But brother and sister, Sarah and Bobby Green, became young millionaires when they opened a chain of American-style coffee shops in the UK.Having the idea: It started when Sarah took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sarah told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they started their own coffee shop. Sarah fell in love with the idea.Doing the Research: Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. “It was terrible, and I knew there was a gap (空缺) in the market.”In 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London.Making it work: The first year was very difficult. British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has ￡30 million a year.Advice for others: Sarah has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It ! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She says, “If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.”1.What kind of company do they run?A．A fast-food restaurant. B．A tea shop.C．A coffee shop. D．A big hotel.2.

Where may this passage come from?A．In a novel. B．In a newspaper.C．In a sports magazine.

In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.1.People with little education usually ____.A．spend a long time in school B．have a good chance to get a jobC．spend the best years to choose jobs D．have fewer chances to get a good job2. The earliest education was probably to ______.A．make a man lead a better life B．teach a man to write and thinkC．make people get a way of living D．teach people to read good books3. The underlined word “well-rounded”in the passage means “_______”in Chinese.A．圆满的B．崭新的C．公平的D．全面的4. It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.A．accept education as a way of livingB．take an interest in the whole worldC．develop their abilities to make playsD．learn subjects like language and math5. The passage mainly tells us that _______.A．education should make a man improveB．people can get education in a short timeC．people should be able to get better paying jobsD．all subjects are so important for a way of living第II卷（非选择题共60分）B.任务型阅读Do you know that a student can produce up to 240 pounds of school waste and lots of waste gas during a term? This includes transportation, food, paper, pens, pencils and so on.TransportationMany parents like driving their kids to school every day. We all know waste gas from cars is a main cause of air pollution. If parents who live in a neighborhood can take turns to drive their kids to school each day, that’ll be better. Another way of going green is to walk to school if students live near it. FoodIt is surprising that only one primary school could produce up to 19,000 pounds of lunch waste each year. That is only one school. One way to help take care of the environment is to stop using plastic bags. There are all kinds of environmental boxes for students to put their food in.Paper, pens and pencilsA lot of paper is thrown away by American students. They throw away about 1.6 billion pens every year. They waste many pens and the chemicals of them are bad for the environment. Much more pencils are thrown away than pens. Pencils are made of trees, so if more pencils are thrown away, more trees will be cut down. So students should reuse paper, pens and pencils instead of throwing them away. BackpacksAs fashion comes and goes, almost every kid needs a new backpack every year. They can save a lot of money and materials（材料）if they reuse the same schoolbags.C.阅读与回答问题（共10分）One day, a poor boy who was selling things door to door found that he only had a cent(美分) left. He was so hungry that he decided to ask for a meal at the next house. However, he just asked for a glass of water when a beautiful young woman opened the door. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe(欠) you?”"You don t owe me anything ,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness. ”Years later the woman needed an operation(手术). The local doctors could do nothing. They finally sent her to a big city. Dr. Milton, who was famous, was called in for the consultation(会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, he went to see her. He recognized(认出) her at once. At the same time, he made his decision to try his best to save her life.After hard work, the operation was successful. Dr. Milton asked the nurse to pass the final bill to him. He wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the patient's room. She was afraid to open it because she thought it would cost all her money.
