For the past two years, 8－year－old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(彈珠)．His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related—from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire（獨粒寶石）tables—sourced, purchased and processed by the mini－CEO himself.
“I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told The Mirror.
With profits now in the thousands, “the world's youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.
Harli launched Marble King after swapping（交換）marbles at school led to schoolchildren depleting(削減) his marble collection. Yes, he literally（確切地）“l(fā)ost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.
Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble－selling website and orders started pouring in.
Tina says her son's obsession(迷戀) with marbles started when he was just 6.
“His obsession became so big we started calling him the Marble King, so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it，” she told The Sun.
“I never thought it would become so popular—we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”
The 8－year－old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.
“Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world.” Tina told The Daily Mail.
“At the minute he is annoying me by asking about creating his won Marble King marbles, so that could well be the next step for him.”
【小題1】Why did Harli's marble company become popular as soon as he launched it?

A．Because it was run by “the world's youngest CEO”．
B．Because it filled the gaps of marble business.
C．Because Harli was fascinated with marble collection.
D．Because his mother and brothers helped him a lot.
【小題2】How many mass media are mentioned in the passage?
A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
【小題3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined expression “scale back”？
A．make smallerB．carry outC．turn downD．frighten away
【小題4】What message do the last two paragraphs carry?
A．Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family.
B．Harli's mother and brothers are worried about Marble King's future.
C．Marble King marbles will be more popular with marble fans around the world.
D．The “Marble King” has great ambitions for his Marble King Company.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆云南省芒市高一下學期期末考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

On Sunday while I was having my own Father’s Day celebration, I thought about my dad a lot. By the time I called to tell him that I loved him, he had already gone to bed. So I wrote the following to show what my dad means to me.

About 28 years ago, my dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for the auction（拍賣會）. Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it there.

One day, I was riding with my dad to Shreveport for the auction when he found a hitchhiker（搭車者）with a backpack. As soon as dad saw him, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name and continued to talk to him about all sorts of things. I can’t recall why but he told dad a lot of terrible things that had occurred to him. I sat in the back seat and watched the scene with amazement. I could see that the hitchhiker changed his attitude as he could tell someone who was really listening to him.

We drove another forty-five minutes before we had to exit the interstate（州際公路）. We pulled over and dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitchhiker a twenty-dollar bill and then a the-dollar bill.

We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I just witnessed. I was always told everyone to never pick up a hitchhiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. I’m sure that it made that poor man’s day, probably a month to follow.

While reflecting upon that story, I learned a lot about my dad and life. I learned that if you come from a place of service or compassion, you can change people’s lives. Just one single kind act can change someone’s life. It never occurred to my dad about not stopping to help him.

This is the type of person my dad is. Thank you for setting such high standards for me to follow.

Dad, I love you. Happy Father’s Day!

1.The author and his dad met a hitchhiker（搭車者）_______.

A．when they were just warned not to pick up a stranger

B．on their way to Shreveport to sell a car

C．on their way to the west for a trip

D．when their car was running out of gas

2.What do we learn about the hitchhiker from the passage?

A．Something unpleasant occurred to him.

B．He was going to the auction.

C．At first he didn’t believe in the author.

D．It was he who bought the author’s car.

3.How did the author feel about his dad’s behavior at that time?

A．Angry

B．Appreciated

C．Surprised

D．Ashamed

4.What did the author learn from his father?

A．Just a single kind act can make a difference.

B．Try learning to be a good listener.

C．Set high standards for yourself in life.

D．Offering a ride to a stranger is dangerous.
