     Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Lisa. That"s where the similarities
ended.
     I was tall and she was small. My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style. Her
natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while
she was 11 and the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn"t. I couldn"t stand her, considering her
my enemy. But she liked me and wanted to be friends.
     One day, she invited me over and I said yes-I was too shocked to answer any other way. My family
had moved six times in six years, and I had never managed to develop any friendships. But this girl who
wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school..
     She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an all-right bookstore, a movie theater and
a park. As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, I tried to guess which house
might be hers. Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three -story house with a front porch? I
got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a
two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
     When we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was
my next surprise. I had never played with them. We sat on the floor, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had
wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon.
     Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the
movie theater gave her free tickets…Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each
other"s houses and spent every free moment together.
     Lisa, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence
and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your worst enemy can turn out
to be your best friend.1. The writer and Lisa were similar in the way that           .A. they were both tall
B. they had the same hair styles
C. they were both new students
D. they were of the same age2. One day Lisa invited the writer                   .        A. to go to the movie
B. to go to walk in a park
C. to go to her home
D. to go to a pizza place3. In the passage the writer described Lisa as a girl who was                  .        A. friendly and lovely
B. rich and happy
C. quiet and lonely
D. awkward and shy4. Which of the following did the writer learn from Lisa?A. How to make up stories.
B. How to deal with enemies.
C. How to live a better life.
D. How to make friends.

     Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was
seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake
his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning
from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(地方特色菜)in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale,
he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for
dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine
about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like
making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students.
They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were
passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
     Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He
says Lieberman"s charisma is key. "Food TV isn"t about food anymore," says Flay. "It"s about your
personality and finding a way to keep people"s eyeballs on your show."
     But Lieberman isn"t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show,
Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking
for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights,
Lieberman got the job.1. We can learn from the text that Lieberman"s family ____.A. have relatives in Europe  
B own a restaurant.
C. love cooking at home    
D. often hold parties2. The Food Network got to know Lieberman ____.A. through his taped show
B. from his teachers
C. at one of his parties
D. on a television program3. What does the word "charisma" underlined in the text refer to?A. Lieberman"s fine cooking skill.
B. A way to show one"s achievement.
C. Lieberman"s after-class interest.
D. A natural ability to attract others.4. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.
B. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.
C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.
D. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.5. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?A. he is friendly and active.      
B. He is clever but lonely.
C. He enjoys traveling around.
D. He often changes his menus.

阅读理解。        Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night
cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.
        She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“I would have
liked to go back to it, but the shifts(工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the
children up and off to school.”
        So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m.till 6 a.m.five nights a week for just £90, before tax
and insurance.“It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’
should get a bit extra.”
        The hours she’ s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her
husband.However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
        Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either.“I do get angry with people
who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs.If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps
they’d be a bit more careful.”
        The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all.Unlike some dark buildings at
night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three.“Since I’ve got to
be here, I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do, because of the other girls.We all have a good laugh, so the
time never drags.”
        Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she
does for a living.“They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said
Margaret.“I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think
that way any more.I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”1.Margaret quit her job as a nurse because _______.  A.she wanted to earn more money to support her family
B.she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C.she needed the right time to look after her children
D.she felt tired of taking care of patients 2.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _______.A.they never clean their offices    
B.they look down upon cleaners
C.they never do their work carefully    
D.they always make a mess in their offices3.When at work, Margaret feels _______.

A.light-hearted because of her fellow workers
B.happy because the building is fully lit
C.tired because of the heavy workload
D.bored because time passes slowly


4.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _______.  A.help care for her children   
B.regret what they had said
C.show sympathy for her    
D.feel disappointed in her
