Allow me to introduce you to Terry, a window salesman from England. If I could take you back about 20 years, you’d know Terry as a complete green hand, who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted. A person couldn’t sell false teeth to his own Granny, let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry. You know, the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos.
Terry’s boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day. So off he went, but he was extremely nervous. With his hands and his knees shaking, he approached the front door and knocked at is. And old woman appeared. After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits, the woman signed a contract and purchased over $7,000 worth of windows.
The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week, all of whom offered her cheaper ones! That’s right---Terry’s price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was.
So, what happened then? Here comes the secret. The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others. That’s all there was to it. She didn’t care about the extra expense. Even the other salesmen couldn’t persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for.
The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman’s talk. First impressions count, not the sales techniques, not the low prices. The actual “personality” the kid honestly gave was all that was required. If you market your own products and services, consider what impression you are giving to others. If you appeal to them, then you’ve already done half of the work. If this means redesigning your presentation, then so be it. If this means going out of your way to be polite, helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers, the so be it.
1.When Terry was offered the job of salesman, he .
A. was good at sales techniques
B. was too young to do it
C. was believed in by his boss
D. knew little about sales skills
2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 suggests that .
A. Terry couldn’t trade with Eskimos
B. Terry loved his Granny more
C. Terry was too honest to do the job
D. Terry was afraid to compete
3.What made the young lad succeed in selling the window to the old woman?
A. Being honest and childish.
B. First impression of good personality.
C. High quality and expensive window.
D. Strange ways of sales.
4.The passage is most likely written to .
A. new salesmen
B. general readers
C. window makers
D. new graduates

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.
Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(認(rèn)知的) task to another, something that’s known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.
Gold’s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didn’t. The study only looked at life-long bilinguals, defined in study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.
Gold and his team asked 30 people, either bilingual or monolingual, to have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster, they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.
Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experiment”, because people grow up speaking two languages, and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.
Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion（專心）would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.
"Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous," he said. "Actually, it's beneficial.”
1. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast.
B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.
C. Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.
D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Older bilinguals can’t respond faster in mind.
B. Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals.
C. Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old can respond faster than those who don't.
D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.
3. In Gold’s opinion, learning a second language in childhood is______.
A．dangerous to children
B. not beneficial to children
C. dangerous but beneficial to children
D. not dangerous but beneficial to children

Dear Diary,
Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained, “ He was lucky to find other one.” His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate , my school or just everything else I love in the world. To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am awfully tiring, but I know I will never fall sleep.
Good night and remember, you, dear diary, is my only souvenir from my past life and my only friend.
Yours,
Rosemary

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年廣東梅州蕉嶺縣蕉嶺中學(xué)高一下第一次質(zhì)檢英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry(產(chǎn)業(yè))there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(調(diào)味品).
Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(劇本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.
Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戲裝) and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.
1.What is Not True about Mumbai?
A. It is the movie capital of India.
B. The new name is Bombay.
C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.
2.Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?
A. They have spicy stories.
B. They show Indian culture.
C. They mix different styles of movies.
D. They are much longer than Hollywood films.
3.Bollywood movies are cheap to make because_______
A. the scripts are written by hand.
B. they are shorter than Hollywood films.
C. the movies do not use any special effects(特效).
D. some movie reuses things from other movies.

Last weekend’s concert, organized and performing by the students of the Welsh Community College, was great success. The student had been practicing for months for the concert. They were excited that when they heard Gareth Jones was coming to present the prizes. Over 100 young performers play a mixture of jazz, classical or folk music. One of the highlights were 14-year-old Megan Evans, playing traditional Welsh folk songs. The concert ended with a very loud pop tune and anyone in the hall stood up and danced with the music. It was a magically atmosphere and a wonderful evening.
