13．When I was just 16，my father decided to turn an old guesthouse into a hotel，and he experimented with everything．None of us had ever worked in a hotel before，but my dad was sure of what guests would like to see．
For a month that summer，I served as a waitress at breakfast and dinner，which gave me the middle of the day free for studying．Like all the others，I did what the instructions said and treated the guests as though they were special visitors in my own home．
I soon learned how to deal with the most daunting person in the kitchen：the cook，Gordon．He had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason．I avoided him as much as possible and always took the dishes with a frozen expression on my face which was turned into a sweet smile in the space between kitchen and dining room．
Breakfast waitressing was，I found，more enjoyable than the dinner service．The guests came wandering into the dining room，looking with appreciation at the view of the sea and islands through the dining room window．It was funny how differently people behaved in the evenings，dressed up and talking with louder，colder voices，not always returning my smile．However，that all changed when dad created a special role for me．
It began with a few common cakes for the guests'packed lunches and progressed to fancy cakes for afternoon teas．This led to the climax：a nightly show known as Lucy's Sweet Trolley．Every evening，I carried the most amazing collection of cakes and other desserts．Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them．Some-Jacobit Grenades，Mocha Genghis Khan and Goat's Milk Bavarios to name a few-were really strange．It was dad's idea that I should dress smartly and stop at each table and recite the name of each dish．
21．What did the people working at the hotel have in common？D
A．They all understood the guests'expectations．
B．They all studied at the middle of the day．
C．they all had enough experience．
D．They all followed the rules．
22．What does the underlined word"daunting"in Paragraph 3mean？D
A．CarefulB．NervousC．InterestingD．Frightening
23．Why did Lucy enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners？A
A．The guests were friendlier．
B．There were more types of food to satisfy the guests．
C．The dining room was quieter．
D．The guests dressed up for the beginning of a new day．
24．What was special about the food on Lucy's Sweet Trolley？B
A．It was based on traditional dishes．
B．It contained a number of new creations．
C．It was made following her father's instructions．
D．It was prepared along with the food for lunches．

分析 本文讲述了作者16岁的时候，爸爸开了一家餐馆，尽管都没有经验，但是他们请了厨师并自创新菜，取得了很大成功．

解答 DDAB
21．D 细节理解题．根据第二段中的"Like all the others，I did what the instructions said"可知，在餐馆上班的工作人员都听从指示、遵守规则．
22．D词义猜测题．根据划线单词后的"He had a great ability to-become very angry for no clear reason．I avoided him as much as possible"可推测，这位名叫Gordon的厨师令人望而生畏．
23．A 推理判断题，第四段中具体描述了客人早晚用餐的差别"The guests came wandering into the dining room，looking with appreciation 和talking with louder，colder voices，not always returning my smile"，由此可推测，Lucy喜欢早上当服务员是因为顾客在早上显得更友好．
24．B 细节理解题，根据最后一段中"Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them．"可知，Lucy's Sweet Trolley包含Lucy自创的一些新菜式．

A．slimB．fierceC．obviousD．great
4．From a very early age，some children exhibit better self-control than others．Now，a new study that began with about 1，000children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years．
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now．They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed．Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals．"
The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed  1，000children from birth to age 32in Dunedin，New Zealand．
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，"Moffitt said，"and they had the worst financial situation．They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income．"Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed，and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids．
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence．But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents．But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective．

1．The US government has started a website，Admongo，to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them．It claims to provide visitors with an"education"through games and other entertainment．
       A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo．"Call me Haiz"，he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it．Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising．
       Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities．Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers．
       The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things：To identify the advertiser．To know what the advertiser is really saying．And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do．
       Children learn these things through a video game．They create their own game character．They can choose different skin colors，hair styles，eye and mouth shapes．Then they begin a trip through ad-land，where there are ads on buses and billboards．The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level．
       The Admongo game takes players inside a home，to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found．It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing．
       One such area is food marketing．The Federal Trade Commission（FTC） says it is a big business．The FTC estimates that food，drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009．
       The FTC says children are important for three reasons．They buy products．They influence parents and caregivers to buy．And they are the future adult buyers of the products．
       A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value．First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children．

8．Why is setting goals important？（71）E Instead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happen．
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals．（72）F It's like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of in this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which can be found in a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver．But she drivers aimlessly around．Never getting anywhere，just using up gas．Which driver do you want to e？
（73）BThey decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren't difficult to set，and they aren't difficult to reach．（74）CYou are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life．
（75）AWritten goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power．Like a contract with yourself，they are harder to neglect or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal．
A．Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it．
B．Winners in life set goals and follow through．
C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are．
D．It's difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map．
E．Because goals can help you do，be and experience everything you want in life．[F．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．
G．Because everybody should have a goal in his mind．

In most cases，the things she bought aren't good value for money．Maybe she just enjoys（68）the process（过程）of buying online．
With the development of technology，online shopping is becoming more and more convenient．In the meanwhile，it causes a series of（69）problems（problem）．People are（70）easily（easy） attracted by the discount．So how to keep a good state of mind in front of temptation （诱惑） is an important lesson many people need to learn．
