About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project. All of them felt really desperate due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, “Sir, I’ve promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. m.” His boss replied, “OK. You’re permitted to leave the office early today.”
The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?” His wife replied, “You don’t know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.”
What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he’s promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it’s done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way, can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other than the mastermind behind India’s successful nuclear weapons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India.

Chinese culture certainly has no shortage of【小题1】（symbol）of good fortune，many of them arising from wordplay or riddles. For example，fish in China are considered to be a symbol of luck in several ways. Since the Chinese pronunciation of fish is the same as【小题2】 of another word meaning surplus，fish are often used as【小题3】sign of wealth or abundance. During the Spring Festival，a fish【小题4】（prepare）to represent the desire to always have something 【小题5】（leave）over for the coming year. One can also often see carp（鲤鱼）in Asian artwork.

This fish is able to grow very old，therefore 【小题6】（serve）as a symbol of longevity. It also represents unity since they often swim together in pairs. This explains 【小题7】 fish decorations are often given 【小题8】 a wedding gift to represent a perfect union. 【小题9】（final），fish are also a symbol of fertility（生育能力）because of their 【小题10】（able）to reproduce rapidly and in large volumes.

   It isn’t easy being a princess. A princess addresses large crowds and uses perfect manners. A princess must always be polite and sweet and sometimes repairs car engines and fixes tires. Princess Elizabeth Ⅱ really did so.

Before she was Queen of England, Princess Elizabeth wanted to join the ATS, a female branch of the British military. It was in World War Ⅱ , and women worked at jobs traditionally held by men.

Elizabeth was a teenager and first had to convince (使信服) her parents about her plan. Her parents thought it was too dangerous, but she would not take no for an answer. “ I ought to do as other girls of my age do,” she said firmly. After some months, her parents finally agreed. Princess Elizabeth did not receive any special treatment in the ATS. The only thing different was that she returned to Windsor Castle each night to sleep.

When she arrived at the ATS camp for her first day of training, she was greeted by a jacked-up car with its wheels off. In the following weeks, she learned to take apart an engine and then assemble (组装) it. The princess loved the training, admitting, “I’m a mechanic at last. I’ve scraped the skin off my knuckles.”

Princess Elizabeth worked on cars, trucks, and even tank engines. She also learned to read maps and drive cars, ambulances, and military trucks. To complete her ATS training, she was required to drive a big truck on her own.

The King and Queen thought driving a truck was too dangerous, but before they could let her know how they felt, they discovered Elizabeth driving a truck onto the palace grounds. She had driven from the ATS camp through the busy London streets all by herself.

Now at her old age, she still drives — sometimes in London but more often around her large property at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Being a queen requires a lot of hard work, but it can be fun as well. Queen Elizabeth loves horses and still rides four times each week. She also still likes to get a little dirty. She actively manages her estate farm at Balmoral and is often seen hiking through the countryside there.

【小题1】Why was Elizabeth such a special princess?

A．Because she did many jobs always done by men.

B．Because she joined the army.

D．Because she liked to repair some broken cars and trucks.

【小题2】At the ATS camp, Elizabeth __________.

A．spent one of the happiest moments in her life

B．received strict training in various aspects

C．failed to complete her training

D．was trained for a long time as an excellent princess

【小题3】What do we know about Elizabeth from the last paragraph?

A．She does a lot of hard work on her own farm.

B．She finds it difficult to become a qualified queen.

C．She has some difficulty in managing her spare time.

D．She leads a meaningful life even if she is at an old age.

【小题4】Which of the following words can best describe Elizabeth?

A．Energetic, homesick and capable.

   Robert Lee Frost was born on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, California.  Frost attended Dartmouth College after graduating from high school in 1892.  In 1894 his first poem, titled My Buterly. An Elegy, was published in The Independent.  Robert Frost went on to attend Harvard University in 1897 after marrying his wife Elinor in 1895.  He left university due to health concerns, and moved to a New Hampshire farm.

The time spent on his farm in New Hamp shire, where he tried to work the land, make a life, and provide for his family, was very hard for Robert Frost, his wife and children.  However, Frost came to respect rural life and grew an appreciation for what those living around him went through.  Because he so intimately （密切地） knew rural country life, he was able to master describing it through prose.  These experiences on the farm inspired many of his well known pieces of poetry, including The Tufts of Flowers and The Trial by Existence, both of which were published in 1906.

It was when Robert Frost decided to sell his farm in 1912 and move to England that he found publishers who were willing to shine a light on his poetry, something that was tough for a new poet to do in America.  His first book of poems, A Boy's Will, was published only a few months after his arrival in England, and North of Boston was published a year afterward.

By the time that Robert Frost made it back to his home country of America, he had built a solid career and reputation in England and was able to further his success.  His standing allowed him to connect with influential publishers, such as Henry Holt, and get his poetry out into the hands of the American people.  In 1916, Frost published Mountain Interval, which contained poems and stories he had written during his stay in England.

Robert Frost died on January 29, 1963 in Boston, Massachusetts at the age of 88.  Before passing away, Robert Frost was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poems and contributions to American literature.

【小题1】What made it possible for Frost to finish The Tufts of Flowers?

A．His familiarity with country life.

B．His hardship on his farm.

C．His experiences in England.

D．His appreciation for his family.

【小题2】When did Frost's first collection come out?

A．Before his stay in England.

B．When he was about to sell his farm.

C．After he moved to England.

D．When he became famous in England.
