Passage 5
I had two jobs growing up and they all helped shape my life.
When I was about 12, I started caddying(当球童)at a nearby country club. All the kids in the neighborhood did it, and I liked it a lot．I got to watch people who were generally pretty wealthy. They were businessmen and doctors. I would listen to them talking about things and see how they behaved with each other. It was like a fly on the wall at a meeting.
The second job was at a shoe store. I constantly met people from all walks of life and the challenge was exciting. I’d start bring them different kinds of shoes and get right down there and put them on their feet. If they didn’t like a certain shoe, I always tried to be thinking ahead to a pair they might like better. It was like stepping up to the plate in a baseball game. Every time someone walked into that store, I was going to bat and take a swing. I never wanted to let a customer get out of that store without buying a pair of shoes to his satisfaction．

Passage 6
Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia--which now makes a great deal of the world’s paper--did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper—making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty—page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century.
When we think of paper，we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year，more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses. 1. Where was paper invented?
A. In China B. In southern Europe C. In Scandinavia D. In Britain． 2. Scandinavia began to make paper _____ . A. in ll00 B. in l400 C. In Scandinavia D. In Britain．

Passage 8
People in the United States like to entertain people at home. They invite friends for a meal, a party or even a cup of tea. Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like an invitation, but actually are not. For example, ―Please come over for a drink sometime.‖ In fact, it is only just a polite way of ending a conversation. It is not a real invitation, because it does not contain a specific time or date. It just shows that the person who is speaking is friendly. So when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully.
When you accept or reject an invitation, it is polite to show pleasure at receiving the invitation. When you cannot accept the invitation, it is better to offer a vague excuse, such as an appointment with a certain friend, some other work to do or a prior engagement. 1. People in the U.S. love to entertain people ______. A. at a snack bar B. at home
