I waited twenty minutes—just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 13. I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.

The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The 14that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.

Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.

Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. ―Just a few hours,‖ replied Pablo.

I have a full and busy life.‖ Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.

―Then what?‖ asked Pablo. ―Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,‖replied Martin. ―How long will that take?‖ asked Pablo.

Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.

―And then what‖ asked Pablo.

―Well, that’s the best part,‖ Martin said. ―You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.‖

One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test on basic trigonometry (三角学). Now for a middle school student, there was nothing basic at all about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and went to bed. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, it might as well have been written in Serbian (which I don’t know how to read). I tried my best to work out the hard problems but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test…

―How could you have failed the test? I am certain that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!‖

Naturally I didn’t wa nt that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this might make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I could see smoke rising up from how fast he was writing. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I reasoned that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answer, and got a B on that test. Even though my dad gave me hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, ―a brilliantly written book‖. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a bo ok which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s―Report on Guilty Secrets‖, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caug ht out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to ―impress‖someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

36．How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A．By discussing the book itself.

B．By mentioning a famous name.

C．By looking into his background.

D．By judging his manner of speaking.

37．Which of the following is a ―guilty secret‖ according to the World Book Day report?

A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

B．The author admitted having read 9 books.

C．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

38．By lying about reading, a person hopes to .

A．control the conversation B．appear knowledgeable

C．learn about the book D．make more friends

39．What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?

A．Favourable. B．Uncaring C．Doubtful D．Friendly 40．Which is the best title of the passage?

A．Book Liars B．Dreams from My Father

C．The Big Sellers D．The World Book Day Report

D

Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colourfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their chauffeur(私人司机) driven Rolls Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by a permanent entourage(随从)of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like royalty, pop stars are news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They must be constantly protected from the adoring crowds who idolize them. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are great.

And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly(非常大方地). The great days of Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation(奉承)on an all time scale. By today’s standards, the excesses of Holl ywood do not seem quite so spectacular. A single gramophone(留声机) record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title ―Top of the Pops‖ is fierce, but the rewards are truly huge.

It is only righ t that the stars should be paid in this way. Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars

earn vast sums in foreign currency—often more than large industrial companies—and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库). So who would begrudge them their rewards?

It’ s all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it, he will certainly earn them. That’s the essence of private enterprise.

41．The author develops the passage mainly by .

A．inferring（推论）

B．comparing different ideas

C．giving explanations

D．listing typical examples

42．The underlined word ―begrudge‖ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A．be crazy about

B．be satisfied with

C．be anxious about

D．be jealous of

43．According to the passage, which of the following can match the view of the author?

A．He who laughs last laughs best.

B．Success belongs to the persevering.

C．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

D．If you venture nothing, you will gain nothing.

44．The author holds a(n)attitude towards the high income of pop stars.

A．critical(批评)B．approval(赞同)

C．optimistic(乐观)D．indifferent(漠然)

45．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．People are blind in idolizing stars.

B．The government taxes pop stars very little.

C．There is fierce competition in becoming pop stars.

D．Pop stars’ life is more luxurious than that of royalty.
