So in the middle of the night, his mother called a lawyer named Paul Jobs and said, “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” But his mother told his future parents to promise that they would send Jobs to college. After Steve Jobs graduated from high school, he went to college but decided to drop out because it was so expensive that he had to sleep on the floor in his friends, rooms.‎ At 20, he and a friend started a company in a garage on April 1, 1976. Jobs named their company—Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard (果园) worker in ‎ Oregon.‎ After 10 years of hard time and failures, starting from two kids working in a garage, Apple computer eventually grew into a big company with over 4,000 employees.‎ At 30, Jobs, however, was fired from the company he co-founded.

Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.‎ Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival (竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?‎ George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.‎ ‎“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans.

Both of them realized their original ambitions.‎ B. Both George and Richard became millionaires.‎ C. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success.‎ D. George established a successful business white Richard was missing.‎ D For too many, the damage begins early in life. Four out of 10 babies born in the United States do not form a strong relationship with either parent, and they will pay for that the rest of their lives.‎ New research from Princeton‎ ‎University confirms what other researchers have already found: The number of babies born into families that are too poorly equipped to give them a fair chance of having a successful life is very big.‎ That finding is supported by many other research Projects, including a study from the University of Rochester showing that nearly one-third of U. S. parents don’t know what to expect from their newborns, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. Babies, as others have pointed out, don’t come with an owner’s manual.‎ The basic problem, according to the Princeton study, is 40 percent of infants in the U. S.‎ live in fear or distrust of their parents, and that will turn into aggressiveness, defiance (挑畔) and hyperactivity (多动) as they grow into adults.‎ Of that number, 25 percent don’t have a close relationship with their parents because the parents don’t satisfy their needs. And 15 percent find their parents so troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible.‎ That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence, but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.‎ ‎“They can overcome it,” sociologist Sophie Moullin of? Princeton, lead author of that study, said in a telephone interview. “It’s not a make or break situation, but they might find it harder to control their behavior.”‎ Moullin, along with coauthors from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England, analyzed more than 100 research projects, to reach their conclusions.‎ There are many factors, including poverty, ignorance, and stress among parents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can deal with. ‎ Yet strong relationships, the researchers say, are amazingly simple to achieve.‎ ‎32. What does the passage belong to?‎ A. A review.‎ B. A novel.‎ C. A book report.‎ D. A news report.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “manual” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. An actor knowing how to take care of a baby.‎ B. A radio program abou looking after your baby well.‎ C. A book telling how to do or operate something.‎ D. A TV show on how to make a relationship with your baby.‎ ‎34. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. How to control children’s behavior.‎ B. What a little love means to a little one.‎ C. The problems of the children in the United States.‎ D. The problems of the parents in the United Sates.‎ ‎35. What may the author discuss next?‎ A. Simple ways of achieving strong relationships with a baby.‎ B. Examples of the results of lacking string relationships.‎ C. Findings of other similar project concerning this topic.‎ D. Reasons for failing in building up string relationships with a child.‎ 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Here are six diet foods that can hurt your weight loss journey.‎ Diet soda.‎ ‎ 36 Drinking diet soda can make you likely to overeat.
