Passage AI had two jobs growing up and they all helped shape my life.When I was about 12, I started caddying (当球童) at a nearby country club. All the kids in the neighborhood did it, and I liked it a lot. I go to watch people who were generally pretty wealthy. They were businessmen and doctors. I would listen to them talking about things and see how they behaved with each other. It was like a fly on the wall at a meeting.The second job was at a shoe store. I constantly met people from all walks of life and the challenge was exciting. I'd start bringing them different kinds of shoes and get right down there and put them on their feet. If they didn't like a certain shoe, I always tried to be thinking ahead to a pair they might like better. It was like stepping up to the plate in a baseball game. Every time someone walked into that store, I was going to bat and taking a swing. I never wanted to let a customer get out of that store without buying a pair of shoes to his satisfaction. This job helped teach me an important business lesson: You have to take risks in business. If you take a risk and fail, get up to bat and swing again.（21）The author thinks what he has learned from his first job is ____________.A. how to learn to like a jobB. how to talk and behave properlyC. how to become wealthyD. how to listen to people（22）The phrase "people from all walks of life" means people ____________.A. walking in different waysB. having different interests in lifeC. coming from different parts of the cityD. working in different occupations（23）The author thinks his second job is ____________.A. challengingB. importantC. differentD. satisfying（24）The author compares his second job to ____________.A. a fly on the wall at a meetingB. stepping into a golf courseC. joining a baseball gameD. taking a bat to swing（25）The business lesson the author gets from selling shoes is ____________.A. thinking ahead of the customersB. trying every possible way to satisfy a customerC. never be afraid of taking risksD. never let go anyone walking into the shopPassage BEvery day, the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers, over 400 million radio sets, and over 150 million television sets. Additional news is shown by motion pictures, in theatres and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are, fewer are still concerned exclusively with the events of their own household. As the English writer John Donne put it, nearly four hundred years ago, "no man is an island." This idea is more appropriate today than it was when Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man belongs to some society; and we are becoming more and more aware that whatever happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life and destiny(命运) of all humanity.Newspapers have been published in the modern world for about four hundred years. Most of the newspapers printed today are read in Europe and North America. However, soon they may be read in all parts of the world, thanks to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper publishing. Electronics and automation(电子和自动化)have made it possible to produce pictures and text far more quickly than before. Therefore, the publishing of newspapers and magazines becomes more economical.Furthermore, photo-copies can be sent over great distances now by means of television channels and satellites such as Telstar. Thus, pictures can be brought to the public more quickly than previously.（26）People learn about what happens in the world through ____________.A. newspapers and magazinesB. radio and television setsC. electronics and automationD.
