I had never been late and didnt want my boss
9、to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that day wasnt a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs, one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to
10、 match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work. On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.
11、Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients
12、. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office. At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents.21.Which of the following is NOT the reason of the writer being late for h
13、er work? A.She got up late in the morning.B.She changed her purse and other little things. C.One of her shoe heels broke.D.She had a traffic accident on the way to work. 22.According to the passage, what could we learn about the writer?

15、nning makes a good ending. C.Where there is a will, there is a way.D.One trouble never comes alone. BOnce there was a young woman who didnt like her job. Every day when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Le
16、ave that job,” her husband told her.“Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job,” her grandchildren told her. “Oh, I will,” she said. “But not y
17、et. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I cant just yet.”I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way?” a customer asked th
18、e store owner. “Oh,” answered the man. “Hes lying on a nail.” “Well, why doesnt he move?” “Because its not hurting him bad enough.”Thats true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But were wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work
19、 pain damages our self-esteem, kills our passion or destroys our dreams.Wilbur Wright once commented, “We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldnt wait to get back to work. And people who are w
20、inning at working know that kind of passion, too.”They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things dont change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack(劫持) their self-esteem, passion or dreams.25.The woman complained to her husband

23、ing to go to work C.need more unique gifts and talentsD.are likely to change with the situation CDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton. To find out, we have to go back to
24、1066. In that year, the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne. The French not only changed the government but they also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high societ
25、y people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So, the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo-Saxon. The Norman French added about 10,000 F
26、rench words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use to day. Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origin. Some words suchas possi
27、ble and avenue are the same in French and English; only the pronunciation changes. Other words such as ballet or a la carte retain their French pronunciation in both languages. In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender, so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each. English has
28、 only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word blond describes someone with light-colored hair. Blond is used for men, and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns. Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The Fren
29、ch phrase a la mode means “in style.” In English, the phrase means “with ice cream.” Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style! Now, as you learn English, youre on your way to learning French! 29.French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because _ . A.too
30、many Frenchmen moved to Britain.B.the French brought animals with them C.the king and his officials spoke FrenchD.the king allowed French to be spoken 30.The underlined word “retained” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _? A.adoptedB.keptC.introducedD.deserted 31.Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn? A.Because English and French share similar p
