Recently, how
17、ever, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I m treated as a person. Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they d never say or do to thei
18、r most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned(示意) me back with his finger minutes later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I d been. I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon(勤杂工) by plenty of peop
19、le. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differendy after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served. Once I graduated I took a job at a communi
20、ty newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world workedcordially (友善地) . I soon found out differently, I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often
21、get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me. My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return
22、 to the restaurant industry. It s no secret that there s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn t get
23、 the difference between server and servant. I m now applying to graduate school, which means someday Ill return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think Ill take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.（分数

For them, cheerleadin
30、g is just leading cheers. If the girls are doing dances on the sidelines(球场边) or they re holding a sign trying to get a crowd response, that technically would t be considered a sport. While sideline cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, the competitive chee
31、rleaders are playing to win. A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisers, is a “physical activity or competition against or with an opponent (对手) , governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a compar
32、ison of the relative skills of the participants. “ Because competitive cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport. Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts (体操运动员) , cheerleaders must learn to tumble(翻跟头).They perform standing back flips (蹦跳)， round flip
33、 flops, and full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers“ are thrown in the air, held by “bases“ in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so do
34、es competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity
35、 and sharpness. The more difficult a stunt(绝技) , the sharper and more in-sync(同步) , the higher score they can get. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization(同步) , first place is out of reach.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, _cheerleading is a sport.（分数：2.00）A.fas
36、t-growingB.sidelineC.competitiveD.physical(2).What is the cheerleaders main goal?（分数：2.00）A.To do more physical exercises.B.To help win the game.C.To entertain the crowd.D.To get more awards.(3).How are competitive cheerleaders awarded points?（分数：2.00）A.They are awarded points for the speed of the p

I don t know if theyll be able to achieve their American dream. “She may be right. More
40、than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich. It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, with poor scores, at the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the to
41、p scores. That s what the working persons children are up against. The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That s about 200 years. The typical feature of American opportunity has always been the ability to do
42、 better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility(变动). If you look at the mechanisms(机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like ple
43、ntiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care. White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start . If you started in the middle-income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what
44、you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class. The rest is up to you. But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them pain
45、fully far away from the middle class.（分数：10.00）(1).Why is Abby Subark nervous?（分数：2.00）A.Her kids don t want to catch up with other kids in achievements.B.Her kids dont want to achieve success at all.C.Her kids can only achieve success through hard work and education.D.Her family is not rich enough
46、to help her kids achieve their goals.(2).Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.People used to have more opportunities for upward mobility.B.A great many poor people can hardly realize their American dream.C.You can make all your dreams come true in America if born r
47、ich.D.Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids.(3).The sentence “where you end up depends on where you start“ (Para. 5 ) most probably means_.（分数：2.00）A.your starting point cannot determine your destinationB.only a high goal can ensure successC.your birth has nothing to do with your
48、 fateD.your family lays solid foundation for your future achievement(4).What can we infer from the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Poverty causes people much pain.B.People below the poverty line can never be in the middle class.C.Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream.D.Poor
49、peoples starting point is too low.(5).The writer of the passage is trying to tell us that _.（分数：2.00）A.how the middle class came about in the U. S.B.it s hard for poor Americans to realise their American dreamC.wealth and social status have little to do with family backgroundD.upward mobility in America is never easy
