One winter morning I bought a copy of the New York World and turned its pages until I got the “Help Wanted Unskilled” section.A small advertisement held my 36 .It read, “Easy job.Good wages.No experience 37 .” It sounded like the job I was 38 .Easy job.Good wages.Those four words 39 now and then in my brain as I was traveling to the address indicated in the 40 .Easy job.Good wages.Easy job.Good wages.Easy ... When I got to the place I saw a series of large 41 half filled with water, out of which I noticed 42 the necks of many bottles of various sizes and shapes. 43 these basins there were a number of workers sitting on small wooden benches.All had their 44 in the water of the basin, the left hand holding a 45 and the thumb nail of the right hand scratching(刮;擦) the labels on 46 . I sat down on a 47 beside one of the basins and started to work on one bottle.As the minutes went by I noticed that the 48 of the water started to 49 from my hand to my body.But 50 still, the delicate thumb of my right hand was 51 by the minute into a full blown tomato colored finger.A numb(麻木的)pain began to be felt 52 from my right thumb.Then I began to feel as if the pain was coming from a finger bigger than all my body. After three hours of this I told the manager I’d 53 .He figured I had 54 69 cents at 23 cents an hour.With the money, I left the working place.“Easy job.Good wages.” came to my brain again.Looking at my hands, I 55 myself, “Can easy job get good wages?”

AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut(初次登台). Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle.Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s profile. Earphones These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s.They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in,cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears. Martian language They have created their own code-like online language.It’s a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand.This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers. Self-Portrait Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation.A little bit of narcissism (自恋) never hurts anyone.It helps them reflect a little on their own lives.But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online. Text-messaging They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak.This is a generation that respects efficiency.However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style. 1.Who are the intended readers of the passage?
2.According to the passage , if you belong to the Gen-90s , you will ____________ .
3.According to the text, the writer will choose ______ as a good example to the Gen-90.

It was a beautiful day at the beach—blue sky, gentle wind, calm sea.I knew these things because a man sitting five feet from me was shouting them into his mobile phone, like a play-by-play announcer (实况解说员). “IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY,” he shouted.“THE SKY IS BLUE, AND THERE’S A GENTLE WIND, AND THE WATER IS CALM, AND…” Behind me, a woman, her mobile phone pressed to her ear was walking back and forth. “She DIDN’T,” she was saying.“No.She DIDN’T.She DID? Really? Are you SERIOUS? She did NOT.She DID? No she…” And so on.This woman had two children, who were playing in the sea.I found myself watching them, because the woman surely was not.A huge squid could have caught and snatched the children, and this woman would not have noticed.Or, if she had noticed, she’d have said, “Listen.I have to go, because a huge squid just……No! She didn’t ! She DID? No! She……” And next to me, the play-by-play man would have said: “…AND A HUGE SQUID JUST ATE TWO CHILDREN, AND I’M GETTING A LITTLE SUNBURNED, AND …” It used to be that the major trouble at the beach was the fellow who brought a boom box (便携式录音机) and turned it up so loud that the bass notes caused seagulls to explode.But at least you knew where these fellows were; you never know which beachgoers have mobile phones.You’ll settle next to what appears to be a sleeping sunbather, or even (you hope) a corpse , and you’ll lie happily on your towel, and you’ll get all the way to the second sentence of your 467-page book before you fall asleep to the hypnotic surge of the surf (催人入梦的潮声), and … BREEP! BREEP! The corpse sits up, feels urgently for its mobile phone, and shouts “Hello! I’m at the beach! Yes! It’s nice! Very peaceful! What? She did? No, she didn’t! She DID? No, she…” Loud mobile-phoners never seem to get urgent calls.Just once, I’d like to hear one of them say, “Hello? Yes, this is Dr.Johnson.Oh, Dr.Smith.You’ve opened the abdominal cavity (腹腔)? Good! Now the appendix should be right under the … What? No, that’s the liver.Don’t take THAT out, ha ha! Oh, you did? My God! OK, now listen carefully…” 1.From the passage we can know that the writer of the passage _____.
2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
3.The underlined word“ corpse”in this passage has the closest meaning to________.
4.In the past the fellow who brought a boom box_________.

阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上。 “No man is an island”is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago.Even now people still agree with him.No one can live a completely isolated life.Without other people, life became empty and sad.We all need to have friends. For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move.It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have. There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous.This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller.It was later put into 28 languages. Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book: (1)Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile.Begin with “excuse me ” or “would you please” when .Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can. (2)Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people.Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better. (3)Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name. (4)Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them. (5)Listen patiently.When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary. 1.What is the best title of this passage?(Please answer within 5 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 2.Please fill in the blank with proper words.(Please answer within 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 3.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
