B．All of a sudden.C．Now and then. D．First of all.44．From the second paragraph，we can know that________.A．most people who went to this veterinary hospital were very poorB．nobody paid for the small cat’s medicine and examC．the man’s young son didn’t want to keep the small catD．the woman took away the small cat with her at last45．The example of the woman made the author________.A．think helping others can be shown on TVB．believe the woman was once shown on TVC．think few acts of kindness exist in real lifeD．have the courage to help others activelyBSouthwest Florida International Airport has been using dogs to drive birds away from the airport since 1999.The airport is now served by its third generation of border collies ( 边境牧羊犬)，which are part of a birddog training program.About 20 airports around the US now use border collies to scare（使…害怕） birds，especially large birds，which once had many collisions (冲撞) with airplanes at those airports.According to a 2000 report on the use of border collies at six airports，the number of large birds was reduced by 99% after the use of the border collies.Air crashes resulting from collisions with wildlife cause more than $600 million a year in damage and have cost several hundred lives.According to the US Bird Strike Committee,90% of the birds are protected species，but many of the measures that people used in the past to drive the birds away often killed the birds.The border collies are seen as a positive，useful solution for preventing wildlife from getting in the way of aircraft.The border collies that have been trained to drive birds away will keep harassing (攻击) the birds until they leave.A border collie is dogged and he will harass and harass until the birds fly away.He doesn’t kill them.Hejust runs after them，driving them in the direction they should fly.Though birds get used to the sounds or lights used to scare them，they don’t get used to a border collie.He is always viewed as an enemy for them.Early reports suggest that a bird strike caused a plane to crash in the Hudson River near Manhattan today.Perhaps today’s “crash on the Hudson” will encourage more airports to use trained bird dogs to protect their passengers，employees，planes and the surrounding wildlife.Additionally，they would be helping to give homeless dogs jobs they really love to do.46．The first paragraph is written to lead into________.A．a discussion of the use of border collies at airportsB．an introduction to how the airport values air safetyC．an introduction to the characters of border colliesD．some safety measures taken by airports47．According to the passage，many measures that people took before to drive birds away________.A．put the airports into a dangerous situationB．had no effect on the birds’ behaviorC．caused the birds to be in dangerD．cost the airports a lot of money48．The underlined，word “dogged” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________.A．smart B．lovely C．brave D．determined49．Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude to using dogs into airports?A．When in Rome，do as the Romans do.B．A bad beginning makes for a bad ending.C．Kill two birds with one stone.D．Two heads are better than one.50．What c ould be a possible result of the “crash on the Hudson”？A．Measures will be taken to kill birds around the airports.B．The effect of using border collies will be questioned.C．No plane will be allowed to fly across the Hudson River.D．More bird dogs will be trained to work at the airport.CIt was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China. Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.□ProductYour product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodl e shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.□PlaceThere’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?□PriceWork out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!□PromotionHow can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.51. What’s the best title for the passage?A.How to start a business.B.Starting a business soon.C.Starting your own business.D.Preparations for starting a business.52.

The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do youdo it?”Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself,‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choos e to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.” I reflected on what Jerry said. Later, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life.Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body.I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on th e floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?”（意识） I asked. Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. I knew I needed to take action.”“What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big, strong nurse sh outing questions at me,” said Jerry.“She asked if I was allergic (过敏的)to anything. “Yes,” I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.I took a deep breath and yelled, “Bullets!”Over their laughter, I told them. “I am ch oosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.56.
