Interview with Allan Gray
1 I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s, and my brother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to set up a language school. I’d always wanted to work for myself, and I was a bit fed up with working for someone else, so I said yes. Primarily, I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions, I wanted room to be creative, and also I wanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if things went wrong. These things are not possible if you work as an employee in a large organization.
2 I had to borrow money to help start the business, but we were lucky because we also had some outside capital to put into the business. These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company, so we were fortune. It was fairly easy to set up the business, because we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do. The problem was, all our preconception(預(yù)想)about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots of mistakes, and we almost went bankrupt(破產(chǎn)的) at the beginning .At one point, we only had two students in the school.
3 Far too long! We lost money for the first four years and, as I was saying, we nearly went out of business. It took quite a long time to start making profit. The best thing we did，through. was that we hired some really good people to work for us. In fact, some of those people are still working for us, 24 years later. Now we’re doing well, but it was very risky at first.
4 One is financial constrain(約束). It can be very tough. I think all small business have cashflow problems—it often takes a long time to get paid by your customers. The second big problem is marketing. It takes a lot of funds to market your business, and you have to get your name known and build a reputation. But the biggest challenge is managing the people. All businesses are about people, and you have to learn how to deal with all kinds of people-and I think we’ve been extremely good at getting the best of our staff.

第一篇 Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.
Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(樹冠)of taller indigenous(土生土長的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly." Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.
31. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.
B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.
C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee.
D. People should buy shade-grown coffee.
32. The function of the word "Traditionally" in Paragraph 2 is to show_____.
A. the positive effects of coffee.
B. a change of coffee growth.
C. something that is the most important.
D. how coffee production used to be.
33.What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?
A. More insects.
B. Better quality coffee.
C. Larger farms.
D. Higher profits.
34. How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?
A. They buy more land from other farmers.
B. They cut down trees.
C. They move to another country.
D. They turn grassland into farmland.
35.The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT_____ full sun
A. insects.
B. air.
C. birds
D. humans
第二篇 Across the Desert
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it's very hot,and at night it's sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.
In 2006，Kevin Lin, Ray Zahab, and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult. They made the decision to run across the Sahara Desert 4,300 miles (6,920 km).It seemed impossible to do, but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves, and this would be a very big test.
On the morning of November, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara. Every morning they began running at 5:00.At 11 a.m. they stopped and rested until 5 p.m. Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles (64 km).Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods, and they ran and ran.
Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip. Most people need about 2,000 calories of food each day. Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed between 6,000 and 9,000 calories every day. That's a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.
The three men had some problems on their trip, and many times they wanted to quit and go home. It was often very hot(140°F/60°C) during the day, and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt. Sometimes it was very windy, and they couldn't see. One time they got lost. But they didn't quit. After 111 days, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert. They hugged each other and put their hands on the water of the Red Sea. Then they ran to a hotel to take a long shower.

第三篇 The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes used to expressing emotion. These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress，but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing their emotions. They're afraid that once they lose control, they'll never get it back," explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe." As Children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."
Almost any emotion-good or bad, happy or sad-can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can't cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry，" says? psychotherapist Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it's best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcover or in the car. That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion." But once you are safely behind closed doors, don't just cry," Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better." And," she adds," once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem."
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.
41, The word ‘film’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. door
B. point
C. coat
D. level
42, Crying is useful in that it_____.
A. helps you not to explode.
B. eases heart attacks.
C. makes others comfortable
D. cleans your eyes.
43, According to Vera Diamond, crying should be___.
A. practiced
B. repressed
C. punished
D. done in public.
44,What are you expected to do in a tense business discussion?
A. Hold back your tears
B. Cry in private
C. release your stress with tears
D. Find out the problems
45. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How to release your stress
B. Ways to repress your emotion in public
C. How to fight tears in a business situation
D. Importance and necessity of crying

