Of all the things that have effects on your future, I believe that personal growth is the greatest. Many people talk about sales growth, profit growth, and possession growth, but none of these will happen without personal growth. In fact I’d like to have you memorize a most important sentence. It is “The key to your future is you yourself.”
There are many things that will help you better your future. If you belong to a strong, dynamic(充满活力的)and progressive company, that will help. Good training will help. Strong leadership will help. If the neighbors stay civil(文明的), that will help. If your relatives don’t trouble you, that will help…All these things will help. We can go on and on with the list; but remember, the things that I’ve covered above just play minor(次要的)roles in helping you reach a good future. The major cause doesn’t lie outside. It lies inside.
Strangely enough, when two different men work in the same company, the first person may earn $1,000 a month, while the second may earn $10,000 a month. What causes the difference when they have the same job, use the same tools, and get the same training?
The cause of the difference lies in believing, in trying, in accepting failures, in thinking, in a smile at people around, and in the ways of dealing with problems. All of these can be major causes of your good future. You can see all these come from inside. In fact, the real difference is you yourself. You are the key to your future. Teens are the most wonderful and important period in life. If you want a great future, begin to improve yourself from now on!
72. Among all the things mentioned, which one is the most important in the author’s opinion?
A. Sales growth.           B. Profit growth.               C. Possession growth.     D. Personal growth
73. Which of the following may play a main role in influencing you future?
A. Being determined.                     B. Working in good companies.
C. Having rich relatives.           D. Getting leaders’ help.
74. All may cause the two men’s different earnings EXCEPT that_______.
A. the second person buys expensive houses or cars.
B. the first person treats others badly.
C. the second man has a positive attitude to problems.
D. the first man gives up after failures.

