B
From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. After all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned: it is very important to work. No excuse.
When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display（陈列）, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.
21. What shop did the author’s father own?
A. A bookshop. B. A coffee shop. C. A clothing shop. D. A food shop.
22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The author ran after thieves many times.

D. The author’s father made some money.
23. All the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT______.
A. the importance of working B. the good ways to keep healthy
C. that safety comes before money D. that it’s bad to spend more than you make
24. According to the author, what usually makes people go in debt?
A. To rent a house for the family. B. To send their children to school.
C. To enjoy something unnecessary. D. To buy enough food for the family.
25. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to live a happy life. B. What makes a person successful.
C. The help the author got from his father. D. What the author learned from his father.

C
Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they don’t all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks (星巴克)coffee shops spread across the country.
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing（市场营销）.
In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso(浓咖啡 ) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.
However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.
26. The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. moved B. managed C. loved D. used
27. According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences?
a. This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.
b. He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.
c. Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.
d. Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.
A. a-d-c-b B. a-d-b-c C. d-c- b-a D. d-c-a-b
28. Why did so many Starbucks close in some countries?
A. All of the coffee tastes the same.
B. The coffee in these places was too expensive.
C. The people in these countries didn’t drink coffee.
D. There were too many coffee shops in one place.
29. Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage?(P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
30. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The History of Starbucks. B. The Culture of Starbucks.
C. The Popularity of Starbucks. D. The Environment of Starbucks.

Being Well-Organized And Getting Things Done
Being well-organized and getting things done and what we have done is tried to make them as easy to follow as possible to allow you to implement（实施）them immediately. There is no doubt that being organized does make a difference.
31. ______
It is something that you should do every single day and the best way to approach this is to place things in order of importance. Watching that movie may sound like a good idea, but put that at the bottom of the list and focus on things that have an impact on your work, health, or anything else that is key to your survival（生存）.

32. ______
Next, you should consider trying to plan ahead, so if you know that there is an appointment at a certain location for a certain time, then plan your day around that appointment.

33. ______
Knowing where everything is really will allow you to get more things done as you will waste less time hunting for that object that you require to complete your task. Too much time is wasted hunting for keys or that piece of paper and it also just stresses you out and can upset your pace.

34. ______
Giving tasks to others will always lead to you getting more done, but it is not just a case of picking anybody to do a task. Instead, you need to make sure that they are capable of doing it without running into any problems and that they do have the correct tools to complete the job.

35. ______
Having a schedule will help to force you into completing tasks on time and actually getting more done in the process. The only problem here is that you need to be sensible when working out how long something takes or you will put undue pressure on yourself and this is where mistakes can occur and you will actually then start to get less done.
