Many young people would like to make a booth（货摊）to do business on the street in the name of entrepreneurship（创业精神）and sell lemon. It might seem like an easy sell-kids offering cool drinks. Some entrepreneurs offer their tips on how to make money from this.

Joe Mansueto, founder of the investment company Morningstar, sold lemonade as a kid. "You should always pay attention to customers," he said. "When somebody's walking down the street, get out from behind the booth, greet them, talk to them and just make friends with them to attract more customers."

However, his two sons decided to sell a different drink. When they were 8 and 10, his boys sold cocoa outside their home. The great thing about business is that there are really no rules. You can be creative and try something different, Mansueto said.

But it wasn't enough for US representative Mike Quigley and his older brother to sell drinks. They sold old books at the booth and would rent them out for customers to read while they enjoyed their drinks.

Adam Ochstein, founder of StratEx Partners, a human resources service company, gave frequent visitors cards which were printed with a lemon. Every five drinks, customers got one card which allowed them to pay less than half of the next drink. However, they didn't price the drinks. "If you want to give nothing, give nothing. If you want to give $2, give $2. I think we had let the adults give more money than they probably would like to, "Today, he suggests kids use social media for marketing. He said, "It can tell people where the booth is going to be and what unique specials you're running."

For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.

The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.

Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.

"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.

During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.

"I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained.

Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.

Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends.

"I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said.

Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.

"I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.

Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.

When young people begin to live independently， home-hunting can be difficult． But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes．

Fondly called "tiny houses，" these houses have all living necessities in a small package， including kitchen， bedroom and bathroom． Generally under 50 square meters， most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some claim the space for more． What's lost in size is not lost in designas these homes are often quite modern in design．

Besides an attractive appearance， tiny houses can also have practical features． Making the best of urban space， the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw， the world's narrowest home， filled in an alley（小巷）． The home Ecocapsule uses solar power， wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere．

Although micro-homes are attractive， there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch． Moving into a tiny house， you should throw away unnecessary things． It is also mostly impossible to invite guests． And finally， a micro-home is likely a temporary（暂时的） living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things．

Though the limitation will scare some， there is usually a benefit． A small size results in low prices and small bills， making tiny houses easier to save up for． And though you won't have many things around the house， it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean． Micro-homes are also eco-friendly， which can't be matched by other homes． They probably aren't for everyone or forever， but when it comes to your next （or first） home， they could be just what you need．

1.What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2？ ______

A. People can't take a package into the tiny houses．

B. All of the houses can hold more than two people．

C. These houses are convenient though tiny in size．

D. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size．

2.The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly ______ ．

A. by example B. by comparisons

C. by order in space D. by causes and effects

3.Micro-homes are especially suitable for ______ ．

A. a young person who has many things

B. a person who doesn't have much money

C. a family wanting to protect environment

D. a family hoping to settle down in a city

4.What can be the best title for the text？ ______

A. East or west， home is the best． B. Micro-homes --- more than tiny!

C. Home-hunting --- no easy matter! D. Tiny or large， this is a choice．

Would you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonald’s ad: “We do it all for you.” Actually, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special.

People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places don’t have a “furniture street” or a “computer road” which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead, people often “let their fingers do the walking” through the store hot lines. From the first “hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them decide where to shop.

When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don’t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a breeze. Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless they’re at a flea market or a yard sale, they don’t bother trying to bargain.

When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphy’s Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they don’t have to carry heavy bags out to the car.

1.By quoting (引用) the McDonald’s ad: “We do it all for you”, the author intends to_______.

A. suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeply

B. show readers the American idea on good customer service

C. express all the stores pay much attention to the customers

D. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly

2.In the USA, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping?

A. To visit a professional street with lots of similar stores.

B. To compare prices in many shops in the same street.

C. To make phone calls and get better shopping choices.

D. To receive other customers’ answers to the questions.

3.Which of the followings shows American stores offer convenience to customers in this passage?

A. The store clerks don’t usually sit around watching TV or playing cards.

B. Some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale.

C. The clerks give customers a smile and a warm “thank you” after paying.

D. Some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A. Customer Service in America

B. Excellent Stores in America

C. Shopping Rules in America

D. Being King or Queen in America

Most people would like to keep a healthy diet during the holiday season. There are many social events to celebrate—we love to look our best when we’re there, and we don’t always look our best with bloated(肿胀的) stomachs and pained expressions on our face after having too many cookies, candies and pies. We also need healthy food to provide us with the energy necessary to go to all of these parties with a big smile on our face, gift in hand, and enthusiastic attitude in heart. Starting the New Year with some healthy habits in place, rather than a long list of things to change, can also add momentum (动力) towards reaching other goals. The unfortunate reality is that many of us have a hard time with healthy eating during the holidays.

The holiday season is when we bring out candies, cookies, and all the other party foods! It’s easy to eat too much of the wrong thing. It’s also the time of year when people cook really delicious food in abundance: turkeys, roasts, hams and other great foods are the centerpieces of feasts that tempt(引诱)us to eat more than we need. The holiday season is also a busy and stressful time of year. We’re rushing too much, spending too much, and letting perfectionism and stress take hold of us all too often. This can lead to emotional eating.

People who are celebrating often consume more than they would in their regular lives. When celebrating the holidays, there are several occasions where people might relax their dietary standards a little, in the name of celebration. These celebrations, however, can be rather plentiful during the holiday season, and the indulgence(放纵) can add up.

Fortunately for all of us, there are some pretty effective ways to deal with holiday eating problems, and they’re mostly under your control. For instance, adding certain spices (香料) to your foods can not only make them more flavorful which can lead you to feeling more satisfied as you eat, but these spices can bring added health benefits as well. Additionally, try mindful eating, a healthy eating strategy that has been gaining popularity lately. By eating mindfully, you can eat less and enjoy your food more, relieving stress in the process. It’s win-win-win!

Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. If you plan ahead, you can head off temptation for unhealthy holiday eating. For example. If you’re going to a party or an event where you know you’ll be tempted, eat some healthy food first so you won’t show up starving. Learn your triggers(诱因), and have strategies for combating them.
