   In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school．
   Most children go to public elementary school and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay for their children’s education because taxes support the public schools. If a child goes to a private school, his parents have to pay for the child’ s education.
   Today about half of the high school students go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive money support from the government. A student at a state university does not have to pay much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the USA work while they are studying. If a student’s family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.

      O. Henry, born in Greensboro, North Carolina, was the pen name of William Sydney Porter. His father, Algernon Sydney Porter, was a physician. When William was three years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. William was a good reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and worked in a drug store and later on a Texas farm. After that, he moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.
      In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined The Houston Post as a reporter and columnist (专栏作家). In 1897 he was put into prison over some financial (财务的) dealings. While in prison, William started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work, Whistling Dick’sChristmas Stocking(1899), appeared in McClure’s Magazine. After serving three years of the five years’ sentence，he changed his name to O. Henry, hoping to forget his bitter past.
      O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World, and also published the stories in other magazines. His first collection, Cabbages and Kings, appeared in 1904. Many other works quickly followed, such as The Gift of the MagiandThe Furnished Room. O. Henry’s best- known work is The Ransom of Red Chief. His stories always have surprising endings. He published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.
      O. Henry’s last years were shadowed by drinking, ill health, and financial problems. In 1907, he experienced a failed marriage. In 1910, O. Henry died after an illness.

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.

“Give this package to Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said. “You don’t have any luggage, right?”

“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”

“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

“Thanks.”

Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $ 10 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.

Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

49. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers. B. Because that made him easier to be recognised.

C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes. D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.

50. An air courier is a person who _______.

A. manages a business company in foreign countries B. organises international flights for tourists

C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries

51. Businesses choose the air-courier service because _______.

A. it costs lessB. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast

52. One of the disadvantages of travelling as an air courier is that he _______.

A. cannot decide when and where to travel B. cannot take any luggage with him

C. has to wear two pairs of jeans D. saves little money from the travel

D

It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. Buck said, “You should open a sandwich shop.”

That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1, 000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $ 1, 000.

But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.

DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced(使信服) ourselves to open a second store. We thought we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error(错误).

But the partners ‘learn-as-you-go’ approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says.

And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.

DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.

53. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _______.

A. support his familyB. pay for his college education

C. help his partner expand businessD. do some research

54. Which of the following is true of Buck?

A. He rented a storefront for DeLuca. B. He was a professor of business management.

C. He put money into the sandwich business. D. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.

55. What can we learn about their first shop?

A. It stood at an unsuitable place. B. It made no money due to poor management.

C. It lowered the prices to promote sales. D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.

56. They decided to open a second store because they _______.

A. had enough money to do it B. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers

C. had succeeded in their business D. wanted to make people believe that they were successful

E

In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.
“You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”
“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university. ” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”
“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad, are they?”
“No,” she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”
Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. What’s more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could hardly hide his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.
57. The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because ______.
A. his father graduated from the university B. his mother did not think it a great university
C. his parents needed him to help support the family D. his parents did not have enough money for him

58. The father started his small shop with the money from ______.
A. a local league B. his university C. his relatives D. his college friends
59. Why did the mother renew her membership in the league?

A. To help with her husband’s business. B. To raise money for her son.

C. To meet her long-forgotten friends. D. To better manage her life.
60. According to the text, what was the author determined to do in that autumn? 
A. To get a well-paid job for himself. B. To go to his dream university.  
C. To improve relations with his mother. D. To carry on with his father’s business.
