Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down.   【小題1】 You have no mobile phone. What should you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you.   【小題2】  It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone.  【小題3】  We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are.   【小題4】
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile.   【小題5】  here are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

A:It is a device(裝置) which uses satellites to find the user’s position.
B: For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
C:It is night and it is cold.
D: There are three parts to the Global Positioning System.
E: You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket.
F:They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精確的).

【小題3】E
【小題4】B
【小題5】F

解析試題分析：這篇短文介紹GPS定位系統(tǒng)。它可以在20米內(nèi)搜尋到你的位置，非常方便。有些裝置還置有電子地圖，并預(yù)測(cè)了為來(lái)的定位系統(tǒng)將會(huì)非常普及。

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first , mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to new things, because when you are trying new things your are growing. If you never try new things , how can you improve ? How can you create? The simple answer is, “ You can’t .” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this : when your are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this： Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally , when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way , but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited. (有限的)
There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.

One Sunday afternoon, I went shopping at Wal-Mart . But I never thought I would have a life ­changing experience at WalMart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I looked towards the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going？” But he did something different—he listened to people carefully and then he would reply to what they had said
I thought it was strange. I has grown used to people asking me how I was doing simply out of conversational habit. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply, “Have a great day！”
But that wasn't the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter (柜臺(tái)), and hugged them with his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”
The smiling looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name—Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton (沃爾瑪?shù)膭?chuàng)始人)had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

【小題1】The underlined word “customer” mean________ in Chinese.

A．營(yíng)業(yè)員 B．顧客 C．經(jīng)理 D．供貨商

A．there were some big purchases
B．the writer was not patient enough
C．the cashier couldn't work as fast as others
D．the cashier did more than scanning the items
【小題3】According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going？” ________．
A．they don’t really care what you may answer
B．they are just practicing their conversation ability
C．they are asking for your personal information
D．they don’t expect to hear any answers
【小題4】What do you think of the cashier-Marty?
A．clever and imaginative B．strange andstubborn
C．kind and sincere D．practical and creative
【小題5】What does the writer want to express through the text?
A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
C．Being different is a good way of doing business
D．A little positive (積極的)action can make a big difference.

Do you know something about the Akuapem people? They live in eastern Ghana (加納), where the sunshine hugs all the time. They are very friendly. Now let’s have a look at how the Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, for the host (主人) thinks that the visitor must have come from a very long trip and is in need of water. Then the host family greet the visitor by saying “Akwaaba.” More interestingly, if there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because the left hand is regarded dirty according to the Akuapem people.
Next, the visitor is asked how his trip was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and children, especially girls, are cooking food for the visitor. The visitor can choose the food. After the visitor has finished eating, the host and the visitor continue their conversation. Usually this is a short one since the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food to take along. He is also accompanied (陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
No matter if he is a close friend or just a passer-by (過(guò)路人), this is always the way that the friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.

Xiao Jing, a Beijing girl took home a cup of iced tea for her father after having supper at McDonald’s. But when the father happily started to drink his daughter’s gift, he found that there was a filter tip (過(guò)濾嘴) inside it. Xiao Jing and her father got very angry.
This is not the first time that McDonald’s has let Chinese customers down. According to a CCTV program on World Consumer Rights Day(消費(fèi)者權(quán)益保護(hù)日) on March 15, a McDonald’s restaurant in Beijing sold chicken wings 90 minutes after they were cooked. The company’s rules set a 30-minutes limit. What’s more, some workers changed desserts’ expiration dates (保質(zhì)期) or even put them into a new bag or box to sell them again.
McDonald’s China released a letter of apology on their official micro blog (微博) soon after the program. “McDonald’s China pays great attention to this. We will immediately look into this accident, deal with it seriously and take practical actions to apologize (道歉) to consumers. We’ll try our best to provide healthy and safe food,” the letter said.
We all need to learn how to fight for our rights and interests. Here are some tips:
1. Learn some of the differences between real and fake, fresh and overdue (過(guò)期的) products.
2. Get the invoices（發(fā)票）for all your goods and services.
3. If you find there’s a problem with your goods, call 12315 or go to your local Consumer Association (消費(fèi)者協(xié)會(huì)) for help.
【小題1】Why did Xiao Jing and her father angry?

A．Because the drink was not fresh.

A．McDonald’s has made Chinese customers happy
B．McDonald’s has disappointed(使…失望) Chinese customers
C．Chinese customers don’t like McDonald’s food
D．Chinese customers think McDonald’s doesn’t provide good service
【小題3】What does the word “fake” mean in Chinese?
A．假的 B．優(yōu)秀的

A．Learn the differences between real and fake products.
B．Ask for invoices after getting goods or services.
