  For almost three years now, Mary Rodas has been a vice president at a company in New York City. Mary works in a big office, is driven in a car and makes important business decisions.

  But she still has to do her homework every day. That’ s because Mary is a 16 - year - old high school student.

  How did a teenager get to be a vice president? It all started when she was a little girl in Union City, New Jersey. One day, she was watching a worker, Donald Spector, put in new tiles (瓷磚). He laid the tiles in the correct pattern everywhere but behind the kitchen door.

  “Mister,” she said, walking right up to him. “You’re doing it all wrong.”

  “It’s okay, Mary,” Spector said “Nobody will see the tiles behind the door.”

  “But it’s wrong,” Mary insisted. “You have to do it right even if nobody sees it.”

  Spector was impressed she spoke her mind. Mary and Donald became friends that day, and it changed their lives. Donald Spector is an inventor and one of the founders of a company that makes toys. As Mary got a little older, Spector started to show her his ideas for new products. He wanted Mary’ s opinions. And she gave it to him straight.

  Mary has come up with a lot of good ideas for the company. Take, for example, Balzac. This is a cloth ball with a balloon inside it that can be filled with air or water. In 1989, it became one of the hottest toys in the U.S. It was Mary’ s idea to fill a Balzac partly with water so that it would fly crazily (瘋狂地) when you threw it. And it was Mary who thought of putting pennies or rice inside so it would make noise when it bounced (彈起) around. She also told Spector that she didn’t like its color.

  “I was 13 when Donald showed it to me,” Mary says. “It was fun to play with, but I thought the colors were boring. I told him to use neon (氖)colors, and to put them in crazy patterns.”

  When Balzac hit the market, the results blew Spector away. It did so well, now stores are selling a whole bunch of Balzac products.

  Donald Spector knew how much Mary was helping his company. So on Christmas Day in 1989, he gave her a present. He asked her to be the vice president of marketing in his company.

1.Why did Spector ask Mary to be the vice president of his company?

[  ]

A.Because she was a teenager.

B.Because she liked playing with all kinds of toys.

C.Because she had offered him many helpful suggestions.

D.Because she asked for less pay than anyone else.

2.Which question is not answered in the passage?

[  ]

A.How did Mary meet Donald?

B.How much money does Mary earn?

C.What does Mary do at work?

D.What was Balzac?

3.You can infer from the passage that Mary ________.

[  ]

A.is very shy

B.does not go to school

C.is smart

D.doesn’t like any colors

4.Which of the following can be chosen as the best title for the passage?

[  ]

A.You Must Do Everything Right

B.Toys in the United States

C.The Success of Balzac

D.A Young Vice President

閱讀理解。
     Since his first appearance in 1989,Mr Bean has achieved a massive following around the world-he's now
recognised as the most popular British comedy export since Benny Hill-with some people even thinking of
him as a sex symbol. 
                                                              
     His visual humour and elaborate sight gags transcend linguistic frontiers, and have earned comparisons
with the great silent movie star Buster Keaton-although apparently his character was based on the work of
French comic genius JacquesTati. And now he's making a movie: accompanied by his beloved Teddy he's
off to L.A.to cause a whole feature film's worth of mayhem in "Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie".
     It's a funny thing when you think about it. Whenever someone sees the British actor Rowan Atkinson
in a movie, they would immediately say, "Oh look, it's Mr Bean!"There is really no doubt that Rowan Atkinson
is most known for playing Mr Bean, that dumb but likeable character. And that Mr Bean, has starred in a
series of short films, that many have enjoyed very much. 
                                                                  
     Mr Bean is a man, who is most known for his stupidity. He is always wearing a brown jacket, white shirt,
red tie and dark brown trousers. He also carries an adorable little teddy bear who he calls "Teddy". He also
has a penchant (傾向) for driving around in yellow Mini Coopers, and has a huge dislike for blue three-wheeled
cars. He also has a sort of girlfriend called Irma Gobb, although it is not the most steady of relationships.
     What this man does is pretty much what every single human being does, but he does this with the most
bizarre (奇異的) and stupid ways possible. For instance, when he's going to the beach, when he is putting
on his swimmers, he does it without taking off his trousers. Another example is when he is late for a dentist
appointment, he gets dressed while driving in the car. And while he does this, he remains silent. But when he
does talk, which isn't often, it's usually with a very deep and croaky (哇哇叫的) voice, and speaks gibberish
(快速而不清楚的言語) as well.
     This is what makes Mr Bean so likeable to watch. The humor in this show is absolutely brilliant. There
are so many memorable moments in this show, such as getting rid of a revolting (令人厭惡的) meal in a
restaurant by hiding it in many things, and role-playing the various roles of Joseph, Mary and Jesus at
Christmas. It's a real shame that there weren't a lot of episodes. There should have been more!
     But overall, whether you think of Mr Bean as a comedy genius or just a stupid idiot, there's no doubt that
he has done a lot for comedy, and is one of the most recognizable characters in television.
【個性思考】 What do you think of Mr Bean?
