24、   Imagine if your journey to work was from your bedroom to your living room. More and more people in the UK are doing their jobs at home.

Baz works as an engineer in a West London factory. He’s been an engineer since he left school - but he’s not very optimistic about his future. Heavy industry in the UK has almost disappeared. More people work in Indian restaurants than in steel, coal and shipbuilding put together! Baz also often gets tired of his long journey to work. Whether he travels by car or by public transport, it can take up to two hours a day.

His sister, Liz, lives in the north of England. She’s an Information Technology (IT) trainer at a college. Once every four weeks, she meets her trainees in person, but most of her training is done through IT.

Baz’s wife, Helen, seldom travels to work at all. She’s a graphic designer for a London advertising company. Once she’s got the children off to school, she starts work in front of her computer screen. She’s currently designing publicity material for a major London festival. When she’s finished her designs, she sends them electronically to her director. He works from home too - occasionally they meet up for a coffee.

Most people in the UK, like Baz, spend hours travelling to work - and complain about it, too. But an increasing number of people work as telecommuters, like Helen or Liz. Almost all of their work is done online or by phone. There are a million telecommuters in the UK, about 10 percent of the workforce.

25、“Face it， Andy. You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo’s.” That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world.

Jimmy Choo (Zhou Yangjie) is a native Malaysian of Chinese origin (出身)， born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers. He created his first pair of shoes at age 11. His family couldn’t pay for his schooling， so he dropped out at a young age. He had to work with his father to support the family. But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared， so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower.

Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there. He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988. His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana， Princess of Wales.

Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels (鞋跟) and pointed toes. However， he does some flats and lower-heeled shoes for other women. Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with Tamara Mellon， UK Vogue editor， but left the company in 2001.

Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world， so his designs are_______to those who want a designer shoe， and can afford his prices. Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready-to-wear designs. The brand (牌子) of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands， like Channel， LV， etc. But it’s still young and has a bright future.

We can’t imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others. And so he did. So stop complaining about why good luck isn’t always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now.

d. He had his workshop in London.

e. Jimmy Choo Ltd. was set up.

A. c-d-b-a-e   B. c-b-d-e-a

C. d-c-b-e-a   D. c-d-b-e-a

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

B. Choo must be thankful for Vogue magazine.

C. “Jimmy Choo” is a brand with a long history.

D. It’s much harder for a man to succeed in the fashion world.

26、   Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment（惩罚）, too.

On the first day of a new term, 128 students were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether l, 200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had seen.

At Morton High School, students' favorite clothing such as baggy（宽大）trousers, low-necked and tank tops（紧身短背心）are not allowed in classroom. Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear, but the headmaster doesn't think so. "I'm supportive if half the students were sent home because 99% will get the message that our school are for education." "Freedom" doesn't mean "free of restrictions（约束）".That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the U.S.A or in China.

A. American students are very free at school

27、

When my daughter was in primary school, one day she brought home 4 tiny trees, which were given to the students by the school to plant. None of them looked very strong but with a hope for the future.

I planted them in our backyard. Over the years an accident brought an end to three of them. All that was left was a weak tree. It grew very slowly and never got very tall. I noticed a few years ago that it was starting to die. The needles on the branches had turned brown. Only the top third of the tree was still green.

Last summer I did my best to save it but it was useless. This morning I went out and looked at it again. I was deciding on whether it would be better to just cut it down.

As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the needles. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the top branches.

I smiled when I looked at it and decided that maybe this old tree had some life and usefulness left in it yet. It may not be healthy or pretty but it was still giving a bird a home and oxygen (氧气) to this world.

This tree reminded me of something too. All of our lives have purpose. All of our lives have meaning. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath there are things for us to do, love for us to give, and joy for us to share. Until our last moment here we can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.

【1】None of the tiny trees looked ______.

A.short B.tall C.weak D.strong

【2】A few years later, ______ of the trees still grew slowly in the backyard.

A.one B.two C.three D.four

【3】The writer did not cut down the tree because ______.

A.it was still a young tree B.it was giving a bird home

C.it was growing very well D.it was an old and big tree
