“Your earrings (耳环). Take them off!”Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.
“Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber was uncertain. He saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.”
“Oh, sir. It's not worth much. Please let me keep it.”
“Stop talking rubbish. Quick!”

“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy – they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” –– Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he persuaded me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I believed I would always be haunted(萦绕)by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
31. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?
A. The desire to follow his passion.
B. The strong support of his wife.
C. The increasing usage of the Internet.
D. A bookstore with millions of exciting titles.
32. What was the author’s situation before starting Amazon?
A. He was a garage inventor.
B. He was in search of a good job.
C. He was more than thirty years old.
D. He was satisfied with his working condition.
33.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase in Para. 3?
A. Try to do it. B. Guess it.
C. Take a picture. D. Do quickly.
34.What can we know about the author from the passage?
A. He got approval(批准,赞成) from his boss.
B. He wanted someone else to try the idea.
C. He might not regret if he failed the idea.
D. He might go back to his boss if he failed.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of Amazon
C. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose

Dear Linda
I’m sorry to learn that you are having such a bad time. Actually, most people will feel homesick and anxious when they leave home and come to a new place, especially a foreign country . So don’t worry too much.
Here are some tips for you. First ,you’d better try to change some of your habits so that you can get used to the new environment as soon as possible. Second, make more new friends, who can share their hobbies and ideas with you. You will feel less homesick with many friends around. Third, you take part in some social activities. It will help learn more about the local customs and cultures.
I do hope you will find these ideas useful and feel better soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Now, back to the news! An early morning fire damaged the historic Geller House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building, (17) but firefighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building. (19) And they were carried out to safety, so no one was hurt. The Geller House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. (18) George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Geller family owned the building until the 1930s. Then they sold it to the Mills family. Five years ago, it was made into a building for the old. (19) All the electric wires in the building were checked and most of them were changed then. Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked Fire Chief Andrew Barnes how the fire started, he answered that a burning cigarette most likely caused it. (20)
