    These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They- were brave, hostile（怀敌意的）and＿1__ they would not take orders, and shouted "Amandla！”at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront（对抗）rather than cooperate. The authorities② did not know how to handle them, and they turned the island upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, the freedom fighters who would take our place③would some-day make the authorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.
    In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit with Winnie a few months before, she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths④ who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.
    The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island, and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way. We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964. But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities. They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive（不果断）．
    It was obvious that they regarded us, the Rivonia Trialists⑤，as moderates⑥（温和派）． After so many years of being branded a radical（激进的）revolutionary, to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling. I knew that I could react in one of two ways：I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying. I chose the latter.
    'then some of these men, such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students' Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention, came into our section, I __2____
    Shortly after their arrival on the island, the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men. He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves, to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life．I told him that I was not prepared to do that. Under the circumstances, they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities.
    (-adapted from "Long walk to freedom: The autobiography of Nelson Mandela')

    Steven Jobs was born on February 24,1955，in  San Francisco，California，and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs.In 1961 the family moved to Mountain View, California.At that time people started to refer to the area as “Silicon Valley”．
    As a child, Jobs preferred doing things by himself, not interested in team sports or other group activities.He enrolled in the Hewlett­Packard Explorer Club. There he saw his first computer at the age of twelve. He was very impressed, and knew right away that he wanted to work with computers.
    At that time almost all computers were so large that one could fill a room, and so costly that individuals could not afford to buy them.Advances in electronics, however, meant that the parts of a computer were getting smaller and the power of the computer was increasing.
    By 1980 the personal computer era was well underway.Apple was continually forced to improve its products to remain ahead, as more competitors entered the marketplace. Apple introduced the Apple Ⅲ， but the new model suffered technical and marketing problems.It was removed from the market.
    Early in 1983 Jobs unveiled the Lisa.It did not sell well，however,  because  it  was  more  expensive  than  personal computers sold by competitors.Apple's biggest competitor was International Business Machines  (IBM). By 1983 it was estimated that Apple had lost half of its market share ( part of an industry's sales that a specific company has) to IBM.
    In 1984 Apple introduced a revolutionary new model, the Macintosh.The Macintosh did not sell well to businesses，however.It lacked features other personal computers had, such as a corresponding high quality printer. The failure of the Macintosh signaled the beginning of Jobs's downfall at Apple.
    Late in 1988 the NeXT computer was introduced, aimed at the educational market.The product was very user­friendly，and had a fast processing speed, excellent graphics displays，and an outstanding sound system.Despite the warm reception，however, the NeXT machine never caught on. It was too costly, had a black­and­white screen, and could not be linked to other computers or run common software.
    小题1:When did Steven Jobs first get the chance to catch sight of a computer?
    A．In 1955.　B．In 1961.
    C．In 1967.　D．In 1980.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is RIGHT?
    A．All the computes used to be large enough to fill a room.
    B．Before 1980, Apple was not successful in the field of personal computers.
    C．Steven Jobs was born in Silicon Valley.
    D．Apple and IBM competed for sales of personal computers.
    小题3:According to the passage, the Apple Ⅲ________.
    A．was popular among the young people
    B．turned out to be a failure
    C．caused more competitors to come into the market
    D．could be linked to a printer
    小题4:Which of the following leads to Jobs's downfall at Apple?
    A．The Apple Ⅲ.　B．The Macintosh
    C．The NeXT.　D．The Lisa.
    小题5:One of the reasons why the NeXT computer didn't become popular is that ________.
    A．few people could afford it
    B．it was not fast enough
    C．it was not easy to use
    D．it lacked super sound system

    Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had       been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite       because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he      a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all.
         the man walked up to the counter (柜台) and asked: “How       per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said: “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is      . The man thought to himself: “What a       !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to       it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned        . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath.
    But despite his       , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers       their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re       , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment (佐料). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t       ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
    You probably think this man was pretty      , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same       on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it’s not      , and they know there’s little hope of improvement, they still        because they don’t want to waste the previous investment. But this is       . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them.
    Losing something is difficult, but it is important to        the loss and move on.     you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.

