Nowadays,much of the profit of a business—sometimes the whole of its success—depends upon the use of the odds and ends.The odds and ends are various small things,which are left over when the main things are produced.But they possess a real value of their own.
If a business,big or small,looked down upon these odds and ends,it would mean a big difference in the amount of the benefit of the business.Take a meat factory for instance,there are countless odds and ends—bones and hair,which can be made into glue and rope to increase its profit greatly.
Then,if we are college students,what about our odds and ends—the odd moments?Take time for example.Every one of us has the exact same amount of it.Everyone’s success or failure depends on the use of their time.But everyone uses the time more or less in the same way.However,why many great men in science or art have made huge successes for themselves in the world?Because they have made best use of their odd moments.Thomas A.Edison,never allowed his odd moments to slip by.He thought,planned,and tried his inventions.He always worked twenty hours out of each twenty­four.His inventions made him famous all over the world,and provided valuable wealth for the human beings.
So,remember this axiom:busy people always find time  for everything.However,people with great spare time find time for nothing.Is it very strange?Not at all!The question is how to gather up fragments of time and make full use of them.As many big businesses have found,the real profit is in using the odds and ends.We also must do in this way to make best use of our odd moments and manage to be successful in something we do.
小題1:What are odds and ends?
A.They are nothing useful.
B.They are very small,but valuable things.
C.They are the main things factories produce.
D.They are odd moments students refuse to gather up.
小題2:Why should the odds and ends be made full use of?
A.Because they often determine success or failure.
B.Because they can only be found by successful people.
C.Because they are various small things people don’t want.
D.Because they are useless things left over.
小題3:The underlined word axiom in the last paragraph means________.
A.a(chǎn) statement given by famous people
B.a(chǎn) statement accepted as true
C.a(chǎn) statement that can be argued
D.a(chǎn) statement accepted in scientific field
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The profit of all companies depends on the odds and ends.
B.In some way,big meat companies can ignore some small things,such as bones.
C.College students only make full use of their spare time before exams.
D.Many successful men are good at using the odds and ends.

His name is James,but people call him Rocky.The name fits.He’s big,over six feet tall,and he’s tough when he needs to  be.James “Rocky” Robinson lives and works in New York City’s Bedford­Stuyvesant district,one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the United States.Yet it is here in Bed­Stuy that he is saving lives and reviving a community.
In 1966,when Rocky was twenty­six years old,his seven­year­old niece was struck by a car on the street of Bed­Stuy.Had someone at the scene known first aid or CPR,she might have lived.But by the time she reached a hospital,she was dead.
His niece’s unnecessary death was one reason why Rocky became a paramedic (護(hù)理人員).Working for the Emergency Medical Service of New York City,he realized that more than half the city’s emergency calls came from high­crime areas.According to Rocky,residents of crime­plagued minority neighborhoods like Bed­Stuy sometimes had to wait as long as 26 minutes after calling 911 for an ambulance while calls in richer white communities were answered in_a_fraction_of_the_time.
Rocky decided to find out more about the problem.His research showed that the richer communities had organized their own ambulance corps (特殊部隊(duì)) to improve city services because the city was overwhelmed with calls.“If that’s the key to success,”he told his friend and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) colleague,Joe Perez,“we’ll start our own corps in Bed­Stuy!”
In 1988,Rocky had no idea that he and Joe would be attempting to establish the first minority­run ambulance service in the country,or just how creative he would have to be to overcome the difficulty.The pair’s first challenge was to find a location for the headquarters.They took over an abandoned building that was commonly used by drug dealers.Because there was no electricity or running water (except for the leaks in the roof),the two men worked during daylight hours.They used a two­way radio to receive emergency calls.
Although they could make do with their new headquarters,Rocky and Joe still lacked the most important component of an ambulance service:an ambulance.An old Chevrolet (雪佛蘭) got them to the scenes of accidents,fires,shootings,and stabbings.But the car didn’t always start.At times,they were forced to strap (用帶捆綁) their trauma kits and oxygen tanks to their backs and run on foot to the emergencies.Everyone laughed,except the victims who were still alive when  Rocky and Joe arrived.
小題1:The author believes the name “Rocky” fits James because________.
A.he is a tall and tough man
B.he is tall and does something big
C.he is living in a tough community
D.he leads a tough community
小題2:James’ seven­year­old niece would have been saved if________.
A.she had been sent to a better hospital
B.she had got first aid and arrived in hospital earlier
C.James had been at the spot
D.emergency calls had been available in the area
小題3:The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 means________.
A.in a short time
B.over a long time
C.in the near future
D.from time to time
小題4:We can infer from Paragraph 4 that________.
A.a(chǎn)mbulance corps were only allowed in rich white communities
B.James found white communities made more emergency calls
C.city services were not enough to meet people’s need
D.it was easy to establish the minority­run ambulance service

