Bruce Jones thinks there is still a healthy thirst for exploration into underwater worlds on our own planet. After growing up with his grandfather who was in the marine construction business, Jones quickly got a feel for the water. He started diving at age 9 and, by the 1980s, began offering advice for those interested in the submarine business. By 1993, he was running his own company, U．S. Submarines, which designed and built submarines for resorts and individuals.
Jones plans to spend $40 million in building a hotel where the most expensive rooms will be 50 feet under the sea off Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas. Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge — the only undersea hotel now, just off the coast of Key Largo, Fla. — guests at the Poseidon won't need to put on a wet suit to get to their rooms. They also won't need to worry about changing pressure levels since the rooms will be kept at above-surface pressure. Instead, they can move easily to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by escalator.
“I think there are a large number of people who would be interested，” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”
Each room will feature strong windows that look out onto coral gardens. There will be controls in each room that guests can use to change the lighting of the underwater worlds outside their windows and to provide food for fish swimming by.
“By now I envisioned (展望) we'd have whole underwater cities，” Craig Cooper, the director for the Aquarius research station said. “It's about time some of these visions became reality.”
1. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Bruce Jones?
a. Jones started running U．S. Submarines.
b. Jones began to learn to dive.
c. Jones planned to build an undersea hotel.
d. Jones began giving others advice on the submarine business.
A. a, b, c, d B. a, c, b, d
C. b, d, a, c D. b, a, c, d
2. We can learn from the second paragraph that the Jules Undersea Lodge________.
A. lies off Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas
B. is the first undersea hotel in the world
C. needn't provide wet suits for its guests
D. sends its guests to their rooms by lift
3. What do we know about Bruce Jones' undersea hotel from the passage?
A. It will be much cheaper than the Jules Undersea Lodge.
B. It has taken Jones $40 million to build it.
C. Guests in it will open the windows to give food to the fish.
D. Guests in it will see beautiful coral through the windows.
4. The underlined word “Poseidon” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. Bruce Jones' undersea hotel
B. Jules Undersea Lodge
C. an island off the coast of Key Largo
D. another name of Eleuthera Island
5. Judging by Cooper's words, his attitude towards underwater hotels is ________.
A. disappointed B. critical
C. objective D. hopeful

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on.”Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on，“the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course，”she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom.“I don't know how to use a computer，”she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this，” she says.“I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up—again—and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity.“Everybody on earth can ask,‘why me？’about something or other，”she insists.“It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
6. Why did Mary feel regretful?
A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
B. She didn't take care of her mother.
C. She didn't complete her high school.
D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.
7. We can know that before 1995 Mary________.
A. had two books published
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer
D. supported the JDRF by writing
8. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her ________.
A. living with diabetes
B. successful show business
C. service for an organization
D. remembrance of her mother
9. When Mary received the life-changing news, she ________.
A. lost control of herself
B. began a balanced diet
C. tried to get a treatment
D. behaved in an adult way
10. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Mary feels pity for herself.
B. Mary has recovered from her disease.
C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home, Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside, he doesn't take Cuddles out for walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw, who is blind.
When Shaw lost his sight, his wife suggested he apply for a guide dog. Shaw, an animal lover, said he couldn't bear to part with a dog (which usually lives about eight to ten years) and get used to a new one, perhaps several times in his life.
Then Shaw heard of a program about the tiny guide horses. He learned that the horse possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people. They are clean friendly, smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all, they live for 25-35 years, which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.f
Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles, he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.
Through training，Shaw and Cuddles learned to find way on busy streets, step over curbs(便道沿儿)and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even demonstrated(显示)its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him, to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.
