One morning in 2007．Parthasarathy---we usually called him Partha．---came to meet me．He was disabled and was not an engineer but had majored in a computer course in college．I told Partha，“I’d like to employ people like you．”In fact，it turned out to be the right decision to employ him．Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself．I was not doing any charity by employing him because my company benefited more from Partha．I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them．
At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs．Seeing him struggle．I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly．Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people, and we have special toilets for them．We have also built houses for them near the office so that they can avoid long travelling hours．
After meeting Partha，I decided to hire more disabled people．We waited six months to get another disabled person who then became our receptionist．
I don’t regard employing disabled people as charity．I consider it my responsibility．The country has spent much money educating me and I feel it is time for me to do something as a reward．
It is great to work with them．Seeing them work, get married, settle in life and have children is a wonderful experience．
We have 550 employees now, and 20 percent of them are disabled．We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but onty to find one or two in each college．Parents don’t send them out．The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents，but we hire them even if they are not engineers．
小題1:What kind of person was Partha?(No more than 10 words)
小題2:What does the underlined word “scant” in the 1st paragraph mean?
(No more than 2 words)
小題3:Why is the ground floor intended for the disabled people?(No more than l2 words)
小題4:How many disabled workers are there in the writer’s company now?
(No more than 2 words)

小題1:Partha was disabled but didn’t stop improving himself.
小題2:Little./Not enough.
小題3: Because the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs.
小題4:110.
小題5:Yes. Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves.

試題分析：文章介紹作者的公司聘用了一些殘疾人，這不是做慈善，作者認(rèn)為身體殘疾的人比其他人更加有信念，而且這也是他回報(bào)社會的方式。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題：從第一段的句子：Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself．可知Partha是個(gè)殘疾人，但是沒有停止提高自己：Partha was disabled but didn’t stop improving himself.
小題2:猜詞題：從第一段的句子：I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them．可知作者認(rèn)為身體殘疾的人比其他人更加有信念，但是我們不夠關(guān)注他們。從but unfortunately看出這個(gè)單詞的意思是“Little./Not enough”.
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)題：從第三段的句子：At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs．Seeing him struggle．I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly．Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people,可知作者的公司的第一層為殘疾人設(shè)計(jì)，因?yàn)樗麄兣罉翘莶环奖悖築ecause the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs.
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題：從最后一段的句子：We have 550 employees now, and 20 percent of them are disabled．可知作者的公司有110個(gè)殘疾人.
小題5:這是一道開放題，考生可以自由發(fā)揮，但是提倡積極的答案：Yes. Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves.

Across the world, mobile phones are very popular with young people. They think that the phones are more than a means of communication — having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has worried some health professionals. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people will suffer from health problems because of the use of mobile phones. But mobile phone companies say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissue (組織) of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age due to the fact that he couldn’t remember even simple tasks. The man had been talking on his mobile phone for about six hours a day for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it is better to use mobile phones less often. Use a normal phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. So, for now, it is wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
小題1:Why do young people buy mobile phones according to the passage?
(No more than 11 words) (2 marks)

小題2:Why did the salesman mentioned in the passage retire young?

Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism． More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose, as well as the world around us． Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying, and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations． India is one of the best places for ecotourism, and with the destinations below you can be sure that you’ll not only be protecting the earth, but giving something back to the area too．
Kerala, more commonly known as “God’s Own Country”, is a beautiful state on the southern tip of India． It’s a biologically diverse area, with many unique animal species, and almost 2,500 plant species in its tropical forests—that’s nearly a quarter of all India’s plant groups． In the past, though the forests in this area were much cleared, today they are well protected． There are plenty of wildlife reserves where you can see some of these unique animals．
With tourism developing in the area and money brought in, more attention can be given to protecting its plants and animals, ensuring that the people in the area have a better quality of life．

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches，we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us．Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks．The world has realized that we need the species，like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem．
Sharks，in particular，are“in’’these days．Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee，killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool．
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades，threatening sharks with extinction(滅絕)-up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins．But we have started to reverse the trend，particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu．
In California，a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.
Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years．These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins．
Actually，stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products．These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos，besides killing marine life．
Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys，killing animals is big business．The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a fall-scale war．The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals．
小題1:Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks?
(No more than 15 words)
小題2:What’s the main reason for killing sharks?(No more than 10 Worals)
小題3:Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup?
(No more than 5 Words)

Speaking comes to most people as naturally as breathing. On many occasions our words are expressed without conscious thought; in fact we rarely stop and think about what we are saying. Thousands of words pour out of our mouths each day as our thoughts, opinions, judgments and beliefs are freely conveyed. Often, however, we are unconscious of the positive or negative effect which these words have on ourselves and the people around us.
Words have tremendous power. Words give out energy and a message which creates a reaction in others. Everything you say produces an effect in the world. Whatever you say to someone else will produce some kind of an effect in that person. We are constantly creating something, either positive or negative with our words.
An important key to success in life is to understand the power of words. A word is a permanent thought. Our thoughts do have a great effect on us even though they are internal. What we think affects the way we live our life, and affects our emotions, our attitudes and our behaviour. A thought spoken, however, has even more power. It can never be taken back ; it is out of our mouth and will have an effect. Our words have even more power than our thoughts because they not only affect ourselves, but the people and the world around us.
Successful people take control of their words, rather than letting their words control them. They are more conscious of their thoughts and words and the power they produce. Successful people understand that they need to speak positively rather than negatively in order to see success. Successful people are characterized by the words that they speak. They know the importance of speaking words that will build self-esteem and confidence, build relationships and build possibilities. They speak words of affirmation, encouragement, love, acceptance and appreciation.

At some point I noticed that people were staring at me. The box boys at the supermarket spoke to me with respect. People were mistaking me for somebody else. It had to be somebody who weighed close to 300 pounds and wore a full beard. I enjoyed the way people would suddenly turn to look at me as if I wore wings. Nobody mentioned my name， but naturally they assumed I knew who I was. I could hardly ask， “By the way， who am I？”
As a result of being in the public eye， I began to change myself. I kept my shoes shined. Also， I changed shirts every day. The more I changed， the more second looks I received. From enjoying the attention， I began to long for it. I’d always felt I was somebody special. Now others were finally realizing it.
But who did people think I was？ I must have been a movie star， or at least a television personality. Then one evening I was sitting at a bus stop in Westwood Village when two young men in an old car looked up at me with that expression I had come to recognize as a respect to my talent and success. One of them said， “Hello， Dom！” So that was who I was！ Once I imagined that well-known comedian， I realized I couldn’t have been anybody else. I gave my young fans a big celebrity grin and said， “Hello， boys！” I waved one hand with a welcome-to-Hollywood gesture they would be talking about for years.
I also realized that it was time to go on a diet. I ate more salads and vegetables. I laid off the carbohydrates. I walked a couple of miles every day. When I had lost about 40 pounds， I shaved off my beard. I didn’t realize that my barber had actually been trying to make me look like the fat Dom DeLuise. I waited for my clients to ask， “What did you do to yourself？” But nobody even noticed a change. I melted back into the general population.
小題1:Why was the author mistaken by people for somebody else？  (No more than 11 words)     (2 marks)
小題2:What did the author do to change himself as a result of being in the public eye？ (No more than 12words)     (2 marks)
小題3:Why did the young man greet the author？(No more than 10 words)     (3 marks)
小題4:What did the author expect his clients to do ？(No more than 11 words)(3 marks)
