Some shoppers are 39 of department stores and supermarkets—40 the crowds, waiting in long lines, and sometimes 41 of finding anything they want to buy. They’d rather sit quietly at home in front of the TV set and 42 a friendly announcer describe a product 43 a model shows it. And they can 44 around the clock, buying something 45 by making a phone call.
Department stores and even mail-under companies are 46 to join in the success of home shopping. Large department stores are busy 47 their own TV channels(频道)to encourage TV shopping in the future. 48 can ask questions about products and place 49 , all through their TV sets.
Will shopping by television 50 take the place of shopping in stores? Some industry managers think so. 51 many people find shopping at a 52 store a great enjoyment. And for many shoppers, it is still important to 53 or try on dresses they want to buy. That’s 54 specialists say that in the future, home shopping will 55 together with store shopping but will never entirely replace(取代) it.

“Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July.A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous.The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds.Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain.If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then,storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement.“Storm chasing is 95%driving,”says Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm-chasing.“Sometimes you
Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen,and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However,for storm chasers,it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,”says Jasper Morley.“Every storm is an example of the power of nature.It is the greatest show on Earth.”

But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five children got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn’t sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty poor, no-frills budget (预算).
Then, one spring morning, on Mother’s day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn’t believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, tied all over the tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: “IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.”
Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, a trellis (绷架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden’s now very pretty, just like what I wanted. When I go out to weed or tend my flowers, I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me.
I live up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I’ll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes---every time.
I’m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does.
小题1:By saying “Do you see a money tree outside?”, the mother actually means _____.
A.Observation is the best teacher | B.Seeing is believing |
C.The outsider sees the most of the game | D.It is not easy to gain money |
A.wasteful | B.tight | C.deserted | D.helpful |
A.divorced when she was young | B.not caring for her kids any longer |
C.alone but not at all lonely | D.prouder with her garden than with her kids |
A.My flower garden | B.Marvin helps to realize my dream |
C.Love in Michigan | D.Money grows on trees |
There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files. A wrong turn, a hurtful word said to a loved one, a bad move — these we all commit as we walk our life’s journeys, no matter how careful we are in our steps. Once committed, we can no longer undo many of these mistakes, especially because unlike with our computer documents, each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us — the file that we are working on — but also others, the unopened files and computer programs in our system.
So I guess our life’s mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls (潦草书写) that can be effectively corrected with an eraser, or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button. But there are effective and reliable tools we can use—APOLOGY and FORGIVENESS. Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words “I’m Sorry” will flash on the other person’s screen. But, you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work. Sincerity is definitely a necessary part.
When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words “I’m sorry” flash on your screen, all you have to do is click back the FORGIVENESS (原谅) button. It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other person’s APOLOGY. But not only that. You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message “It’s okay. Forget about it.”. It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you won’t keep feeling so bad having committed it.
And lastly, don’t forget to keep clicking the SAVE button. Going through the whole process of editing—of doing and undoing, of apologizing and forgiving — is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use. Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE?
A.However careful we are, we still make mistakes in life. |
B.Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system. |
C.We can undo life’s mistakes if we are careful enough. |
D.An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works. |
A.one wants to make the computer work perfectly |
B.one’s mistakes won’t influence others any more |
C.one is actually saying “I’m sorry” |
D.one won’t make the same mistake again |
A.The UNDO button. | B.The APOLOGY button. |
C.The SAVE button. | D.The FORGIVENESS button. |
A.we want to go through the whole process of editing |
B.we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakes |
C.we want to make the healing process faster |
D.we need to use the computer properly |
Most interested applicants thought that it was the company’s HR department’s carelessness or a printing error. They therefore waited patiently for the newspaper to publish an amendment(订正). But instead of waiting for the newspaper to publish the company details, another three applicants took the initiative(主动性) to find out the company’s contact information themselves.
Tim did a search on the Internet. By typing the company’s name, he easily obtained all the information including its contact number. Lisa called up the local telephone number search service and found out the company’s office number. She called up the office and got the required contact information. Donna put in a greater effort in her search. She remembered seeing a poster by the same company in the city so she drove all the way down and made a few rounds to search for it. She finally found it together with the company’s contact information.
Three days after that advertisement was published in the newspaper, most interested applicants were still waiting eagerly for an amendment. On the other hand, the application letters and resumes of Tim, Lisa and Donna had already reached the hands of the company’s HR manager. They were then called up for an interview. During the interview, all went well and immediately they were hired. The three of them were a little surprised at how fast things went on. They were expecting for an aptitude test as stated in the advertisement. The HR director answered them, smiling, “Our test is hidden in the advertisement itself. To be a good salesperson in this age, he or she has to be broad-minded and very importantly, does not follow rigid (死板的) steps or rules. You are all clever. In a short time, you’ve managed to find ways of contacting us. It shows clearly that you have passed the test with flying colors!”
The fools sit around waiting for their chances whereas the wise actively take actions with great initiative.
小题1:According to the passage the company wanted to test the applicants’ ______.
A.sales skills | B.carefulness | C.attitude | D.initiative |
A.Tim’s. | B.Lisa’s. | C.Donna’s. | D.None. |
A.The HR manager of the company made a mistake. |
B.The company meant to omit (遗漏) its contact information. |
C.The HR manager of the company was unfit for his / her job. |
D.A printing error occurred in the advertisement in the newspaper. |
A.Many applicants thought the company made a mistake. |
B.The advertisement was very special to many applicants. |
C.Whoever found the company’s contact information didn’t need to have an interview. |
D.The company needed broad-minded and clever salespersons. |
A.no contact information seen in an advertisement might not be the company’s mistake |
B.applicants should be careful not to be fooled by the company’s advertisement |
C.opportunity always belongs to whoever is active and broad-minded |
D.there are many successful chances to be found in this age |
