In the winter vocation of 2008, I was fixed with a job. I worked as a(n) 21  at Mr Breen’s  fruit shop. The fruit shop did good business. Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighborhood, 22_ he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars. Mr Breen 23 them all by names and they sometimes even had their order already made up, always 24  me to carry it out to their car. They were clearly longstanding customers, and I 25 they must have stayed faithful to him because he had  promised to sell good quality fruits. He had a way with them---- I had to 26  that. He called every woman “madam” for a start, 27 those who clearly were not, but when he said it, it did not sound like flattery(恭维). It just sounded 28  in an old-fashioned way. He was a great chatter  29 . If he did not know them, he would greet them with a few  30  about the weather,  31 he did, he would ask about their families or make  32 , always cutting his cloth 33  his customers. Whatever their bills came to, he 34  gave them back the few odd pence(零钱), and I was sure they thought he was very generous. But I thought he was the opposite. He never threw anything away. He was always looking for  35 for nothing.

I had the meanest mother in the world.While other kids ate candy for breakfast.I had to have cereal, eggs and toast.Others had cakes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich.As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids'.But at least I was not alone in my suffering.My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times.She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing.We had to wear clean clothes every day.Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace (耻辱) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come.We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning.So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law.She made us work I
believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us.Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing.My mother, however, would only be satisfied with black marks.None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout (辍学者).
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children.I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do. They are depending upon you to keep them safe. Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.
Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do. 
Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park. Let them take plenty of breaks.
“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”
小题1:The second paragraph tells readers that ______.
A.children should be trained to be more independent
B.adults should tell children some safety rules firstly
C.adults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme park
D.there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park
小题2:Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?
A.They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.
B.They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.
C.They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.
D.Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.
小题3:If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ______.
A.tell him to be relaxedB.make him share your interest
C.give up the present activityD.encourage him to be brave
小题4:We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ______.
A.he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children
B.parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park
C.not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park
D.visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting
小题5:What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?
A.等待B.发现C.进入D.离开
Everybody hates rats.But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan,Los Angeles,Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(救援) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives:the rat.
How does it work? First,the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens,the rat's brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat's brain activity jumps,the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job,rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says,“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs,and unlike robots,they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished,but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says,“It would be fantastic.A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history,people will be happy to see a rat in a building(but only after an earthquake,of course).
小题1:In the world earthquake capitals,rats will become man's best friends because they can _________.
A.take the place of man's rescue jobs
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D.get into small spaces
小题2:From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by_________.
A.the noise made by the ratB.the rat's unusual behavior
C.the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD.the smell given off by the person
小题3: In doing rescue jobs,_________.
A.rats smell better than dogs
B.dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C.robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D.rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
小题4: Rats have all the following advantages except that_________.
A.they are more fantastic than other animalsB.they are less expensive to train than dogs
C.they don't need electricityD.they are small and can get into small places
They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed.A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored (政府资助的) youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies.
“We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.
After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.
The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.
One form of protest(抗议) tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.
Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents.Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them.
“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the café, and sit and stare,” said Isabella Cault."There is usually not much conversation.You look for happiness.Sometimes you even find it.”
小题1:Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected _______
A.one million peopleB.250,000 people
C.1ess than half of the population D.about 0.6 million people
小题2:What Nicollete Steggerda said (Para.2) means that ________.
A.the students cannot get work after graduation
B.what the students learn is more than necessary
C.the students’ aim in study is not clear
D.school education is not sufficient
小题3:The underlined word ‘‘it” in the last paragraph most probably refers to ________.
A.material enjoymentB.a sense of expectation
C.happinessD.a job
What does “getting along” with your teacher mean? “Getting along” means that both you and your teacher have a way of communicating and getting what you need from the relationship. In your teacher’s opinion, he or she wants to make sure that you are paying attention, being polite, and trying your best to learn. In your opinion, you want a teacher who is respectful to you, answers your questions, and tries to help you learn. You can get along and learn without being friends with your teacher, although it’s nice if that happens.
In every school, kids will say that some teachers are mean or strict, but don’t judge a teacher until you are in his or her class and can see for yourself. A strict teacher may be someone who feels strong about getting his or her job done — teaching you the subject you are supposed to learn. It’s also important to remember that making mistakes is a part of learning. By pointing out your mistakes and helping you correct them, a teacher is teaching you. Remember, in most cases, your teacher is on your side.
Even if a teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship, especially if you carry out your responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities:
●Attend class ready to learn. Be prepared for class with the right pencils and books.
●Listen carefully when your teacher is talking.
●Do your best, whether it’s classroom work, homework, or a test.
小题1:The main idea of this passage is about _______.

小题2: If you get along with your teacher, _______.
A.your teacher will have to answer your questions
B.both of you will benefit from the relationship
C.your teacher will have to be respectful to you
D.you will have to try your best to learn
小题3:What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?
A.Your teacher is teaching you to learn the subjects.
B.The teacher has the responsibility to be strict with students.
C.Pointing out your mistakes is also a way for a teacher to teach.
D.The teacher is there to help you.
小题4: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the responsibility of a student?
