She needed to start saving for
9、 college, so she said yes.Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. 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
10、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 seemed anxious.

11、e pride she felt in having helped her customer.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child 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

13、ank you.“ What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!At McCarleys bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store. Today its the same.

Major Walter Wingfield thought tha
17、t something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced 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 sim
18、ple and logical term “lawn tennis“.By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, 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
19、 brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and 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 t
20、ournament(锦标赛)was heldat Nahant near Boston.25 Mary Outerbridge is important in the history of lawn tennis because_.（A）she invented it（B） she gave it its name（C） she introduced it to Bermuda（D）she brought it to America26 The new game called Sphairistike appeared in _in 1873.（A）America（B） Europe（C） B

22、ennis.（C） The sport was called “lawn tennis“ shortly after it was invented.（D）Miss Outerbridge set up a lawn tennis court with the help of her brother.28 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 o
23、f time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to 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
24、 energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about 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 s
25、lowed down.For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart 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 mos
26、t quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are 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 yo
27、ur sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.29 If you dont have as much sleep as your body needs, you will_.（A）work properly（B） think clearly（C） keep your attention on your work（D）easily get angry30 The cells of your body develop supplies of energy_.（A）wh
28、en you are asleep（B） when you recover from your work of the day（C） in the next period of activity（D）when you are quiet31 In the clause “.that we are unconscious in sleep“(Para.3) ,the word “unconscious“ means_（A）untiring（B） unmoved（C） quiet（D）not knowing what is happening around32 When you are sleep
29、ing,_.（A）all of you reflexes stop working（B） most of your reflexes stop working（C） many of your reflexes still work（D）all of your reflexes still work32 The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时) , in 1531.

31、ee on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock 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 sel
32、l stocks and bonds (债券) of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public.

The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.The stockholder may sell
33、his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it.
