stand out above the rest. Christy Bulkeley was one of those bosses.
Christy was the young publisher at the small Upstate New York newspaper where I worked 35
years ago, one of the first female publishers in the USA.I was green as a reporter.
A feminist of the first order, she believed women were equal to men, that newspapers could be run
by women. More than a few old newspapermen didn"t believe what Christy believed, and I"ll make it
clear that we didn"t always get along. The maddest I ever saw her was when I wrote a profile of Helen
Hayes, referring to the famous actress as Miss Hayes. She went angry. The title "Miss" was forbidden at
the newspaper. Christy was a Ms and would remain one, even after marrying.
She stood out in a crowd, which perhaps was what made her seem awkward in social settings. She
had short red hair, smoked cigarettes that swung from her very long fingers, and dressed in a style all
her own.
She also had the habit of crossing her fingers if you were talking to her. Obviously it reminded her to
ask a certain question once you were done talking. It seemed to work for her.
But she was always fair, she praised good work, was happy when the staff put out an extra effort.
She_was_a_good_sport, too. Every Halloween I had a party. One year I dressed as Christy. I wore
a red wig (假发). I smoked a cigarette. I found a pair of kneehigh boots and a flowered blouse and I
walked around with crossed fingers. It was an annual event where many arrived uninvited. I never knew
who would show up. It was a night of surprises, and what a surprise it was when Christy appeared at my
door. I stared at her. She stared at me, then broke the silence.
"The blouse is all wrong," she said.
B. She was the author"s one and only boss.
C. She was an extraordinary boss in many ways.
D. She was the first female publisher in America.
B. It reflected the equality of men and women.
C. It was very popular with older people.
D. It showed many people"s different ideas.
B. a sports lover
C. fashionable and active
D. a funny joker
B. ask us to get along well with our boss
C. advise us how to be a good boss
D. share the story of his boss with us

In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler. Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing. Tyler wasn"t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicineladen backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler"s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him. This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIVinfected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn"t going to s urvive, Tyler"s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven. A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered,"I might die soon. I"m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red.Mom promised she"s coming to heaven,too. I"ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me." | |||

More and more people are annoyed at the continually rising house prices. They want to know who is to blame for it. Local governments, developers and speculators (投机商) share a vested (既得的) interest in it. People who are really in need of homes are most likely to suffer heavy losses. Many local governments depend on selling land to keep its normal operation. The higher land prices, the more money. Therefore, developers back the local governments by buying land at high prices. In return, the governments make favorable policies to help the developers. For example, drive all the possible home buyers to this nasty (危险的) market. They even encourage large numbers of speculators to catch more people. Rising house prices have already become the fence which divides the Chinese society. It has caused widespread dissatisfaction. The government will lose the support of the common people if leaving house prices out of control. Besides, rising house prices will stop us building the new countryside as the present policy actually forbid people to flow freely from cities to the countryside. Collecting taxes on houses can fundamentally solve this problem. On one hand, it will discourage the speculators. On the other hand, it will offer a stable tax resource apart from reducing the sales cost of the developers. Secondly, stop the developers selling the houses before completion. If so, the developers will certainly try their best to sell all their houses once completed. And this will also lower speculators" expectation of price rising, which will decrease speculations. | |||
1. The only victims of rising house prices are _____. | |||
A. governments B. real home buyers C. developers D. speculators | |||
2. The local governments reward the developers by _____. | |||
A. offering enough land B. allowing sales in advance C. providing enough buyers D. making favorable policies | |||
3. We can infer from the passage that continually rising house prices will _____. | |||
A. benefit the government B. draw more home buyers C. help the housing industry develop soundly D. affect the sound development of the Chinese society | |||
4. Collecting taxes on houses has all the following effects except _____. | |||
A. making the developers do their best to sell their houses B. cutting down speculations C. supplying a stable tax resource for the government D. decreasing the sales cost | |||
