Travel Across Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜旳) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions, We were almost drunk on sensations The roaring (吼叫) of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto IMng in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: "Look! but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
"Wild horses? he said. "Why didn't you wake me up, Sophia?"
"I tired: But they were gone after a few seconds.
"Are you sure you didn't dream it?"
"You were the one who was sleeping!"
"Typical: he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take.
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

Operatunity
1 Operatunity is a TV talent show for amateur opera singers. The winners get the chance to sing with the English National Opera. When two housewives, Denise Leigh and Jane Gilchrist won in , their lives changed forever, As they sang Verdi's Rigoletto at the Coliseum(音乐厅) in Rome, they were transformed from working mothers into opera celebrities(名人).
2 "I live in the village I was born in," says Denise, who is blind. "Lots of my neighbours are family, and my life is all about my three children.- Jane, who worked as a cleaner and a shop assistant, was in a similar situation. She says, "AII l had to look forward to was seeing my four children grow up, and I love that, but ... you think 'there must be more to life'. Winning Operatunity has opened up avenues I never knew existed." .
3 "This last year has been amazing," Denise continues. "Last month was Paris, before that we were recording at Abbey Road, in London, and. recently we had our album launch at the Royal Opera House.. "We've been treated like princesses," laughs Jane. "...champagne, chocolates, five-star hotels ..."
4 But it wasn't all so easy. For Denise, the worst part was waiting at the beginning. "After I'd sent in my application form I worried for a month. Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition(试唱). That was awful." Even when they won the competition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren't allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise and Jane also found the travelling difficult. They couldn’t take their children
with them while they were away singing .so they had to organise childcare. However, there's been no problem with the physical side of singing: "We didn't have to worry about that as we've had lots of help and wonderful voice training," says Jane. They also had to learn to deal with the media.- "The kids loved the fact that they could stay up and watch us on TV, but I just couldn't understand why some newspapers were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21, rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum, says Denise.

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题拟定1个最佳选项。
第一篇 How to Be a Successful Businessperson
Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Here's a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants.
Zubair -Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.
At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(祖赁旳) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cook's assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. "I didn't like it," Mr. Kazi says, "but I always did the best I could."
One day, Mr. Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.
A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. t0 10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. lf someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.
A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again,'he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.
Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn't planning to stop there. He's looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy. "I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess," Mr. Kazi says. "The only way it can go is up."

第二篇 Three Ways to Become More Creative
Most people believe they don't have has imagination, but most of us, once much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time space money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski(滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books, They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think like fish!
36. According to the passage when we become adults,
A. most of us are no longer creative.
B. we are not as imaginative as children.
C. we can still learn to be more creative.
D. .we are unwilling to be creative.
37. According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem,
A. you should link it with candles.. . .
B. you have to think of buying a present for a friend.
C. you should link it with as many words as possible.
D. you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.
38. The second technique suggests that you just imagine .
A. setting a goal is as simple as skiing..
B. you have every resource to achieve your goal.
C. new possibilities will soon appear. .
D. December and January are the best months for skiing.
39. The phrase "put yourself 'in their shoes"' in paragraph.4 is closest in meaning to
A. dress yourself like them.
B. do as they ask you to
C. put on their shoes
D. think as they would
40. We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:
A. what are my customers' needs?
B. what do I usually do?
C. what did my boss tell me to do?
D. how should I sell my products?
第三篇 The State of Marriage Today
Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, and extramarital(婚外旳) affairs will be even more common than they are now.
But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (明暗旳)? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands-as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.
In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (悲观旳) as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen; the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply live together and don't bother t
