Choose the best answers（选择最恰当的答案）（共6分） Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day. When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, wanted to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her job. After Mary’s recovery, they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers. On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the whole $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank. The store broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories. Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000. “The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.” 34. Mary and his husband always stopped to look inside when they passed a bookstore because ______. A. they often talked of opening a bookstore B. they were lovers of books C. Richard Goldman was eager to work for himself D. Mary had heart trouble 35. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ______. A. they had to make some changes to their work B. health was more important than money C. heart trouble was a serious illness D. they both needed to stop working 36. After Mary got well from her illness they began ______. A. to study industrial management (工业管理) B. to buy and read more mystery books C. to do market research on book business D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore 37. The underlined phrase “broke even” means “______”. A. 不赚不赔 B. 大有盈余 C. 入不敷出 D. 被逼关门 38. Mary had the following ways to attract customers except ______. A. offering presents to mystery lovers B. taking care of children for customers C. serving dinners for book clubs that met in the store D. inviting many writers to discuss their stories 39. According to Richard, the main purpose (目的) of running the bookstore is ______ . A. to pay for children’s education B. to get to know more writers C. to set up more bookstores D. to do what they like to do B.

Answer the questions（根据短文回答问题）（共7分） Encouragement is necessary for humans to develop and work hard. It helps people keep going. Here is a story of a simple note of praise. This note helped many people understand the importance of giving praise to other people. Robert Brooks is a psychologist (心理学家) now. He remembers the time when he was just a young man. He was in training to be a psychologist. He had to give a speech in front of a large group of people. And he was very nervous. He did not like speaking in front of people. But his speech was very important. Robert gave his speech. He did a good job. But, he did not have the chance to hear what other people thought. Later that same day Robert looked into his mail box and found a small note there. The note simply said, “You did a great job today, Robert.” Robert was very surprised and happy to see the note. It made him feel very good. And, Robert believes that that small note helped him through the rest of his training. He felt like he was able to do a good job. Now as a psychologist, he teaches the importance of giving praise to other people. He tells them the story of the simple note that he received. He tells them that the words on the note had power. Those words helped him to continue doing a good job. One day, a businessman, who had attended Robert’s lecture, decided to take Robert’s ideas to heart. The more this businessman encouraged his workers, the happier they were. “The atmosphere in our company changed. We enjoyed working.

After some thinking, I decided to join an English speaking club. At first, I felt nervous because my English wasn’t very good. However, with regular practice, my confidence grew. By the end of the summer, I could speak English more fluently and even won a small speech competition. This decision taught me that hard work and courage can lead to great progress. It also showed me the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone. Now, I believe that every small decision can shape our future. Making the right choice may be challenging, but it always brings valuable rewards. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
