If someone says to you, “give me five”, don't give five yuan to him! It will make others laugh! The person isn't asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the U.S.A, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a good gesture(手勢(shì)). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍打)of each other's right hands together. People do it when something happy happens. For example, if a student does well in exams or gets No. 1 in his school sports meet, he will give high fives to his friends to celebrate.
Who did this gesture first? Why did he do that? It may come from the old Roman (古羅馬的) gesture of raising（舉起）the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm had nothing in his hand and he couldn't hurt the emperor.

The greatest saleswoman in the world today doesn’t mind if you call her a girl. That’s because Markita Andrews has got more than eight thousand dollars selling Girl Scout cookies since she was seven years old.
Going door-to-door after school, the terribly shy Markita changed herself into the cookie-selling dynamo（高手）.
It starts with great wish.
For Markita and her mother, whose husband left them when Markita was eight years old, their dream was to travel the world. “I’ll work hard to make enough money to send you to college,” her mother said one day. “When you leave college, you’ll make enough money to take you and me around the world. Okay?”
So at the age of 13 when Markita read in her Girl Scout magazine that the Scout（童子軍）who sold the most cookies would win a free trip for two around the world, she decided to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could—more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.
Wish, however, alone is not enough. To make her dream come true, Markita knew she needed a plan.
“When you are doing business, wear your Girl Scout clothes when you go up to people in their building, ” her aunt told her. “Always smile, whether they buy something or not and always be nice.”
Lots of other Scouts may have wanted that trip around the world, but only Markita went off in her own uniform each day after school, ready to ask—and keep asking—people to help in her dream.
Markita sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip around the world. Since then, she has sold more than 42,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
Markita is no cleverer than thousands of other people, with dreams of their own. The difference is that many people fail before they even begin. They fear（恐懼）that they will be refused. This fear leads many of us to refuse ourselves and prevents us from getting where we have set off for long before anyone else ever has the chance—no matter what we are selling.
“It takes courage（勇氣）to ask for what you want,” she said. “Courage is not that you don’t have fear. It means doing what it takes although you have a fear of it”.
小題1:From the passage we learn that ________.
A．a(chǎn) good planning is the most important in the job of selling
B．Markita took the free trip around the world herself
C．Markita has a full-time selling job now
D．to do something successfully, we should do what is needed
小題2:Markita ________.
A．started to sell Girl Scout cookies when she was 13 years old
B．has only one parent
C．whose parents are rich, went to college
D．sold cookies in different shops
小題3:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The Greatest Saleswoman in the World.
B．A Successful Girl in Selling.
C．The Secret of Selling.
D．Girl Scout Cookies.
小題4:The main reason for Markita’s success is that ________.
A．she asks for what she wants before she is refused
B．she isn’t afraid to be refused
C．her aunt has told her how to sell things
D．she has a good wish

Thomas Edison was a great American inventor. He was born to a poor family in 1847. His mother taught him at home. He often observed things carefully and he made over 1,300 inventions during his life time. He was often said to be the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He also said that what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work, ” he answered back, “discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
小題1:Edison was______________.
A．interested in changing people’s ideas
B．interested in discovering the secrets of nature
C．very much uninterested in nature
D．uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature
小題2:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
B．Edison has changed the lives of many other people.
C．Only a few men in history can change other people’s lives.
D．Edison invented the electric light.
小題3:The last sentence in the passage most probably implies(意指)___________.
A．people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 year’s work
B．Life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
C．Edison made 100 inventions in his life
D．Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
