I waited half an hour, set the board, and sat in the studio, reviewing my questions until the telephone lines flashed.

“Hello ?”

“This is Connie Chung. I’m so sorry I’m late.”

Connie Chung was one of the only four women anchors （主播） to make it into the club of major evening network television news. For almost an hour we talked about the industry. When I asked if she ever had an instructor throughout her trials, she turned around and offered to instruct me. When I asked why she decided to do it, she simply replied, “Because you’re good.”

That afternoon I rushed home and told my mother what had happened. Without looking up, she just said “Good for you.” Hearing this, I felt a sense of loss.　 Her consistent response always made me feel under-appreciated.

Until then I had been searching for something that I would never get—that sense of love and acceptance in a house full of negativity （消极）.

I knew I needed to get rid of all the negativity in my life first, so I packed my bags and walked out of the house, thinking a risk would allow me to open myself to the world again and receive all the positive energy that I needed.

Then radio became my way of connecting with others. My ability to book high-level guests and celebrities（名人）was gradually recognized and eventually all the words of encouragement from past guests and colleagues helped me to re-build my confidence levels. “I can do this,” I kept telling myself, and pushed even harder to find my next aim.

People had faith in me, so I developed faith in myself. Their positive attitudes towards themselves and towards me helped me develop my own positive attitude, leading to productive interactions with celebrities and adding to my list of instructors.

I may not have started life surrounded by positivity but I surely feel that I am surrounded by it now. It’ s amazing how positivity builds on itself.

3.Why did the author leave home?

A. To broaden his view. B. To escape punishment.

C. To keep away from negativity. D. To set up a home of his own.

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

C. My Ability in Management D. The Friendship Between Anchors

At the top of a three-storey brick house Sue and Johnsy had their studio. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia(肺炎), touched one here and there with its icy fingers. Johnsy was struck down, and she lay, hardly moving, on her bed looking through the window at the blank side of the next brick house.

One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway(走廊).

“She has one chance in ten,” he said, “And that chance is for her to want to live. She has made up her mind that she’s not going to get well. I will do all that I can. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession(队列), I subtract 50 percent from her chance to live.”

After the doctor had gone, Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she came into Johnsy’s room with her drawing board, whistling.

Johnsy lay hardly moving with her face toward the window. Sue stopped whistling, thinking she was asleep.

She arranged her board and began a drawing. As Sue was sketching, she heard a low sound. She went quickly to the bedside.

Johnsy’s eyes were open wide. She was looking out the window and counting backward.

“Twelve,” she said, and a little later “eleven”; and then “ten”, and “nine”; and then “eight” and “seven”, almost together.

Sue looked out the window. What was there to count? There was only the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old ivy vine(常春藤) climbed halfway up the brick wall. Its branches clung(紧紧缠着), almost bare, to the bricks.

“What is it, dear?” asked Sue.

“Six,” said Johnsy, in almost a whisper. “They’re falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. There goes another one. There are only five left now”.

“Five what, dear? Tell me.”

“Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls, I must go, too. Didn’t the doctor tell you?”

“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense,” said Sue. “What have old ivy vine leaves to do with your getting well? Why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well real soon were ten to one! Try to take some soup now.”

“There goes another. No, I don’t want any soup. I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I’ll go , too.”

“Johnsy, dear,” said Sue, bending over her, “will you promise me to keep your eyes closed, and not look out the window until I’m done working? I need the light or I would draw the shade down.”

“Tell me as soon as you have finished,” said Johnsy, closing her eyes, “because I want to see the last one fall. I’m tired of waiting. I want to turn loose my hold on everything and go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.”

1.By saying “Pneumonia touched one here and there” (in the first paragraph), the author means that _________.

A.some people were affected by the illnesses of others

B.pneumonia caused damage to the ivy vine

C.two people became ill

D.many people came down with the illness

2. How did Johnsy feel about the situation during the passage?

3.We can learn from the passage that _____________.

A.Sue came into the room whistling perhaps because she thought Johnsy might like the music.

B.Johnsy’s life was compared to the carriages in a funeral procession

C.Sue told a lie to Johnsy about the doctor’s words

D.Johnsy wanted to know about the falling ivy leaves to meet her own curiosity

4.The underlined word “subtract” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.

A. reduce      B. hope        C. add          D. doubt

5.The passage is probably taken out of ______________.

A. a newspaper    B. a novel

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as

temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study

in Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth

from 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.

As drought caused by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result could

be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from the

University of Montana explained in a telephone interview.

“This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve

plant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in a

statement. “ We see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level because

previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the

world, “ he said.

Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a 6%

increase in the past decade.

Their study，based on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continued

to increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.

Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a

complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in

combination with other factors such as nutrients (营养）and land management，will determine

future patterns and trends in productivity.，^，

1.From the first paragraph, we can learn in the recent decade or so.

A.     the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reduced

B.     draught has been causing loss of soil and water

C.     carbon dioxide levels have been rising

D.     the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth

2.Zhao Maosheng really worried that__ .

E.      more and more land will be abandoned

F.     the climate becomes warmer and warmer

G.    the emission of carbon dioxide increases

H.    draught further reduces the number of the plants

3.Steven Running made his statement to__ .

I.       confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise

J.      urge the government to take necessary measures

K.     warn the people to strengthen the plant protection

L.     support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production

4. We can infer from the passage that______ .

A.     global warming will determine the future productivity

B.     various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity

C.     earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade

D.     temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns
