    I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I wasyounger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was goingto become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready toaccept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would notface that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two morechildren. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do Iknow about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!”I don’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gaveme a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew,and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure outwhat kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother,Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
    I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the examplefor the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot oftime with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from myGranny：
    Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had acookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with thecounter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older Ilearned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched,I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it downoff the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I didwhen I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jarand there were alwayscookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and thefirst thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
    So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s firstChristmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to seeme, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.
    小题1:The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.
    A．she was not old enough to be one
    B．she was not emotionally ready to be one
    C．she thought her daughter was too young to be a mother
    D．grandmother should be older than she was
    小题2:Theunderlined phrase “that same challenge ” in the first paragraph refers to”________”
    A．taking care of a grandchildB．taking care of a baby
    C．being a young grandmotherD．being a young mother
    小题3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.
    A．the writer has many happy memories of her grandmother’s cookie jar
    B．the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother’s cookie jar
    C．the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother’s cookie jar
    D．women of the writer ‘s age all have a cookie jar for their grandchildren
    小题4:What kind of grandmother did the writer want to be?
    A．One who has a jar filled with many kinds of cookies for children and herself.
    B．One who grows up with her grandmother's cookie jar with all kinds of cookies.
    C．One who is like her own grandmother with a cookie jar to treat hergrandchildren.

    Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
    "Can we write him a letter?"
    She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
    My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
    "No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
    "Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
    She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
    "Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
    The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
    Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.

    "But Ijust paid 1．69 for this bottle of wine last week．How is it that the price is 2.25?"
    There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise．All haveto do with the supply and demand factors of economics．
    The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before．This demand formore wine has increased wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year．
    The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which meansthat the same number of bottles is produced each year．Wine producers are trying to open upnew land to grow more grapes．But in at least three wine producing areas of the world-France,Germany, and California --- new vineyards（葡萄园）will not be useable in the near future．Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Argentine,Australia, Austria, and Chile．And these wines will be seen more often on the American market．But none of these countries will be able to fill the good wines．
    The third factor is that costs of wine production are soaring．The workers who make wineare asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming moreexpensive．
    When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up．When productioncosts, meaning the price of labor and machinery rise, the producer adds this increase to theprice of the wine．For these reasons, that bottle of wine now costs 2．25 instead of 1．69．
    小题1:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Every year people drink more wine．
    B．Countries won't be able to fill the demand for good wines．
    C．The prices of things go up when the demand for them is greater than the supply．

    We’ve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles（腹肌）. It’s easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.
    And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches（仰卧起坐）. Some can even cause injury-like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.
    The fact is that many Americans don’t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can’t lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat. That’s enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.
    So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.
    Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the “Captain’s Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.
    小题1:Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?
    A．Torso Track.B．Ab-Doer.
    C．Captain’s Chair.D．Body Shaper-Q8SP.
    小题2:According to the author, it’s difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because        .
    A．they do not put in enough efforts
    B．injuries interrupt their exercise frequently
    C．they change their exercise routine regularly
    D．how big their muscles will be is determined by birth
    小题3:The author convinces the readers by       .
    A．describing successful easesB．offering professional connects
    C．presenting findings of researchesD．comparing advertisements of products
    小题4:What’s the main purpose of this passage?
    A．To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.
    B．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.
    C．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.
    D．To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.
