It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can’t imagine we will do without him when he’s gone. Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill’s leadership; we are increas??ing our share with each passing month.

As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company’s competitive areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

1. The speech was made ________.

A. at a welcome meeting B. after someone died

C. when somebody was leaving D. when they had a new manager

2. How long did Masters work there?

A. 37 years. B. Less than 5 years.

C. About six years. D. Since he began to work.

3 When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had to help him.

A. many people B. nobody C. about 37 people D. very few people

4. Bill increased the company’s sale________.

A. by 37 per cent every month B. to the second largest in the area

C. to be the fifth largest in the area D. five times as much as before

I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.

“ Dad, dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”

“ Son, hold on,” he said.

“ No, you can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”

“ Wait, let me tell you…”

“ Would you like me to throw it away fro you?” I asked.

“ Son, wait a second,” he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”

When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.

In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.

We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don’t get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.

1.Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?

A．Because it smelt terrible.

B．Because it had been kept for years.

C．Because it was mixed with something else.

D．Because his father drank too much that night.

2.What the author’s father said __________.

A．made the author puzzled when he was a little child.

B．was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.

C．threw the author into deep thought then.

D．was an excuse to drink the wine.

3.In the author’s opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will __________.

A．do it better

B．save much time

C．graduate from college more quickly

4.Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?

B．More haste, less speed.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

"Dad, dad!" I cried. "This wine is too old to drink."

"Son, hold on," he said.

"No, you can't drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago."

"Wait, let me tell you..."

"Would you like me to throw it away for you?" I asked.

QUESTION: Dear Marie,

Do you have some good suggestions of biology: plant, animal, human science experiments that would work well with teenagers? Scientific methods must go with the experiments. Thanks! <

Donna

ANSWER: Dear Donna,

Marie is not online and I’ll help you instead of him. There are a lot of little things that can be done, but do you mean lab experiment or statistical analysis, etc.? Let us know what can be suitable for you teens, and we will do our best to send you some experiments to do.

Best，

Gloria

QUESTION: Dear Gloria,

I need lab experiments. The teenage students and I will use data from these experiments to make charts, graphs, tables, etc. and to provide claims and evidence to explain more about the results. Thank you very much.

Donna

ANSWER:

Hi there,

Your best and easiest way is to do some chemistry experiments. Those are very easy and most probably you can do it in the lab and have charts, etc. for you. I do not have any particular one at the top of my head because I do cancer research and it is a bit more difficult than research for teenagers. I think you can look through these and see if you find something useful for you. http://www.siraze.net/chemistry/sezennur/experiments.htm

If not, get back to me and Marie, and we’ll look more. The good thing about this site is that it has the procedures that you can follow.

Good luck，

Gloria
