  While many young celebrities, especially pretty women, are unwilling to talk about their humble origins, Lu Yan is never too shy to talk about her hometown a small village in northern Jiangxi Province.Surrounded by high mountains, silver stone mining is the major source of wealth in the town where she was born in 1981.When she goes home to visit, she has to take a train from the provincial capital Nanchang for more than an hour, then change to a bus for another hour and a half.

  Lu is the eldest of three siblings.“We broke the family planning policy, because village people always want a son,”she said smiling.Lu wears clothes from big-name designers now, but when she was a child she often went several years without new clothes.“I grew tall so fast my mother thought buying new clothes was wasteful,”she said.She had no choice but to wear hand-me-downs from relatives.

  Lu still remembers clearly her first“made to order”clothing.She picked cotton for a whole summer vacation and earned 90 yuan(US$11).She spent 6 yuan(US$0.70)to take a bus to the county where she asked a tailor to make a coat according to a design in a magazine.“At that time, I thought it was a very modern design,”she said.It meant more to her than all the haute couture she owned later.

  When she graduated from middle school, the 16-year-old Lu was 1.78 metres high.She left for Nanchang to study accounting.“My parents thought the major would help me find a job,”she said.She was self-conscious of her height and began walking hunched over.“I always bowed.As I grew up, I started to know that my posture was not good, so I attended a figure-building class,”she said.Little did she know that it would lead her to a bright future.

I am a German by birth and descent. My name is Schmidt. But by education I am quite as much an Englishman as a 'Deutscher', and by affection much more the former. My life has been spent pretty equally between the two countries, and I flatter myself I speak both languages without any foreign accent.

I count England my headquarters now: it is “home” to me. But a few years ago I was resident in Germany, only going over to London now and then on business. I will not mention the town where I lived. It is unnecessary to do so, and in the peculiar experience I am about to relate I think real names of people and places are just as well, or better avoided.

I was connected with a large and important firm of engineers. I had been bred up to the profession, and was credited with a certain amount of “talent”; and I was considered—and, with all modesty, I think I deserved the opinion—steady and reliable, so that I had already attained a fair position in the house, and was looked upon as a “rising man”. But I was still young, and not quite so wise as I thought myself. I came close once to making a great mess of a certain affair. It is this story which I am going to tell.

Our house went in largely for patents—rather too largely, some thought. But the head partner's son was a bit of a genius in his way, and his father was growing old, and let Herr Wilhelm - Moritz we will call the family name—do pretty much as he chose. And on the whole Herr Wilhelm did well. He was cautious, and he had the benefit of the still greater caution and larger experience of Herr Gerhardt, the second partner in the firm.

Patents and the laws which regulate them are strange things to have to do with. No one who has not had personal experience of the complications that arise could believe how far these spread and how involved they become. Great acuteness as well as caution is called for if you would guide your patent bark safely to port—and perhaps more than anything, a power of holding your tongue. I was no chatterbox, nor, when on a mission of importance, did I go about looking as if I were bursting with secrets, which is, in my opinion, almost as dangerous as revealing them. No one, to meet me on the journeys which it often fell to my lot to undertake, would have guessed that I had anything on my mind but an easy-going young fellow's natural interest in his surroundings, though many a time I have stayed awake through a whole night of railway travel if at all doubtful about my fellow-passengers, or not dared to go to sleep in a hotel without a ready-loaded gun by my pillow. For now and then - though not through me - our secrets did ooze out. And if, as has happened, they were secrets connected with Government orders or contracts, there was, or but for the exertion of the greatest energy and tact on the part of my superiors, there would have been, to put it plainly, the devil to pay.

1. The writer preferred to be called ________.

A. a German                         B. an Englishman

C. both a German and an Englishman      D. neither a German nor an Englishman

2.Which of the following words cannot be used to describe the writer?

A. Talented         B. Modest       C. Reliable             D. Wise

3.The head of the company where the writer works is ________.

A. Schmidt          B. Moritz       C. Wilhelm’s father        D. Gerhardt

4. The writer often stayed awake on the train or kept a ready-loaded gun in the hotel, because  ________.

A. some people sometimes let out the secrets of his company

B. the writer occasionally didn’t keep the secrets of his company

C. patents and the laws are strange things to have to do with

D. the secrets were connected with Government orders or contracts

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

A handsome middle­aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Before he ordered,he couldn’t help but notice a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(絲帶) on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.

The man pretended not to notice it,but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye,placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked,“This?”

With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said,“Hey,sorry,man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!”

The middle­aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice,the middle­aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s honor.”

“Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?”

“No, she didn’t. She’s alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby,and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts, and her health.”

“Umm,” the young replied “yeah.”

“And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife” the man continued.

“And she’s okay, too?”the young guy asked.

“Oh, yes. She’s fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us,and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts,and her health.”

“Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?”

“No. It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now...”

Shaken and ashamed,the young guy said, “Oh, I’m so sorry,mister.”

“So, in my daughter’s memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here...”With this,he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “...?”

In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn’t it often the same in schools of our real world?

“It’s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams,” said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school’s sports club and a winner in national English and IT competitions.

But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?

In Sun Yunxiao’s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is “more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read.” Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day.

This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.

“Let’s look at what we ask of our teenage girls,” says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it’s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection.

Today’s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars. “Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect.” Stephen Hinshaw sums up.

1.The passage suggests that              .

A.our society asks far too much of teenage girls

B.teenage girls shouldn’t be so perfect at school

C.boys are always lazy ones rather than girls

D.American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls

2. According to the passage, it is true that              .

A.boys are less smart than girls throughout school life

B.boys usually don’t have so much pressure as girls do

C.girls are all fond of the Chinese education system

D.girls are better at school because boys don’t work hard

3.The underlined word “outperform” means              .

A.hate

B.misunderstand

C.like

D.defeat

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Impossibly Perfect Is Possible.

B.Why Are Girls So Perfect?

C.Perfect? Pressure Every Day!

D.Perfect: Boys or Girls?
