| As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day. On one particular day, I was teaching in a very 36 classroom. I was managing behavior all morning, and by lunchtime I knew I needed a coffee to 37 the afternoon. So during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 38 , I realized I had locked my phone and my 39 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 40 , which was a good five -minute drive. If I ran back really quickly, I could 41 it. But it was winter, and a sudden fall on the ice would only make the situation much 42 . So I hurried into a McDonald's in the same square, and 43 the man at the counter, who happened to be the 44 , to call a taxi for me. After I 45 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone 46 I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 47 to my school at this point. A moment later, the manager returned 48 to tell me that the line was 49 , and that he had not been able to 50 the taxi yet. I think both 51 and fear could be seen in my face. Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 52 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 53 before the bell rang! This experience made me 54 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has a(n) 55 influence on those who receive them. | ||||

| A few days ago I got a call from my old college friend whom I haven't seen for a very long time. The topic, which was about all the good old times that we had changed to a touching story when he started talking about his father. His father's declining health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered from insomnia(失眠) and often talked to himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few days as he had to keep watching his father's condition, became irritated and told his father to keep silent and try to get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired and told my friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him company. After his father finished talking, he fell unconscious(失去知觉) . My friend was very sorry for speaking the ill words towards his father. My friend, whom I knew as a tough person, cried as a baby on the other end of the telephone. He said that from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God to let his father wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his father's mouth after he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake. Often, we complain when we have to accompany or watch over our parents for years, months, days, hours or even minutes. But do we realize that our parents keep us company and watch over us for as long as we (or they)live? From the day we were born to our adulthood, and even when deaths come to us, they are always at our side. Imagine how sad our parents will be when they hear a seemingly innocent word of "no" come out from our mouths. We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints that come out from our mouths when we have to watch over or accompany our parents. No more complaints come out from our mouths when we feel that our parents have treated us like little children. There are so many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers. They long to have the things that we most complain about, but never have them. Actually, it takes only a second to think and light the lamp that will bring us to a place where peace is dwelling. |
| 1. Which of the following word can be used to describe the writer's friend? |
| A. Sad B. Sorry C. Regretful D. Pitiful |
| 2. What does the underlined word "rectify" mean in Para. 3? |
| A. put…right B. recite…by heart C. realize D. recogniz |
| 3. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage? |
| A. Your parents will keep talking to themselves when they are old. B. Be good to your parents when you still have the chance. C. You will regret in your life if you don't show your kindness to your parents. D. It is not easy to take good care of sick old parents. |

| After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian life. For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines(水兵)will ever to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.

Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individual may develop PTSD.

| A brand is a name, word, sign, symbol, design, or a combination of these, intended to identify the goods or services of a company or a group of companies. Another purpose of a brand is to contrast one company from another. The most important skill of professional marketers is the ability to create, maintain, protect, and enhance the brands of their products and services. Branding has become so important that today hardly any company or product is without one. Therefore, brand management is an increasingly important element in marketing. Brand power refers to the relative strength of a company's brand in the minds of consumers, and can influence consumers' choice of products. Brands are powerful to the extent that they give high brand loyalty and strong brand associations, name recognition, perceived quality and other assets to a company. A strong brand can be one of a company's most important assets. High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because consumers expect stores to carry the brand, the company has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers (零售商). And because the brand name brings high credibility, a company with a strong brand can more easily launch new products with the same brand name. Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand their business. When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour, form, colour or package size in a given product category and under the same brand name, it is called a line extension. Another strategy is called brand extension. This involves the use of a successful brand name to launch new or modified products in a new category, thereby employing brand recognition in order to increase sales of new products. Brand recognition is certainly important. Because consumers often hold long-standing perceptions about brands, high brand power ensure a company continued sales of its products. |

| A. points B. advantages C. aspects D. elements |
| 2. All of the following statements are the advantages of a high brand power EXCEPT that______. |
| A. a high brand wins the loyalty of consumers B. a high brand usually sets a much higher price C. it's easy for a high brand company to launch new products D. a high brand company is more competitive when doing business with retailers |
| 3. A brand extension ______. |
| A. happens when the company is developing a new product B. means the expansion of a company's business in its established field C. takes place when the company introduces a similar item but with a new colour D. refers to the use of an established brand name to promote a new product in a new category |
| 4. What might be the best title of this passage? |
| A. Brand Power B. Famous Brands C. Company Brands D. Brand Products |

| 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In America, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN-WIN． 1 However, as time goes by, I have gradually comprehended the meaning of WIN-WIN principle- it is the attitude of seeking mutual benefit． When I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers（跳棋）which include two basic tactics（战术） : 2 The other is to block the passages of your rival. Players may apply these two totally different approaches in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his opponent may take advantage of it. 3 Meanwhile, some player may take another approach to prevent his opponent from moving forward at all costs. By this he may get a short-term benefit, but couldn’t fix attention on the final goal, thus he would never truly develop further． 4 Its core is to achieve your objective while giving other people some benefits, so there is no real loser. One example of applying the WIN-WIN principle is the voluntary system in the US. 5 It is quite usual that some people are too selfish and never take other people’s interests into consideration, while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called "foolish" or "stupid". Actually helping other people can be of great delight to the helper, for he can also learn something crucial for his life such as sympathy, care, devotion, etc. So only if you take other people’s interests into earnest consideration can you assure your own gain． A. Playing Chinese checkers really needs skill. B. In the 1990s, a strategy called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western world. C. It was important for me after I knew its meaning. D. One is to create paths for yourself. E. Most Americans advocate the spirit of social service and voluntary contribution. F. It sounded strange to me at first. G. Finally he can always reach the destination a few steps ahead of the other player. |
