    We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
    "Look down, Elsa," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. "See, my dear," Father said gently. "There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."
    Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
    When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
    At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, "The cook must have gone mad! "Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
    In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal, Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

I was so afraid of  24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not  25  to crossing so high a bridge  26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other  27 .
    “As you cross this bridge,think about  28  difficult,but it is possible”.
    Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is  30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be  31  through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.
    I didn’t understand my cousin  32  she told me I should  33  all those unfriendly guys with  34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past  35  and guilt will not serve me well.

    After all,life is good   38  all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be   39  in facing and adversity（逆境）while at the same time it makes me  40  to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

    Women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men, scientists have said. Studies show that ambitious women are often less likely to get ahead than those who show more female characteristics. However, if they try to adapt, promotion comes their way. The findings, which will let assertive (过分自信的) women down, suggest that the best way for a woman to succeed in a man’s world is to act like a lady.
    Past research has shown that women with self-confidence and other characteristics linked with successful management can be put aside at work in favor of gentle types. It is thought that while such characteristics are highly praised in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being seen as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation.
    In one US study, researchers explored personal details from university students applying for a summer job at a bank. A women applicant who attempted to apply for special wages to pay her transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similar male. In fact, this kind of woman was the least likely to get taken on.
    The latest study set out to explore what women who are naturally assertive could do to get ahead in the workplace. Eighty young men and women completed surveys about their personality while studying in college. Around eight years later, the researchers got back in touch with them to find out how their careers were going. Some had been promoted five times, others just once or twice. The results showed that ambitious women who stick to their decisions had been promoted less than more feminine groups. But the ambitious women who made a conscious effort to not appear to be threatening by “self-controlling” their behavior had done better than those who had carried on ignoring others’ views.
    小题1: What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the second paragraph?
    A．Treated badlyB．Asked to leave
    C．Looked down uponD．Made sb. have a disadvantage
    小题2:According to the passage, if an ambitious woman and a similar man both ask the company for an extra payment, ______.
    A．the woman is less likely to be accepted
    B．the woman will work harder if she gets the payment
    C．the man can make a good impression on the boss
    D．they can be both accepted if they use proper words
    小题3:The ambitious women in the latest study ______.
    A．had been promoted only once or twice
    B．tried hard to be as successful as gentle types
    C．were more accepted at work after they controlled their behavior
    D．filled in the surveys after they graduated from college
    小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Successful management is highly praised in women.
    B．Some women will be disappointed by the massage.
    C．Men acting like a lady are likely to be promoted at work.
    D．The latest study was aimed at how to become a successful boss.
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．How assertive women can control their behavior.
    B．Feminists can do better by controlling their behavior.
    C．Acting like a man won’t get women promoted at work.
    D．How the ambitious women can avoid acting like men.

    When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （录取）rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
    Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
    It’s no doubt to call this HK craze（狂热）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
    How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
    First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
    Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（双语）education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
    Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
    Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
    The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
    At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees（学费）are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly talking about?
    A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
    B．Higher education in Hong Kong.
    C．The competition between HK University and Peking University.
    D．The fall of mainland universities.
    小题2:Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because           .
    A．many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience.
    B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities.
    C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study.
    D．Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation.
    小题3:What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?
    A．The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
    B．Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
    C．Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
    D．It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.
    小题4:From the passage we can see HK universities           .
    A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
    B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
    C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
    D．are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
    小题5:What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?
    A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
    B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
    C．Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
    D．Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

    When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
    I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer and he planed to produce a lot and sell them to the children in developing countries at a low price after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to surf the Internet. By improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
    Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one stone’, and that is always a good thing.
    小题1:
    It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because        .
    A．it reduces waste and can help others
    B．it prevents waste and can earn lots of money
    C．it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries
    D．it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users
    小题2:
    The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte’s cheap computers        .
    A．to show what high technology can bring us
    B．to show the kindness of people in the developed countries
    C．to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
    D．to give an example of how to help developing countries
    小题3:
    Where does this passage probably come from?        .
    A．A newspaper.B．A magazine.
    C．A lecture.D．An advertisement.

    Do you want to have a lot of close friends? In order to make it happen, you must do a lot of things right. You will learn tips on how to build a solid friendship.
    You should be extra respectful when you are at others’ homes. For example, you must not make unpleasant comments about them. Once when I was at the house of a friend as a high school senior, I told him he had feet that looked funny while he had his socks off in his bedroom. He rebutted(反驳),“If you’re going to make fun of my feet, you can leave.’’
