Not surprisingly,mom was one of my strongest supporters.She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style.As in any business,we experienced a lot of challenges.But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul,I never doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later,we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of S I billion a year.

C It is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower.We are, but we're also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn't even know about.A 英语试卷第7页（共12页） showerhead(淋浴喷头)carries thousands of bacteria called Mycobacterium(分支杆菌).These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness,and a general feeling of poorliness(身体不舒服). When you turn on the water,the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body. This is a finding of Norman R.Pace and his team at the University of Colorado,in the US. The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment,including showers. Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities.They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium. But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health.Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry.He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought.He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we 母 do in the morning. But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms(微生物)，he had some advice.Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower.Why?The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on.If that seems like a waste of water,he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months. However,Pace had good news too.He has also been testing the air in US subways.Apart from iron particles ()which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains,subway air is fresh.The reason is that a train's movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels. Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places.This kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes (to be used in a 学 bioterrorist(生物恐怖分子)attack. 61.From the finding of Norman R.Pace,after taking a shower,we might cough or feel tired because A.it's easy to get a cold when taking a bath B.we don't get a weak immune system C.we don't get cleaned while showering D.the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illness 62.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE? A.Hot water could kill most of bacteria in showerheads. B.Shower water contains much less bacteria after being left to run for 30 seconds. C.Changing showerheads is the only way to avoid microorganisms. D.Of 45 showerheads surveyed in nine cities,30 carried large amounts of Mycobacterium. 63.We can leam from the third paragraph that A.having a shower in the momning is more dangerous than at other time B.the bacteria always threat people's health C.there is no reason to fear microorganisms for people with strong immune system D.it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower 64.The underlined word "pose"in the third paragraph probably means" ” 英语考试卷第8页（共12页） A.cause B.avoid C.describe D.promise 65.What contributes to fresh air in US subways? A.Air conditioners on the trains. B.Iron particles. C.Train wheels. D.The train's movement. D Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness,happiness,goodness,and self- 剑 respect?The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as"honor"help you create this life of good feelings. Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent,and profit from the clerk's mistake,we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand,if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item,the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then,what is it to do with our sense of happiness? In the first case,where we don't tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the process,we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect.We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted,since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast,bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.Whenever we take honorable action we gain the 安 deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start,once it's started,it's easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind,which is important for our happiness. 66.According to the passage,the positive action in the example contributes to our A.self-respect B.financial rewards C.advertising ability D.friendly relationship 67.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to A.lying B.stealing C.cheating D.advertising 68.The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention"(in para.5)means A.offering advice to the clerk B.telling the truth to the clerk 英语试卷第9页（共12页) C.asking the clerk to be more attentive D.reminding the clerk of the charged item 69.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake? A.We'll be very excited. B.We'll feel unfortunate. C.We'll have a sense of honor. D.We'll feel sorry for the clerk. 70.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage. A.How to Live Truthfully B.Importance of Peacefulness C.Ways of Gaining Self-respect D.Happiness through Honorable Actions 第Ⅱ卷 第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely lame and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare.I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention.If he was ever noticed or was bothered,he never let on,nor did he say anything about it. It was difficult to coordinate our steps-his pausing,my impatience-and because of that,we didn't say much as we went along.But as we started out,he always said,"You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you." Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work.He went to work sick,and despite bad weather.He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not.A matter of pride. When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,NY,on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance.Once there,he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home. When I think of it now,I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress.And at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint. He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more 英语试卷第10页（共12页）
