I come from a family full of love. Dad always has sports with me. Mum always gives me useful advice when I come across difficulties, but she is also a 1 parent. When I was young, I had to earn my pocket money by helping with the housework.

“You know,” she said, “ if you save up, you can buy this yourself.”
By the time I make enough pocket money, none will be 3 !
“I will buy it for you, but you have to work for it,” she said.
My mother bought the beautiful basket and kept it safely in a secret place I couldn't find. I washed dishes, tidied up the rooms, emptied the bins and even helped my dad clean the car. Each day, I counted my growing pocket money. After several weeks hard work, I jumped with joy. Oh, I made it 4 ! I had the exact amount of money.
Another day, an unthinkable（难以置信的）thing happened, A neighbourhood girl rode by me with the exact same basket on her bike. Eight-year-old me cried and ran back home to tell my mother about the 5 news.

When he came back in the evening to c3． his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e4． wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, “I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w5． teaching. ”
The master smiled and suggested, “I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. ”
Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another b6． which said, “Gentlemen, I painted this piece.

16、The following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg. They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up, leading New York City as mayor（市长）, and so on.
Take Risks
Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure.
In 1981, at the age of 39, I lost my job. The next day I took a big risk and began my own company. In 2001, when I was debating whether to run for mayor, most people advised me not to do it. But one person said, “If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech, then why not go for it?” That was the best advice I received, and I followed it.
In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail— and you must have the courage to go for it anyway.
Make your own luck
Luck plays a part in success. The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Whatever you choose to do, even if it’s not the job of your dreams, always work hard at it. Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night. Hard work creates chances.
Never stop learning
The most powerful word in English language is “why”. There is nothing so powerful
as an open, inquiring mind（探究精神）. Whatever field you choose for starting a business — be a lifelong student.
Give back
You are responsible for your success and failure, but you only succeed if you share the reward with others.
My first donation was a $ 5 check to my alma mater （母校） . And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today, they come with the same spirit.
You don’t have to be wealthy to give back. You can give back by giving your time and talents.
1．In this passage, Michael Bloomberg is the name of a .
A．newspaper B．place C．company D．person
2．What did the writer do at the age of 59?

3．From the passage, we can infer that the writer .
A．is a young mayor B．seldom cares about others

17、Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the homes is very important. However, having to recycle often means we already have more products than we need. We are just dealing with the results of thatover-consumptionin the greenest way, but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.
The total amount of packaging（外包装） has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It is 1/3 of a home’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets, food products are packaged twice with plastic and paper. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Besides, the plastic from the package puts some creatures in danger, especially birds and fish.
Recycling helps, but the recycling itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them have the idea that this cannot continue. For example, supermarkets should encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition. This is especially true of food. But this idea has spread to other products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected. We need to face the waste of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
1．（小题1）What does the underlined word “over-consumption” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Using too much packaging.
B．Recycling too many wastes.
C．Buying more products than needed.
D．Making more products than necessary.
2．（小题2）Which of the following damage of over packaging is NOT mentioned?
A．It may waste land.
B．It may pollute the
