New York Time —A gunman killed eight people at a mall in Omaha this afternoon and then killed himself,  setting off panic among holiday shoppers,  the police said.
“The person who we believe to be the shooter has died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, ” Sgt. Teresa Negron of the Omaha Police Department said at televised news.  “We have been able to clear the mall, ” she said. “We don’t believe we have any other shooters. ” The police said that at least five other people had been injured in the shootings. 
She did not give the shooter’s identity. “We are still doing the investigation, ” Sergeant Negron said, adding that the city’s mayor, who was out of town, was on his way back to Omaha.
She said the police received a 911 call from someone inside the Westroads Mall on the west side of Omaha, and shots could be heard in the background. The first police officers arrived at the mall six minutes after the first call, she said, but by then the shootings were over.
It is reported that the gunman left a suicide note that was found at his home by relatives. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity (匿名) said the note indicated that the gunman wanted to "go out in style".
The shootings broke the usually banal routine of holiday shopping. The gunman was said by some witnesses to have fired about 20 shots into a crowd. Some customers and workers ran screaming from the mall, while others dived into dressing rooms to hide from the shooter.
Shoppers and store workers were trapped inside the mall, which has roughly 135 stores. Others streamed out of mall exits with their hands raised. President Bush was in Omaha this morning to deliver a speech, but he had left the city by the time the shootings took place.

When I was nine years old I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money shouting, “Mama, all the people couldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler,” I replied. A dream was born.
Recently, I began pursuing（追求） my dream of motivating others. I realized that everything I had accomplished — the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking appointments, training and managing for a major fortune 100 company as a senior manager— had prepared me for this moment. I told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height in career. He told me to proceed（進行） and he believed I would succeed.
Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage (抵押) payment and now we were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.
When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles（奇跡） really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn’t miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking appointments with new clients (客戶). I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she marked, “The world always makes way for the dreamer.”
小題1:Why was the kit sent for?

A．Selling greeting cards.	B．Collecting greeting cards.
C．Buying greeting cards.	D．Sending greeting cards.

小題2:When did the author decide to become a motivational speaker?

A．After buying a new home by mortgage.

B．After giving notice to leave her safe position in the company.

C．After finding a job in a major fortune 100 company.

D．After listening to Mr. Ziegler’s inspiring speech.

小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A．She was once an excellent manager.

B．She left her post at the height of her career.

C．She was not sure whether the former company could accept her.

D．She didn’t miss paying the monthly mortgage payment.

小題4:What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?

A．Carry on with your dreams and you will be successful.

B．Risk everything you have for a dream and you will succeed.

C．The world belongs to dreamers.

D．Everyone will find their dreams.

A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about   36  in work and life.
Before offering his guests   37 , the professor went to the kitchen and   38  with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups -- porcelain（瓷）, plastic, glass, crystal, some   39  and cheap, some exquisite（精致的）and   40 -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you   41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups were   42  up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is   __43 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the   44  of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself   45  no quality to the coffee. In most cases   46  is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you   47  wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously   48  for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.
Now consider this:   49  is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to   50  life, and the type of cup we have does not define（規(guī)定）, nor change the   51  of life we live. Sometimes, by   52  only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has offered us.
God brews（釀造）the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
“The   53  people don’t have the best of everything: They just   54  the best of everything.”
Live simply. Love   55 . Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.
Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.
Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman , the writer of “Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side”.
The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.
People also take second jobs with an eye to the future -- wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.
Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure he wasn’t tied to one system that ended up failing.
Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries -- no longer just service, office and sales jobs.
“Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. “That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.”
As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.
Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance.
“The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.”
Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.
Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job.
“It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet,” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.”
小題1:The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.
 

A．he found it exciting to do a part-time job

B．he needed to make ends meet with more money

C．he feared he would lose his present job one day

D．he felt more and more pressure from his employer

小題2:Some companies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ________.

A．their workers cannot do extra-hour work for them

B．their workers will be too tired to try their best at work

C．their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs

D．their workers will not get to work and be off work on time

小題3:The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph means ________.

A．moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy

B．moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money

C．moonlighting strengthens your professional skills

D．moonlighting brings you chances to do something different

小題4:What is the article mainly about?

A．The ways of moonlighting.	B．The reasons for moonlighting.
C．The problems with moonlighting.	D．The kinds of people who moonlight.

When Chato’s barking didn’t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried nibbling on the teenager’s leg to get the girl out of the burning house.?
“No one was hurt.” Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7:00 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia’s home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there,” Hamilton said. “It was scary.”
“Seals called me screamingly,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the house. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”?
It is said that Garcia’s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark.” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”?
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an improper extension cord(電纜) used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the house was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates （估計）for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” Clyatt said.?
