Interview with allan gray
I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s, and my brother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to set up a language school. I’d always wanted to work for myself, and I was a bit fed up with working for someone else, so I said yes. Primarily, I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions, I wanted room to be creative, and also I wanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if things went wrong. These things are not possible if you work as an employee in a large organization.
I had to borrow money to help start the business, but we were lucky because we also had some outside capital to put into the business. These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company, so we were fortunate. It was fairly easy to set up the business, because we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do. The problem was, all our preconceptions about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots of mistakes, and we almost went bankrupt at the beginning. At one point, we only had two students in the school.
Far too long. We lost money for the first four years and, as I was saying, we nearly went out of business. It took quite a long time to start making profit. The best thing we did, though, was that we hired some really good people to work for us. In fact, some of those people are still working for us, 24 years later. Now we’re doing well, but it was very risky at first.
One is financial constraint. It can be very tough. I think all small businesses problems-it often takes a long time to get paid by your customers. The and big problem is marketing. It takes a lot of funds to market your business, and you to get your name known and build a reputation. But the biggest challenge is the people. All businesses are about people, and you have to learn how to all kinds of people –and I think we’ve been extremely good at getting the best staff. 23. paragraph 1 24. paragraph 2 25. paragraph 3 26. paragraph 4
A. strategies in expanding a small business B. right people to run a business
C. time-consuming experience of being successful D. challenges of running a business E. difficulties in starting the business F. reasons for working for oneself
27. if you made a bad decision as a boss, you had
28. the difficult thing to start a business is to persuade banks 29. if you hire the right people, you’ll probably be able
30. besides financial and marketing challenges, you must know how
A. to lose your house B. to manage your employees C. to keep independent D. to lend you money
E. to take the responsibility for it F. to make profit

第1篇Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?
（为什么要购买蔽光生长的咖啡? 综合BC级均有）
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.
Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as \Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.
31. What is the main idea of this passage? 文章的主旨是

C.Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee. 蔽光生长的咖啡比向光生长的咖啡贵 D.People should buy shade-grown coffee. 人们应该买蔽光生长的咖啡
32. The function of the word \段落2中的traditionally 作用是来显示
A.the positive effects of coffee. 咖啡的积极作用 B.a change of coffee growth. 咖啡成长的变化 C.something that is the most important. 最重要的事情 D.how coffee production used to be. 过去如何生产咖啡 33. What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about? 阳光充足的咖啡增加的产量带来什么?
A. More insects.更多的昆虫 B. Better quality coffee.质量更好的咖啡 C. Larger farms. 更大的农场 D. Higher profits. 更高利润 34. How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee? 农民如何找更多的土地来种植阳光充足的咖啡

第2篇 The Values of Tear【眼泪的价值】 【出自综合教材补全第3篇，押中文章】
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection. Tears relieve stress，but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons.\emotions. They're afraid that once they lose control, they'll never get it back,\Rowe.\
Almost any emotion-good or bad, happy or sad-can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can't cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress the emotion.\has the need to cry，\says? psychotherapist Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. Diamond says it's best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. \doors, don't just cry,\
