From her first women’s hat shop, opened in 1910, Gabrielle Coco Chanel rose to become one of the most important fashion designers in Paris. Her fashion themes included simple suits and dresses, women’s trousers, perfume (香水) and so on.
She claimed a birth date of 1893 and a birthplace of Auvergne; she was actually born in 1883 in Saumur, though. Her mother worked in a nursing home for pool people. Gabrielle was born there. Her mother died whet she was only six.
She began to use the name Coco during a brief career a, a cafe and concert singer from 1905 to 1908. By the 1920s，her fashion house had expanded greatly. Her relaxing fashions, such as short skirts with casual look, were very different from the fashions popular in the formal decades.
In 1922 Chanel introduced a perfume, Chanel No.5 which became very popular and still remains a popular product today. Pierre Wertheimer became her partner in the perfume business in 1924. Wertheimer owned 70% of the company, Coco Chanel 10% and her friend, Bader, 20%. The Wertheimers continue to control the perfume company today.
She briefly served as a nurse in World War I. The fashion business in Paris was thus off for some years. In 1954 she came back and her women’s clothing business returned to its former popularity. Her natural, casual clothing once again caught the eye of women. She was still working in 1971 when she died.

A. was brought up by her father

B. worked in a nursing home for some time

C. earned more than Wertheimer from the perfume company

D. had an active and creative mind

He was a hero that saved two children from the jaws of a cougar(美洲獅). Standing barely 1.7 meters, the 22-year-old with black-frame glasses might pass more for a Chinese Harry Potter. Yet Shen Huigang is now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing. Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar’s two grandchildren. Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere. By the time they spotted the cat, it already had the head of 18-month-old Julien in its mouth.
“At first, my brain was nothing but blank,” Shen recalled. “But I believed I could get the child back.” He gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with his bag. Hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the baby and Hagar rushed to grab his grandson. But the animal didn’t run, instead turned toward 3-year-old Iris standing beside Shen. “Had Ian not been there, shouting at the cougar, remaining calm and standing firm, it would certainly have attacked Iris.” Hagar recalled.
They chased the animal back into the woods. “We moved slowly to our vehicle as we waved our fists and bags, pretending to wrestle it,” Shen said. “The vehicle wasn’t far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.” As Hagar drove for help, Shen held the heavily-bleeding boy in the passenger seat and calmly kept him awake by hugging and kissing him in case he would go into a coma(昏迷). The boy was flown to a hospital nearby. Doctors later said his little skull had been punctured(刺穿) through to his brain in two places. Luckily, Julien made a full recovery.
“Any hesitation, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien, but Ian was there…” Hagar said. Following the incident, the story appeared on Canadian TV networks in every city, and in many small town newspapers---plus many US Internet news sites. The Royal Canadian Humane Association planned to give Shen a Canada Bravery Award, but it couldn’t reach him because he had returned to China.
小題1:Why did the cougar drop the baby?
A．Because it was scared by the noise made by Ian’s shouting.
B．Because Hagar rushed to grab the baby from its jaws.
C．Because it wanted to attack Iris and took her away.
D．Because Hagar and Ian were chasing it back into the woods.
小題2:Which of the following statements about Shen Huigang is TRUE?
A．He was called Chinese Harry Potter because he was very brave.
B．His deed was spread both in Canada and the US.
C．He was better at fighting and wrestling compared with Hagar.
D．He was too shocked to move to the vehicle in the incident.
小題3:What did Ian do in the car to keep the baby awake?
A．He held, hugged and kissed the baby in the passenger seat.
B．He drove the car as quickly as possible to find a hospital.
C．He encouraged the baby telling him to be awake.
D．He held the heavily- bleeding wound of the baby.
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A．Saving Lives From the Jaws of Death
B．Experiencing a Family Outing
C．Taking Care of Two Children
D．Interviewing a Clever Young Student

Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(諷刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.
Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(機(jī)會(huì)) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward­looking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理學(xué)), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
小題1:Through his early experimental work, it is evident that ________.
A．Nobel was a man of strong will
B．Nobel was a man of gift
C．Nobel seldom got on well with his work
D．Nobel had his heart in his work
小題2:In fact, his inventions were first used in ________.
A．a(chǎn) war to kill and injure his fellow menB．building roads
C．digging tunnelsD．both B and C
小題3:Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, ________.
A．took a single interest in science
B．took a serious interest in money
C．took no interest in literature
D．took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
小題4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
B．In leaving behind a well­meant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
C．Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
D．Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
Nothing in the early years of Steve Job’s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term. He grew his hair and a beard, slept on friends’ floors, and sometimes went to a Hare Krishna temple for free meals. Like many drop-outs at that Beatles-inspired time, his ambition was to visit a guru（古魯[印度教的宗師或領(lǐng)袖]）in India, which he eventually did with a friend. When they got there, the guru had died.

For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.
“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope (聽(tīng)診器) and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, it’s easy to take people in,” he said.
One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her.
“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”
Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was. “ shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.
“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科醫(yī)生)who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.
小題1:York was proud of the fact that ___________.
A．a(chǎn) surgeon let him watch an operation.
B．he could perform some duties of a doctor.
C．he had cheated doctors for so long
D．people thought he could become a real doctor
小題2:York learned how to behave like a doctor by __________.
A．watching other doctors workB．talking to doctors and nurses
C．getting some training and experienceD．observing doctors while he was a patient
小題3:Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?
A．She had swallowed something and almost died.
B．She had to have and emergency operation.
C．She had been injured in a road accident.
D．She had lost consciousness while driving.
小題4:The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he _________.
A．pretended to be a psychiatristB．tried to get away from prison
C．was proud of what he had doneD．studied the behaviour of the psychiatrist
