【題目】 The story I would like to tell happened about a year ago. I accepted a position in a company. John, who I knew, told me much about the job and took my curriculum vitae (簡歷) to his manager. I did not see him as a friend because at the time we did not take part in activities together outside of work, nor did our wives.

The first week was fine. Nothing was clearly strange with John at first until the second week, when our communication began to get a little strange. John began making conversations like "you would have had to pay an employment agency(職業(yè)介紹所)several hundred dollars for a job like this". I soon forgot his words till the next day when he made another similar conversation. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job.

He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He should train me in building our e-mail servers(服務(wù)器). Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just deal it by himself and not stop to say anything like "you might want to remember this. " I was in a bad mood from then on.

By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲慢). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would reply to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it, and then cut in on me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could.

He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way in the future?” I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better slowly. I believed there was hope and finally we would become friends and now we are.

1Why didn’t the author refer to John as a friend at first?

A.They seldom spent free time together.B.They had only met for two weeks.

C.Their wives didn’t know each other.D.They had many disagreements on work.

2What did John most probably mean by saying the underlined sentence?

A.The company he and the author worked in was very good.

B.The writer was wise not to ask an employment agency for help.

C.He had helped the author get a job without a penny.

D.The writer didn’t give him several hundred dollars to express his gratitude.

3Which of the following is TRUE according to the third and fourth paragraphs?

A.John was an experienced and hard-working employee.

B.The writer was very slow in learning new things.

C.John hardly lent an ear to what the writer expressed.

D.The writer slowly got used to his work

4What's the writer's purpose of sharing his story?

【題目】 We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the bodyenergetic. If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.

Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to workfrom morning to late afternoon, so they don't have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers. It is impossible for them to get much exercise in this way.

Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, most of people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is not good in two ways. First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hoursand needs too much attention. It makes a person very tired. So, when these people arrive homeat night, they don't want to take exercise after work.

Today, many people in the West are overweight which causes health problems for them. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don'tsee a difference right away, they will lose confidence and stop exercising.

Title

Westerners need exercise.

The 1 that people can get from exercise.

Help heavy people lose weight.

Keep you energetic.

Help you stay healthy and happy.

The 2 people have in exercising.

Some people at work are too 3 to exercise.

Driving to work is too 4 for them to exercise.

The wrong attitude (態(tài)度) to exercise that some people have.

Some would be 5 if they don't see a difference in a short time.
