A
What do you see from a handful of seeds Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportu nity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal Uni versity started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week a go. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
"We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work," said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the compa ny.
Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the lead ers of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management. They also asked some local businessmen to act as their consul tants.
"They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job," said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency, profits knowledge and so on.
"It makes the company more formal," she said.

On June 5, 1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, U.S. announced the presence of a rare, infectious disease in five American homosexuals(同性恋). Soon doctors were finding similar cases all over the country and the world. The AIDS epidemic(流行病)had officially begun. By 1983 it was clear that AIDS had spread around the world. More than twenty years later, AIDS has left twenty-six million dead and another forty million infected. AIDS has become the worst medical disaster ever experienced by mankind.
Hundreds of young people between the ages of 20 and 45 died each week during the early years of the U.S. AIDS. More than 600,000 cases of AIDS have been reported since 1981 in the United States, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 900,000 Americans infected with HIV.
Though the rate of HIV infections continues to increase in the United States, the number of AIDS cases has fallen sharply since 1996, when antiretroviral drugs came onto the market. Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic continues today in Africa and much of Asia, where antiretroviral treatment is not available and health care is far from enough. AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and the No. 1 cause of death due to infectious disease.
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was first separated in 1983 by a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. That discovery made it possible to develop a test for AIDS and trace back to victims who may have died before doctors were aware of the disease.
However, scientists still don't know exactly how and where AIDS started. Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine(疫苗) and be important in mapping the future course of the epidemic.
41. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. antiretroviral drugs will be obtained easily all over the world
B. the best way to stop AIDS is to develop a vaccine
B. scientists will soon find a way to cure AIDS
D. there will be fewer AIDS cases in the world in the future
42. Which areas are the most worrying places where AIDS spreads quickly
A. Africa. B. Asia. C. The United States. D. France.
43. The number of AIDS cases has greatly decreased in the United States due to the fact
A. a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris succeeded in separating HIV
B. some effective medicine has been invented
B. scientists understand AIDS better and better.
D. The rate of HIV infections continue to rise in the United States
44. What's the importance of the discovery of the source of AIDS
A. It can be used to develop a test for AIDS.
B. It can stop HIV forming AIDS.
B. It can reduce the rate of death caused by AIDS.
D. It can help develop a drug to prevent AIDS.
45. When did the name of AIDS come into being
A. In 1983. B. In 1981. C. In 1996. D. In 1994.
C
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
46. The best title of this passage probably is
A. Love your friends B. Live a real life
C. Don't waste time D. Be a good mother and wife
47. How did the author form her view of life
A. By working and social experience. B. Learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience. D. Because of her children and husband.
48. The underlined sentence "It is so easy to exist instead of to live" in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as
A. it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life
B. it is very hard to live a real life
C. it is so easy to make a living
D. it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life
49. What's the author's attitude toward work
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. To earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.

B. the author didn't try her best to work well
C. the author spent all her time caring for her children
D. the author likes traveling very much

After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S. H. E. ’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers' English names.

When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. "We had never met before, and we didn't talk at all at the beginning," recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said, "Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."
"It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing but magical," she said.

Task writing (possible version)
On October 30, S. H. E gave an exciting performance in the Hongkou stadium. The band is planning to perform in Las Vegas, U. S. A and then in Guangzhou on January 15. Later, they are going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival, which will definitely arouse a new round of star-chasing. Wherever they go, their fans turn out to greet them wildly.
However, is it right that the stars should be rewarded in this way Most people, especially educators, have no taste for it. While others, especially teenagers, extremely consider it worthwhile to admire their "stars", whose images are so close to them and easy to imitate.
In my opinion, it is all right for the teens to look up upon their favorite "stars", but going too far is another problem. On one hand, fans may spend more money than they can afford buying their idols’ CDs, or movie tickets, or seeing their concerts. On the other hand, being too crazy about certain "stars" may make the fans concentrate on nothing else but the idols. Therefore, we should hold a proper attitude towards the "stars".
