25、When I was in college, I remember hearing about a book titled “Looking Out for Number One”. I never read the book, but the title has always stuck with me. I think it was because the title turned me off. I hadn’t been taught to be so selfish that I should be focused on only me . I thought I needed to be helping others and, along the way, I would also be helping myself. Now, I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one.

Over 30 years after seeing the book about looking out for number one I’m realizing number one, me, is the person I should be concerned about first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world?” Most people answer, the customer. He then asks, if there were only two people left in the world, the customer and you, who would you want to survive ? Now the answer is me.

It makes me sense that if we can’t help ourselves first, we will never be prepared to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in a position to help others in the future . But many of us are slow to understand this.

It has been said that happiness will bring success, but success doesn’t always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. For some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will seek high levels of success thinking that will bring happiness. I’m sure we can think of a person who is very successful, according to the world’s standards (标准), but they don’t appear to be happy at all. This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else’s goals that they haven’t considered their own needs.

【1】Who does the writer think is the most important person in the world now?

A. Others B. Himself

C. The customer   D. Jeffrey Gitomer

【2】The underlined words“ turned me off” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.

A. made me excited  B. made me bored

C. made me surprised D. made me pleased

【3】From the third paragraph we can learn ________.

A. we should help others instead of ourselves

B. we need help others make the best decisions

C. helping others can help control our lives

D. actually few of us understand this idea earlier

【4】 Why do some successful people not feel happy at all?

A. Because they don’t believe success always brings happiness.

B. Because their basic needs are not completely met.

C .Because they seek for too high levels of success.

D. Because they haven’t been working for their own goals.

【5】 The best title for the passage is “______________”.

A. Considering Our Own Needs First

B. The Most Important in the World

C. Helping Others First

D. Happiness and Success

27、Three rich ladies met every day by the river. They sat there and talked the whole day. Once the three ladies quarreled(争吵). One of them said. “Look, how white and beautiful my hands are!” Another one said, “My hands are more beautiful.” The third one said, “Mine are the most beautiful ones.” An old beggar（乞丐）woman came up to them. “Beautiful ladies,” she said, “I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat.” But the three ladies gave her nothing. They only asked, “Tell me, old woman, which one of us has the most beautiful hands?”

A peasant（农民）woman was also sitting by the river. She was poor and her hands were rough（粗糙的）because of hard work. The old woman came up to her and said, “I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat.” The peasant woman took out her only cake she had and gave her a half.

The old woman ate it and drank some water. Then she took the peasant woman by the hand, brought her before the rich ladies and said, “Now, I shall tell you whose hands are the most beautiful. The hands of the poor peasant woman are rough because of work, but they give us food; they are far more beautiful than your hands which have never done anything.”

1. The three ladies quarreled one day in a boat.

2. The third lady had the most beautiful hand.

3. An old beggar woman came to the three rich ladies to ask for some food first.

4. The peasant woman had a lot of food.

28、   Hundreds of thousands of people often see their faces on the TV screen. They may be speaking “live” from the scene of an earthquake or interviewing a famous person. They look confident as they present stories or give regular updates on an important news event. They are TV reporters.

To many of us, TV reporters seem to have an e【1】 job. After all, they will be among the first to know about major local and world events and they often get to watch these events happen right before their eyes. They e【2】 have many opportunities to meet well-known people and top leaders.

Actually, reporters not only have to put in a lot of hard work, they must also develop different skills and have the right personality for the job.

TV reporters must tell an interesting story so that people will want to watch and pay attention to it. To get the news to their viewers as quickly as possible, TV reporters have to work long and irregular hours. They often work nights, weekends, and h【3】—when people in most other jobs are taking their days off. Reporters must always be ready to get to work right away. During sudden news event, TV reporters may have to put down some notes and start reporting i【4】. In such a situation, they may not have the time to get back to the TV station and write down their story. Sometimes, a reporter has to c【5】 a news story that he has been working on because another news story may seem more important.

When TV reporters study for their job, they have to learn to write news stories that go with the video the cameraman has shot. Writing for TV is very different from writing an o【6】 report.

In order to attract their viewers, they must learn to dress professionally and smartly. TV reporters must speak clearly and appear relaxed. They must learn to look into the camera and smile. Besides, a TV reporter’s v【7】 is key to his or her success on the job. When training for the job, students learn to speak at the right volume to deliver their news story in such a way as to keep their viewers interested.
