It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first Job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.
Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprises”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.
Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fart, it hardly looked like an office at all.
The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.
Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.

Books are treasures because they bring us knowledge. Knowledge is valuable because it enriches our life and brings us happiness.
All great men in the history of mankind loved books. There is no genius without books, because books are the treasures of knowledge and knowledge is the source of success. A man is blind and does not even know what he is doing, if he is unable to read.

Macaulay (马考莱), the famous historian, once wrote to a little girl, “If anyone would make me the greatest king that ever lived with palaces, gardens, fine dinners, wines and hundreds of servants on condition that I should not read books, I would not be a king.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给四个选项中选出最佳答案。
In the age of reality television, success isn't the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.
Hung recently has made an agreement with US－based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full－length record, titled “The True Idol(偶像) ” on April 6.
The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version(改写本) of Ricky Martin's “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid－act.
Hung's response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all. ”That's good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret：The off－key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking(摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.
But, it was this very bad act that sold well.
Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way：“Everyone of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off－key and completely unworried. That's what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”
Whatever it is, for the moment it's big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.
So, what does Hung think of this?
“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn't have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.
Now he says he's not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour(魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn't been easy.
1．What is the main idea of this passage?
[ ]
A．Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.
B．Hung's performance attracted the public eye.
C．How an unsuccessful person became famous.
D．Success sometimes does not require hard work.
2．Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________.
[ ]
3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?
[ ]
4．Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?
a．The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.
b．The judges cut Hung off in mid－act in the singing contest.
c．Hung became popular among Americans.
d．Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.
e．Three websites put Hung's funny performance on the Internet.
[ ]
5．Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?
[ ]
A．His success was based on his own hard work.
B．He attracted people's attention in the contest.
C．He was good－looking though he didn't sing well.
D．His character was completely different from other idols'.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给四个选项中选出最佳答案。
William Shakespeare, who is perhaps the greatest writer in the history of the world, was looked upon in his own day as little more than a writer of popular plays. Yet in this lies the key to his greatness. The theatre of his day gave him freedom, and, he in return gave it the best that was in him.
Shakespeare was born in 1564, far from London, in the little English town of Stratford on the river Avon. He is usually believed to have been born on April 23, but all that is known for certain is that he was baptized(受洗) on Sunday, April 26．Stratford was a busy little town, and Shakespeare's father, a rich businessman, had been its mayor for a time. Shakespeare grew up in a comfortable house on Henley Street with several small brothers and sisters.
All the boys in Stratford went to the same school as soon as they could read and write, and they learned the same subject：Latin. Perhaps Shakespeare was lucky not to go on to a university. Instead, at 18 he married Anne Hathaway who was 8 years older than him and was the daughter of a neighboring farmer. They had three children.
After the birth of the children, there's record of what Shakespeare did from 1585 to 1592 until he was mentioned as a London actor. It was in London, not Stratford, that Shakespeare got his education, learning not only the ways of the theatre but nearly everything else. He read books and met many people－foreigners, old soldiers, the whole lively civilization of that time. London was a port city of 250, 000 people, and Shakespeare could not have come to it at a better time.
1．Shakespeare is usually believed to have been born on ________.
A. Monday B. Wednesday C. Thursday D. Friday
2．In the school of Stratford, Shakespeare learned ________.
[ ]
A．how to read and write
B．knowledge required to enter a university
C．how to act and write plays
D．Latin
3．Why did the author say “Perhaps Shakespeare was lucky not to go to a university ”?
[ ]
A．Because at that time, universities were not very good.
B．Because he might not have been a great playwright if he had gone to a university.
C．Because so he could marry Anne Hathaway.
D．Because he was not suitable to be a university student.
4．The best title for the article is ________.
[ ]
A．Shakespeare's early life.
B．How Shakespeare became a great writer
C．The children of Shakespeare
D．The family of. Shakespeare
5．Which of the following is NOT true?
[ ]
A．Shakespeare was regarded as a great playwright in his own day.
B．Shakespeare was the biggest child in his family.
C．Shakespeare married a neighboring girl.
D．Shakespeare's life in London was very useful to his later playwriting.
