    Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease（疾病） called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
    At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
    Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.

    But      , the second frog kept jumping hard       the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her to accept the       and just die. Finally, with one big leap, she       it out of the pit! 
    In fact, the second frog was       and unable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they had been       her on the entire time they were yelling! What she had       considered as encouragement       her to try harder and succeed. And that made all the      ! 
    With a positive       and being deaf to others' opinions, the second frog reached her goals by using such       as encouragement, instead of being       by others like the first frog, who failed to develop her       to struggle for survival.      , when we overcome others' criticism or       comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just as the second frog did.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
    His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
    This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
    However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
    小题1:How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?
    A．5B．6 C．7D．8
    小题2:Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage?
    a. He became addicted to drinking.
    b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.
    c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.
    d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.
    e. He failed to reorder his life.
    f. He joined the army and met Zelda.
    A．f-c-e-a-b-dB．b-e-a-f-c-dC．f-d-e-c-b-aD．b-f-c-d-e-a
    小题3:We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald            .
    A．had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama.
    B．was well educated and well off before he served in the army
    C．would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down
    D．helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital
    小题4:The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about _______.
    A．Zelda’s personal life
    B．Zelda’s illness and treatment
    C．Fitzgerald’s friendship with Graham
    D．Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary world

People ask what college I    , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is： “None. ” I just write. I’m not a genius.

    I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us      chasing the same thing.
    One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell   . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I     the countryside for some place I could rent for the     possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road    the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was       , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner ,rented it, and      a corner to camp in.
    The locals knew nothing about me,      slowly, they started teaching me the      of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began     to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a       American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of        .
    What I had believed in, all those things I thought were        for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.          on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my        with my neighbors.
    Four years later, I moved back into       . I saw many people were having a really hard time,         their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to        a handful of people .There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in         if we hadn’t banded together.（团结起来）
    The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about       we can all get by together.

    Jean-Michael Lourdis was a promising young pianist. But when the young man played, it seemed to him, as if his hands were iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became oversensitive (过度敏感的) to the comments of his playing. Unfortunately, in those days, a critic(批评家) was not considered a critic, unless he found something wrong.

He had a visitor.The famous Finnish composer(作曲家) Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist on his performance. Jean-Michael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. “ Hands of iron. No imagination. Little skill. No joy. Don't you hear what they say?” he asked.

    Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:
    Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books, and personal investigation is important as well.
    Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people’s opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything，” he wrote to his nephew.
    Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the people’s home as I have done ，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”
    Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas， and this is a source of strength. It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶）your actions. ”
    Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didn’t fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked，“I expect the best, not the worst. ”
    小题1:The author mentioned Jefferson’s visit to Lafayette to show______.
    A．Jefferson was dissatisfied with Lafayette
    B．Jefferson had a close relationship with his people
    C．Jefferson was a great American president
    D．Jefferson valued the importance of learning from others
    小题2:Jefferson was determined never to answer his critics because______.
    A．he believed silence was a source of strength
    B．he thought it useless to defend obviously correct ideas
    C．he believed in conflict rather than in unquestioning agreement
    D．he knew the more he said ,the more people would resent him

    In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service，no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.
    Their hamburgers were sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity（一致性）, for the brothers had developed a strict routine（程序）for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundred during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.
    Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954 when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate（复制） the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings the golden arches（拱门）.
    Today McDonald’s is really a household name. In 1976, McDonald’s had over＄1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising successes in modern American business history.

    A．the development of fast food services
    B．how McDonald’s became a billion-dollar business

    小题2:Mac and Dick managed all of the following business except ＿＿＿.
    A．a drive-inB．a theater
    C．a cinemaD．a barbecue restaurant
    小题3: We may infer from this passage that ＿＿＿.
    A．Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy, for they sold their ideas to Kroc
    B．the place the McDonald brothers chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in
    C．forty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurants
    D．Ray Kroc was a good businessman
    小题4:The passage suggests that ＿＿＿.
    A．creativity is an important element of business success
    B．Ray Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothers
    C．Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray Kroc
    D．California is the best place to go into business

    A．Today McDonald’s is very popular in the world.
    B．The first twenty-two years of McDonald’s is the most surprising success in American business history.
    C．Mac and Dick McDonald were content with their business at first.
