All eyes were on Jack Ma. The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd stepped down on Teachers’ Day from leading the e-commerce giant he founded 20 years ago.

“I still have lots of dreams to go after,” Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting. “The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things.”

The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party dressed up like a rock star.

In fact, his rags-to-riches story is a good example of doing something different. Visiting the United States in 1995, Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website. In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, struggling for years to get it off the ground. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought e-commerce to China.

Although his success has inspired a number of Chinese tech businessmen, Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. “It’s the dreams that keep us never afraid of setbacks,” Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9. Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer? “I’m not gonna teach English; I’m not gonna teach business. But I’m gonna teach young people how to face challenges,” he told Bloomberg News. Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters.

As Ma said, “Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful.”

1.Why did Jack Ma attract all the attention on Teachers’ Day in 2019？

A.He led the Alibaba Group to celebrate the Teachers’ Day.

B.He would become the former chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

C.He and a group of friends founded Alibaba Group 20 years ago.

D.He gave a special show dressed up like a rock star.

2.What will Jack Ma do after his parting from Alibaba？

A.He will be an English teacher.

B.He will be a rock star.

C.He will continue to be a businessman.

D.He will try something new related to education.

3.Which statement about Jack Ma is NOT true according to the passage？

A.Ma’s success lies in pursuing his dream and making great effort.

B.Jack Ma was worried about the future of education in China.

C.Jack Ma always wants to challenge himself in new fields.

D.Jack Ma would like to encourage young people to overcome difficulties.

One day, I happened to talk to a stranger (陌生人) on the bus. When he found out that I was from Chicago, he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first I wanted to say that it was foolish (愚蠢的) to think like that, for from all the millions of people in Chicago, I could not possibly know his friend. But, instead, I just smiled and said that Chicago was a very big city. He was quiet for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.

He told me that his friend was an excellent tennis player and that he even had his own tennis court (网球场). He added that he knew a lot of people with swimming pools, but that he only knew two people in the country who had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several people like that, for example, my brother and my next-door neighbor. I told him that my brother was a doctor and he lived in California. Then he asked where my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that last year his friend spent the summer in Sacramento and lived next door to a doctor. The doctor had a tennis court. I said that my next-door went to Sacramento last summer and lived in the house next to my brother’s. For a moment, we looked at each other, but we did not say anything.

“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He laughed and said, “Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr. Ray Hunter?” It was my turn to laugh.

1. Which of the following is true?

2. The writer said that Chicago was a very big city. That means _____________.

3. How many persons does the story involve (涉及)?

4.Which is the best title of the story?

A 9-year-old boy n Indiana stopped a would-be carjacker(劫车贼)on Christmas Day from running away with his father’s truck.

Kevin Cooksey was inside the One Stop Express gas station in Kokomo buying medicine for his wife when a man jumped into the driver’s seat of his truck. Cooksey had left the engine running and the door unlocked.

“When I saw my truck door open, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to tell my wife?’” Cooksey said.

His son, Larry, was sitting in the back seat. “As soon as he opened the door, I got frightened,” said Larry. “So I pulled out the gun and pointed it to his head.”

This was enough to make the carjacker think twice and he jumped out of the truck to try another car. Parked beside Cooksey’s truck was Kyle Sparling’s black Trailblazer. He too had left the engine running as he went into the store. The man got in Sparling’s SUV and took off.

“I didn’t know what to think, I just kind of ran outside and watched him,” said Sparling.

As the man sped off, Cooksey told Sparling to get into his truck and the two men began to run after him. The icy winter conditions made the driving difficult, but the pair followed at a safe distance as the carjacker drove in a “Z” way. After a few miles, the carjacker knocked into the sign of a local business, American Tool and Party Rental. Cooksey and Sparling called police to the place.

The police put 32-year-old Ollie Dunn into prison. Sparling’s car was damaged in the wheel, and the windscreen got cracked after the sign fell on it. “I was just glad he didn’t knock into anybody,” Sparling said. “That was my biggest fear, I think.”

1.How did Larry stop the carjacker?

A. He hit him with a gun　　 B. He begged him to stop

C. He cried for others’ help　　 D. He frightened him away with a gun

2.Why could the carjacker easily drive away the SUV?

A. The carjacker broke into it

B. It was parked in the wrong place

C. Nobody was in but the engine was on

D. The driver went to buy medicine for his wife

3.What ended the carjacker’s escape?

A. The police stopped him

B. His driving ability was very poor

C. The SUV got damaged in an accident

D. Cookesey and Sparling caught up with him

4.What does the underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refer to?

“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny. They think too much about the details.

I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.

People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper he had spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?

I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.

Now if you knew the page he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”

“What do you mean?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”

1.The writer wasn’t satisfied with his secretary because ___.

A. she didn’t put first thing first

B. she was too busy

C. she was easy to get angry

D. she couldn’t finish her work on time

2.The train rider read newspaper ___.

A. to take in information　　 B. to enjoy pictures

C. to save time　 D. to kill time

3.The writer thinks that people seem to need a sense of ___.

A. what to read first　　 B. how to read fast

C. what is important　　 D. what is funny

4.The passage is mainly about the writer’s opinion on people’s ___.

A. judgment　　　　　 B. work　　　　　　 C. life　　　　　　　　 D. habits
