I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折叠) everything, including socks. I would
complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She
only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.The writer used to take care of the lady because ________.
| A．she wanted to learn to do housework |
| B．she was a friend of the lady’s |

The little girl was ______ when the lady taught her how to do housework.
| A．encouraged to learn | B．unwilling to learn |
| C．delighted to learn | D．recommended to learn |
Now the writer ______.
| A．is still afraid of the lady | B．hates the strict lady |
| C．admires the disabled lady | D．is very grateful to the lady |

You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best. "
What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.
We asked some people about their homes.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.
Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.
When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(无效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it appears to.
It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.” Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.
| A．green | B．black | C．yellow | D．brown |
Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?
| A．Because of the size of the product. | B．Because of the color of the product. |
| C．Because of the color of the package. | D．Because of the cost of the product. |
If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?
| A．$ 24 | B．$ 36 | C．$ 40 | D．$ 60 |
Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?

Some people like to get up late, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don’t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true.
Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people, and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. But air is never as fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work^ such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort (努力）to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise?”
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.People don’t always agree on whether to get up early.
In the passage the writer gives four reasons for early rising.
Early rising makes people happier according to the passage.
Early risers don’t look as healthy as late risers.
