How harmful cigarettes are getting now! My grandmother died of lung cancer at age of sixty on Jan 27, 2009. Only then did I know cigarettes were the mainly cause of her cancer. She knows smoking was harmful, so she just couldn’t quit. She always hid her addiction, hoped that I would never start smoking. My grandmother was my role models and I loved her so much. Now I still wake up in every day wishing that smoking has never been invented. Our promise to her is that I will never smoke as long as I live, so that I don’t have to go through which she did.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
A Swiss adventurer flew into the history books Friday by crossing from France to Britain on only a jet­powered wing, describing afterwards how he felt “like a bird” over the English Channel.
“I have proved it is possible to fly like a bird，” he said with a big grin, adding “My aim was to realize the dream. You have an idea in your head, and to actually achieve it is the most gratifying thing you can do.”
Yves Rossy, 49, touched down in a field on top of the white cliffs of Dover after completing the 35­kilometer (22­mile) journey over one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
With the carbon wing strapped to his back, Rossy had leapt out of a small plane at an altitude of 2,500 meters over the French coast before jetting off at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour.
Against a backdrop of picture — perfect blue skies, he ended his adventure around ten minutes later by cutting his engines and deploying (使用) a green and blue parachute at an altitude of some 1,500 meters over the English coast.
His trip was broadcast live by two light aircraft and two helicopters which flew alongside him across the Channel.
Although it appeared perfect, in fact Rossy did not arrive at the intended landing site — apparently after he tricked his support staff.
“He didn’t land where he was supposed to because at the last minute he played a trick on me，” said Jean­Marc Colomb, the pilot of the plane which dropped Rossy over the French coast and then tailed him across the Channel.
21．Where is the destination of Rossy’s adventure this time?
A．The English Channel. B．Swiss. C．France. D．Britain.
22．In general, Rossy is ________ at this adventure.
A．famous B．successful C．unsuccessful D．inexperienced
23．What do you think of Rossy? He is________.
A．humorous B．optimistic C．aggressive D．critical
24．Which of the following is the best title?
A．Work hard to realize your dream
B．A Swiss’s flying is successful
C．A Swiss adventurer flew into the history books
D．A Swiss adventurer flies “like a bird” across English Channel

B
To switch or not to switch, that is the question. Google’s announcement of its Nexus One smartphone (智能手机) happened over a week ago and I’m still receiving lots of emails from readers asking the same question: Should they give up their iPhone for the Nexus One?
Some people with iPhones disappointed by American Telephone & Telegraph’s inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace it. Does the Nexus One offer the functions that Apple has led them to expect?
I’m on the fence myself, even though I never thought I’d be interested in anything but the iPhone. From my experience using the Nexus One, and from talking to people who have made the change, it’s not necessarily about the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One. The phones are extremely similar in design and general feel. Instead, the decision can be made based on the software (软件) services you use on your desktop.
My friend Chad Dickerson received a pre­launch Nexus One from Google three weeks ago. He said Google’s phone feels connected to certain services on the Web in a way the iPhone doesn’t. “Compared to the iPhone, the Google phone feels like it’s part of the Internet to me，” he said. “If you live in a Google world, you have that world in your pocket in a way that’s cleaner and more connected than the iPhone.”
Personally, the phones work perfectly with their own software, but both of them don’t make an effort to play well with other services.
25．Why are some iPhone users expecting a new type of phone?
A．Because their old ones are out of date.
B．Because they accept Google’s announcement.
C．Because of the limited service and high cost.
D．Because of the terrible software they can use.
26．What’s the author’s attitude towards the new phones in the third paragraph?
A．Negative. B．Neutral. C．Indifferent. D．Positive.
27．In Chad Dickerson’s opinion, the Nexus One is ________ the iPhone.
A．better than B．worse than C．as good as D．as bad as
28．The best title of the passage might be ________.
A．Apple’s new smartphone B．Competition between two phones
C．Good services matter D．Google’s new smartphone

C
I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 29 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”
At first I was paid in candy. 30 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 31
By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 32
The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 33 Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.
B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.
C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.
D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.
E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.
F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.
G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.
