阅读理解。     Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts,
a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack,
which was very full, but he didn"t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he
checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and
a small package.
     "Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you
can find him easily," Tony said. "You don"t have any luggage, right?"
     "Only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry-on bag."
    "That"s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip."
     "Thanks."
    Is Brian a criminal (犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to
Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.
Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often,
the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package
with an air courier, but it is quick.
     Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel
is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn"t for everyone. But if you have very little
money, can be flexible (灵活的) about your travel plans, and don"t mind wearing the same clothes for a week,
it can be a great way to take a vacation! 1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. because he did not have any luggage with him. 2. An air courier is a person who _____. A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries 3. Businesses choose the air-courier service because _____. A. it costs less
B. it is flexible
C. it saves time
D. it grows fast 4. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he _____. A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of jeans
D. saves little money from the travel 5. The author of the text mainly _____. A. describes the activities of a law-breaker
B. suggests an ideal way to travel
C. argues against the air-courier travel
D. tells us about a developing business

阅读理解。
July 21^st 2007 was a typical English summer"s day-it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm. However, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door. a wave of waters greeted me. Thank God the kids weren"t wish me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the wall"s ceilings pulled down. At first we tried to push on through. We didn"t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we move to a wooden house in a park. The house was small. but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors, and I"d never thought how much I, I"d miss that. Although our situation was very bad, it"s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what"s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought. "We didn"t have a straw hut (茅草房) that was for Christmas. But I can"t wait-I"m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won"t need any gifts-living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there"s really no rush-we have our home back and that"s the main thing.

A. Wrong. B. Missing. C. Right. D. Found
2. It can be inferred from the text that the author _____.
A. was sick of staying upstairs B. cared much about her children C. could not stand living in a wooden house D. did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood
3. Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph?
A. Because her situation was not serious. B. Because many other paces were flooded. C. Because she had been to Northern India. D. Because some others suffered even more.
4. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story?
A. She valued human feelings more than before. B. She realized she almost didn"t need possession. C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed. D. She thought her own home was the most important.
