He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said. “You don’t have any luggage, right?”“Only this backpack,”Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”“Thanks.”Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!1.Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?A.Because they were the uniform for air couriers.B.Because that made him easier to be recognized.C.Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.D.Because he did not have any luggage with him.2.An air courier is a person who_____________.A.manages a business company in foreign countriesanizes international flights for tourists.C.travels around the world with cheap tickets.D.Delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.3.Business choose the air-courier service because__________A.it costs lessB.it is flexibleC.it saves timeD.it grows fast4. One of the disadvantages of travelling as an air courier is that he_____________A. cannot decide when and where to travelB. cannot take any luggage with himC. has to wear two pairs of jeansD. saves little money from the travel5. The author of the text mainly__________A. describes the activities of a law-breakerB. suggests an ideal way to travelC. argues against the air-courier travelD. tells us about a developing businessBImagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607 , found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas(1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.Smith was captured by members of Pocahontas’s tribe and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith( who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in.During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape.Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe.She spent the last year of her life in London.Pocahontas has become an American legend. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.6. What difficulties might early European settlers meet in America EXCEPT____________A. the fierce conflict with Native Americans.B. bad-tempered natives who enjoyed killingC. unfamiliarity with a foreign landD. lack of food in winter7. Pocahontas saved John Smith twice because_________________A. he was the first white man she had ever seen in her lifeB. she wanted to become a Christian and marry an EnglishmanC. she believed in general kindness even to people of a different raceD. she was on the settlers’ side and against her cruel father8.Which is NOT an element to make Pocahontas a legend?A. Her tribal background and her marriage to a white settler.B. Her selfless help to people regarded as enemy of her tribe.C. Her complicated life story different from common people’s.D. The recreation of her life story in the 1995 Disney film.9.According to the text, Europeans think Pocahontas__________A. was brave to break away from her own tribeB. set a good example for other natives to accept the later settlers.C. was a selfless Christian who can love her enemyD. was open to a more advanced culture.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. The battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.B. The Europeans think the early settlers should have learned to adjust to the local cultures.C. The creation of America is based on the settlers’ victory over the Native America.D. People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other.C“Congratulationgs, Mr Jones, it’s a girl.”Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time.For other couples, pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate father in this resocialization process. Although a good many books have been written about American mothers, only recently there have been some books discussed the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition(变换，转化) to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and adaptation to a new life, on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.11. According to the author, being a father_______________A. brings a feeling of excitement to some menB. have a different meaning for those who have daughters.C. makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD. means nothing but more responsibilities12. It is stated in the passage that_______________A. some parents are not prepared to have a child.B. young couples do not like children at allC. working couples do not have much time to take care of their childrenD. many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child13. In the third paragraph, the author___________A. gives expression to his discontent with some fathers for not taking enough responsibilities inbringing up their childrenB. excuses the American writers for taking no notice of the difficulties of being a fatherC. supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the familyD. expresses dissatisfaction with the lack of social advice to help husband to be good fathers.14. The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife_______________A. change her life style in a highly innovative wayB. make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situationC. stay at home to take care of the babyD. help her husband in his resocialization process15.Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared withmothers,__________A. have to do more in the householdB. have to make more difficult adaptationsC. have an easy job to doD. can usually do a better jobKeys:1-5 CDCAD 6-10 BCDBA 11-15 CADBC。
