Like many men at some point, I dream about opening a bar. I plan to call it Work Out. It will cater to married women in need of a little fun. On Friday nights, they will be able to come here and enjoy themselves.
See, I have a gift for business. I am, as my wife Zsa Zsa likes to note, “A man with a million ideas, none of them very good.” Speaking of Zsa Zsa, she is fed up with this plain little life I’ve made for us——too many kids, too many chores, mind – numbing debt. The other day, she said she thought we needed a new family car. “Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?” I said, and saw my dear Zsa Zsa age about 20 years, and become her mother right before my eyes.
Yes, money is our madness. Last year, we thought we had found a little cushion when I published a book about the life here in suburban America. It sold 12 copies——six of them to my mother. Four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them for martini coasters (杯垫), then sold them at yard sales. The two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (I think I owe you dinner, whoever you are. Call me, OK? We’ll arrange something.)
When the book didn’t take off, I wrote a TV show. Then I penned a short novel based on the earlier TV idea that didn’t sell. Currently, I am at work on a set of encyclopedias(百科全书). In a month, I plan to sell them door-to-door.
Such is the life of a writer, sending off the most personal thoughts possible to his hard drive. I am a writer, but also the breadwinner in my family. I’m at the keyboard at 6 almost every morning, hoping to tap out one idea——just one——that will take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.
1.According to the passage, the author is leading a/an______ life.
A. enjoyable B. wealthy
C. hard D. comfortable
2.By saying “Sure. How about an 87 Lincoln?”, the author_______ .
A. promised it to his wife
B. was showing off their fortune
C. thought his wife would like it
D. was just joking
3.What was the result of the book the author mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?
A. It didn’t sell well at all
B. He sold it door – to – door.
C. He made a lot of money from it.
D. It was really a cushion for his family.
4.What does the underlined word “cushion” mean ?
A. Comfortable seat. B. Financial help.
C. Unexpected success. D. Best-selling book.
5.From the account above, which of the following statements is true?
A. He has a real gift for business.
B. He isn’t serious enough about life.
C. He is a hard – working writer.
D. His wife is satisfied with their plain life.

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?
Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
1.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they __________.
A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristics
B．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C．are often influenced by previous generations
D．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
2. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _______.
A．they have a vision from the mountaintop
B．they have warm feelings and emotions
C．they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles
D．they can make people feel stronger and more confident
3.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because __________.
A．they are popular only among certain groups of people
B．their performances do not improve their fans morally
C．their primary concern is their own financial interests
D．they are not clear about the principles they should follow
4.The author concludes that historical changes would __________.
A．be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities
B．not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices
C．take place if there were heroes to lead the people
D．produce leaders with attractive personalities

At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. 1. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided.
What has become of these women in white? 2. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the workforce, but their options have greatly increased. 3.In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. 4.
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. 5. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal（致命的）diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.
A.The answer lies in not one but several causes.
B.Many students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.
C.Today, however, many nurses have lost their jobs and led a poor life.
D.There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers.
E.Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I.
F.Women are treated unfairly when applying for jobs for quite a long time.
G.In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years.

Many people like to eat at a favorite restaurant on their birthday. 71 Here are the tips about how to eat for free on your birthday.
Notice promotional (促销的) cards or signs at restaurants for their e-club or online notification of special offers. Sometimes it is called a birthday club. In some cases they ask for your email address and at other times, you register online from your own computer. 72
If you don’t know whether your favorite restaurant has an e-club, look them up online. Just search their name if it’s a chain. Look over the webpage for anything that says SIGN UP or JOIN. It may call it an e-club.
You will receive e-mail advertisements from them. 73 if it asks for birthday and anniversary dates when you sign up, then the restaurant usually will send you a personal coupon and invitation for that event.
Check your e-mail the week leading up to your birthday. All the e-clubs that you signed up for will be sending their invitations.
Read the fine print on all the offers before deciding where to eat on your birthday. Some are only on the exact date. 74 There may be other requirements, like free dessert when you buy an entree (主菜).
Choose the most inviting offer or over several days, take advantage of free dining opportunities. __75
| A．Anyway, look around for these offers and get signed up. |
| B．However, others may be for any time over a two-week period. |
| C．But how can we eat better in a free restaurant? |
| D．It would be an even greater treat if the meal or part of the meal were free. |
E. Why not celebrate your birthday for a whole week, not just one day?
F. Often the advertisements will include discount coupons(优惠券).
G. So don’t go to such restaurant.

Do you like chocolate? Most people do. Some like it in bars. Others just like big squares of it.
Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A study carried out by a professor in the University of Virginia showed that people’s choices of chocolates show their personality. If you choose a round piece, you are a person who likes to party. If you select an oval shape, you are a person who strives(努力). You like to make things and push yourself to be successful. Picking a square shape shows that this is an honest and truthful person you can depend on.
What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past, while dark chocolate means something else -- the person who chooses it ________. What about white chocolate? Would you like to choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Those who like chocolate with nuts are people who like to help others.
Do you believe these ideas? Can chocolate tell all these things? It doesn’t matter. There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolates – they eat it because they like it.
