题目内容

In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mom was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mom was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.

My mom went into her business because she had creative ideas. She got orders and filled order. But there was no goal and no real plan. In 1991, my mom’s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either mom or her partner.

So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you purpose to do your business is. If you don’t set goals, how will you know which direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can’t keep scores if you don’t know what game you are playing.

After my mom’s partner quit, she had to abandon her business to support herself. She swore she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn’t a “next time” for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was, she never had a chance to be everything she could be.

There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever they may mean to you.

1.What did the writer’s mom do after failing in her business?

A. She found a different partner.

B. She celebrated her 51st birthday.

C. She planned to have a second try with different methods.

D. She decided never to run a business again.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The writer began her business with a set goal.

B. The writer mother was a woman without creativity.

C. The writer’s mother died because of her failure in business.

D. The writer believes having goals in mind ensured one’s success.

3.How does the writer present his point of view mainly?

A. By providing examples. B. By explaining causes.

C. By making comparisons. D. By listing figures.

I was reading an article in a book while I came across a word I didn’t know. “Dad, what is the meaning of the word?” My dad, as he usual did after work, was watching his most favorite show. “You have the dictionary, don’t you?” he shot back. He didn’t even look up my face. I went back my room, and there on my study table is that dictionary. I looked it up and found it’s exact meaning. Ten year have passed and I still use that dictionary, along with the lesson I received earlier in life from my old man: to be independent.

Have you ever dreamed of being famous 1. a musician? At first many singers may form a band to practise their music. And then they may get the chance to give 2. (perform) in pubs or clubs. Later they may gradually become popular. 3., the Monkees started in a different way. They began as a TV show. The TV organizers had put an advertisement in a newspaper 4. (look) for rock musicians who could act as well as sing. 5. (honest) speaking, only one of them was good enough and the other three members pretended 6. (sing). So it couldn’t 7. (call) a real band at the beginning. Anyhow, their shows were 8. (humour) and they became popular. After a year or so, they worked harder and produced 9. own records and started touring. About 1970, the Monkees broke up but they reunited in the mid-1980s and in 1996 produced a new record, with 10. they celebrated their former happy time.

UrbanSpace in midtown New York is a place where white-collars come for lunch during their workdays.For the past a few months,customers have always lined up before a kiosk which sells a very authentic Chinese food in north China—Jianbing,or the Chinese crepe.

The kiosk is branded "Mr.Bing",and is owned by Brian Goldberg,who is born and raised in New York.Goldberg is very involved with Chinese culture.He was a Chinese major back in college in Boston,and studied in China 20 years ago.

"When I went to China,I just love Jianbing so much.It tastes so good.It's hot.It's fresh.It's customizable.They make it how you like it.When I come back to America,I can't find it. So I make it!"said Goldberg.

Goldberg's Jianbing plan is not a whim（突发的想法）.It was the theme of his business plan when he was a MBA in Columbia University.As a student,he didn't have enough funds to start.It was until five years ago that he made the first step in Hong Kong.To open the Hong Kong shop,Goldberg spent many weekends flying back and forth from Beijing,Tianjin,and Shandong Province,the origins of Chinese Jianbing.

After tasting tons,he focused on one kiosk in Beijing,Xiaoyan Jianbing,whose chef offered to teach him and his Hong Kong employees the recipe.In Hong Kong,"Mr.Bing" was fairly popular,but Goldberg always thought of going back home.

Two years ago,he moved back to New York and put himself into his Jianbing shop. Selling Jianbing to New Yorkers is surely not the same with selling them to Chinese.To cater to the taste of Americans,Goldberg applied several changes to the recipe after trial and errors.

The Jianbing as you see today at Mr.Bing's is a revised version: fried wonton skin is used to replace dough stick（油条）,and a signature Chinese spicy sauce instead of fermented bean curd,and there is meat,which Americans love.

Even with one storefront,Goldberg is selling hundreds of Jianbing each day.He is confident this Chinese snack can be something."Anyway,Americans didn't know much about sushi or burritos（墨西哥玉米面卷饼）back twenty years.But now they are having them all the time."Goldberg said.The great goal of Goldberg is bringing Jianbing to the world and establishing his own signature brand with "Mr.Bing".

1.Which of the following is NOT a possible factor for Americans' love of Chinese Jianbing?

A. It tastes delicious. B. Its price is very cheap.

C. It is hot and fresh. D. It has been improved.

2.The underlined sentence 'It's customizable.' in Paragraph 3 means that .

A. customers can make orders of Jianbing on the Internet

B. customers can make Jianbing by themselves very easily

C. it can be made according to customers' tastes and needs

D. it can be seen distributed among every corner of the USA

3.From Goldberg's experience we can conclude that .

A. he once studied Chinese in Columbia University 20 years ago

B. he takes possession of several storefronts in Hong Kong,China

C. before setting up his business of Jianbing he did market research

D. he has bought the parent of recipe from Chinese Xiaoyan Jianbing

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. A man's duty of spreading Chinese culture

B. Jianbing of Mr.Bing attracts New Yorkers

C. A kind of traditional Chinese food—Jianbing

D. Chinese snack can be something in the USA
