I had just turned 30 years old，and Id been married for a yearI told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont and I wasnt sure what to expectMacKenzie told me I should go for itAs a young boy，Id been a garage inventorId always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admiredI went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the InternetHe took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job”That 1ogic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decisionSeen in that light,it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shotI didnt think Id regret trying and failingAnd I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration ，I took the less safe path to follow my passion ，and Im proud of that choiceFor all of us，in the end，we are our choice 21What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?AHis dream of being an inventor BThe support of his wife CThe greatly increasing usage of the InternetDMillions of exciting titles,22Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?AThe idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb himBHe would be very excited if he tried it out CHe would be always having a doubt if he didnt tryDThe decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him23Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ACleverness and Kindness BThe Starting of Amazon CFollowing My Passion DWe Are What We Choose BTens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of Frances most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they cant take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors cant see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumleys idea isnt ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesnt seem to be possible to get the government support.”In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You cant say the plan cant go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we dont take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”24Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain_. A. do not believe the drawings are old. B. believe they are allowed to paint there C. think the drawings should be left alone D. think the drawings will not disappear25According to Jean Clottes, some of the visitors to the area have_. A. helped to clean the drawings B. taken bits of the rock home C. been unable to take photographs D. misunderstood what the pictures mean26Henry de Lumley is eager to _.A. set up research projects B. protect public rightsC. keep out individual visitors D. ban traffic in the area27This passage has been written about Mont Bego to _.A. advertise the closing of the site B. warn visitors about the dangers of the siteC. encourage scientists to visit the site D. describe fears for the future of the siteCDear Customers,I feel quite pleased to announce Amazon Prime, our latest membership program, which provides “all-you-can-eat” express shipping.
