阅读下列材料，然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 

A

I found out that sometimes doing someone a favor could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me, but I didn’t understand. So I got closer to her and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers could not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test paper had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the classroom when all the other students were out. Then she began to talk to me about honesty and emphasized(重点强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had talked to me about all those things.

The next day, I realized that the teacher thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but she said it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen when she talked to me after the test. She continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was dear and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men, or “stewards（空乘）”helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers` luggage but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.

      Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer—she wanted a more adventurous (冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but she also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.

      Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an unreliable way to travel. There were often delays, many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.

       The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.

       At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.

             In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.

51. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph suggests that Ellen was the first woman to _________.

A. invent the new word “stewardess”                      B. flew a plane

C. work on a plane                                               D.travel by plane

52. From the second paragraph, we learn that__________.

A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as other girls

B. Ellen`s family was not rich enough to support her education

C. Ellen was fond of working on a farm

D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely.

53.The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ______.

A.her flying experience                                   B. her university education

C.her nursing experience                                 D. her life attitudes

54.According to the passage, in the 1940s ,a woman had to _____ if she wanted to be a stewardess.

A.be a nurse              B.be married                 C.be a mother                D.be young

55.The passage mainly talks about______.

A.the background of early flying pilots        B.the experience of flying passengers

C.the history of early flight attendants  D.the development of airplanes

“Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers(职业). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees(雇员) in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied(满意) with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “There are no happy jobs, only happy workers.” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics(特点).

First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest son’s pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.

Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.

Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called Film Aid, which shows movies in refugee(难民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.

Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.

56. Who is the book, Be Happy at Work, written for?

   A. Joanne Gordon herself.        

B. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron.

C. People who do not feel satisfied with their jobs.

D. The workers who agree with the author’s ideas.

57. Joanne Gordon believes that _____________.

   A. difficult jobs are terrible     

B. there are no happy jobs, only happy workers

C. rich and famous people have much more happiness than workers

D. only about one third of the employees in North America like their jobs

58. Why did Tony Hawk’s son say, “I’ve never seen my dad do work.”?

   A. Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work.

B. Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.

C. Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating.

D. Because Tony Hawk always finds something else he enjoys doing.

59. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us ____________.

   A. how to be a successful businessman               B. how to help people in difficulties

C. how to get along with the coolest people           D. how to become a happy worker

60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. The author of Be Happy at Work thinks that happiness at work is really important.

B. The writer of the passage tells us that many different kinds of work can be enjoyable.

C. Some people believe that only a few kinds of jobs can really make people feel happy.

D. Joanne Gordon believes that people will probably be happy at work when they are proud of what they do.

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.

   Charles’ father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Charles’ father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.

   As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many t hings: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.

      ① At the age of 16, he was sent to Edinburgh University(爱丁堡大学)to study.But he was interested in the history of nature.

      Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.

      Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants, which he sent home from the places he visited.

      When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.

      In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. ②Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.

      By 1859, Darwin had finished his famous book The Origin of Species. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed (反对) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

      Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.
