Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart,but always afraid to apply for a new job.

One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appoint?ment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man askedhim how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said,“Well, Icould take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.”Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?”Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?”He thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee .

You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible（有形的）things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.

These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated （積累） by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote（推動） a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent （代表）.

Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal （顯露）a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.

Others on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.” These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.

Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence ( 青春期 )—“it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,” says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship.

1.How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?

A. By collecting more tangible things.

B. By showing what ordinary people have collected.

C. By correcting what museums normally represent.

D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.

2.What can be learned about collectors from their collections?

A. Who they are.

B. How old they are.

C. Where they were born.

D. Why they might not mean to collect.

3.Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?

A. To help people sell their collections.

B. To encourage more people to collect.

C. To study the importance of collecting.

D. To find out why people visit museums.

4.According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they _______.

A. become adults

B. feel happy with life

C. are ready for a relationship

D. are in their childhood

Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.

The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK .

Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.

Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire. This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學(xué)年浙江杭州地區(qū)七校高三上期末英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

It’s 5pm on a Friday and I'm standing in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing - one of the most busiest place in Japan where more than a thousand of Tokyo’s smartly dressed people gather at eight points, ready to cross - then rush straight for each other. It looks like they must bump into each other, but It’s amazing that they all manage to reach the other side safely.

But the real reason I'm here is that I want to see people crash. I want businessmen to knock into each other, their umbrellas flying off their arms, and uniformed schoolchildren hitting grannies. Why may I see this now, but wouldn't have had the chance even a year ago? It’s very simple - smartphones.

Smartphone use is booming in Japan. In 2012, only about a quarter of Japanese used them, most being perfectly happy with their everyday mobiles. But now more than half of all Japanese now own a smartphone and the number is rising fast. But with that rise has grown another phenomenon - the smartphone walk. Those people who're staring at a phone screen adopt this kind of pace- their head down, arms outreached, looking like zombies（僵尸）trying to find human prey(獵食).

Surprisingly, an American named Michael Cucek who has lived here for more than 20 years told me smartphone walk probably wouldn’t be a long-term problem. Japanese phone manner is in fact better than anywhere else in the world - hardly anyone speaks on their phones on trains, and teenagers wouldn't dare broadcast music out of one. If things got truly bad at Shibuya, the police would just start shouting at people to look up.

But really, is the smartphone walk such an annoying problem? There's only one way to find out. So I leave the coffee shop, head down to the crossing and start typing an email, promising myself I won't look up until I get to the other side. When they start walking past me, it's my time to cross. As I step forward, the experience quickly becomes nervous - legs jump in and out of my vision without warning, while shopping bags fly towards my face before being pulled away at the last moment. I'm sure I'm going to get hit, but after a few seconds I relax. It’s OK. Everyone's reacting for me.

I expect to see two smartphone walkers just like me. But instead I find a young couple, very much in love and very much refusing to let each other’s hands go just to give way to a fool on his smartphone. The girl gives me such a look of dislike that I quickly apologize and rush round them. That look was enough to ensure I'll never be smartphone walking again.

1.From paragraph 1, we can know _____________.

A. people at Shibuya crossing always bump into each other.

B. more than a thousand of people gather at Shibuya crossing every day.

C. more than a thousand of people are ready to rush in a competition every day.

D. more than a thousand of people at Shibuya crossing make it a busy one in Japan.

2.Why does the author stand in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing?

A. Because he is waiting for somebody.

B. Because he can have a good view from there.

C. Because he wants to see what would happen because of smartphones.

D. Because it’s interesting to see businessmen’s umbrellas flying off their arms

3.How does Michael Cucek find smartphone walk in Japan?

A. He found it by accident when he lives here.

B. Japanese pay much attention to their phone manner in public.

C. The police in Shibuya are too strict with people’s phone manner.

D. Smartphone walk in Japan has a deep root.

4. How does the author confirm whether smartphone walk is annoying or not?

A. By personal experimenting

B. By comparing with other way of walk

C. By giving example.

D. By explaining the traffic rules patiently

5.After smartphone walking himself, the author thinks___________.

A. it’s exciting to walk while sending emails

B. it’s really dangerous to walk while sending emails

C. there are some others smartphone walking like him

D. other passers-by give way to him although they dislike.
