My husband and I only have one car． So after work I always walk to his office and wait for him to drive mc home．

One day, while I was waiting for him, a beautiful Cadillac near me．Honestly, the driver was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen outside of a movie screen． Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had like an even row of pearls． Minutes later, a man came out of the building and walked over to her． They kissed and drove off．

Sitting there, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, I wanted to cry． It is so that some people have it all．

The next week I saw her again, and after that it became almost to see her． I would wonder if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went． I wanted her to the car so I could see her in full length． Did she wear classy, high-heeled shoes?

A few weeks, I was waiting in my usual spot and the lady's husband came over to their car．He opened the door． Slowly the pretty woman walked around to the passenger side— on a walking cane． She one leg with her hands and then the other one; she had a prosthetic（假肢） on her left leg and a brace （文架） on her right one．

When my husband arrived I told him about what had happened． He said he knew her husband and that, when the lady was 12 years old, she had been in a car that got stuck on the railroad tracks． Both her parents were killed．The rail company made a large with her because the crossing had no ; that is why she owned such a nice car．

For weeks I had this woman and her way of life． Now I realize how lucky I am．When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you don't be appearances．

With a good shopping position and the right amount of money, any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop. But the hours of work are very long---I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy---hour week, besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books.

The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love books---loved the sight and smell and feel of them---if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is a peculiar flavour（獨特的味道）about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets, or out-of-date geography books. For occasional reading---in your bath, for example, or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed---there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book.

But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t be borrowed easily, and I never buy rubbish.

1.List two conditions that are necessary to run a bookshop. (No more than 9 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

2.Why didn’t the author want to go back to the book trade? (No more than 10 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

3.What did the author feel most pleased about? (No more than 8 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

4.How did the author feel when he saw large quantities of books in the bookshop? (No more than 6 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

5.What kind of books does the author buy occasionally now? (No more than 10 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

選項。

1.They provide him wood and other products; they give him shade;and they help to prevent drought and floods.

2. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. 3. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.

4. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also hold the soil. 5. But where there are no trees, the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert．

A. This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees.

B. However, a lot of trees are being cut down.

C. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.

D. This prevents the soil from being washed away.

E. If there were no more trees, something terrible would happen.

F. Trees are useful to man in three very important ways.

G. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each． answer ．

Many people believe that classical music has nothing to do with young people today．However, this issue frequently causes heated debate．

Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people． For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty．

Others say it is more popular than we first imagine． Many young people listen to classical music without realizing it． It is often used in films and advertisements． For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup． Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it．

Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music．

However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped（超越） by technology． To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practice for hours． Nowadays, you don-t need to get aching arms from practicing． A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of his own bedroom．

A final point to bear in mind is that the term “classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras． This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people．

So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music． It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!
