He started out washing dishes and todayhe owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India.

Instead, he ended up working for acompany that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的)company, he frequently ate at a nearbyKFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, heworked as a cook’s assistant. His job was to c lean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didn’t likeit,” Mr. Kazi says, “but I always did the best I could.”One day, Mr. Kazi’s two coworkers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of allthree people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few monthslater, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant.

He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of thebuilding, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someonehad to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before longthe restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he eared, he bought threemore restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, andretrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn’t planning to stop there.

They are wrong. Everyone hasimagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn’talways connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free timeroutinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a trickyquestion to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to helpyou.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image,word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated withcandles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The nextstage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy afriend anoriginal present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.Imagine that normal limitatio ns don’t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as youwant. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn toski(滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time andthe money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, orevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use thistechnique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the charactersin their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can’t she get it? Whatchanges must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goalinvolves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!36.According to the passage, when we become adults.A.most of us are no longer creative.B.we are not as imaginative as children.C.we can still learn to be more creative.D.we are unwilling to be creative.37.According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem, ______A.you should link it with candles.B.you have to think of buying a present for a friend.C.you should link it with as many words as possible.D.you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.38.The second technique suggests that you just imagineA.setting a goal is as simple as skiing.B.you have every resource to achieve your goal.C.new possibilities will soon appear.D.December and January are the best months for skiing.39.The phrase “put yourself ‘in their shoes’” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA.dress yourself like them.B.do as they ask you to.C.put on their shoes.D.think as they would.40.We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:A.what are my customers’ needs?B.what do I usually do?C.what did my boss tell me to do?D.how should I sell my products?第三篇 The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate ofdivorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, andthe evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to thebreakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Somefuturists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times ,andextramarital(婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy(阴暗的)? The answer tothe first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. Theinstitution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to beeconomically dependent ontheir husbands as they usua lly didn’t have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so theydon’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic(悲观的)as it seems.While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen verymuch, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply livetogether and don’t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do notappear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriagessurvive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get marriedindicates that it isn’t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than singlepeople: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, andmarried men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts.Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of ourrelationships!41.Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.C.American people marry more than four times.D.More and more people are getting divorced.42.What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Women are not economically dependent any more.B.It is not necessary to get married any more.C.Women do not need a husband any longer.D.Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.43.Why is the outlook of marriage not as hopeless as it appears?A.Many people still like to get married.B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.C.Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist.D.The statistics of divorce is reliable.44.How do most men feel in their marriage life?A.They feel much stronger than before.B.They don’t feel as lonely as before.C.They suffer more than before.D.They feel more satisfied than being single.45.Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.It is important to discover what makes a marriage successful.B.Marriage has long been partly an economic need.C.It is a fact that most people choose to get married.D.Many people went abroad after divorce.第5部分：补全短文(第46～50题，每题2分，共10分)下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章面貌。

第4章阅读理解◆社会生活类Passage1American Marriage and FamilyMore surprising,perhaps,than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving.As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry and we marry at a younger age.Moreover,after a decline in the early1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rate need to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some80percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus marriage remains,by far,the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife’s previous marriages,of the husband’s,or both.Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses(配偶).Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage;marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers, half-brothers,and half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult life married.1.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that______.A.Americans are more traditional than EuropeansB.Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC.there are more married couples in the U.S than in EuropeD.more of Americans,as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age.2.Divorced Americans______.A.will most likely remarryB.prefer the way they liveC.have lost faith in marriageD.are the vast majority of people in the society3.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today’s American families?A.A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.B.Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.C.Americans prefer to have more kids than before.4.“Part-time”children______.A.spend some of their time with their half brothers and some of their time with their half sistersB.spend all of their time with one parent from previous marriageC.are shared between the two former spousesD.cannot stay with“full-time”children5.Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families,______.A.the functions of marriage remain unchangedB.the vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriageC.most Americans prefer a second marriageD.all of the above【参考答案及解析】1.D解析本题问的是作者把美国人叫作婚配的民族指的是什么。
