4.Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris.He was wearing three shirts,a jacket,two pairs of socks,a pair of shorts,and two pairs of jeans.He was carrying one small backpack,which was very full,but he didn't have any other luggage.Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight.He found Tony near the Air France counter.Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
"Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris.He will have a sign with your name on it.I think you can find him easily,"Tony said,"You don't have any luggage,right?"
"Only this backpack,"Brian answered"You said I could bring one carry-on bag."
"That's right.One carry-on bag is fine.Have a good trip."
"Thanks."
Is Brian a criminal(罪犯)?Not at all.He is an air-courier.And he paid only $110for the round-trip ticket to Paris.Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day.Often,the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company.It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier,but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000people worldwide travel as air couriers.The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10percent a year.However,air-courier travel isn't for everyone.But if you have very little money,can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans,and don't mind wearing the same clothes for a week,it can be a great way to take a vacation!

25.Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?C
A.Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.
B.Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C.Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D.Because he did not have any luggage with him
26.An air courier is a person whoD
A.manages a business company in foreign countries
B.organizes international flights for tourists
C.travels around the world with cheap tickets
D delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.
27.One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that heA.
A.cannot decide when and where to travel
B.cannot take any luggage with him
C.has to wear two pairs of jeans
D.saves little money from the travel
28.The author of the text mainlyD.
A.describes the activities of a law-breaker
B.suggests an ideal way to travel
C.argues against the air-courier travel
D.tells us about a developing business.

11.Social worker Cathy Heying noticed a growing tendency among the homeless and unemployed people she served for nearly a decade at St.Stephen's Catholic Church in Minneapolis."At least twice a week,someone would mention car trouble as a reason for missing a job interview or not getting the kids to day care,"says Cathy,44."I thought if I could offer car repairs,I could prevent these problems."So in December 2012,with little more automotive experience than making small changes to improve her own motorcycle,Cathy signed up for a mechanics(机械学)program.After two years of taking a full-time course,Cathy obtained a part-time degree in auto technology from Dunwoody College of Technology.
Then she opened the Lift,a nonprofit garage offering affordable car repair for needy people."I had no mechanics,no volunteers,and only a few tools,"says Cathy.She operated from a partly closed area in a friend's garage.But she made itwork.
One of Cathy's first customers,Linda Granger,was unemployed when her social worker referred her to the Lift.Her 20-year-old pickup truck had a new heater,timing belt,and brakes fixed by Cathy and a volunteer for 600total,which Lindai spaying off in 20 monthly installments.The same repairs would have cost at least $1,800 at a typical garage.
"There's no way I could have afforded it otherwise,"says Linda.
"It's been a hard journey from social worker to mechanic,"says Cathy."But compared with other people's struggles,I have nothing to complain about."
21.What motivates Cathy Heying to open the Lift?A
A.The car trouble of the homeless and unemployed.

9.Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.My basketball coach (教练)at Princeton used to say,"On the court (球场),you can tell who is selfish."
When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family,she said to me,"I want you to take him out to play,to see what type of man he is when he,s not around me"So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times.I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy.
We played a hard five-on-five.He was thin but not weak at all.He played extremely left-handed.He dealt with everything perfectly.He wasn't the best guy out there or the worst guy.I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn't proud.Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的),very unselfish.He played as if he was one of us-he wasn't trying to be president of Harvard Law Review.But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team,he did not pass me the ball each time.He wasn't trying to suck up to my sister through me.I was glad to give my sister the good news,"Your boy is straight."
He isn't selfish,which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader.America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient manner.That's the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.

One of my favorite (28)A is"If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have,you will find yourself having more to appreciate."Think about that!