Is your schoolbag too heavy to bear? The e-schoolbag will free you from the weight.
It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools soon.An experiment with several hundred e-schoolbags will begin in seven cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang.And the e-schoolbags are going to cover all over China if the experiment shows to be successful.In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-notebook.It is a small hand-held computers for school students.
Heavy schoolbags have long been a serious problem for school students.The average schoolbag of middle school students weighs up to 5 kilos.But the e-schoolbag will change everything.It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag, weighing under 1 kilo.Also, it is no bigger than a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, a notebook and exercise book.They could be made into chips that are as small as a stamp.The students can read the text page by page on the screen.They can still take notes using a special electronic pen.If they want to know the meaning or the pronunciation of a new word, or even e-mail their teachers, it’s just a press of a button.
In some foreign countries, it is becoming common.But it is hard to tell when people will receive this new form of study.Some say that e-textbooks can easily be broken, some say that it is not good to students’ eyesight to look at the screen for long.But only time will tell.
69.The e-schoolbag has many functions EXCEPT ________.
A.It can pronounce the words.                B.It can send e-mails.
C.It can be used as a dictionary.              D.It can phone somebody.
70.According to the passage, the e-schoolbags ­­­________.
A.are not heavy as before but still large 
B.are used as an experiment in Tianjin
C.are made of metal                 
D.are going to cover China if it shows to be successful
71.Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A.All the students in China will use this new schoolbag.
B.We can do a lot of work based on the programmes of the chips.
C.The e-notebooks are very perfect.
D.We will not make notes because the e-notebook can make all by itself.
America has been experiencing the longest economic increase in its history. Incomes have risen, unemployment has fallen, and cities such as New York are bursting with new office buildings.
But just a short walk from Manhattan’s skyscrapers, George Brown sits on the side-walk, cooking a lunch of rice and bits of fish over a can of cooking fuel.
Brown is homeless——one of the 2.3 million people in the US who end up on the street.
During the day, Brown collects aluminum cans and sells them for five cents a piece. At night, he sleeps on the street.
“I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that,” said the 62-year-old former construction worker.
Brown admits he had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine. But he said he still wants a more stable housing arrangement. He could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available.
However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York.
With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand.
A US report shows rents in New York City rose more than 27 per cent, from $549 to $700 a month.
One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up.
The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help.
But few housing companies are building for the poor. Many small apartments in the city now rent for $1,500 a month or more.
Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her. She is angry about his drinking and won’t allow it in her house.
Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he’d like to see more often. “All I’ve got to do is clean up my act,” he said.
小题1:What kind of life does George Brown lead?
A.Stable.B.Dangerous.C.Hard.D.Comfortable.
小题2: It can be inferred from this passage that     .
A.America is short of housing companies
B.the poor can’t benefit from the increasing economy
C.poor people in America will become rich
D.housing companies will build more houses for the poor
小题3:The underlined part “clean up my act” in the last paragraph means “   ”.
A. remove my cans                B kick my bad habits   
C. make a lot of money             D. see my grandchildren
小题4:Which part of a newspaper is the passage possibly taken from?
A.Society.B.Science.C.Arts.D.Business.
MONTREAL--He may be the world’s richest man, but that didn’t prevent Bill Gates from falling for an April Fool’s day joke by two Quebec radio comics (喜剧演员) pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
Montreal French-language station CKMF--FM said last Wednesday that staffers (工作人员) Marcantoine Audet and Sebastien Trudel had a 10-minute telephone chat with Microsoft Corp boss Gates on April 1.
The broadcast was aired on their nightly show last Tuesday and repeated last Wednesday.
“We were happy. We had been calling Microsoft persistently (坚持不懈地) for four weeks,” Trudel said.
Trudel said he and his colleague had already fooled Canadian pop singer Celine Dion and Formula One (一级方程赛车) driver Jacques Villeneuve on their show.
“This time, we wanted to give ourselves a challenge with somebody more difficult to reach,” Ttudel said.
He said he was surprised that Gates’s assistants did not check to see if it was really the prime minister’s office on the line.
Trudel said they imitated (模仿) Chretien’s heavily accented English, talking about the economy, asking about Microsoft’s Windows operating system and inviting the multibillionaire to visit a well-known Montreal strip joint (运动服合资企业).
The radio host said that Gates was not amused by the fake interview.
“He did not seem angry but he did not find it so funny,” the comic said.
小题1:Bill Gates was fooled mainly because ______.
A.his assistants were not careful enough
B.the Canadian Prime Minister helped the two comics
C.the two comics imitated the Canadian Prime Minister so well
D.it was April Fool’s Day
小题2:We can conclude from the passage that the two comics ______.
A.liked to fool famous people on their show 
B.thought that Gates was not a great challenge to them
C.had a good knowledge of Bill Gates and his Windows operating system
D.were not quite satisfied with their tricks
小题3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Gates ‘April Fooled’B.Two Comics and Their Tricks
C.Two comics and Their ShowD.A Fake Interview

Cars are too expensive for many people around the world to own. Not only that, many cities are already full of traffic, and many country areas have rough roads.

I began to send my first e-mail when I was 17. I discovered Google 5 years later. Now, I use the Internet all the time. Internet has become so popular that 90 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, according to one recent survey, and about half of those kids use it every day. They visit chat rooms and send e-mails. They go to Websites to get information for homework.
“Kids are now living in a virtual(虚拟的) world,” says Greenfield, “As the Internet is becoming more and more important for our life, we should worry about one question: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?”
“It’s X to answer the question because the Internet involves so many things,” says Justine, a media expert at Northwestern University. “They include networked computer games, news about politics, instant messaging and e-mails to your grandmother. ” So, more and more studies shows that the online world can be helpful in some ways and dangerous in others.
“Although it’s not easy to tell whether it’s good or bad,” says Justine, “the Internet, at least, is very useful and can be used widely by everyone in the world. ”

My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old. Then just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, “Why don't they just leave it alone?”       
Looking back, I think what sentenced the park to oblivion (被遗忘) was the drought (旱灾) we had about four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the trees, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.
There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park trees, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.      
The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work.  Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things are today.
1. How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers.'?
A.Scared.             B. Confused.        C. Upset.       D. Curious.
2. Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother?
A.It was being rebuilt.                         B. It was dangerous.
C. It became crowded.                            D. It had turned into a desert.
3. According to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?
A. The drought.                                   B. The crime.
C. The beggars and the rubbish.                   D. The decisions of the city.
4. The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came,         .
A. the situation would be much worse
B. people would have to desert their homes
C. the city would be fully prepared in advance
D. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood
