  The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets.About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading   1   to the sea.

  “Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim.“Those two men are   2   heavy rocks.I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological   3  .”

“You don’t   4  a crane(起重机) to unload less than a dozen rooks, do you?” smiled Joshua.

“But those men don’t   5   to have muscles at all.”said Michsel.Rather surprised, Joshua smiled.

  “They are   6   laborers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they   7  .See how the man positions the rock just at the slope of his   8  .Some of the rock’s weight is set   9   his head, some on the right hand and some on the left hand.His body isn’t bent.His legs are well   10  .”

  “You’re right, Josh.He may have a small build.  11   he certainly well knows his job.Dear me! And to think we have been studying   12  !”Rahim thought about all that was happening.Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t   13   the human being completely, it appears.”

  “I don’t think it will.”   14   Joshua.“You can harvest a crop of potatoes or wheat with one of those large, multi-purpose tractors, but you   15   use that equipment to harvest lea leaves and tomatoes, will you?”

  “You can get a computer to   16   multiple-choice assessments, but you cannot get the computer to produce of assess essays, can you?” asked Michael.

  “Well, the washing machine leaves my shirt collar quite as   17   as ever -that’s domestic technology for you! ” said Rahim.

  “One day, perhaps, there won’t be anybody   18   who can carry a large rock the way those men do.It’s not going to be a very   19   world, I’m afraid.” Sighed Michael.

  “You’re too much of a pessimist(悲观主义者),Mike.” Said Joshua.“   20   will always be other things that will make the world exciting.”

   A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read.

   When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.

   When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money.

Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is

   It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”

   I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.

The author wrote this passage to _________ 

A. strongly recommend an e-book.

 B. show the author's attitude to money.

 C. introduce the general idea of an e-book.

 D. point out Rich Ezzo isn't money hungry.

According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication ______.

A. is what the author really cares for

B. deals with how to make money

C. is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo

D. is more popular than e-books

The author didn't write the review as soon as he finished reading the book because________.

 A. he was too excited to write anything

 B. he was not sure whether he did well

 C. he had to wait for Rich Ezzo's permission

 D. he wondered if the book would have long influence on him

By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, the author probably __________.

 A. shows that the book brought him many new thoughts

 B. shows how bad the traffic is in town

 C. describes the difficulty in understanding the book

 D. explains it's hard to change one's attitude to money

Which of the following is supported by the passage?

  A. The author had known Rich Ezzo before.

 B. The author hasn't dreamed of getting rich immediately.

 C. The author always prefers e-books to paper books.

 D. The author likes Get Rich Quick-type of publications.

               Motherhood is a career to respect

  A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

  “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

  “Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

  “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

  One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

  The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究员) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

  The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

  I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (声明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

  “Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

  Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

  There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

  As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激励) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

  Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

  I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

  Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

 

1. How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?

  A. Cold-hearted.    B. Open-minded.

  C. Puzzled.       D. Interested.

 

2. How many children does the writer have?

  A. 3    B. 4    C. 7    D. 13

 

3.Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

  A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

  B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

  C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

  D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

 

4. What is the point of the article?

  A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

  B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

  C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

  D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
