“I would almost rather see you dead,” Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family ranked among (跻身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social families, such an idea could not even be considered.

That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger. Instead, she opposed (抗拒) him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance (坚持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.

64. How did Mr Cassatt react (反应) when his daughter made her announcement? A. He feared for her life. B. He was very angry. C. He nearly killed her. D. He warned her.

65. What in fact was Mr Cassatt’s main reason for opposing his daughter’s wish? A. Drawing and painting was simply unthinkable among ladies in those days. B. He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art. C. He believed an artist’s life would be too hard for his daughter.

D. Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times. 66. What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s character from the text? A. She was brave in going against old ideas. B. She got tired of always obeying her father. C. She hated playing at drawing and painting.

D. She did not mind being poor at all.

67. According to the text, which of the following was generally considered the most important in the life of a woman in the US in Mary Cassatt’s time?

A. Money. B. Career.

C. Marriage. D. Courage. Ｄ

Have you ever been afraid? Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms（手掌） sweat when it’s your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully (欺负人的人) who chooses you.

We all have fears sometimes. That’s true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared (恐惧的). That’s why they like to watch scary movies.

Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesn’t seem to be anything to be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesn’t seem to be a clear reason, that’s called anxiety (焦虑). For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere. For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.

Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.

68. What does the underlined phrase “get butterflies in your stomach” (Paragraph 1) probably mean?

A. Get angry. B. Get nervous. C. Get hurt. D. Get excited.

69. What does the writer want to show in the second paragraph? A. Brave people won’t feel fear whatever happens. B. Children are easier to show fear than adults. C. Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy. D. Fear can be good to people sometimes.

70. According to the passage, we can learn that anxiety _________. A. often appears before an important exam

B. appears when people face some frightening things C. can’t be treated once it begins

D. sometimes doesn’t seem to have a clear reason

71. What would be talked about in the next paragraph? A. The great harm fear does to people’s health.

B. Who to turn to for help when people feel anxious. C. Some good ways to help people deal with fear.

D. What kind of people can easily feel anxious. Ｅ

Once upon a time, a businessman named Ray Kroc discovered a restaurant owned by two brothers. The restaurant served just four things: hamburgers, French fries, milk shakes and Coca-Cola. They were clean and cheap, and the service was quick. Mr Kroc liked it so much that he paid the brothers so that he could use their idea and their name: McDonald’s.

Mr Kroc opened his first McDonald’s in 1955. Four years later, there were 100 McDonald’s restaurants. Mr Kroc knew Americans liked success. Therefore, he put up signs saying how many millions of McDonald’s hamburgers people had bought. In just four years, the number of McDonald’s restaurants was one hundred million.

Anyone who wants to open a McDonald’s must first work in one for a week. Then, they do a nine-month training program in the restaurants and at McDonald’s University in Chicago. There they learn the McDonald’s philosophy (理念): quality control, service, cleanliness and cheap prices. McDonald’s has strict rules. Hamburgers must be served before they are ten minutes old, and French fries must be served before they are seven minutes old.

McDonald’s has never stopped looking for new methods to attract customers. Chicken, fish, salad and, in some places, pizza are now on the menu. McDonald’s in Holland even sells burgers without meat.

The international popularity of McDonald’s shows it has found the recipe (秘诀) for success.
