21、   “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy- they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” - Jeff Bezos.

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife Mackenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mackenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor and she wanted me to follow my passion.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he persuaded me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I believed I would always be haunted(萦绕) by a decision to not try at all.

After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

【1】What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?

A.The desire to follow his passion. B.The strong support of his wife.

C.The increasing usage of the Internet. D.A bookstore with millions of exciting titles.

【2】What was the author’s situation before starting Amazon?

A.He was a garage inventor. B.He was in search of a good job.

C.He was more than thirty years old. D.He was satisfied with his working condition.

【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase in Para.3?

A.Try to do it. B.Guess it.

C.Take a picture. D.Do quickly.

【4】What can we know about the author from the passage?

A.He got approval(批准) from his boss. B.He wanted someone else to try the idea.

C.He might not regret if he failed the idea. D.He might go back to his boss if he failed.

【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Cleverness and Kindness B.The Starting of Amazon

C.Following My Passion D.We Are What We Choose

23、Morning, everyone. This is BBC Six Minutes English. Today we are going to talk about tips for travelling in England. If you want your trip to be a pleasant one, please keep these rules in your mind.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you are not allowed to buy alcohol(酒精) in this country if you are less than 18 years old. Your friends can’t buy it for you either.

24、Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to the flight mode—it’s for “safety reasons”.

But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.

When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios. Pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “This sound does not affect safety, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, it isn’t still a good idea.

When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect (连接) to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (范围). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers.

As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, there shouldn’t be too many “handoffs (信号转移)”; people shouldn’t travel faster than cars and phone users should be close to the ground.

However, during the flight, telephone calls cannot meet any of the conditions above. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.

But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions (功能). For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airline has in-flight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.

【1】When you are on a plane, you should ________.

A．turn off your phone

B．turn the phone down to silence

C．put your phone in your bag

D．leave your phone at home

【2】The underlined word “interference” here means “_______” in Chinese.

A．震动

B．干扰

C．记录

D．光束

【3】When we make or receive a call on the ground, _______.

A．we must walk around all the time

B．the phone must be more expensive

C．we must travel faster than a car

D．there must be a cell tower that deals with the call

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．It’s not a good idea to make phone calls on an airplane.

B．Telephone calls on airplanes are bad for the airplane radio.

C．Now we can use other phone functions on planes.

D．On a plane, our cellphones work better than on the ground.

【5】The best title for the passage may be “________”.

A．Can we make calls on a plane?

B．How to make calls on a plane

C．What to do with cellphones on planes

D．How to make and receive calls freely

25、Early in the morning, at noon, or in the evening you can see Americans running. Men and women, young and old run e【1】— along the beaches of California, through Central Park in New York, down quiet streets in small towns or at the gym. Some people even run in their living  r【2】.

Running wasn’t so p【3】 in the past. In the 1960s, runners were mostly athletes (运动员) and healthy, strong people. When people saw a runner, they used to ask, “Hey, what’s the hurry?” or they might say to themselves, “Is he c【4】?” At that time, women almost n【5】 ran. If they did, they might be laughed at. But today all these attitudes (态度) have c【6】. Men and women of all ages enjoy running.

Doctors say many of the health  p【7】 in the United States come from these bad habits: eating too much, smoking cigarettes, and doing  l【8】 exercise. Doctors tell us, “Eat less, don’t smoke, and exercise m【9】.” Running is a good exercise b【10】 it helps build a strong heart and lungs. It also helps most people lose weight.