    When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled      , and even worse, the rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be        . Only geniuses can become writers.” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so      that I burst into tears. That night I wrote a short       poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my     , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted      ; I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.
    During the next two years, I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿)      with my published works. I never      my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again  because they were dream        .
    I had four children at the time. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months. I chose a      and mailed it. A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start      another book. Crying Wind, which became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became required       in native American schools in Canada.
    In the      year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I      , what degrees I have and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars for six years ago. I do all the housework and fit my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve succeeded. Writing is        ; it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

    Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.
    Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.
    Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro’s career. “It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story,” said one person.
    Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”
    Munro knew she was in the running——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.
    Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.
    She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.
    “This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”
    She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”
    小题1:What is the feature of Munro’s stories?
    A．They have their own complicated (复杂的)contents.
    B．They have similar story backgrounds.
    C．They have specific themes for children.
    D．They have the same characters in each book.
    小题2:For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.
    A．her love for Canadian culture
    B．her devotion to the short story
    C．her special form of writing
    D．her career of editing short stories
    小题3:What is implied in the sixth paragraph?
    A．Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.
    B．Canadian writers are just a small community.
    C．Canadian writers have long been ignored.
    D．Canadians have a long way to win the prize.
    小题4:What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize
    B．An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature
    C．Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature
    D．A world famous writer, Alice Munro

    It was the first snow of the winter---an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up to now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, Ontario, had been through best snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
    I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear the ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.
    In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of the winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that it was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
    I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
    I announced, “They are on the wrong feet.”
    She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
    “They are my brother’s boots, you know, I hate them.”
    Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She struggled with me. She asked “now, where are your mittens(手套)?”
    I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
    小题1:The little girl was more satisfied with her __________.
    A．trousersB．jacketsC．bootsD．hat
    小题2:Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the little girl’s boots mainly because________.
    A．the girl got them from her brother
    B．the girl put something in them
    C．they were on the wrong feet
    D．they did not fit the girl well
    小题3:Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
    A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
    B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
    C．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
    D．Because the little girl played a trick on her.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Miss Finlayson _______________.
    A．was losing confidence in the little girl
    B．was gradually losing patience with the little girl
    C．became disappointed with the little girl
    D．got curious about the little girl

    I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the street. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely place, feeling as if I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go.
    I felt tense and shaking. I drew my violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains passing overhead, that I was about to prove myself.
    The first notes I played were loud and raw, and then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all.
    I walked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually knowing how to try and get money by being a street artist. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money — the sight could discourage the people; nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse them, giving them no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a good idea. Before I played another tune, I took off the big money, but always left two pennies behind.
    Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls, and typists. As for the men: Heavy drinkers were always generous too and so were big young with muscles. But never a man with a hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the meanest of all, except retired army officers, who would bark “Why aren’t you working, young man?” and then threw much money into the hat to hide their confusion.
    小题1:The underlined phrase “have a go” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
    A．have a tryB．run away
    C．change a placeD．commit a crime
    小题2:When the writer began to play the violin, he thought that ________.
    A．he could make a lot of moneyB．he had chosen the wrong place
    C．he would get into trouble D．people would stop and listen to him
    小题3:According to the passage, the writer thought the best way of encouraging people to give a street-violinist money was to ________.
    A．let the hat fill up with money first
    B．leave a small amount of money in the hat
    C．make sure that the hat was always empty
    D．choose the best place to play more smooth tunes
    小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Most of the ladies were willing to give him money.
    B．Retired army officers seldom gave him money.
    C．Drinkers were generous with their money.
    D．Not all the people would feel pity for street-violinists.

    When I entered Berkeley College, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a straight A student, I believed I could ____ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he ____ in class.
    When I took the first exam, I was ____ to find a 77, C­plus, on my test paper, ____ English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained ____.
    I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that ____ because study had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I ____ with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his ____.
    One more test before the final exam. One more ___ to improve my grades. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, ____ the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my ____ did no good and everything ____ as before.
    The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what ____ I got, it wouldn't cancel C­pluses. I might as well kiss the ___ goodbye.
    I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ___ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once not to ____ much about the result of the test.
    A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He ____ to be expecting me. “If I had given you the A­pluses you ____， you wouldn't have continued to work as hard.”
    I stared at him, ____ that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head ____， as I had never done before.
    I was speechless when my course grade arrived：A­plus. It was the only A­plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson：you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
