21．（6分） Myles, my four-year-old son, somehow got into an adult pool while we were out swimming. We ran over and pulled him out of the water, only to see his blue face and grey, still body. He was lifeless.
One person immediately contacted the front desk while another called 911. My friend, John Newland, and I began CPR(心肺复苏). But we hadn't received any professional training. Despite our best efforts, we failed to make any important progress in bringing back my son.
Another friend of mine realized two off-duty lifeguards, Liz and Alison Manley, were nearby. The sisters, 15 and 18, recently trained by the Red Cross in CPR, ran to help. Alison took over directly above Myles and Liz near his feet. Alison started chest compressions (胸部压迫), and Liz gave instructions. They turned him on his side, and cleared the airway as he expelled(排出) water.They continued chest compressions and rescue breathing, staying calm and cooperating as a perfect team.
As the scene unfolded, so many things went through my mind. It seemed that seconds, minutes and hours passed, all at once. I saw his life flash before my eyes, the image of my beloved son wearing his favorite Lightning McQueen jammies (睡衣) and then his t-ball uniform. All at once was filled with both regret and hope." What kind of a father lets this happen?”,“ Stay with me!”,“ Come on, Myles”,"I don' t want to live without you !” and finally "God help, somebody, do anything!" Then it happened. Myles slowly opened one of his eyes and began to cry. I picked him up and held him.
Myles was allowed to leave the hospital the next morning and, despite everything that happened, he asked to go to Worlds of Fun. This was the best Father's Day gift I could have ever received, seeing that my wife, son and daughter reunited and were all healthy, playing together again! No days are taken for granted any longer!

22．（8分）When I was 5, my father worked the night shift as a nurse in a hospital. He was always carrying his stethoscope (听诊器) so naturally, so I called him “Dr. Saldivar” while I pressed his stethoscope against his chest. But my father, as a humble man, was always correcting me: “I am not a doctor, son, but you can be one.” I grew up feeling like I had no limits because of moments like this, which has helped me take risks personally and professionally in spite of the hardships I had to endure.
Being born to Mexican immigrants meant that my parents had to work very hard to provide for my family and I had to learn to struggle through school paperwork on my own, because my parents’ English was limited and they couldn’t always be there motivating us through the process. If I wanted to succeed academically, my perseverance, and strength would be tested.
Perseverance, strength and good education are the gateway to success. And this is especially true when you look at the obstacles that Latinos have to overcome to succeed in public schools. For instance, while the national high school dropout (辍学) rate has decreased significantly, we still have the highest dropout rate in the country. We are more likely to live in poverty and attend racially separated schools. These issues create many other problems for Latinos.
To help relieve my family burden, I found my first job when I was 14 at a local hotel. Despite the long hours on my new job, I worked hard. Meanwhile, I continually stressed the importance of getting a respectable education and did everything possible to get one step closer to making my dream a reality.
Nearly a decade later, I became the first in my family to graduate from the University of Southern California. Knowing the social, economic, and political struggles that a community faces, I began to pursue journalism to give the disadvantaged minorities a voice.

A．show his success as a Latino
B．enjoy a different life

4、What does the author try to tell us with his own experience?
A．Immigration is an approach to personal success.
B．Good education is a way to successful life.
C．Disadvantaged Latinos are facing fewer challenges.
D．American Dream is inaccessible to the Latinos.
23．（8分）During this shopping season,salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business.Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale.However,sight is not the only one sensory detail that companies use.Sounds and smells can influence consumer purchasing decisions.
Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response.A study published earlier his year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender（薰衣草）was given off and when it wasn’t.It found that the smell increased the number of customers purchasing items and the amounts of their purchases.An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more,and were willing to pay more,when the room had a mixed smell of flowers.Realizing the subconscious impact of smell,many stores apply artificial scents（香味）through their heating and air-conditioning vents（通风口）or place scent machines above their doors.For instance,a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.
Ever felt frenzied due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on customer moods.One study found that when subjected to loud music,customers will spend less time in a store.But interestingly,the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers satisfaction.Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customer actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music.Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments,many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.
Well,you could always leave the store and take a break,but the food court probably isn’t your best choice as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customer experience.Online retailers use a variety of other strategies to get your business,but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.
1、The passage is mainly about_________
A．two factors affecting consumers’ shopping habits B．the strategies for satisfying consumers
