题目内容

New York----Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago -- and the risk paid off.

The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.

She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.

Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生辉）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.

Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.

He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.

After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.”

Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（装饰品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.

The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.

It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.

Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美发沙龙）cut on her birthday last week had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night.

Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about？

A. Designer Wu’s great works

B. Mrs. Obama’s decision to return to her former fashion designer

C. The First Lady’s secrets.

D. Wu, a great designer.

2.Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a_________.

A. risk B. danger C. Surprise D. success

3.According to the passage, which of the following is correct?

A. Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.

B. Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.

C. The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satisfactory.

D. Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.

4.Which of the following best describes Jason Wu?

A. Daring and gifted. B. Unusual and cautious.

C. Careful and brave. D. Talented and lucky.

Dear Cathy,

I am writing to share my opinion on fashion with you, for I had just heard that you are disappointing because you can’t afford famous brands.

I shall say that it is naturally for people to care about his appearance. And it is true that fashionable thing like clothes and shoes will make one more eye-catching. Therefore, I think it is really a waste of money for you to buy famous brands. Besides, it will also add the burden of your parents.

What’s more, beauty is only skin-deep. There are many things in which can make you popular beside fashion. A great amount of knowledge and a warm heart will surely win others’ respect.

As the saying goes, never judge the person by his appearance. I do hope that you will remember the saying and be as happy as you used to be.

Yours,

Jane

Dear Sir,

I have just read on the newspaper that an English language secretary is wanting in your company. Therefore, I’m writing to introduce me and apply for the position.

I am a 22-years-old female university student, that studies in the English Department of Yunnan University. I do very much well in English listening, speaking, and translation. I can speak and read little French as a second foreign language. Last summer, I also work as a tourist guide and the boss I worked for were very satisfied with my work. You will know more about me whether I come for an interview.

Best wishes.

Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

One of the odd things about some business organizations is that they spend so much money attracting new customers but spend so little keeping them. It just doesn’t make sense. However, taking customers for granted is a routine in some business organizations.

Loyal customers are an organization's only protection against bankruptcy(破产), and losing them because of neglect or indifference is really wrong. Not only do satisfied customers continue to buy by themselves, but they often encourage others to buy. This is advertising that doesn't cost a penny. Although there are always problems in giving good service to customers, maintaining their business isn't all that difficult. It's a matter of attitude, of believing that everyone who buys from you is entitled to the best treatment you can deliver. Plus giving just a little more than you have to.

There are always problems in giving good service to customers. The reason, of course, is that no organization is perfect, and there's many a slip: unreasonable delays in filling orders, shipping the wrong goods, failing to answer letters promptly, and so on. Sometimes these errors or failures can't be helped. For example, if you can't get parts because of material shortages or a transportation strike, customers may be denied the goods they've ordered.

No matter who is at fault, customers whom you value highly should generally be given the benefit of the doubt. The old saying that all customers should be treated alike is a myth. Customers who repeatedly place large orders and pay for them will naturally, get more attention than those who buy infrequently and have to be badgered to pay what they owe. However, you have to make the assumption that all customers are good unless proved otherwise.

1.From the second paragraph, we can know that ____________.

A. satisfied customers should always be well serviced

B. devoted customers are lifelines of business organizations

C. companies can employ customers to advertise their products

D. it is hard for organizations to offer good services to their customers

2.Which of the following statements might the author agree with?

A. Only regular customers deserve good treatments

B. New customers are treated well in large organizations

C. Some errors and failures in business are unavoidable

D. Both an organization and their customers are responsible for certain errors

3. What does the author imply by saying “all customers should be treated alike is a myth”?

A. It’s not true that all customers are treated equally

B. It is an old story that customers receive equal treatment

C. It is possible that customers should enjoy the same treatment

D. It’s a rule that customers should share equal and fair rights

4. The main idea of the passage is best summarized as “_________”.

A. new customers are kings for business organizations

B. taking customers for granted is regulation in business organizations

C. maintaining customers is the most important thing to business organizations

D. business organizations need spend so much money attracting new customers
