阅读理解。      At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his
schoolmates up to start a babysitting circle.
      Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a
company with a ￡30000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than 15000 by next summer.
      He set up Peter Backborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now
students all over the UK are using.
      "I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative, " he says "I believed
that I could do a better job and decided to have a go."
      Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies
course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his
business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one
holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
      "Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get
a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company because that is what will
support me next year, after I leave college."
      Friends believe that Blcakburn will make ￡1 million within 5 years.
     He is not quite so sure, however, "There"s a lot to be done yet," he says. 1. Choose the right order of the facts given in the passage.
    a. He spent his holiday preparing a plan.
    b. He collected newspapers.
    c. He set up his own company.
    d. He asded the bank for money.

Ｂ: b,e,a,d,c

Ｄ: b,e,c,a,d 2. When he was quite young, Blackburn ____. [     ]

阅读理解。     Years ago,I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from
mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her sitting by her
window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.
     After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was
unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "Why doesn"t that woman clean her window?
It really looks terrible."
     One bright morning I decided to clean my flat,including cleaning the window.
     Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for
a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
    Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching
hers through my own dirty window.
     That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through
the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)?

my own dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others" world
