My life as a roofing（屋顶）salesman began almost sixty years ago. I happened to meet Johnny Brown, the manager of a small company. He told me he needed a young man like myself.
“The war is over, and everyone 16 a new roof,” Johnny said. “But if you just go out and ask people if they want a new roof, they will just say no. 17 you have to make up a story they’re willing to listen to.”
“What’s the story?” I asked.
“The story is that you are working for the RZ Advertising Company. You are 18 a home in the neighborhood to put on a new roof. If the family will permit（允许）you to put this new roof 19 , your company will photograph it, advertise it, and bring around people to look at it. For the inconvenience（不便） that was 20 to the family the company will make a plan to have the roof put on at a very low price.”
“Which,” I said 21 , “is probably the same price that any roof would cost.”
“You’ve 22 it.” Johnny said. “Now I don’t want you to think we’re doing anything dishonest. The people do get a good roof, and besides, they have something to tell the neighbors. It makes them feel 23 on their street.”
“What am I supposed to do?”
“You give your 24 to the wife and the husband. If they are both interested, you tell them your 25 will come by and talk to them, and you set up a meeting. Then I go in to 26 . If they buy a roof, you get 10% on the sale.”
The next afternoon I was out ringing doorbells in Los Angeles. It took a week before I made a sale, but the pay was $30. And when Johnny paid me, I was so 27 that I decided I might make the roofing business my life work.

Shopping in the United States changes a lot. About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family. Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week. Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born. In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.
The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall. A shopping mall is
a group of stores under one roof. Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular. The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping. If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee. Malls are places for teenagers to hang out. Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends.
The recent change in American shopping was the superstore. Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys “R” Us have been built all across the United States. Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores. Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close. They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.
And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States. People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet. Online shopping has lots of advantages. For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day. Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores. While, online shopping also has its disadvantages. People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. And privacy of personal information may be let out.
28. Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?
①small stores ②superstores ③shopping malls ④shopping online ⑤supermarkets
A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①⑤②③④ C. ①⑤③②④ D.②③④①⑤
29. Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?
A. Shopping malls. B. Small stores. C. Supermarkets. D. Superstores.
30. Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?
A. Because they are built near small towns.
B. Because they are across the United States.
C. Because they sell all kinds of products people need.
D. Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the price.
31. What’s the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?
A. Wasting time. B. Leaking personal information.
C. Fixed prices. D. No chance to do physical activities.

We want your stay in Australia to be as enjoyable as possible. This page contains information to help you during your Australian lifestyle experience.
Australia is a land that has a surprising diversity and beauty. It is rich in lots of different types of beautiful wilderness areas, clean white beaches, interesting animals and plants, rivers and lakes, old mountains, extensive snow fields, and deserts.
Australia is a new country. It is about 200 years old. It was discovered, according to English history, in 1770 by Captain Cook. There are, however, many records of other Europeans going here dating back to the 1600’s. In 1901 Australia declared （正式宣布） a nation.
Aboriginals were believed to arrive around 40,000 years ago from Asia. The first European settlement （移民） began in 1788 in Sydney when Captain Arthur Phillip arrived with a small English fleet（舰队） to start a colony（殖民地）. Australia was first used by Britain as a place to send its criminals. More free people came too, working in agriculture, raising sheep and making
wool. Gold was discovered in 1851, and the resulting gold rush increased the population to 2.25 million by 1881. A very large population growth also resulted from the Potato Famine in Ireland in the 1840’s.
By 1921, the population had risen to 5.44 million. It then increased to 7.4 million because of World War II. During this time people from more than 120 countries settled in Australia. The population is about 20 million now. January 26th is Australia’s National Day, which celebrates the first settlement. Other important days include Anzac Day on April 25th.
32. The word “diversity” in the passage probably means ___________.
A.风景 B. 难度 C.多样性 D. 变化

Why People Get Tattoos
Jack lay, quiet and unmoving, for thirty minutes while a stranger repeatedly stabbed (刺) him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by Tony’s bravery and his tattoo that he decided to get one too. Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today.
The desire to be accepted by one’s friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person’s friends are all doing something, that person is more likely to do the same thing.
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images (人物，图像) show tattoos—people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or
their feelings—in other words, to show their individuality (个性). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person’s life.
As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a group’s uniform, a sign of fashion, or an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself. For Jack, it was a mixture of all three.
37. Jack has got tattoos in order to ______.
A. show his great bravery B. gain a special experience
C. make himself more healthy D. be different from others
38. According to the passage, media images are linked to ______.
A. traditional lifestyle B. social position C. cultural background D. public interest
39. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. some people get tattoos out of pressure B. tattoo is related to religious belief
C. getting tattoos costs a lot of money D. most people with tattoos are artists
40 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
D
If you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.
That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Adminstration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five jobs offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled
with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the influence of a degree washes out after five years.
As further evidence of companies gradually losing faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz mentions a pattern in hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts (文科) graduates. Time after time labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston Red Sox, says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree. “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch.
For a liberal-arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior, and a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses, you can feel free to specialize. “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz.
41. The job market is in great need of people with ______.
A. special training in special fields.
B. a bachelor’s degree in education.
C. formal schooling and work experience.
D. an MBA degree from top universities.
42. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A. an MBA degree does not help in future promotion
B. MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C. people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation
43. David Birch says that he only hires liberal-arts people because ______.
A. they will follow others’ ways of solving problems
B. they can do better in handling changing situations
C. they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields
D. they have attended special programs in management
44. The author supports the idea that ______.
A. on-the-job training is less costly in the long run
B. formal schooling is less important than job training
C. specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists
D. generalists will do better than specialists in management

Who are the pop stars singing all day long on your MP3 player? They may be Jay Chou, Angela Chang or S.H.E. But when it comes to a foreign singer, Avril Lavigne is the one who is worth listening to.
The Canadian star's hit single Girlfriend was named the top download of 2007 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (国际唱片业协会). She came to China last year for her "The Best Damn Tour" concerts.
The pop/rock princess(公主) played at Guangzhou first on September 27, followed by other cities including Chengdu (September 30), Shanghai (October 4) and Beijing (October 6). Lavigne performed her most popular hits in the concerts, including Complicated, Girlfriend, and My Happy Ending.
Lavigne has been on the music scene for six years. She has proven that she is not simply another pretty face. Lavigne prefers to wear loose (宽松的) trousers, old T-shirts and a frown (皱眉). That's not like the tight clothes and sweet smiles of many pop stars.
Lavigne knew that she could never be like Britney Spears. In her high school days, "I was only around guys," she said. "I hung out with guys, playing hockey (曲棍球) and sometimes getting in fights. My band members were all guys."
It was not until she got older that she started acting more girly. "From then to now, I look really different — but that's called growing up," she said.
Lavigne was only 15 when she was discovered. At that time she had no idea how to make an album. "A career(职业) just came early for me. I was trying to figure out this life," she said. "My friends still don't know if they want to be a teacher or a doctor. When I talk to them, they'll tell me they have exams the next day."
So what does Lavigne think about life? "Life is like a roller coaster (过山车). Live it, be happy," she said.
49.Where is Avril Lavigne from?
50.Has she ever been to China?
51.Was she like a boy or a girl when she was in high school?
52.How old was she when she began to be famous?
53.What’s the difference between her life and her friends’?
