21、Maggie, a girl of thirteen years old, lived on the west coast of the United States. She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.
One day, Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time. However, it was not the same as usual. She was home alone. Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
After finishing her homework, Maggie felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat. Just then she felt a shake, then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of many things were deafening, and Maggie hugged herself in fear.
After what seemed like a very long time, the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. And there was the smell of natural gas in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve (阀门) was and how to turn it off. Dad had ever shown her before.
Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable. Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess. As Maggie approached the open basement door, she could see the steps. Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.
While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto a pile of boxes. An hour later, she woke up and found her parents beside her. She was happy that she was still alive!
【1】What does the underlined word “deafening” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Very loud.
B．Quite familiar.
C．Very distant.
D．Quite strange.
【2】What can we know about Maggie?
A．She was the only child in her family.
B．She was not afraid at all during the earthquake.
C．She was hurt when tuning off the water valve.
D．She had experienced an earthquake before.
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．A story of a girl in an earthquake.
B．The importance of preparing for an earthquake.
C．The ways to escape from an earthquake.
D．The danger of an earthquake.
22、How would you feel if a colleague suggested you take a comedy class to improve your sense of humor. I felt stressed. 【1】
Yet according to Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas, humor is not something you are born with or without. 【2】 What’s more, finding our funny sides makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity, and makes us more likable. It helps in any life situation. 【3】
I turned to Aaker and Bagdonas and they agreed to teach me how to find my funny bones. In our first call, we discuss the common misconceptions that stop many of us in our comedy tracks. The first, Aaker says, is the belief that humor has no place in certain situations, especially at work. 【4】 But 98% of the top executives say they prefer employees with a sense of humor and 84% of bosses believe those employees do better work.
They are so convinced of the power of humor that they also advocate its ability to help people avoid difficult situations. 【5】 Research shows that people who watch a funny video before trying to solve a puzzle are twice as likely to be successful and when we do make mistakes, learning to laugh at them can have a positive impact on our psychology. It takes off the pressure and if you show colleagues that you aren’t afraid to laugh at your own mistakes, they’ll feel safer owning up to theirs.
A．Rather, it can be developed gradually.
B．We worry about not being taken seriously.
C．Humor has been proved to increase creativity.
D．Some people just aren’t funny and I’m one of them.
E．This explains why people eagerly sign up for the humor course.
F．Every joke follows the fundamental structure of setup and punch line.
G．If you feel uncomfortable making the jokes, leave them to someone else.
23、My teacher，Mr.August J.Bachmann，was the most influential teacher I ever had.
I had gotten into trouble in his class:Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him.Mr.Bachmann stopped the fight，but instead of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question，“Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？”
I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships.No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future.That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me.At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college.This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey.
Well，55 years have passed，and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29.I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal(校长).
I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations.I've won a number of great educational awards.But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me？It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.
I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher.If I have saved any children，it is because of him.If I have been a successful educator，it is because I had a great role model in Mr.Bachmann.

24、From National to International
Do you have what it takes!
It’s our job to help you make that leap?
The world is waiting. Are you ready?
Is your small business ready to make that next step and expand abroad? A recent survey estimates that up to 40% of all small businesses are intending to do just that. Is your business making up this 40%? Making that move and expanding onto the international market require a different approach from the one you’re used to. On a national level, it is often enough to sell the right product at the right price. Failure to adopt a different sales approach on the international market can often lead to failure as international customers expect different things. This is why we come in. The right knowledge and the right preparation can make all the difference on the international level.
The main aspects of the program we offer are:
1. How can weaknesses be identified and reduced?
2. How are cultural differences handled in the business world?
3. In-depth knowledge of district law, how does it help?
4. How can we target the right kind of international customers and how can we finance this bigger, more complicated international operation?
5. What can be done to create a foolproof (万无一失的) business plan?
Cost of the course: $2, 000 per person. If 4 or more people apply from the same company, then discounts can be arranged. Course times can be changed to accommodate your employees’ schedule. Most importantly, this course is fully accredited by some top level colleges and universities.
