But fifty years ago, in his small town, he couldn’t find enough players for two full teams or an empty lot big enough for a field. And when he played ball in his back yard, he just broke windows and got into trouble. So Davey began playing with a plastic golf ball and a broom handle for a bat.When his dad, David Mullaney, a former semi-pro baseball pitcher(投手), realized his son was hurting his arm trying to throw curves with the little plastic ball, he decided to find a better solution. Mullaney got a bunch of hollow plastic spheres from a local factory, sat down at his kitchen table and began cutting different size holes in the balls with a razor knife. He thought maybe the holes would alter the ball’s flight and help his son throw curves and sliders without hurting his arm.All the balls failed —except the one with the eight oblong(长椭圆形的) holes cut into one of the hemispheres. This ball curved naturally and sharply without a violent snap of the wrist. In fact, Davey was now striking out so many batters; he called his new ball a “wiffle ball”. A year试卷第2页，共12页later, Mullaney borrowed $20,000 from family and friends and started producing Wiffle Balls in his little suburban town of Shelton, Connecticut.“I didn’t want investors.” He said, “I wanted to control my own company.” This was the beginning of one of the hottest fads(时尚) of the fifties and a perennial(长久的) best seller well known all around the world. Since then millions of boys and girls have enjoyed countless hours of safe, wholesome fun playing with a Wiffle ball and bat. Esquire Magazine has even called the Wiffle Ball “a national treasure”. By producing a high quality product at an affordable price, three generations of Mullany’s have enjoyed the satisfaction and benefits of running a successful and profitable family business.Over the years, they’ve had plenty of offers to buy them out, but they’re still working out of a small factory in Shelton, making a new Wiffle Ball every couple of seconds. Creativity and persistence are two of the important sources for wealth. If he gave up his attempts at trying new things, Mullany would not have invented the wiffle ball, nor would he have made such a big fortune.1、From the passage we can know that .A ．Mullaney made the invention of Wiffle ball with the help of his sonB ．fifty years ago people didn’t like playing baseball very muchC ．Mullaney’s attempts to help Davey better enjoy ball -playing led to the invention of Wiffle ballD ．playing balls would hurt one’s arm before the Wiffle ball’s appearance 2、All the following are true EXCEPT .A ．Davey was a good ballplayer after the Wiffle ball came into existenceB ．David Mullaney wanted to run the family business on his ownC ．Mullaney’s family made a big fortune through the production of Wiffle ballsD ．Mullaney’s business was nearly bought out but they worked hard to keep it 3、The underlined word “spheres” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to . A ．balls B ．bottles C ．bags D ．boxes4、The two important factors for Mullaney’s successful family business are . A ．time and fortune B ．persistence and creativity C ．quality and fame D ．cooperation and efforts5、The passage mainly tells us something about .A ．Davey, a famous baseball playerB ．a popular ball game in the1950’sC．the birth of Wiffle ball D．the success of a familybusinessAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit(押金)required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement.“This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas,” says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group(EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang’s student clients(客户)could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago.“According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my pare nts,” Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans.“ I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China,” she says.Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad,according to the report by EIC.试卷第4页，共12页6、What’s the main idea of the passage?A ．Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.B ．Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.C ．Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.D ．More students will work in Australia after their graduation. 7、Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?A ．The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.B ．The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.C ．Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.D ．After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia. 8、After the new regulations are passed, ________.

They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart.The students meet in each group of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with a director every two weeks.The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said, “People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative atti tude to a positive one.” Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.“The main idea is to give you guidances on how to look at all kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.Hart said, “I believe forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people want to get free of the past.”16、From this passage we know that ________.A ．without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood pressure and heart diseaseB ．people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemiesC ．high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professorsD ．high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate 17、If you are angry with somebody, you should ________.

Maybe you though t that they were just happy．After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy．Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time ju st because they are happy．However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason．Their sin ging is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territ oryDo you know what a“territory”is?

He’d nee d a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a pas sing(短暂的) thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even re member the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confu cius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners mu st cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of .In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, t he Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually inclu ded Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should ta ke advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the , at the s ame time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the . Busines smen who hope to make money in are reading books about Co nfucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today attracts the West more than ever, and it will need mor e teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the W est.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people i n the West, even if his birthday is.48.
