When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too. One big disadvantage is money—It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon. 【1】What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A.Staying on the farm. B.Moving to the countryside. C.Leaving home for the city. D.Running away from the school. 【2】Which of the following is true about the writer? A.He is very old now. B.He is in good health. C.He prefers driving a car. D.He lives in the city now. 【3】In the passage, the writer tries to __________. A.express his opinions about way of life B.describe his life in the countryside C.show an interest in the outside world D.persuade the reader to live in the city |

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed. Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease(油垢) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. 【1】Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?

Homemade lemonade is an essential taste of summer．But concentrates （浓缩汁）and powders simply won't be enough. Luckily, great homemade lemonade is as easy as remembering a few numbers—3-1-1-1.3 cups of cold water,1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar and 1 more cup of water to make the sugar syrup(糖浆). When shopping for lemons for lemonade, buy large lemons that feel heavy and are squeezable. I find that half the lemon is rind（外皮） and there is very little juice. For that reason, I always buy a couple extra. If I think I can get 1 cup of juice from 6 lemons. I buy 8. As soon as I bring them home. I soak the lemons in a solution of white vinegar and water to minimize any molding or rotting．Often, a bag of lemons with one slightly mold（发发霉的）lemon becomes a whole bag of rotten lemons during a night if you don't do this．And you don't have to stop at lemons this is a great way to wash all fruits and vegetables. Before you juice them, soak the lemons in warm water or microwave them for 10 seconds．The heat relaxes the juice bags and makes it easier to remove the most juice from each lemon．Then, before you cut them in half, roll the lemons on the counter with your palm, using some power．This also helps get the juices flowing. Once the juice is strained（过滤）of excess pulp and seeds, and the simple syrup is cooled, you are ready to mix your lemonade. This can be done up to 2 days in advance. Also, be careful not to add too much water. The lemonade should be slightly concentrated because the ice in the glass will make the liquid weaker a bit. For that reason, I only add the ice to the glasses. 【1】Why does the author always buy a couple extra when shopping for lemons for lemonade? A.Because the author loves lemons a lot． B.Because a lemon contains little juice． C.Because the majority of a lemon is rind D.Because the lemon juice is tough to get． 【2】The speed of mold affecting lemons seems to be ____. A.uncertain B.slow C.limited D.fast 【3】What should be done to make the lemonade slightly concentrated? A.Straining the juice 2 days in advance． B.Making syrup cool as early as possible． C.Not adding too much water． D.Not adding ice to the．glasses． 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.Homemade lemonade—a unique taste of summer B.The secrets of making great lemonade in summer C.How to choose lemons in shops D.How to make lemonade concentrated |
