阅读理解。 | I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So,naturally I wanted to take a trip: to Canada. Montreal,the second largest city in Canada,is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations. After dropping off our bags at our hotel,we were immediately walking down the famous St. Catherine"s street. While we walked two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine. All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine,a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy(肉汁). It is delicious. However,we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help. We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we"d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveler can choose whichever direction he wants to go.

Apparently the woman who had bumped into her had cleverly stolen her wallet. This type of theft is called pickpocketing. Perhaps an even more harmful kind of theft is known as housebreaking,or burglary. After such a breaking,the victim.s often report a feeling of violation (侵害).They seldom regain the comfort and security level they used to have in their home. They constantly feel like they are being watched. They feel that if they go out,the burglars will come in again. They feel uncomfortable when they are at home or not at home. Thieves have no shame. They will steal from anyone that they think is weak. Of course,that means the elderly are their frequent victims. Some thieves are very clever; some are very lucky. All of them make an honest person"s life more difficult. Imagine that:a world with no larceny( 盗窃),a world where you can park your bicycle unattended on the sidewalk,or leave your purse unattended in your shopping cart.Is this only a dream? Some say that if you can dream about it,it can happen. | | 完形填空。 | Making friends is a skill. Like most skills,it improves with 1 .

"We were shocked to learn how toxic cleaning products were", says Ryan. Why couldn"t they create green products that would be just as environmentally pure as Aveda"s skin-and-hair-care lines? When Ryan"s mom heard about the plan,she stared at him blankly:"I"ve never even seen you clean your room!"Not discouraged,Lowry experimented with nontoxic ways to clean while Ryan focused on marketing. In February 2001,they mixed their first four cleaning sprays and convinced the managers of 20 grocers to try them. Once they had their approval,they tapped friends and family and pooled their savings to come up with $ 90,000 in seed money. From the start,"Go big or go home. "was their mantra(口头禅). Their first financing-that$1 million-was due to be signed on September 11,2001. By the time they got it,two months later,says Ryan,"We had$16 in the bank and personally owed$300,000. " Seeking a national retailer(零售商)proved just as troublesome. The friends set their sights on Target known for its trendy,affordable goods. "But Target didn"t like the product or the brand. "recalled Ryan. "We thought the deal was dead,but then a new buyer saw that even though we weren"t selling big volumes,we were profitable,just on a smaller scale. "They won over Target Consumers were hooked on the natural things and wonderful fragrance. Today,the partners sell 130 products in more than 8,000 stores,and taxes are over $ 100 million. Such rapid growth has at times stressed the men"s friendship. "Eric and I agree on "what" but never on "how","says Lowry. "Although we are willing to challenge each other,we come up with interesting and smart solutions. There"s little fire and ico between us. " | 1. The underlined word "toxic" in Paragraph l most probably means _________. | A. poisonous B. dirty C. expensive D. troublesome | 2. When Ryan told his mom his plan,________. | A. he knew his mom was sure to support him B. his mom asked him to clean his room C. his mom suspected his ability D. he was discouraged by his mom | 3. We can learn from the third paragraph that____________. | A. Ryan and Lowry wanted to give up and go home at first B. their plan didn"t go smoothly at the very beginning C. they made profit two months later after their first financing D. $ 1 million was not enough as their seed money | 4. The partners" cleaning products are sold very well because __________. | A. the products are made of natural material and smell nice B. their friends and family offered to use their products C. they cooperated with a well-known national retailer D. they convinced 20 grocer managers to try them | 5. It can be inferred from the passage that _________ . | A. Aveda"s skin-and-hair-care lines are not so successful as Ryan and Lowry"s B.
