(2013·高考山东卷,D)Sparrow is a fast­food chain with 200 restaurants.Some years ago,the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company.Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining,the chain was generally in an unhealthy state.With more and more fast­food concepts reaching the market,the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention.And to make matters worse,its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years,until a new CEO,Carl Pearson,decided to build up its market share.He did a survey,which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain,while customers of other fast­food chains were unwilling to turn away from them.Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand.The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants.Pearson resisted,arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success,rather than customers’ spending power.Finally,the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast­food industry.The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars.Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product,the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example,he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额).
These efforts paid off,and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast­food chains in the regions where it operated.
小题1:Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
A.The number of its customers was declining.
B.Its customers found the food unhealthy.
C.It was in need of financial support.
D.Most of its restaurants were closed.
小题2:What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Customers of Sparrow restaurants.
B.Sparrow restaurants.
C.Customers of other fast­food chains.
D.Other fast­food chains.
小题3:For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
A.To build a good relationship with the public.
B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.
C.To learn about customers’spending power.
D.To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.
小题4:The TV ads of Sparrow ________.
A.changed people’s views on pop stars
B.amused the public with original songs
C.focused on the superiority of its products
D.influenced the eating habits of the audience
小题5:What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?
A.He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.
B.He made Sparrow much more competitive.
C.He helped Sparrow take over a company.
D.He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.

The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57­year­old Chinese writer: Why was it him that was favored by the Swedish Academy?
Born in 1955 into a rural family,Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager.He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).
Less than half an hour after the announcement,Mo's works turned to sold­out status at China's major online book sellers.One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: “Rushed to purchase,but to my shame,I have not read any of his novels.”
Although Mo was entitled one of the top domestic literature awards before the Nobel Prize,he is not the most popular novelist in China,in either the book market or in reputation.
Mo's novel “Big Breasts & Wide Hips,” translated by Howard Goldblatt,tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered hardship and intertwined fates with Chinese people in the 20th century.His more recent work “Frog” more directly criticized China's one­child family policy,which helped control the country's population explosion but also brought tragedies to rural residents in the past 60 years.
“I think the reason why I could win the prize is because my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics,and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings,which is above differences of nations and races,” Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists.Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown,such as clay sculpture,paper cuts,traditional new year paintings,have inspired and influenced his novels.
With more Chinese writers like Mo,the world could learn a more real China.Perhaps,this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice.
小题1:What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A.Mo's life experiences.        B.Mo's family life.
C.Mo devoted himself to writing.D.Mo had a gift for writing.
小题2:What can we infer from the passage?
A.Mo didn't got any national awards before he won the Nobel Prize.
B.Mo was the top novelist in China before he won the Nobel Prize.
C.Mo's novels have attracted many people to read.
D.Mo's novels are all based on his daily life.
小题3:Which of the following have no effect on Mo's novels according to the passage?
A.Clay sculpture.B.Paper cuts.
C.Folk arts.D.Beijing opera.
小题4:According to the passage,we know that________.
A.Big Breasts & Wide Hips' leading role is one happy mother
B.Big Breasts & Wide Hips criticized China's one­child family policy
C.Frog came out earlier than Big Breasts & Wide Hips
D.Frog shows benefit as well as shortcoming of one China's policy

My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.
I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (难民). Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have. I think about this moment many times during my “adventures”. I did not know then how prophetic (先知的) those words would be. She is with me still.

There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.
So they       Socrates for advice on where happiness      . But       giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a       first. The group of guys had to       the task, laying aside their own business of seeking happiness. It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center.

Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We       be happier!” Socrates      , “That’s it!       you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”
From the story I got to know that happiness      hides behind every tiny thing that you are involved in, and that you may only get pleasure through       work and creativity.
We may have to       pain in our daily life and in the process of       happiness. Sometimes we tend to look for happiness in       things, like a new car, clothes, etc. True long term happiness, however, comes from within our       and spirit. So why not turn suffering into       life, and       tears into the light in your heart? Only in this way can we make it through and find true happiness.
