Martha Graham, born in 1894s was one of the most fa?mous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the mod?ern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.

Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. In 1916, she began her stud?ies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Re?lated Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.

  In 1936， Graham made her defining work, Chronicle which signalled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, re?flected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.

Graham continued to dance when past the age of seven?ty. Once again* she met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last comple?ted ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. A Dancer's Life is an introduction to Graham and her work. It tells about her dances and her dance group and shows some of their meth?ods.

Martha Graham received many awards during her life?time, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civi卜ian honour. She died in 1991 at the age 

of ninety-six. In 1998， TIME magazine listed her as the "Dancer of the Centu?ry" and one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

A [2015 .北京市西城区高三一模] 

   I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situa?tion I've found myself in.

   My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she real?ized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed. 

   "I'll be right back," she said.

 She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. "Do you have money Tor me, son?" she said. "I'll need to be paid."

I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.

By the time my mum returned, I was angry. " You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, but I had nothing to give her ！"

  Now that I'm an adult, you'll never catch me with less than $ 200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it.

I've always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the mid?dle of his talk, the light bulb(灯泡)on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.

"It's Okay," he announced. "There's nothing to worry about.，，

We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead pro?jector. Who could even think of that?

  I often tell my students, "When you go into the wilder?ness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you. ，， And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared.

1. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases?

A.     The boy was shopping by himself.

B.     The boy's mother asked her to do so.

C.     The cashier was playing a joke on him.

2. Why was the boy angry with his mother?

 

A.     His mother left him alone.

B.      He lost face in front of the cashier.

C.      His mother forgot to buy something.

D.     He had just quarrelled with the cashier.

3.  Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?

 

A.     He was always well prepared.

B.      His presentation was about bulbs.

C.      He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.

D.       He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.

4. What do the two stories tell us?

 

A.     Accidents happen almost every day.

B.     Money is the key that opens all doors.

C.     In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.

D.     Chances favour those who are well prepared.

B [2015 .山东潍坊高三一模]

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the US. The restaurants' dishes are not "fast food". They are known as "fast casual".

  Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald's has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014， McDonald's net in?come dropped by about $ 300 million. 丁he January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald's is struggling to get its customers back. Shake Shack is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $ 21 a share to just under $ 46 a share. Being part of the "fast casual" trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the US include Chipotle and Panera.

Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans' restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it's new. It is creative, it is something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms Riggs says, "It's growing by leaps and bounds ， because it meets consumers' needs. They know it's being prepared while they wait and that it's fresh, quality and good-tasting food at reasonable and affordable prices."

Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.

4.  What is the trouble with McDonald's?

 

A.     Its share goes down to $ 21.

B.     Shake Shack has taken its place.

C.     It's not popular with Americans.

D.     Its sales and income have dropped.

5. We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans____________ .

 

A.     like to try something new

B.     care only about the quality

C.     don't like fast food any more

D.     pay more restaurant visits to fast casual

6. What does the underlined phrase "by leaps and bounds" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Steadily.                              B. Rapidly.

C. Slowly.                                 D. Normally.

 7.  Which of the following best describes fast casual?

 

A.    Fresh-made and tasty.

B.    High-quality and expensive.

C.    Farm-to-table and traditional.

  D.   Time-consuming and special.

B [2015 •安徽合肥第二次质裣〗Why do people feel so rushed? Part of this is a perception (感知)problem. Generally, people in rich countries have more free time than they used to. This is particularly true in Europe, but even in America free time has been inching up. Women's paid work has risen a lot over this period,but their time in unpaid work, like cooking and cleaning, has fallen even more significantly, thanks in part to dishwashers, wash?ing machines and microwaves, and also to the fact that men shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to.

   The problem, then, is less how much time people have than how they see it. Ever since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labour hours in the 18th century, time has been understood in relation to money. Once hours are fi?nancially quantified (量 化)， people worry more about wast?ing, but tend to save or use them more profitably. When economies grow and incomes rise, everyone's time becomes more valuable. And the more valuable something becomes, the rarer it seems.

Once seeing their time in terms of money, people often grow stingy with the former to maximize the latter. Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and tend to feel more upset when they are not working.

The relationship between time, money and anxiety is something Gary S. Becker noticed in America's post-war boom years. "If anything, time is used more carefully today than a century ago?" he noted in 1965. He found that when people are paid more to work? they tend to work longer hours, because working becomes a more profitable use of time. So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time. Leisure time starts to seem more stressful, as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all.

5.Women's time in unpaid work has fallen partly because

 A.  men's ability to support their families has been im?proved

B.   men's involvement in housework has increased

C.   women's leisure time was taken up by heavy house?work

D.  women become more skilled at household equipment

6. From the second paragraph, we learn that .

 A. labour hours were recorded with a clock

B. people haven't realized the value of time

C. more work hours bring in more money

D.  the rise of incomes makes time less valuable

7.The underlined phrase "grow stingy with" in Paragraph 3
can probably be replaced by "___________

 A.     refuse to delay

B.     intend to kill

C.     try to accumulate

D.     hesitate to spend

8. According to Gary Becker, what causes people feel anx?ious about time?

 A.     The wrong way of time being spent.

B.     People's willingness to work hard.

C.     The increasing value of work time.

D.     More and more leisure time.
