It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .
A．road conditions www..com

D．the large number of cars 
In the writer’s opinion, .

B．strict traffic rules are badly needed
C．unskillful drivers should be punished
D．drivers should show road politeness properly
The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .
A．politeness and impoliteness
B．good manners and bad manners
C．offering help to others as much as possible
D．willingness to give in to each other’s wishes
What is the best title of the passage?
A．Road Politeness

It has been difficult to sit on the bench the majority of my high school basketball career. To watch my team from the sideline and 21 why I am not good enough to be on the floor. 22
endless hours of work and devotion, pushing myself through drill after drill, the 23 thing I want is to be a cheerleader. The feeling of being 24 is sometimes too much and drives me to
25 on the spot. I often feel as though my efforts are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to 26 .
It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(旁觀者) for the game I love, knowing that no one has enough 27 to give me the chance to 28 on the floor. Tears well up, but I hold them back. I shouldn’t be so 29 over something so silly.

With the Indian economy predicted to grow by 7．5 percent this year, experts say it could be time for Western CEOs to learn some lessons from Indian CEOs．The key differences between Indian and Western bosses are:
Social purpose
One of the most important things is that Indian leaders lead with a sense of social purpose．Every leader in India gave a specific social purpose as being the goal of their business．Those purposes ranged from improving healthcare to getting cell phones to people who didn't have access to communication tools．Having a social purpose motivates workers．
Invest in employees
Indian firms invest an enormous amount in their employees' training and development．IT firms typically offer 60 days of formal training for newly hired workers and they even spend months training experienced workers．A study said that Western firms have largely abandoned investing in employees, seeing it as a waste if they quit．But Indian bosses believe that investing in employees ensures the quality of those who stay at the company．
Take the long view
Indian bosses stress far less on shareholders than it is typical at Western business．As a result they're more able to take a long-term view．Western companies can't just ignore their shareholders, but their CEOs can do more to protect their -employees from short-term financial pressures, letting them get on with their jobs．
Work fromtheir strengths
Western companies often think about strategy in terms of chasing customers or pursuing market opportunities, but Indian firms will more often start by identifying their strengths and customers’ needs, and then try to meet those needs．
Act as a role model
Being a personal role model for their employees is an amazing thing for a CEO．If Western bosses could think of themselves as role models, it would have a real impact on their workers．
【小題1】Indian CEOs use their sense of social purpose to _________．
| A．improve the workers' healthcare system |
| B．provide cell phones to people in need |
| C．motivate and encourage their employees |
| D．promote the development of communication systems |
| A．it takes too long to complete the formal training of newly hired workers |

Twenty years is just a blink in time. But 20 years is also long enough for a man to grow up. It is always painful. For Andrew Agassi, maturing in the spotlight of international tennis competition was even harder.
On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.
"The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what I've found," Agassi said to the fans. "I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed." It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career.
Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat at a judge. Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, "I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you."
The turning point in Agassi's career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大滿貫賽事)at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of courage and not just power, it's a marathon, not a sprint(短跑).
And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he ranked No. 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didn't quit though. "I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise," he said. "That never stopped." www.zxxk.com
1.The underlined phrase "more than ten years his junior" in the second paragraph means _________.
A. having lower ranking than Agassi for more than ten years
B. having higher ranking than Agassi for more than ten years
C. more than ten years older than Agassi
D. more than ten years younger than Agassi
2.How did Agassi feel when he was defeated in the competition?
A. He felt angry with the judge
B. He felt satisfied with the scoreboard
C. He felt regretful but encouraged
D. He felt in great desperation
3.The passage implies ______.
A. after 1997 Agassi began to take up marathon besides tennis
B. Agassi began to play tennis before he was fifteen
C. Agassi hesitated to quit his sports career
D. the reason why Agassi lost his last competition was that he lacked courage and power
4.The score of the match between Agassi and Becker is ______.
A. 0-2 B. 0-3 C. 1-3 D. 2-3

The American local food movement has been all about buying seasonal food from nearby farmers. Now, thanks to the Web, it is expanding to include far-away farmers too. A new start-up, Foodzie, is an online farmers market where small food producers and growers can sell their products.
Foodzie was started by Mr LaFave and two of his friends, who met during college at Virginia Tech, where they would pay frequent visits to farmers markets. Last year, while living in North Carolina, one of them, Emily Olson, now 24, came up with one idea. She was working as a brand manager for a gourmet grocery chain and realized that people who enjoyed fine food but didn’t work in the business had no way to discover handmade foods outside their local farmers markets. Small farmers had no way of finding or selling to faraway customers, either.
Mr LaFAve and the third co-founder, Nik Bauman, both 25, worked in corporate sales and software development. “With business, food and computer science backgrounds, we figured we had everything we needed.” Mr LaFAve said.
The three quit their jobs, and opened this site to the public in December and the site has had 43,000 visitors in the past month. So far, 29 sellers have opened shops and 41 are in the process of opening them. The founders recently hired a fourth employee to help Ms Olson recruit(吸收) new food producers at farmers markets and food shows. Mr LaFAve is convinced that the recession(經濟衰退) will not reduce people’s interest in buying locally grown and handmade food. “There is misunderstanding that all these foods are more expensive than mass-produced alternatives,” he said. “People are pouring their heart and soul into these products, and they are of the highest quality.”
1.The passage is mainly about_______.
A. how an online farmers’ market works
B. the American local food movement
C. three youths starting an online farmers’ market
D. the reasons why people are interested in local food
2.Why did the founders start the online farmers’ market?
A. Because it met the need of the market.
B. Because the founders were interested in seasonal food.
C. Because some people wanted to buy locally grown food.
D. Because farmers wanted to sell their foods.
3.The underlined word in Paragraph 2 can be used to describe _______.
A. food of high quality B. terrible food C. food of low fat D. fried food
4.About the three founders, we know that ______.
A. they are of the same age
B. they gave up their work to start the website
C. they used to be colleague
D. they majored in farming at college
