 for me. In the end,my father won the 11 0n the condition that I limited my travelling to France,my mother's home,where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 13 through the country who could 12 shelter and help if I needed them. Three years later,my younger brother decided to _14 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again niy mother was very worried and not 15 to see my brother leave school,but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) _16 year working his way on trains and ships to 17passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people. These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 18 . Most parents start 19 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves.By the time they have finished high school,many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own,have 20 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career,and so on. | |||

| When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Pe king or Tsinghua University; when the highest enroll ment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48: 1 ,it's the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is. Years ago,the answer certainly would be"Peking or Tsinghua University". But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students. It's no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热) ,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves. How can HK universities shake the steady founda tions of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students? First, Hong Kong universities offer large amount scholarship,especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400 000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families,it's easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great. Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语的) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is an other attraction for mainland students. Further more,university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students. Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it. The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in Cluna.After the awakerung and action taking of main- land universities,they can perform better together with HK universities. At least,it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students' top concem when they are choosing universities. It's time to move. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly talking about? |
| A. Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK umversities. B. Higher education in Hong Kong. C.The competition between HK University and Peking University. D. The fatal of mainland universities. |
| 2.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because . |
| A. many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities C. HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation. |
| 3. What is the author's attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities? |
| A. The govemment should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition. B. Mainland universities had better tower their tuition fees and win back the top students. C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition. D.lt may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end. |
| 4. From the passage we can see HK universities . |
| A. didn't mean to enroll top students from mainland B. didn't expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular C. have strict enrollment rules and only l out of 48 students can get the chance to study there D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities |
| 5. What does the author mean by saying "It's time to move" in the last paragraph? |
| A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students. B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad. C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities. D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge. |

| Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48 hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV. Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended her greatly. But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport. So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don't want an SUV. I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday. She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys. The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker. Patricia didn't make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped running. and I'm out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said. "That doesn't make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town, didn't you? " "No. Of course not ! " yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. " "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia. "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We'II send a man out with some spare gas for you:if you'd like. ,," Of course l'd like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?" The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn't tell her that there would be a $ 50 service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport. |
| 1. Why didn't Patricia want to rent an SUV? |
| A. Because it was a big car that would need a lot of gasoline. B. Because she failed to carry enough money with her. C. Because she was not used to driving suc, h a big car. D. Because it was not easy to drive since it was so old. |
| 2. How much would Patricia have to pay at least when she returned the car to the airport? |
| A. $ 161. B. $ 60. C. $ 131. D. $ 80. |
| 3. Which of the following is true? |
| A. Patricia did put gas in the car before she left town. B. The air-conditioner of the Toyota was functioning perfectly. C. The car broke down halfway there and needed repairing. D. Patricia was quite satisfied with the price at first. |

| People who travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea or air.Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The train will soon get crowded and dirty. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the joumey. Reading may help you to kill time but soon the clicking on the rails will bring you to sleep. During the day,sleep never lasts long. At night,when you really wish to go to sleep,you find you can hardly manage to do so. If you are lucky to get a sleeping seat,you spend half the night looking at the small blue light over your head,and when you finally arrive at the station,you are so tired that you don't want to leave. Long car joumeys are even less pleasant,for it is impossible even to read. On motorways, you can, at least,travel fairly safely at high speeds,but more often,the greater part of the joumey is spent on narrow,bumpy (崎岖不平的) roads which are crowded with traffic. When travelling by sea,you have a different expe- rience. You can have a walk.on the board, play games, swim,meet interesting people and enjoy good food,and of course,only when the sea is calm. If it is not,you are likely to get seasick (晕船的) , and you will find no joumey can be worse than that. Even if you travel in good weather,sea joumeys take a long time. Few people would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure of travelling on a ship. Travelling by plane seems to be dangerous to some people,and,it is also the most expensive of all travelling forms,though nothing can match planes for speed and comfort(舒服). Flying at a height of 30 000 feet, far above the clouds,and at 500 miles an hour is a very exciting experience. The joumey is so smooth(平稳的 )that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time,one thing is certain:you will arrive at your destination fresh and easy. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering(恢复)from a long and tiring journey. |
| 1. From the passage we can know that travelling by train . |
| A.is the most comfortable for passengers B.is so slow and dirty that no one wants to take a train C. seems to be very tiring and usually takes a long time D. will keep you awake all the time |
| 2. What prevents people from travelling by plane? |
| A. Planes can be very dangerous. B. You will feel sorry after travelling by air. C. Flying so high brings no comfori. D. Air travelling takes a long time. |

| Childhood was an illusion(错觉) and the illusion was this:everything was bigger. No, I ruean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and joumeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. "Are we there yet, Daddy?" Funfairs(游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an un- thinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain was unbearable. As I've grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion? I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world.l can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh with them, sonletimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I'm a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little. |
