Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city and so he did When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and said that he wanted to make oneHe read about violin-making, and then became a violin-maker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local pany. He retired from the pany 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments. Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sounded so beautiful. Some experts told him that it was the special varnish (油漆) that gave the instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnishif that was the answer. One of Dads friends asked him which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce (云杉) , his friend said that he had all old piece of spruce which Dad might be interested in. He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be an excellent violin and it would bee Dads masterpiece. He believed that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself. Later, the instrument was stolen, Dads spirit was broken and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius24. In Paragraph l, the writer mentioned his fathers developing color prints to .A. let others know that he believed his father B. show that his father would like to make violins C. prove that his father could do anything he wanted toD. give an example showing that his father was an inventor25.

Which of the following statements is true about the missing violin?A. It was a Stradivarius violin. B. It was made of spruceC. It was not found until his father was 80 D. It must be valued by its new owner.27. What kind of person is the writers father?A. Pround and funny B. Talented and diligent C. Pessimistic and lazy D. Creative and aggressiveCBlack Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day and the Friday before Cyber Monday in the United States. It is a busy shopping day and is a holiday in some states. For many American consumers, it is the day when you can get great deals on goods that may eventually bee Christmas presents. Many people have a day off work or choose to take a day from their quota of annual leave on Black Friday. But why is it black Friday? There are a couple of stories. But the most monly cited one has to do with ink, paper, and accounting. By the early 1980s, a theory began to be circulated: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season, beginning on the day after Thanksgiving. When this would be recorded in the financial records, once-mon accounting practices would use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink to show positive amounts. Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period when retailers would no longer have losses (the red) and instead take in the years profits (the black). The Christmas shopping season is of enormous importance to American retailers and, while most retailers intend to and actually do make profits during every quarter of the year, some retailers are so dependent on the Christmas shopping season that the quarter including Christmas produces all the years profits and pensates for losses from other quarters. So there you have it. Its about how much money retailers are making from you and me.28.

All the retailers depend on the profits on Black Friday to pensate for the previous loss. B. Black Friday is a great chance for retailers to make profits.C. Christmas shopping season is the only profitable season to the retailers.D. most retailers are in red before the Christmas shopping season.31. What is the best title of the reading passage?A. Black Fridays origin.B. Black Friday in the United KingdomC. Black Friday and its originD. Stories about Black FridayDWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say Im just a housewife. I dont understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home? How could you be just a housewife when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service?

Dont think you are not being paid for it. You deserve the reward that no money can offer-the love and affection of your family, their trust, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the fortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; its time to make them accept it.
