When she was 15 she happened to walk into
9、a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if shed like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes. Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of co
10、llege. During college she would do many other jobs; she served coffee in the students union, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs. One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer (癌症). The woman
11、 seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer. Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child
12、 who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time. Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offeri
13、ng to perform the surgical operation for free. Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation.

17、port moved some doctors.Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced
18、 his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logical term “lawn tennis“. By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda
19、, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and
20、there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States. And just two years later, in 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament(锦标赛)was heldat Nahant near Boston.（分数：8.00）(1).Mary Outerbridge is important in the hist

23、ed.D.Miss Outerbridge set up a lawn tennis court with the help of her brother.There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day. If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to
24、 work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity. One of the things we all know abou
25、t sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesnt mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down. For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The hear
26、t beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的)and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do. Your body temperature becomes lower when you are
27、 asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes (反射 动作)still work. For instance, if someone tickles(使觉得痒)your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things wi
28、thout knowing it.（分数：8.00）(1).If you dont have as much sleep as your body needs, you will_.（分数：2.00）A.work properlyB.think clearlyC.keep your attention on your workD.easily get angry(2).The cells of your body develop supplies of energy_.（分数：2.00）A.when you are asleepB.when you recover from your work
29、 of the dayC.in the next period of activityD.when you are quiet(3).In the clause “.that we are unconscious in sleep“(Para.3) ,the word “unconscious“ means_（分数：2.00）A.untiringB.unmovedC.quietD.not knowing what is happening around(4).When you are sleeping,_.（分数：2.00）A.all of you reflexes stop workingB
30、.most of your reflexes stop workingC.many of your reflexes still workD.all of your reflexes still workThe first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时) , in 1531. There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700 s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to f
31、ind a broker(agents)to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange. In New York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York St
32、ock Exchange in 1792. The American Stock Exchange, the second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City. A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds (债券) of American and foreign
33、businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make. The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corpo
34、ration has some special rule to prevent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景) of the company. If the business is doing well, the stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit. If it is not, he may have to take a loss.（分

He had a large family to support, so he often found himself in difficulty. He often visited Mr

Tom had already received more than thirty pounds from Mr. White, but he always seemed to be in need of some more
