Several years ago，a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America.One was a very rich banker，another owned one of the largest companies in the world，and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said，“I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company.“Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head，“No.I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House.You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President，there was a telephone call from the President of another country，and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man，“Do you think so？”
“No，I don’t，” he said.“I don’t think that makes the visitor important.That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh，I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang，and the President picked up the receiver，listened and then said，“It’s for you.”

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I can remember a period in my life when I was unemployed and money was running short.A very good friend of mine approached me one day with an offer.“I’m going to have to let this job go and I am wondering if you would like to take it over？”
“That would be great，” I replied.
Game Monday morning，I showed up for work extra early.I was ready to do my best.When I went inside I was informed that I would be buffing(用软皮擦亮) the floors.My friend was there to show me how to operate the buffer.
I grabbed the handles with a “no problem” attitude and gave it some gas.To my surprise，the buffer whipped around in a big circle，running over my friend’s brand new pair of boots，and sending him jumping up on a check-out counter.
Several times，I tried to run it again and failed.“What am I going to do？” I thought to myself.“I finally found a job and I can’t do it.Am I going to have to tell them I have to quit？”
After several rough days of buffing，I finally made up my mind that I was going to do this.For about a week，I struggled with the buffer，putting all my weight and strength into it.Eventually，I learned the trick was not to struggle with it at all，just to go with the flow of it，and by the second week，I was showing off and running it with one hand.
Michael Jordan said，“Obstacles(障碍) don’t have to stop you.If you run into a wall，don’turn around and give up.Figure out how to climb it，go through it，or work around it.”
56．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Not Giving Up

A．he liked the challenging job
B．it was really a well-paid job
C．he was in financial difficulty
D．it was really a easy job to do
58．The first time the author tried the buffer，he ______.
A．found it fun to operate
B．almost lost control of it
C．could make it run smoothly
D．hurt his friend
59．What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A．To make us laugh.
B．To give us encouragement.
C．To recall his past experience.
D．To tell us how to operate a buffer.
B
Many American youngsters earn their own allowance(零花钱) by doing temporary jobs for their neighbors.Babysitting is one of the common of these jobs.Most couples do not have maids or relatives living with them，and they need to have someone watch the children if they want to go out.
Another way is by mowing lawn in summer and clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways in winter.Many people mow their own lawns，but often people prefer to give the job to a neighbor’s child.In winter，snow clearing from streets and highways is the government’s responsibility.Homeowners or tenants，however，must clear sidewalks and driveways.Since clearing snow is very tiring，many people prefer to hire teenagers for this job rather than do it themselves.
Besides，many American teenagers usually work two to three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday at the local supermarket.They work as cashiers or stockroom clerks.Or they help customers carry things to their cars.Other favorite jobs are waiting on tables in restaurants or working part-time at stores or gas stations.
By earning their own allowance，teenagers acquire a feeling of independence and a sense of responsibility which prepares them for a productive life in society.
60．How do American youngsters earn their allowance？Which one is NOT one of the ways?
A．By mowing lawn in summer.
B．By clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways in winter.
C．By working two to three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday.
D．By doing some housework for the family.
61．When it comes to clearing snow，what do many people like to do?
A．Hire teenagers for this job rather than do it themselves.
B．They do it themselves.
C．They hire their own children to do so.
D．They don’t clean it at all.
62．What is the advantage of youngsters earning allowance?
A．They acquire a feeling of independence.
B．They acquire a sense of responsibility.
C．The actions prepare them for a productive life in society.
D．All the above.
63．Who will clear the snow on the streets?
A．The inhabitants. B．The neighbors.
C．The government. D．The police.
C
Twelve years ago，a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco，California，visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo.In one area of the rainforest，he watched a bird flying through the trees.The beautiful sight left quite an impression on him.But weeks later，back home，Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been cut down in the area he visited.
That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to their existence.But he did not publish the book.Instead，in 1999，he used his research for the book to create a website.The site is Mongabay.com.His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests.But the subject quickly developed.As a former businessman，he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.
The popularity of Mongabay.com attracted advertisers.Small ads on the site pay for its operations.Mongabay.com has grown and led to other sites.For example，there is a site for children which is called kids.Mongabay.com.Another one，Wild Madangascar.org，is also about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.
To keep his website going，he travels around the world on several major trips each year.His working tools are a laptop computer，cameras and sometimes diving equipment.He often calls on experts for information.For example，he interviewed Alison Jolly，a top experts on lemurs(狐猴)．He interviewed Rodney Jackson，a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.
Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers，students and teachers.In April，Time.com named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment websites in the world.
64．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Rhett Butler and his website.
B．Rainforest on Malaysian Borneo.
C．How Rhett Butler protected rare animals.
D．How Rhett Butler made his website popular.
65．Rhett Butler didn’t publish his book about rainforests because ________.
A．making websites earns more money than writing books
B．he didn’t want to become a writer
C．the book was not about rainforest protection
D．he wanted to use the information to create a website
66．Which of the following is NOT true about the Mongabay.com?
A．It was set up in 1999.
B．It attracted many advertisers.
C．At least two related websites grew from it.
D．Rhett Butler made a lot of money from it.
67．To keep his website going，Rhett Butler ________.

Americans who remember “the good old days” are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country.Immigrants(移民) complain，too.—Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division.Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels，generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.
But I wonder：If American education is so poor，why is it that this is still the country of innovation(创新)?
When I was 12 in Indonesia，I had to memorize the names of all the world’s major cities，from Kabul to Karachi.At the same age，my son，who was brought up by a Californian，thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food.However，unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe，my son had studied creative geography.When he was only 6，he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school，including the streets，the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.
Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas；without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.
Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing：freedom.America，I think，is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak，write and be creative.Our public education certainly is not perfect，but it is a great deal better than any other.I think I have found the answer to my question.
68．We can infer from the passage ________.
A．both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American education
B．the author agrees that American education is worse than education in many other
countries
C．Japanese schools ask their American teachers to teach mathematics at Japanese levels
D．The German friend was displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too easy
69．We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A．experimenting freely with ideas enables children independent and creative
B．the present American educational system is not as good as it used to be
C．Private schools run by Japanese businessmen maintain a higher level than American
public schools
D．Americans are more innovative than other people in the world
70．The best title for this passage is ________.
A．American Education and Education in Foreign Countries
B．Improvement Needed for American Education
C．Freedom to Think—Characteristics of American Education
D．Education and Innovation in America

Dear_Sir，
I_would_like_to_apply_for_the_position_of_a_part-time_waiter，as_was_advertised_in_the_newspaper.I am an eighteen-year-old student studying at senior high school.
As the summer vacation is coming，I hope to get a job to help me to gain some social experience and enrich my life.I’m available during the week so I have enough time for the work.
I once worked as a waiter for three months in a fast-food restaurant in my spare time，so I’m sure the working experience will qualify me for the position.
I’m outgoing，friendly as well as helpful，which I think will help me a lot in dealing with different customers.Besides，I can play the piano and it can surely build up a warmer and more friendly atmosphere.I would be available for an interview at any time and I look forward to your reply.
Yours_faithfully，
Li_Hua
