   “Not a problem,” I said.

I went as   36   as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door. I could 37 a heavy, thick smoke. I put my hand on the doorknob(門把手), and reached for my key and 38  the door. “Here, Jim. Help!” Her voice was weak.

“Let’s get out of here!” I shouted. Grabbing her hand, I started to move on. I tapped with my cane 39 we found the front door. We felt our way down the steps, 40 in the sweet, fresh summer air, and to the gate of her yard. Thank you, Lord. We’re all safe.

My parents have always raised me to be very money-conscious, so I guess, in that sense, they are rather untraditional. Since I was a little girl, if I ever wanted to purchase anything, my parents would sternly(嚴厲地) remind me of the value of every cent, prompting me to spend my pocket money only when necessary. My mom actually came up with a system that we strictly abide (遵守)by in regards to money-spending. She gives me a certain amount of allowance(津貼) every month, and whenever I buy anything with my accumulated(積聚) money, I keep track of my receipts and record it in a little notebook, essentially a tiny version of my mom’s own accounting booklet.
     Being in control of my own money has really taught me to be careful in how I spend my money, giving me a sense of responsibility and ownership over it.
     As for earning money, aside from my allowance, my parents never really encouraged me to go out and find a job at typical American occupation locales(現(xiàn)場), such as restaurants or clothing stores. Instead, they would prefer that I spend my time focusing on my schoolwork, which I guess is where my parents become more traditional. Yet I still earn money here and there in little jobs, such as teaching students at my school, and of course, writing for the paper.
     Though I have several friends already working, I am pretty happy with my current situation. I am able to focus on my studies, all the while earning quite a bit of money, and also learning monetary (貨幣的) skills that are crucial to survival in the real world, and for that I am grateful.

The richest man in the world can now also claim a degree from the college he dropped out of three decades ago.

  Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates delivered the commencement (典禮) address at Harvard University on Thursday, and was awarded the L. L. D. honorary doctorate (博士頭銜).

  “Our speaker is known as the most influential entrepreneur(企業(yè)家) of the personal computer revolution. He was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2004, 2005, 2006 and again in 2007, ” said Harvard’s president, Derek Bok. Then Bok spoke more directly to Gates: “Just think what you could have achieved if you had stayed another two years.”

  Gates told the students, many of whom will soon be launching into full-time careers, that work isn’t the only thing of importance.

  “Judge yourself not on the professional accomplishments but on how well you have addressed the world’s inequities, how you have treated people who have nothing to do with you,” he said.

  In recent months, Gates has been giving a larger part of his time and energy to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which focuses on issues including global health and education. In 2008, he plans to make the foundation his chief responsibility.

  But for the most part, the Microsoft co-founder stuck to the serious message about trying to make the world a better place. He urged the graduates not to get discouraged about seemingly intractable (棘手的) challenges of poverty and poor health.

  As many as 30,000 people were expected to attend the outdoor commencement ceremony.

  Gates wasn’t the only high-profile speaker on the Cambridge campus this week. On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton delivered Harvard’s Class Day speech. Gates and Clinton have collaborated (合作) on great efforts to fight the AIDS epidemic in developing countries.

  Recent past Harvard commencement speakers have included journalist Jim Lehrer in 2006, actor and writer John Lithgow in 2005 and United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in 2004.

45. We know from the text that Bill Gates__________.

A. got an important award from Harvard University

B. left the college for his career ahead of two years

C. addressed at Harvard University for the high-profile speaker

D. urged the graduates not to fight the AIDS in developing countries

46. What is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?

A. it claims a degree from the college one dropped out of

B. it delivers the commencement address at Harvard University.

C. it fixes its eyes on issues about health and education throughout the world.

D. it collaborates on great efforts to attend the commencement ceremony

47. On this special day, Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT that _______.

A. he claimed a degree      B. he used much of his time and energy to his Foundation

C. he gave a speech.        D. he went to work with journalist Jim Lehrer

48. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________.

A. A large number of some famous men went to Harvard University after success

B. Harvard University only brings up some journalists, actors and writers

C. General Kofi Annan acted as a professor at Harvard University after retirement

D. Jim Lehrer,John Lithgow and Kofi Annan are Gates’ brothers

C

Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify myself.

  True, I’m not modest at all. People may call me conceited (自負的). But I think otherwise.

  I also appreciate other people. I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?

  We Chinese  generally tend to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic (鄉(xiāng)巴佬的) woman” or his writings “trash”, he would, I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you respectively.

  I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑視的) a melon peddler(商販), named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?

  Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.

  Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication (貢獻) and enjoyment of work. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he pauses to admire his own essays.

  Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.

49. The best title for the passage would be __________.

A. On Self-Appreciation                        B. Types of Appreciation

C. Power of Appreciation                          D. Uses of Appreciation

50. The underlined word “zhuojing” in Paragraph 4 means _________.

A. wife high in position                         B. wife low in position

C. wise wife                                                 D. foolish wife

51. The writer points out with an example about an old Chinese saying that _________.

A. self-appreciation is also an active way of attitude to life and work

B. a false modesty will lose confidence in continuing with writing

C. one person pauses to admire his own essays without self-appreciation

D. one doesn’t praise his melons if his melons are really sweet and juicy

52. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If I find what I’ve done or written is wrong, I’ll appreciate myself.

B. I never appreciate other people because I think others are foolish.

C. If you think poorly of your friend’s writings, perhaps he’ll be angry at you.

D. Lao Wang will die of starvation because he never praises his melons.

Architects often have to deal with difficult clients (客戶), but Lee Ehmke's customers are especially hard to work for. They sleep through meetings. They never pay. They don't even use bathrooms when they have to go.

Nevertheless, Ehmke puts up with such rude behavior, and he does it happily. Why? Because he designs homes for gorillas(大猩猩), bears, lions, and other zoo animals. And he enjoys the challenge of looking at the world through their exotic (奇異的) eyes.

"The role of a zoo designer is to think as much as possible about what will make each animal comfortable, happy, and active," says Ehmke, director of the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley.

"It would be wrong to say you can know what an animal is thinking and feeling," he adds. "But we do our best to get as close to that as possible when we're designing homes for them."

Most zoo visitors focus on the animals, not on the habitats and barriers that fence the animals in. But details like these have received extra attention since December, when a female Siberian tiger escaped her enclosure (圍欄) at the San Francisco Zoo. The 4-year-old, 350-pound cat killed one person and injured two others.

The incident raised fears among zoo goers and sent staff at zoos across the nation rushing to evaluate how safe their own exhibits are. Still, experts say, the tragic event should not scare people away from zoos.

"There have probably been 5 billion visits to zoos in the last 50 years," Ehmke says. "This is the first time this has happened."

57. What is Lee Ehmke?

A. An official           B. A professor          C. A designer           D. A feeder

58. What does the underlined expression “Lee Ehmke's customers” refer to?

A. Architects           B. Animals             C. Bathrooms          D. Visitors

59. Focusing on the habitats and barriers begins with ___________.

A. architects’ designing homes for the zoo animals.

B. animals’ looking at the world through their exotic eyes.

C. a female Siberian tiger’s escaping and killing one person.

D. the nation rushing to evaluate how important the zoos.

60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. All the zoo animals in the passage are very easy to deal with.

B. The purpose of a zoo designer is to make the zoo animals’ lives easier.

C. Many of the zoo visitors would pay attention to the animals’ enclosures.

D. There are 5 billion tragic events that happened in the zoos in the last 50 years.
