in the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. it was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. in those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. young men ,or &stewards& helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers& luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. but then in 1930,a woman called ellen church invented the &stewardess&.
ellen church was born in 1904 on a farm in iowa. she was a different child. she didn&t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer &she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. ellen studie d to be a nurse at the university of minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. for the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot&s license.
ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with boeing air transport. she loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man&s world. although women like emelia earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .but she had another idea. most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unr eliable(不可靠的) way to travel. there were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and b.a.t. agreed.
the young woman from iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.
at first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. in 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. the early &stewardesses& had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. when a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. it was hard job and not well paid. they worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.
in the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. since the 1970s, &stewardesses& have been called flight attendants. they are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.
(&&& )the last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.
a. the word &stewardess& was ma de up by ellen church
b. ellen church was the first woman who flew a plane
c. ellen church was the first woman who worked on a plane
d. ellen church was the first woman passenger on a plane
(&&& )from the second paragraph, we learn that ________.
a. ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls
b. ellen&s family was not rich enough to support her education
c. ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital
d. ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely
(&&& )the main reason for boeing air transport offering ellen the job was ________.
a. her flying experience&&&&&&&&&&&&&& b. her univer sity education
c. her nursing experience &&&&&&&&&& d. her life attitudes
(&&& )according to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.
a. be a nurse&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& b. be married&&&&&&&& c. be a mother&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& d. be young

&what is success?& mr gruber asked his 6th grade business class. it was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
&success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch tv, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.& one student answered, earning laughs from all the students.
mr gruber smiled, but shook his head. &tom, that is excess(过量). that is not success.&
&how about being able to provide for your family?& a blonde girl named sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
&now we&re getting closer,& mr gruber smiled, &but try thinking about what you need and what you want.&
&getting everything you want.& tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.
mr gruber sighed. & i believe we&ve already talked about excess versus(与&比较) success.&
&getting everything you need, but some of what you want?& james, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
&quite right!& mr gruber clapped. &success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. the more you get that you want, the more successful you are. you do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.&
&what does this have to do with business?& tom asked. it seemed if it wasn&t funny, he wasn&t happy.
&well, tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.&
&what if i don&t have a family?& he continued to be difficult.
&then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.&
&he has goldfish to think about!& peter, tom&s friend, shouted out.
&then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.& mr. gruber corrected himself.
tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
&so in the next nine weeks, we&re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.&

imagine the situation. you are driving along a desert or on a mountain. you have no idea where you are. you passed the last house two hours ago. then your car breaks down. it is night and it is cold. you have no mobile phone. what do you do? well, next time take a gps with you. this invention may be able to help you. it is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user&s position(位置). it can find your position to within 20 metres. a gps cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
gps, which means global positioning system, is a small radio receiver. it looks like a mobile phone. you can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. it is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. we also find gps devices in cars, planes, or boats. some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. for example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street .
there are three parts to the global positioning system. the first part is the receiver. you can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. the second part is a group of satellites orbiting the earth. the receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. the third part of the system is a network of ground stations. they are all over the world. they control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
some people think that in the future the gps will be as common as the mobile. they are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). there are also new uses for the gps. perhaps they will become like watches. everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
according to the passage, with the help of the gps, people __________.
can&t be lost in a new city
can&t find their way in different countries
can learn about the culture of an unknown place
can spend the least time getting to another place
we can learn from the passage that ____________.
there are three parts to the gps
a gps can&t be put into a watch
a gps can help you start your car
the gps are becoming more and more expensive
the underlined word &they& in paragraph 3 means &____________&.
a. receivers&&&&&&& b. gps devices&&&&&&& c. satellites&&&&&& d. ground stations
the passage is mainly about _______________.
a. the history of the gps&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& b. the introduction of the gps
c. the shape of the gps&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&d. the three parts of the gps
&what can we infer(推断) from the passage?
all gps devices have electronic maps.
people in many countries will use the gps for free.
the receiver of the gps contacts at least five of the satellites.
the gps will become more and more common in everyday life.

students these days often have a lot of worries. sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. &&▲& &some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. laura mills, a teenager from washington, agrees. &problems and worries are normal in life,& says laura. &but i think talking to someone helps a lot. if we don&t talk to someone, we&ll certainly feel worse.&
laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. she was afraid to tell her parents shout it. she even walked three miles to school each day because she didn&t have any money. she just kept thinking. &if i tell my parents, they&ll be angry!& but in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. they got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. &i will always remember to share my problems in the future!& laura says.
robert hunt advises students about common problems. he feels the same way as laura. &it is best not to avoid our problems. we should always try to solve (解决) them.& he thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. this person doesn&t need to be an expert (专家) like himself. students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
in english, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. so you&re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
49. which of the following can be put in the blank in paragraph one?
a. what can they do about this?

&&&& last month when i was taking part in a us college interview ， i was asked ， & what makes you special ? & in fact i had answered questions likes this many times since i decided to go to college in the us .college paid special attention to different achievement . for example , a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player .
&&&& this experience made me think again that i must try to find where my own interests might lead me . to be honest , it was not easy . however , i never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself . if i took the college entrance examination ,as we call it gaokao in china , it could never possibly do .
&&&& when i entered high school , i took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons . however ,as i grew older , i realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons , but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life , like guitar―playing . although i had no time for it , i will still get to it in the future .
&&&& no doubt , gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies . but it is really important for all of us to rethink what & talent & really is today . this is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( 品质 ）are needed for success , not just the high grade .
&&&& ken robinson once said , & the society depends on different kinds of talents . && however , gaokao pays too attention& to a person' s grades but little to his other qualities. and it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun .

do you ever find yourself getting really unhappy for almost no reason? or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? going from sadness to anger to joy in a matter of minutes can make many teens feel as though they're losing control. but why is the feeling so common among teens?
maybe you're starting a new school and not able to see old friends as much. getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports or other activities can be a concern (关注)for many teens.
being accepted by friends is important.&teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and family. you may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem a bit lonely at times.
another important cause for mood swings is biology. when puberty（青春期）begins, the body starts producing hormones（荷尔蒙）. these hormones cause physical changes in the body. but in some people, they also seem to cause emotional(情绪的)changes.
here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to deal with.
recognize you're not alone. although not every teen experiences mood changes to the same degree, they are common.
talk to people you trust. friends can help each other by realizing that they're not alone in their feelings. talking to parents is important, too. parents can share their own experiences dealing with bad moods. teachers are often good resources and a doctor can help to answer questions about development.
get enough sleep.though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. being tired can lead to more sadness.
create. taking part in some kinds of activities, like building something out of wood, or starting an art or music piece. writing can help you organize and express your thoughts and feelings. get your thoughts on paper. do the same thing with paint, music, or other art forms. put your feelings into your artwork.
