An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this？" I replied with extreme foolishness," Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare？"
"Nothing."
"How long have you been out of this country？"
"About three months."
"And during that time you have acquired nothing？"
"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.
He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch？"
I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex？"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.
When did the writer arrive at London airport？
A．In the early morning.
B．Late at night.
C．At noon.
D．Late in the morning.

Burn rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
As I was searching for "angel money", I started to bulid a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.
Bill Becket was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I. T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology "guy" in house.
Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.
I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
"I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You'll do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it's satisfying when you build your own company."
Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home？ There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.
For a newly-established business, burn rate refers to______.
A．the salary it pays to its staff
B．the interest it pays to the bank
C．the way in which it raises capital
D．the speed at which it spends money

Fifteen years ago, I entered The Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn't easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime-a-word job. But once you were there, I found, you were in.
Globe jobs were for life--guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there-moving from all ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck with it.
Instead, I had made a decision to leave.
I entered my boss's office. Would he rage？ I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk. "I began awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I'm forty. There's a lot I want to do in life. I'm resigning."
"To another paper？" he asked.
I reached into my coat pocket, but didn't say anything, not trusting myself just then.
I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That we were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. "I'm glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can't," he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world," he concluded. "And if it doesn't work out, remember, your star is always high here."
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody--even though I'd be risking all on all unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.
Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of The Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property.
"I'm resigning, Bill," I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn't looking angry or dismayed either.
After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I were in your shoes."
From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous ______.

In the early 1950s, my father quit his job to start his own company. However, he got a heart attack and was sent to hospital. After three years of therapy, he moved us to New York, where he got a sales job with the English carmaker Jaguar.
One of the job's perks(额外津贴) was the car he was given to drive. It was a two-tone Mark IX, the last of the elegant rounded Jaguars. It looked like it belonged to a movie star.
Every morning my father would drop me off at school in his Jaguar before going to work. Being the son of a blacksmith(铁匠), he was proud of the car and thought I should be proud to be driven to school in it. He loved it very much.
But the car embarrassed me. After the years of illness and debt, we probably didn't have any more money than the mostly working-class kids at school. But we had a Jaguar, so we might as well have been Rockefellers.
The car separated me from others, especially from Danny Kowalski. He was what they called a juvenile delinquent in those days. He was high and had blond hair. It was rumoured he always carried a knife and maybe even a gun.
Every morning Danny would stand silently in the same spot by the school fence and watch me climb out of my two-tone Jaguar. I knew he hated the car and that he hated me, and that one day he would beat me up.
My father died just months later. We lost the car, of course, and soon I'd have to go live with my grandmother. Before then, Mrs. Ritchfield, an elderly neighbour, offered to walk me to school the day after the funeral.
As we arrived that morning, I could see Danny standing at the school fence, same as always. But this time, as I passed him in the company of my elderly neighbour and no elitist English car, I left as if a wall between us came down. Now I was more like Danny, more his friends. We were finally equals.
Relieved, I walked into the schoolyard. And that was morning Danny Kowalski beat me up.
According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true about their car-Jaguar？
A．It was given to his father as an extra payment.
B．It was loved by his father.
C．It made the author really proud.
D．The car was very elegant and fashionable.

Some animals apparently can resist cancer by strengthening their immune system in preparation for winter, Johns Hopkins researchers said on Wednesday.
The scientists said their study is the first to show that the central nervous system, reacting to environmental changes, may spark changes in the body's immune system that control the growth of tumors.
They said if that is the ease, a better understanding of how the process works eventually could lead to new cancer treatments.
Dr. Randy Nelson, an associate professor of psychology at Hopkins, stressed at a meeting of the Society of Neuroscience that further study would be needed to confirm a connection between the length of the day, the animals' immune system and cancer. More work also would be needed to show that the findings could be applied to human cancer.
Dr. Faye Austin, an immunologist with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, said: "It's a very intriguing observation that the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumour. But I think that the draws really need further work to clarify the mechanics."
But Austin said the findings were surprising and important, only because they open up a new approach for research.
Studies showed that stress weakened the immune system in animals. They figured that because winter is stressful, the season probably causes exertion (影响) on the immune system.
The researchers reasoned that animals that compensated by boosting (促进) their immune systems as winter approached would have a better chance of surviving and producing offspring.
"In the same way that animals have evolved to select the best time to breed, it struck me that animals ought to be able to predict when conditions would be challenging immunologically." Nelson said.
Dr. Nelson has drawn a conclusion that ______.
A．the findings of animals' resistance to cancer can be applied to human cancer treatments
B．the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor
C．there is a relation between the length of the day, the animals' immune system and cancer
D．there is a new approach for studying the function of central nervous system in the body's immune system

Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero？
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of Characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high- voltage transformers, hem take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would - be heroes is what or whom do they serve？ What are they willing to live and die for？ If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant？
Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. , we might still have segregated (隔离的)buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ______.
A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristics
B．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C．are often influenced by previous generations
D．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans

One day in my class, Maria shared her feelings about money, "Money worries me. I think I want to live without money because I hate it. I HATE MONEY." We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us. After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems. She hesitated to accept my offer, and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve. I quickly assured her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to. I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt, judgments, or impossible tasks. All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.
Maria still resisted my offer, and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people. "I'll never understand money," she said. "My facts are meaningless." "I don't deserve to have money." "I never have enough." "I have too little to manage." "My financial position isn't worth looking at;" and the most devastating one of all, "I just can't do it."
Going home that day, I couldn't get Maria out of my mind. Her attitude conveyed the same negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people. I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively. My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival. Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well, and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.
On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were. It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power, our spirit.
Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ______.
A．in the same financial trouble
B．in the same finacial condition
C．of the same family background
D．of the same feeling over the issue
