When I was young I wanted to be a model，so when a national contest was staged，I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演)．I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich，but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course，I wasn't signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes. $500 for a photo shoot，and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn't receive a call，I grew more depressed. The_ final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting，only to be told that I was too short. I was devastated (极度不安的)．
Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling，just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.
1.What's the author's parents' attitude toward her dream?
A．Encouraging. B．Worried.
C．Doubtful. D．Enthusiastic.
2.What was it that made the author end her attempt to become a model?
A．Her parents were strongly against it.
B．She realized that it was impossible for her.
C．Even a local modeling agency turned her down.
D．She realized that she didn't actually love the idea of modeling.
3.The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means ________.
A．the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset，angry，etc...
B．the final result that she was admitted by the model company.
C．the final audition given by the agency.
D．the decision that she made at last not to be a model any more.
4.What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model?
A．Where there's a will there's way.
B．Being a model is not that easy.
C．We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others.
D．We might set unpractical goals but the experience can help us grow.

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”
As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.
How things change! And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment (投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.
But it’s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2012, a goal set by both governments.
No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中国和印度的) century as the two countries started on January 1st the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.
But what is still a wonder to me is my mother’s drinking Chinese tea.
1.Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?
A．She was tired of Indian tea.
B．She had a son working in China.
C．She believed it had a curing effect.
D．She was fond of Chinese products.
2.What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10?
A．China and India have different traffic rules.
B．Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.
C．Chinese products are popular in both China and India.
D．There are exchanges between India and China.
3.What do we know about the Indian IT industry?
A．It is seeking further development in China.
B．It will move its head office to Shenzhen.
C．It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion.
D．It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.
4.In the text the author expresses _______.
A．his concern for his mother’s health
B．his support for drinking Chinese green tea
C．his surprise at China’s recent development
D．his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industry
5.It is inferred in the text that _______.
A．the author’s mother loves China very much
B．the Indians were not familiar with China before
C．the government of India encourages their people to buy Chinese green tea
D．the two countries didn’t cooperate until last year

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an icecream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste icecream. Just ask John Harrison, an "Official Taste Tester" for the past few years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product's quality. During his career, Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet icecream——as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道). Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like icecream, right? No, there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool" field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 icecream samples. He lets the icecream warm up to about 12℃. Harrison explains, "You get more flavor from warmer icecream, which is why some kids like to stir（搅拌）it, creating icecream soup."
While the icecream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the icecream is attractive and asks himself, "Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of icecream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working "cool".

2.According to John Harrison, If you want a career in this “cool field”, it is helpful to ____________? (No more than 6 words)

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she ways. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”
Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.
Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hepburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
1. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A. The use of sunglasses. B. The history of sunglasses.
C. The sunglasses wearing. D. Why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.
2. Why did Geena David like to wear sunglasses?

C. Wearing sunglasses was good to her eyes. D. It was good wear sunglasses when watching TV.
3. Early actors’ eyes hurt because _______.
A. they wore sunglasses. B. they went out in the sun too much
C. the lights on movie sets were too bright D. their scripts were written in very small writing
4. We may know from this passage that _______.
A. Audrey Hepburn was a famous film star
B. Ray-Ban is the name of sunglasses maker
C. sunglasses made Top Gun the hit in 1986
D. Men in Black must be an advertisement of sunglasses