It had been a long,hard,wonderful day.The two of us had walked from the sea’s edge through the length of a beautiful valley,climbed a superb mountain,travelled its narrow,rocky ridge(山脊),and now stood on its final peak,tired,happy and looking for the perfect campsite.
The experienced backpacker has a natural feeling for such things,and our eyes were drawn to a small blue circle on the map,like an eye winking at us.We could not see it from where we were,but we followed our judgement and went down steeply until it came into view.
We were right.It was a calm pool,with flat grass beside it.Gently taking our packs off,we made the first of many cups of tea before pulling up our tent.Later that evening,over another cup of tea and after a good meal,we sat outside the tent watching the sunset over a sea dotted with islands,towards one of which a ferry was slowly moving.It is not always so perfect,of course.On another trip,with a different companion,a thoroughly wet day had ended at a lonely farm.Depressed at the thought of camping,we had knocked and asked if we could use a barn(谷倉) as a shelter.
Backpacking could be defined as the art of comfortable,self­sufficient(自給自足的) travel on foot.Everything you need is in the pack on your back,and you become emotionally_as_well_as_physically_attached_to_it.I once left my pack hidden in some rocks while I made a long trip to a peak I particularly wanted to climb.I was away for nearly three hours and ended up running the last stretch in fear that my precious pack would not be there.It was,of course.
The speed at which the backpacker travels makes this the perfect way to see any country.You experience the landscape as a slow unfolding scene,almost in the way it was made;and you find time to stop and talk to people you meet.I’ve learned much local history from simply chatting to people I met while walking through an area.At the end of a trip,whether three days or three weeks,there’s a feeling of achievement,of having got somewhere under your own power.
After years of going out walking just for the day,many people start backpacking simply through wanting to stay out rather than cut short a trip.
小題1:The writer and his companion knew there was a pool because ________.
A.they had been told about it
B.they could see it on the map
C.they had seen it earlier in the day
D.they could see it from the top of the mountain
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The map.B.The pool.
C.The mountain.D.The campsite.
小題3:How did the writer and his companion feel at the end of the day?
A.They were too tired to put up their tent.
B.They wished they could have found a farm.
C.They were anxious about the coming weather.
D.They were delighted with the spot they’d found.
小題4:What does the writer mean by being “emotionally as well as physically attached to it ” in Paragraph 4?
A.It is more than just a practical aid.
B.He walks better when he is wearing it.
C.It is not a good idea to leave it anywhere.
D.He might die on the mountains without it.

The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry's highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars.Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie? —— GreatMartin
“12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movie.It is more of a string of picture about several heartless and evil white men(and women)who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their minds.There is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery.” 一一GeminiJef
‘‘Never have I been stunned into an emotional silence after watching a film in the theater.I've come out of films before thinking” My god,that was unbelievable”,like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time,but this film just hits you on another level entirely.You sit there after it’s over,wondering if what you’d just experienced was real.The day after.you feel the same.”一一Pauljohnson
“This movie is just an average movie about slavery.Are you kidding me,segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes? Gravity has never been done before.12 Years a Slave I watched once and will never watch again.I watched Gravity 5 times and still love it.’’一一Dominionator
“This movie was realistic and engaging at every second.Even the dramatic pauses were worthwhile and definitely not a waste of time.The script inferred and hinted at events rather than just plain saying them,and that was genius.Outstanding photography,amazing special effects and the acting is top notch.There were a few people that walked out during some scenes.What a shame!” 一一Apols
小題1:The main purpose of GreatMartin’s writing is __________ .
A.to give a brief introduction of the movie
B.to share his own opinions with others
C.to invite answers to his question
D.to explain why he asks the question
小題2:The underlined word “stunned’’ in the third paragraph probably means __________ .
A.puzzledB.shockedC.disappointedD.concerned
小題3:Among the four speakers,who made positive comments on the movie?
A.GeminiJef and PauljohnsonB.Pauljohnson and Dominionator
C.GeminiJef and DominionatorD.Pauljohnson and Apols
小題4:Which of the following best states Pauljotmson’s ideas about l2 Years a Slave?
A.It leaves little room for character development.
B.It reaches the height of The Lord of the Rings.
C.It doesn’t deserve such high praise.
D.It amazes the audience with its special effects.

Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school,and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked,and Delta,the airline,offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York,so I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day,my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes,I encouraged—okay,ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars.Our total take:$1,600.Not bad,huh?

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes,clothes for my children,and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape longer,and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.

College is a fresh start, and a chance to make new friends. These friends may become your lifelong friends, or the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Whether you are going to a nearby college or the university far away from home, you are likely to meet new people wherever you are. Here are some advice to help you make friends at college.
Clearly, your classmates are all possible friends! Get to class early on the first day, and if you get there early enough, you will be in the room, or waiting outside it, with one other person, or a small group. A good casual opener would be to ask if you’re in the right classroom, then introduce yourself, and explain that you’re new, and a freshman. Do this at all of your classes, and you will have a group of friends that you can make study groups with, take notes for you when you’re absent or sick.
If you live in a dormitory, your hall will most likely have many fun activities to take part in. Take advantage ofthem, and go to as many as you can. Knowing your friends living in the same hall will also come in convenience because they will be the ones hosting and inviting you to parties that you will be missing out. Joining as many organizations as possible will also help you make new friends quickly. Parties are there to help students form close relationship with each other. Doing a team sport is another great idea. The best part of joining an organization is that you’ll find people who share your interests, and with whom you’ll therefore have a lot to talk about.
小題1:Getting to class early will ___________.
A.give you more information about the teacher
B.let you concentrate more on your class
C.give you a good chance to make friends
D.leave a good impression on others
小題2:According to the text, the friends you get to know in class may __________.
A.share your interestsB.invite you to parties
C.help you to become a good playerD.take notes for you

A.A classmate.B.A student in the first year.C.A girl student.D.A new teacher.
小題4:Which piece of advice is NOT given by the author?
A.Make friends with your classmates.
B.Take part in dorm activities.
C.Do the same team sports as your classmates.
