       I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

       With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.

       “How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

       “None.”

       “Where did you go?”

       “The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

       “What did you do?”

       “Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

       “You just stood there?”

       “Didn’t sell a single one.”

       “My God, Russell!”

       Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.

       Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

       One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

       “If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

       My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

       Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates(率) of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.

Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.

Researchers say genetics(遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.

African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.

Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted(针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."

61．Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?

       A．Whites—Native Hawaiians

       B．Africans—Americans—Latinos

       C．Asians—Native Hawaiians

       D．Africans—Americans—Native Hawaiians

62．Researchers agree that it is      that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.

       A．the larger amount of smoking than white people

       B．the living style or habit of the blacks

       C．the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs

       D．the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke

63．People in the new study are made up of          .

       A．heavy smokers in America                    B．the black and white people

       C．the Asians and Hawaiians                      D．smokers and non-smokers

64．The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to      .

       A．explain different races react to some diseases differently

       B．tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers

       C．show a big step people have taken in the medicine area

       D．support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers

65．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author?

       A．The way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer.

       B．Race has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer.

       C．The research was started by the New England Journal of Medicine.

       D．The risk of lung cancer lies I how much a person smokes.

       As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

       Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

       One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

　　Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

　　Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

71．The passage tells us that            .

       A．people seldom work long hours to make money

       B．people hardly buy more things than necessary

       C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place

       D．people realize there is more to life than just making money

72．When Daniel was a reporter he ___.

　　A．lived in central London                        B．disliked his job

　　C．missed his children                              D．was well paid

73．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.

　　A．was easy to organize                           B．has improved family life

　    C．was extremely expensive                     D．has been a total success

74．What does the author mean by saying“the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ?

       A．People work long hours to earn their living.

       B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.

       C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.

       D．People spent too much time and money eating meals.

75．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _________.

　　A．repairing your car by yourself

　　B．spending money carefully

　　C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life

　　D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

       阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

       Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

Plan your time carefully.

When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After    , you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

       Find a good place to study.

       Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

       Make good use of your time in class.

       Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

       Study regularly.

       When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

       Develop a good attitude towards the tests.

       The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.

       There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