Explore Jordan
Wadi Rum is the name given to a valet cut into the sandstone and hard rock in northwest Jordan. (46)_____ The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic word meaning “high” or “elevated”. The area around Wadi Rum is now also one of Jordan’s most important tourist destination, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers (越野者), but also for camel safaris (旅行) or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. In contrast, there are almost no local or Arab tourists, through nearby Disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.
Popular activities in the desert environmental includes camping under the stars, riding Arab horse, and rock-climbing amongst the massive rock formations. Jebal Rum( jebal means ”mountain” ) is 1574 meters above sea level. (47)______
But Jordan is not simply a desert environmental-it also contains the area which is the lowest point to the face of the Earth----the incredible Dead Sea, popular with tourists for swimming. (48)_____ Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are landlocked and have nowhere to go, so whey evaporate, leaving behind a dese, rich cocktail(混合的) of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products. Once again, tourists benefit and can participate in water spa treatments and water therapies.
The Dead Sea is located in the syro-African Rift, a 4000-mile fault line in the Earth’s crust. The lowest point of dry land on Earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1.300 feel below sea level. Because the lake is at the lowest point, this means that water does not drain from it.(49)____ Figures for the Dead Sea’s salinity(鹽度)today range from 25% to 35%.
But the greatest tourist attraction is the incredible city of Petra. (50)_____ It is a vast unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2, 000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. Today, visitors can marvel at the architecture and explore life as it was thousands of years ago.
A. It is the largest wadi( riverbed) in Jordan.
B. It is the second highest peak in Jordan, rising directly above the Rum valley opposite Jebal Um Ishrin.
C. This vast stretch of water receives a number of incoming river, including the River Jordan.
D. The area has been used as a background setting in a number of films.
E. Every day seven million tons of water evaporate from the lake, but the minerals remain causing the salt content to increase.
F. It is without doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure.

第一篇 Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.
Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(樹冠)of taller indigenous(土生土長的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly." Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.

第二篇 Across the Desert
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it's very hot,and at night it's sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.
In 2006，Kevin Lin, Ray Zahab, and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult. They made the decision to run across the Sahara Desert 4,300 miles (6,920 km).It seemed impossible to do, but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves, and this would be a very big test.
On the morning of November, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara. Every morning they began running at 5:00.At 11 a.m. they stopped and rested until 5 p.m. Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles (64 km).Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods, and they ran and ran.
Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip. Most people need about 2,000 calories of food each day. Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed between 6,000 and 9,000 calories every day. That's a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.
The three men had some problems on their trip, and many times they wanted to quit and go home. It was often very hot(140°F/60°C) during the day, and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt. Sometimes it was very windy, and they couldn't see. One time they got lost. But they didn't quit. After 111 days, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert.

第三篇 The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes used to expressing emotion. These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress，but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing their emotions. They're afraid that once they lose control, they'll never get it back," explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe." As Children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."
Almost any emotion-good or bad, happy or sad-can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can't cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry，" says? psychotherapist Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it's best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcover or in the car. That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion." But once you are safely behind closed doors, don't just cry," Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better." And," she adds," once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem."
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.
41, The word ‘film’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. door
B. point
C. coat
D. level
42, Crying is useful in that it_____.
A. helps you not to explode.
B. eases heart attacks.
C. makes others comfortable
D. cleans your eyes.
43, According to Vera Diamond, crying should be___.
A. practiced
B. repressed
C. punished
D. done in public.
44,What are you expected to do in a tense business discussion?
A. Hold back your tears
B. Cry in private
C. release your stress with tears
D. Find out the problems
45. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How to release your stress
B. Ways to repress your emotion in public
C. How to fight tears in a business situation
D. Importance and necessity of crying

Explore Jordan
Wadi Rum is the name given to a valet cut into the sandstone and hard rock in northwest Jordan. (46)_____ The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic word meaning “high” or “elevated”. The area around Wadi Rum is now also one of Jordan’s most important tourist destination, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers (越野者), but also for camel safaris (旅行) or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. In contrast, there are almost no local or Arab tourists, through nearby Disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.
Popular activities in the desert environmental includes camping under the stars, riding Arab horse, and rock-climbing amongst the massive rock formations. Jebal Rum( jebal means ”mountain” ) is 1574 meters above sea level. (47)______

The Dead Sea is located in the syro-African Rift, a 4000-mile fault line in the Earth’s crust. The lowest point of dry land on Earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1.300 feel below sea level. Because the lake is at the lowest point, this means that water does not drain from it.(49)____ Figures for the Dead Sea’s salinity(鹽度)today range from 25% to 35%.
But the greatest tourist attraction is the incredible city of Petra. (50)_____ It is a vast unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2, 000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. Today, visitors can marvel at the architecture and explore life as it was thousands of years ago.
