A
A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
“You are employed，” he said. “Give me your e mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”
The man replied, “But I don't have a computer, neither an e mail.”
“I'm sorry，” said the HR manager. “If you don't have an e mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job.”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.
The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.
He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his e mail. The man replied, “I don't have an e mail.”
The broker answered curiously, “You don't have an e mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail？” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft！”

Floating markets (水上市场), where goods are sold from boats, are a famous attraction among some Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. They can date back to a time when water transport played an important role in a daily life.
All these countries are located either on islands or on wet lowlands with broad river valleys. In the early days people mainly used boats to travel. Although the countries now have roads collecting all cities and towns, boats are still used for transport and trade by people along the rivers, especially by farmers.
Farmers bring their products in boats to the markets and sell them to local dealers directly from their boats, without setting up shops. That way they can quickly sell their products and return to their home. The local dealers buy the products and sell them to shops in the neighboring towns or to wholesalers (批发商) from big towns. Floating markets are also a big tourist draw.
The most famous floating market, and a tourist attraction, is the one in Damnoen Saduak about 100 km southwest of Bangkok. It is crowded (拥挤的) with hundreds of sellers and buyers floating in their small boats selling and buying agricultural products and local food. The market opens in the early morning and closes about an hour before noon.
In Vietnam, the biggest floating market in the Mekong Delta is Phung Hliep with hundreds of boats. The Cai Be floating market is another well known one in the western part of southern Vietnam.
A less known floating market is in the Dal Lake, in Srinagar, India. It's strictly a vegetable market with all products grown in places along the lake. The market opens in the early morning hours.
7．How did people travel on islands in the early days according to the text
A．By car. B．By bike.
C．On foot. D．By boat.
8．When do the most famous floating markets close
A．In the early morning. B．An hour before noon.

9．What could be the best title of this text
A．Floating markets B．Life on the water

A college student selling Chinese pancake in New York has become Internet hit recently. The pancake stall is owned by a Chinese student surnamed Li, who was born in 1990s. She started to run the pancake stall on Oct. 26 this year. Every day she sells nearly 200 pancakes and gets 1,500 US dollars in return.
Starting up the business is not an easy thing. Li receives parking tickets every day from New York Traffic Department. “Their truck is lovely and the food is delicious. Veggie pancake is sold at 7 dollars each. And you need to pay 2.5 dollars for an extra sausage or ham，” said Xu, who is a college student of the New York University. Since the opening of the pancake stall this October, the business has been good. Sometimes people queue over half an hour for the food. She sells 1,500 US dollars a day. The customers are mainly white collar workers and college students, mostly Chinese students.
Li was born and raised in Beijing. She went to the United States for college. She majored in business and minored in art history. After graduation, she did not like working in the office and came up with the idea of starting up her own business.
“I am familiar with Chinese pancake because I grew up in Beijing. I barely saw Chinese pancake in New York so I thought it may have market，” Li said.PAGE

An activity for donating books
The Students' Union organized an activity for donating books to children in poor mountainous areas in our library on the afternoon of July 1, in order to call on more students to care for the children's life and studies there.
Students were glad to give away some of their books and wrote down encouraging words on the first page of them. In addition, they left their telephone number and address, hoping to be contacted by the children. In the end, more than one thousand books were collected.
The activity doesn't only allow students in our school to show their love for others but also helps them make new friends.
