Tomorrow was a young man's girlfriend's birthday and he was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. He had a very special reason for a right gift: tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her.
He finally decided on perfume (香水) .All girls liked perfume. But what kind did she prefer? He couldn't ask her,because that would spoil the surprise.
At last he had an idea. That afternoon,pretending to take Fritz for a walk,he went to his girlfriend's house and got the little dog. Together,they went directly to the perfume counter of the town's biggest department store. He asked a clerk to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers (瓶塞) under the dog's nose.
Resting in the young man's arms,Fritz began to get tired and bored as this game went on. Then he suddenly became frisky (活蹦舌Li^的) ，wiggling in the young man's arms and barking excitedly,as the clerk waved one stopper under his nose. "I'll take that one," said the young man.
"My favorite perfume！”said the delighted girl the next morning. "How did you know?" she asked,putting some perfume behind each ear.
"Intuition (直觉) ，I guess," said the young man,deciding that it wasn't exactly wrong to tell a lie. One day,after they were married,he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse,that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the horse,if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar (奇特的) to himself;and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature (文学) .And the question, " How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is,you are not yet experienced (有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question,and I think that you will often begin at the tail―that is to say,you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
( ) 1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses .
A. very well B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule D. all of the above
( ) 2. The writer was surprised because .
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people's rule
( ) 3. You are not yet experienced because .
A. you don't know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
( ) 4. When you become more experienced you .
A. never ask question B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story D. should think of the beginning
( ) 5. The topic of the passage is .
A. How to draw a horse B. How to write a story

My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced, u Get up,you're going with me to cut grass."
The idea that my father actually thought I was old enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunrise,my father,my younger brother and I worked in the large yards,in a rich part of Atlanta,Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out,but I felt well. I had put in a day's hard work and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I'd missed and pulled me aside. uClear away these leaves," he said seriously, "and don't make me have to tell you to do it again."The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress (给. 留下印象) the person you are working for.
After two years my father told my brother and me that he felt we were old enough to do lawns (草坪) on our own. Every Saturday during my last year of high school,when I was 18 ,we set out early in the morning every day.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or highpaying,but that didn't matter. It taught me that any job's a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum (最低) pay, "My father never worked just forty hours a week,and neither have 1 ," I replied, "If you're only working forty hours a week,you probably don't want to do any better than you are doing."In every job I've had,from doing lawns to washing dishes,I have learned something that helps me in my next job.

At the age of 16,Einstein failed in several courses because he was with a group of naughty kids. One weekend morning,Einstein was about to fish with those kids,his father stopped him and said to him calmly, " Einstein,you're so fond of playing all day that you failed in the examination. I'm so worried about your future,so is your mother."
"What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed,but don't they still go fishing as usual?"
"My boy,you can't think so," Looking at Einstein,his father said patiently, "There goes a story in our hometown. I hope you can listen to it carefully."

"Einstein,no one can be your mirror except yourself. Taking other people to be your mirror will give you a wrong idea of yourself and behave like a fool."
Hearing this,Einstein was ashamed and lay down his fishing rod and returned to his small room. Since then,Einstein often reflected on himself and kept reminding himself：I was special,so I needn't be as ordinary as others. This was why Einstein succeeded.

A World Made Fat Han Longwei,a Junior 2 student at Jinan No. 1Middle School in Shandong,faces a challenge every day. A McDonald's restaurant has opened near his house. It's a great temptation (谤惑) because he loves hamburgers.
"I love fast food,so I always want to go into McDonald's whenever I pass it by ,"he said.
Han Longwei is 1. 57 metres tall and weighs 80 kilograms. He is just one of the many overweight students inChina.
A new Ministry of Education (教育部) report says about half of middle school students do not weigh a normal amount. The number of overweight middle school students has increased to nearly 24 percent. " Obesity (过度肥胖) may become a new student killer," said Liao Wenke,a ministry official.
Why have so many students started to become overweight?
Like many teens at his age,Han spends too little time exercising and too much time playing on his computer,watching TV and,of course,eating fast food.
Students often watch many advertisements on TV which make unhealthy food look delicious. Many students are crazy about snack food (快餐) such as fried chicken,hamburgers and coke. This type of food is very bad for you and makes you fat.
Not exercising enough and spending too much time watching TV are the other two main reasons why students are getting fatter. Students have to spend a long time studying and this makes it difficult for them to find time to exercise. The Ministry of Education report shows that middle school students spend about 10 hours a day sitting down and more than 13 hours each week watching TV.
What can happen to your health if you eat too much fatty food?
Eating too much fatty food can make your body produce a lot of cholesterol (胆固醇) . Too much cholesterol can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and some kinds of cancer (癌症) .
Han Longwei would like to lose weight but finds it difficult. His father said that Han doesn't like to do certain sports. "Because he is fat,his classmates often laugh at him,"he said. Han is going to try and stop going to McDonald's. "I want to lose weight to improve my health,"he said,"I just wish I didn't like the taste so much!"
( ) 11. Why does Han Longwei face a challenge every day？
A. Because a McDonald's restaurant has opened near his house.
B. Because he loves eating fast food.
C. Because he wants to go into McDonald's as he is hungry.
D. Because he is overweight.
( ) 12. What does the underlined sentence " about half of middle school students do not weigh a normal amount" mean in the passage?
A. About half of middle school students are too thin.
B. About half of middle school students are too fat.
C. About half of middle school students are either too thin or too fat.
D. About half of middle school students are neither too thin nor too fat.
( ) 13. All the following are the reasons for students getting fatter except .
A. not enough exercises B. eating fast food
C. too much homework D. watching too much TV
( ) 14. Why shouldn't we eat too much fatty food?
A. Because it can make our body produce a lot of cholesterol.
B. Because it will lead to many serious health problems.
C. Because others will laugh at us.
D. Because it will prevent us from doing certain sports.
( ) 15. What does Han mean when he says "I just wish I didn't like the taste so much!"?
A. He likes the taste so much that he can't get away from it.
B. He didn't like the taste but now he does.
C. He likes the taste but he didn't like it before.
D. He hopes that one day he will like the taste.
