After working long hours on her feet everyday in the operating room, Taryn Rose' knew a lot about foot pain. But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money: Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International,

a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes.

三、完形填空（共15小题;每题2分，共30分。）

四、阅读理解（共15小题;每题3分，共45分。）

At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of failure. "I could hear my friends and family saying, 'Why did you leave a good job?' If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And: t thought, 'So what?

I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that the fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success"

Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from what I was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.'

Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skills and all your senses working 'to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it."

( ) 38. What did her former professor think about Rose and her new job?

A. She doesn't have to meet many people in her office.

B. Her new work is quite different from her old job.

C. She can now serve more people than before.

Last fall was a first-of-its-kind season. I did not arrange (安排) any after-school classes for my children. No swimming. No music lessons. No play dates. Nothing.

Once they finished their homework, they were free to do what they pleased, but only one hour of TV. In the beginning, my sons, Ben, 11, and Nick, 9, were anxious about this sudden, unplanned freedom. I had to, push them out of the door with a ball, a bike, and so on. "Play!” I ordered.

I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that having excellent grades isn't really important.

When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules of modern parenting. They are unspoken, but followed carefully. First, you must let your child have a variety of activities. After all, you never know where you'll find a genius (天才). Second, if the child shows the slightest talent (才能), the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching (辅导) and practice of several days a week. Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose. That was really too much for my children.

Now with the new plan, we told stories, we listened to music. And the kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy. Nobody kept score. In fact, the boy

played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places. They've made friends with those who come from all over the neighborhood to play games. We like those peaceful evenings. Ben and Nick have a good time this fall, may be that's because the time off has allowed us to enjoy each other's company.

( ) 40. What was new for the family last fall?

A. The children began to learn music when school was over.

B. The writer arranged no' extra lessons for the children.

C. The writer found no time to play with the sons.

D. The children had nothing to do alter school

( ) 41. At the beginning of that season the children

A. hated to spend more time on their homework

B. felt excited about making their own decisions

C. were pleased to have more freedom

D; were worried about the change

( ) 42. According to “modern parenting" discussed in Paragraph 4, parents should

A. make use of every minute to be with the children

B. provide coaching and practice for each, activity.

C. try ex, cry means to find a child's real talent

D. know the rules but never talk about them

( ) 43. From the passage we learn that

A. children like story’ telling more than bike-riding

B. parents should teach their children how to make a plan

C. children should have time to enjoy themselves after school

D. parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with other

C The cowboy is the hero of many movies. He is，even today，a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?

The cowboy‘s job is clear from the word “cowboy”。Cowboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.

The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much， each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.

The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive，the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a make on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn’t stop rustlers，or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.

Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous，cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid bally. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.
