Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter. She was moving into her a-partment i
n Atlanta, Georgia early on the morning of March 12, when a man followed her and put a gun to her head. "I was opening my door and I felt really, really afraid," she said in a TV interview last week. The man was Brian Nichols, 33. He was suspected of killing three people on March 11 and later of killing a federal(联邦的)agent. The local police were searching for him. Nichols tied Smith up with tape, but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life. "I told him if he hurt me, my little girl wouldnt have a mummy," she said. In order to calm the man down, she read to him from the purpose-driven life, a bestselling religious book. He asked her to repeat a paragraph about "what you thought your purpose in life was what talents were you given". And the two of them discussed this topic. Smith said, "I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust. " Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her. "He said he thought I was an angel sent from God, and we were Christian sister and brother," she said. "And that he was lost, and that God led him to me. " She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave. She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道)that the police hunt for him. "I cannot believe thats me," Nichols told the woman. Then, Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do. She said, "I think you should turn yourself in. If you dont, lots more people are going to get hurt. " Eventually, he let her go. Then she called the police. A US $ 60 000 reward had been posted for Nicholss capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith should get that money.

How did Smith feel when she saw a robber with her?

A.Frightened.

B.Frustrated.

C.Nervous.

D.Calm.

My father had a small business, employing about 15 people at any given time. We sold all s
orts of dairy products, and many more, from a small store in front of the dairy building. During the summer months, rows of eager tourists lined up at that ice -cream counter for a taste of my father s exquisite homemade ice cream. Because it was an extremely busy little store, the employees had to work very quickly for hours at a time, with little rest. One day, in 1976, we had a new employee, Debbie, who wanted to work in the store for the summer. She had never done this type of work before, but planned to give it her all. On her first day, Debbie made just about every mistake in the book. She added up the sales wrong on the cash register. She charged the wrong prices for items. She gave the wrong bag of food to the wrong customer. And she dropped and broke a half-gallon of milk. I couldn t stand watching her struggle any longer. I went into my father s office and said, " Please go out there and put her out of her misery." I expected him to walk right into the store and fire her on the spot. Since my father s office was situated within view of the sales counter, he had no doubt seen what I was talking about. He got up from his desk and walked over to Debbie, who was standing behind the counter. "Debbie," he said, as he put his hand gently on her shoulder. "I have been watching you and I saw how you treated Mrs. Forbush." Debbie s face began to flush, and she looked as if she was about to cry. She struggled to remember Mrs. Forbush from the many women she had given the wrong change to or spilled milk on. My father continued, "I ve never seen Mrs. Forbush be so polite before. You really knew how to handle her. I am sure she is going to want you to wait on her every time she comes in. Keep up the good work." My father was a wise and compassionate employer. Because of this, Debbie became a loyal and hard-working employee for 16 years—and a friend for life.

The small business run by the author s father______.

A.barely survived this year

B.hardly made any money

C.suffered some losses

D.was quite successful

The Tail of Fame An artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures

The Tail of Fame

An artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it. The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction.

"Don't quit your day job!" is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed. The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt. Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on. The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted.

Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. They develop a style that agents market aggressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there. Artists cannot remain idle, though. When the performer, painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public. After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month. Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing, run a significant risk of losing the audience's favor. The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famous.

Famous authors' styles—a Tennessee Williams play or a plot by Ernest Hemingway or a poem by Robert Frost or T.S. Eliot—are easily recognizable. The same is true of painters like Monet, Renoir, or Dali and moviemakers like Hitchcock, Fellini, Spielberg, Chen Kaige or Zhang Yimou. Their distinct styles marked a significant change in form from others and gained them fame and fortune. However, they paid for it by giving up the freedom to express themselves with other styles or forms.

Fame's spotlight can be hotter than a tropical jungle—a fraud is quickly exposed, and the pressure of so much attention is too much for most to endure. It takes you out of yourself: You must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be. The performer, like the politician, must often please his or her audiences by saying things he or she does not mean or fully believe.

One drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire well of a man's soul, and so an artist who remains true to himself or herself is particularly amazing. You would be hard-pressed to underline many names of those who have not compromised and still succeeded in the fame game. An example, the famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde, known for his uncompromising behavior, both social and sexual, to which the public objected, paid heavily for remaining true to himself. The mother of a young man Oscar was intimate with accused him at a banquet in front of his friends and fans of sexually influencing her son. Extremely angered by her remarks, he sued the young man's mother, asserting that she had damaged his "good" name. He should have hired a better attorney, though. The judge did not second Wilde's call to have the woman pay for damaging his name, and instead fined Wilde. He ended up in jail after refusing to pay, and even worse, was permanently expelled from the wider circle of public favor. When things were at their worst, he found that no one was willing to risk his or her name in his defense. His price for remaining true to himself was to be left alone when he needed his fans the most.

