He is the man who beat Google. His search engine now dominates the world's fastest-growing Internet market.

　　Robin Li (Li Yanhong), Chairman and CEO of China's most popular navigation site Baidu. com, is among the “Top 25 powerful business leaders in China” List issued by China Entrepreneur magazine several months ago.

　　The 37-year-old man has received a lot of attention. He is both heralded as a model entrepreneur and accused of encouraging online music piracy（盜版）.

　　Li has firsthand experience with the American competition（角逐）. A native of Shanxi Province, he went to the US for post-graduate study at the State University of New York in 1991 and worked for Dow Jones in New Jersey and then Infoseek in Silicon Valley.

　　Having seen the Internet at first-hand on both sides of the Pacific, he returned to China in 1999.

　　“As a scientist by training, I am a little bit stubborn and I wanted to know how best I could use my talent,” said Li. The result of his stubbornness was Baidu. com.

　　Asked about Bill Gates' recent comment that Google is becoming more influential, Li says the Microsoft chairman should watch out for the challenge from China.

　　“If he is worried about Google he will probably be more worried about Baidu,” he says. “When the Chinese market stops growing so fast, we will look outside.”

[　　]

A．He wanted to make sure of his ability.

B．He wasn't used to living abroad.

D．He wanted to earn much money.

(2)What does the underlined word “dominate” in the first paragraph mean?

A．He has a lot of experiences from home and abroad.

B．He is so stubborn that he broke the law.

C．He believes in himself in his career.

The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home. According to the Coalition’s studies, of over two hundred million people living in th U?ited States, up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s, fast-rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes.According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much larger part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.

1. The word “address” in the first line probably means 　　　　 .

A. talk about　　　 B. deal with　　　 C. fight for　　　 D. write to

2. How many people are homeless in the U.S. according to the Coalition studies?

A. 39% of the population.　　　　　　　　 B. 200 million people.

C. About 3 million people.　　　　　　　　 D. About one-fifth of the population.

3. Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because________.

A. they have no home addresses

B. they mostly have a drinking problem

C. they aren't supported by government programs

D. they often don't have enough work experience

4. What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.S.?

A. The passing of new housing laws.

B. The fast growth of family size.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

C. The slow construction of houses.

D. The ever-rising price of housing.

I went into Harrods in London (a huge department store I am sure you have heard of) to buy some Minton china plates for a wedding anniversary which was to be a group gift from friends to other friends in Geneva.

Having only 30 minutes between meeting. I whizzed there in a taxi from the office and battled through the milling people on the 2nd day of the sales on the ground floor up to the 5th to the china department. There was a man standing there who was obviously a sales person who I rushed up to and asked if he had this particular china in stock and if it would take long to wrap, etc. He was amazing. He got the plates in seconds, wrapped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card, to which I replied no, because I lived in Switzerland, to which he replied asking if, as I lived abroad, would like a tax rebate form(退稅表). After that he showed me what to do, produced a map of the store and told me where I should go for the formalities(程序). That was fabulos! I thanked him and said what wonderful service he had given me. I even asked if he gave this to everyone, to which he answered: “I’m just doing what is required at Harrods”. With that, a tall man in a grey suit approached me and offered his hand to shake mine saying, “Can I introduce myself? I am the Chief Executive of Harrods and what an interesting conversation I have just heard…” He had been wandering through the store (as you should do as a hands-on CEO) and had overheard me thanking this salesman, whose face, I can hardly

describe, was frozen in a mixture of delight awe and astonishment!

Can you imagine the salesman going home to his family and friends recounting what the CEO spoke to him after overhearing him being praised by a customer?

56. The writer went to Harrods to __________.

A. kill time　　　 B. buy some gifts　 C. go sightseeing　　 D. shop for her wedding

57. What does the underlined word “whiz” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A. drive　　　　 B. arrive　　　　 C. rush　　　　　　 D. leave

58 Which of the following sentences can best replace “I’m just doing what is required at Harrods” in th second paragraph?

A. “I’m an honest man.”　　　　　　　　　　 B. “I must obey the rules.”

C. “Harrods is strict with its employees.”　　　 D. “Anybody will receive our good service.”

59. As soon as she bought what she wanted, the writer________.

A. went to a meeting.　　　　　　　　　　　 B. flew back to Geneva

C. visited one of her friends D. attended a wedding ceremony

60. The writer wrote the above passage because she thought what she had experience was so ______.

A. pleasant　　　　　 B. strange　　　　　 C. exciting　　　 D. amusing
