Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售業(yè)) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.
He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.
Walton's management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.
After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don't win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (認(rèn)股權(quán)) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (實(shí)現(xiàn)) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.
By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Walton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.
【小題1】 Sam Walton first made a hit in retailing when __________.

A．he worked in his father’s store
B．he created Walton's management style
C．a(chǎn) chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America
D．he specialized in name brands at low prices
【小題2】What is the purpose of Walton’s carrying out “profit sharing plan”?
A．To make sure all the employees had their own shares.
B．To encourage the employees to work hard and make joint efforts.
C．To select excellent employees for his stores.
D．To make more profit for himself.
【小題3】Which of the statements is TRUE?
A．With Walton’s management style, employees treated the stores as their own.
B．Walton wasn’t one of the merchants who first implemented stock options.
C．The smaller and traditional stores were well affected by Walton’s stores.
D．In his old age, Walton gave all the management to his men.
【小題4】What does the underlined word “edge” in the last paragraph mean here?
A．Danger.B．Disadvantage.C．Advantage.D．System.

Mr. Hungerton, her father, really was absolutely centered upon his own silly self. If anything could have driven me from Gladys, it would have been the thought of such a father-in-law. I am convinced that he really believed in his heart that I came round to the Chestnuts three days a week for the pleasure of his company, and very especially to hear his views upon bimetallism (金銀雙幣制).
For an hour or more that evening I listened to his tiring talk about bad money driving out good, and the true standards of exchange.
“Suppose,” he cried, “that all the debts in the world were called up at once, and immediate payment insisted upon,　what under our present conditions would happen then?”
I gave the self-evident answer that I should be a ruined man, upon which he jumped from his chair, scolding me for my thoughtless quickness, which made it impossible for him to discuss any reasonable subject in my presence.
At last I was alone with Gladys, and the moment of Fate had come! She sat with that proud, slim figure of hers outlined against the red curtain. How beautiful she was! Gladys was full of every womanly quality.
I was about to break the long and uneasy silence, when two critical, dark eyes looked round at me, and the proud head was shaken disapprovingly. “I have a feeling that you are going to propose(求婚), Ned. I do wish you wouldn’t; for things are so much nicer as they are.”
I drew my chair a little nearer. “Now, how did you know that I was going to propose?” I asked in wonder.
“Don’t women always know? Do you suppose any woman in the world was ever taken unawares? But．．．oh, Ned, our friendship has been so good and so pleasant! What a pity to spoil it! Don’t you feel how splendid it is that a young man and a young woman should be able to talk face to face as we have talked?”
She had sprung from her chair, as she saw signs that I proposed to announce some of my wants. “You’ve spoiled everything, Ned,” she said. “It’s all so beautiful and natural until this kind of thing comes in! It is such a pity! Why can't you control yourself?”
“But why can’t you love me, Gladys? Is it my appearance, or what?”
“No, it isn’t that.”
“My character?”
She nodded severely.
“What can I do to mend it?”
She looked at me with a wondering distrust which was much more to my mind than her whole-hearted confidence.
“Now tell me what’s wrong with me?”
“I’m in love with somebody else,” said she.
It was my turn to jump out of my chair.
“It’s nobody in particular,” she explained, laughing at the expression of my face: “only an ideal. I’ve never met the kind of man I mean.”
“Tell me about him. What does he look like?”
“Oh, he might look very much like you.”
“How dear of you to say that! Well, what is it that he does that I don’t do? I’ll have a try at it, Gladys, if you will only give me an idea what would please you.”
“Well, it is never a man that I should love, but always the glories he had won; for they would be reflected upon me. Think of Richard Burton! When I read his wife’s life with him I could so understand her love! And Lady Stanley! Did you ever read the wonderful last chapter of that book about her husband? These are the sort of men that a woman could adore with all her soul, and yet be the greater, not the less, on account of her love, honored by all the world as the inspirer of noble deeds.”
“And if I do——”
Her dear hand rested upon my lips. “Not another word, Sir! You should have been at the office for evening duty half an hour ago; only I hadn’t the heart to remind you. Some day, perhaps, when you have won your place in the world, we shall talk it over again.”
【小題1】Why did the writer often come round to the Chestnuts?

A．To hear Mr. Hungerton’s views upon bimetallism.
B．To find the opportunity of staying with Gladys.
C．To learn Mr. Hungertong’s standards of exchange.
D．To discuss the present economy with Gladys
【小題2】What can we infer from the passage?
A．It took great patience and courage for the writer to propose to Gladys.
B．Mr. Hungerton tried to stop the writer from proposing to his daughter.
C．It was difficult for Gladys to choose an ideal husband from her friends.
D．It was impossible for the writer to have any chance to marry Gladys.
【小題3】Which of the following words can best describe Gladys?
A．Careful, choosy and stubborn.
B．Unfriendly, cold and self-centered.
C．Lovely, confident, and idealistic.
D．Simple-minded, active and attractive

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well，whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon，and it's their job to help stranded (擱淺) motorists，isn't it?

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
【小題1】Many scholars are making efforts to _____.

A．promote global languages
B．rescue the disappearing languages
C．search for language communities
D．set up languages research organizations.
【小題2】What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Having first records of the languages
B．Writing books on language searching
C．Telling stories about language users
D．Linking with the native speakers
【小題3】What is Turin’s book based on?
A．The cultural statics in India.
B．The documents available at Yale.
C．His language research in Britain.
D．His personal experience in Nepal.
【小題4】Which of the following best describe Turin’s  Work?
A．Write sell and donate.
B．Record,repeat and reward.
C．Collect,protect and reconnect.
D．Design, experiment and report.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.
The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’s branches were drying up.
Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow...He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
And so the vegetables and the tree realized that it was better to help each other than to fight. They should really learn how to live in harmony with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.
【小題1】What is the problem between the tree and the vegetables?

A．They looked down upon each other.
B．They didn’t leave water to each other.
C．They couldn’t stand each other.
D．They didn’t know how to protect themselves.
【小題2】What is the result of the fight between the tree and the vegetables?
A．They grew taller and stronger.
B．They were both drying up.
C．The tree defeated the vegetables.
D．The vegetables defeated the tree.
【小題3】The courgette thought of ways to solve the conflict by        .
A．making peace with the tree B．working together with other vegetables
C．entering the gardening contests D．growing big enough
【小題4】What can we learn from this passage?
A．We ought to live in harmony with others.
B．We ought to save as much water as possible.
C．We ought to learn from each other in some ways.
D．We ought to learn to respect each other.