Curiously enough, it is those who fail that reap the greatest reward: freedom! They enjoy the freedom to express themselves in unique and original ways without fear of losing the support of fans. Failed artists may find comfort in knowing that many great artists never found fame until well after they had passed away or in knowing that they did not sell out. They may justify their failure by convincing themselves their genius is too sophisticated for contemporary audiences.

Single-minded artists who continue their quest for fame even after failure might also like to know that failure has motivated some famous people to work even harder to succeed. Thomas Wolfe, the American novelist, had his first novel Look Homeward, Angel rejected 39 times before it was finally published. Beethoven overcame his father, who did not believe that he had any potential as a musician, to become the greatest musician in the world. And Pestalozzi, the famous Swiss educator in the 19th century, failed at every job he ever had until he came upon the idea of teaching children and developing the fundamental theories to produce a new form of education. Thomas Edison was thrown out of school in the fourth grade, because he seemed to his teacher to be quite dull. Unfortunately for most people, however, failure is the end of their struggle, not the beginning.

I say to those who desperately seek fame and fortune: good luck. But alas, you may find that it was not what you wanted. The dog who catches his tail discovers that it is only a tail. The person who achieves success often discovers that it does more harm than good. So instead of trying so hard to achieve success, try to be happy with who you are and what you do. Try to do work that you can be proud of. Maybe you won't be famous in your own lifetime, but you may create better art.

??Questions 1 to 5 arc based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same

??Questions 1 to 5 arc based on the following passage:

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something, his purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.

All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they went. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly producesit, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being we1l, the deal can beand of ten is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone&39;s satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else. He offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman bring sout such a substitute directly, he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the sty]e you want, Sir! but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.”

Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual responseis:

“This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.

Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a 1aborious(费时的) process, but apparently an enjoyable one.

Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

When a man is buying clothes, .??

A.he buys cheap things, regardless of quality

B.he chooses things that others recommend

C.he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

D.he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too expensive

What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what wants?

A.He buys similar things of the color he wants.

B.He usually does not buy anything.

C.He tries on some other things, but never buys anything.

D.So long as the size is right, he buys the thing.

What does the passage tell us about women shoppers?

A.They welcome suggestions from anyone.

B.Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes.

C.Women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought

D.They listen to advice but never take it.

In commerce a good salesman is one who___.A.treats his customers kindly.

B.always has in stock just what customers want

C.does not waste his time on difficult customers

D.sells something a customer does not particularly want

What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A.The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

B.Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.

C.Women stand up to shop, but men sit down.

D.The time they took over buying clothes.

MRS WARREN: (piteously) Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me? Have I no rights ove

MRS WARREN: (piteously) Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me? Have I no rights over you as your mother? VIVIE: Are you my mother? MRS WARREN; (appalled) Am I your mother! Oh, Vivie! VIVIE : Then where are our relatives? my father? our family friends? You claim the rights of a mother ; the right to call me fool and child; to speak to me as no woman in authority over me at college dare speak to me; to dictate my way of life; and to force on me the acquaintance of a brute whom anyone can see to be the most vicious sort of London man about town. Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as well find out whether they have any real existence. MRS WARREN: (distracted, throwing herself on her knees) Oh no, no. Stop, stop. I am your mother; I swear it. Oh , you can t mean to turn on me—my own child \ it s not natural. You believe me, don t you? Say you believe me. VIVIE : Who was my father? MRS WARREN: You don t know what you re asking. I can t tell you. VIVIE: (determinedly) Oh yes you can, if you like. I have a right to know; and you know very well that I have that right. You can refuse to tell me, if you please, but if you do, will see the last of me tomorrow morning. MRS WARREN: Oh, it s too horrible to hear you talk like that. You wouldnt—you couldnt leave me. VIVIE: (ruthlessly) Yes, without a moment s hesitation, if you trifle with me about this. (Shivering with disgust) How can I feel sure that I may not have the contaminated blood of that brutal waster in my veins? MRS WARREN: No, no. On my oath it s not he, nor any of the rest that you have ever met. I m certain of that, at least. Vivie s eyes fasten sternly on her mother as the significance of this flashes on her. Questions:

Identify the author and the title of the play.
