    Instead of staying at home to care for the kids, many mothers work to help support their families. But what does a mother do when her child is sick?
    Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys — things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.
    However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift. Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”.
    She thought that it would be turned into a full-time business. In 1998, she started Baby-Cakes.com. After several years, her business grew and expanded in a way that even she had never expected. She sold her products online at first. Three years after her own website was created, demand for her products was so great that in August, 2001 she opened a real store. She is ready to combine the online store with the traditional store.
    小题1:Sophia was out of work because     .
    A．she wanted to start her own business
    B．she lost interest in computer programming
    C．she failed to design computer programs
    D．she couldn’t balance her work and family
    小题2:What made Sophia decide to create “baby cakes” for sale?
    A．Her unemployment.B．Her family’s support.
    C．Her friends’ suggestion.D．Her market research.
    小题3:Which of the following is the right order for Sophia’s events?
    a. She set up her first real store.
    b. She turned her hobby into a business.
    c. She used both traditional and online selling.
    d. She set up her own website for her products.
    A．b, c, d, a.B．b, d, a, c.C．a, c, b, d.D．a, d, c, b.

    小题1:D
    小题2:C
    小题3:B

    试题分析：文章讲述Sophia因为她不能平衡工作和家庭失业了，但这也给了她自己创业的机会，她发明了“baby cakes”，并通过传统和现代网店的销售结合，她的生意做的很好。
    小题1:细节题：从第二段的句子：Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child.可知Sophia 失业了，因为她不能平衡工作和家庭，选D
    小题2:细节题：从第三段的句子：Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”.可知是她朋友的建议让她决定创造可以卖的“baby cakes” ，选C
    小题3:排序题:从文章最后一段的内容：可知Sophia 的事迹发生的顺序是:b.她将爱好变成产业，d. 她为自己的产品建立了网站， a. 开了第一个实体店，c.使用传统和网上的销售模式。所以选B。

    Robert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Ballard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive.

    When Ballard wasn’t at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.
    Ballard was a hardworking student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict（预知）volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously（以前）unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the ocean’s surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.
    By the 1980s, Ballard’s interests changed. He developed unmanned（无人的）vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the well-known ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked for — and found — other well-known ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母舰) that sank during World War II.
    Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the world’s huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?
    小题1:What was Ballard’s dream when he was young?
    A．To be a science teacher.B．To be an underwater explorer.
    C．To be an animal expert.D．To be a famous writer.
    小题2:When Ballard worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he _____.
    A．explored the undersea world by ship
    B．thought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoes
    C．found some unknown sea animals alone
    D．set up an organization to teach students science
    小题3:Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text about Ballard?
    a. He found the German battleship Bismarck.
    b. He read a book about Captain Nemo.
    c. He found the famous ship Titanic.
    d. He became an expert in science.
    A．b-c-d-aB．d-b-c-aC．b-d-c-aD．d-c-a-b
    小题4:What can we learn from the text?
    A．Ballard’s parents felt disappointed at his undersea adventures.
    B．Ballard didn’t like fishing and swimming in his childhood.
    C．Ballard was greatly influenced by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
    D．Human beings have explored more than half of the sea.

    How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee      your day?
    One day I was in a taxi and we headed      the airport. We were driving in the right lane      suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly      the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started      at us.
    My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really     . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
    He       that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of     , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage      up, they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on     . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
    Believe me. You’ll be more     . Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with     . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s       in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you       bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you      them more frequently.
    So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you       it!
    When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by       go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today      the harvest you reap tomorrow.

    They think they're lucky and it's Christmas again. They can't see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren't much good. Johnny and the children can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
    The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn't eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer(阴沟).
    Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they're ashamed of their lives. I'd like to see the children would be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.
    小题1:The writer's family is the poorest one on that street.
    小题2:The McGarity girl is characterized as rich and nice.
    小题3:The writer thinks Miss Jackson is an example her children should follow.
