浙江师范大学成教学士学位外语考试模拟试卷(一)
Part I: Reading Comprehension. (40%)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is fol1owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One:
Questions l to 5 are based on the following passage:
Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat. When a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of housing, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied.
Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the“1ife-enriching”1eve1. While the other levels involve physica1 satisfaction, this leve1 stresses mental needs for achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services,many of which could be ca11ed“1uxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medica1 and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in c1othing. 0n the fourth leve1, a lot of money is spent on services,while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance,crime, and prejudice. After fi11ing our stomachs, our clothes c1osets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fu11y the good things on the first four levels.
1. According to the passage, man wi11 begin to think about such needs as housing and c1othing only when_ .
A) he has saved up enough money
B) he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C) he has satisfied his hunger
D) he has learned to build houses
2. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans .
A) were very rich B) lived in poverty
C) had the good things on the first three levels
D) did not own automobiles
3. Which of the fo11owing is NOT related to“physica1 satisfaction”?
A)A successfu1 career. B)A comfortable home.
C)A good mea1. D)A family car.
4. What is the main concern of man on the fourth leve1?
A) The more goods the better.
B) The more menta1 satisfaction the better.
C) The more“1uxury” items the better.
D) The more earnings the better.
5. The author tends to think that the fifth leve1 .
A) would be little better than the fourth leve1
B) may be a 1ot more desirable than the first four
C) can be the last and most satisfying leve1
D) can be achieved best by community action
Passage2
Questions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:
There are two factors which determine an individua1's inte11igence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individua1 wi11 have a low order of inte11igence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individua1 is handicapped environmenta11y, it is likely that his brain wi11 fai1 to develop and he wi11 never reach the leve1 of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individua1's inte1ligence can
be shown by the case history of the identica1 twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by parents of 1ow inte11igence in an isolated community with poor educationa1 opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of we11-to-do parents who had been to co11ege. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated inte1lectua11y. This environmenta1 difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their inte11igence. Mark's I.Q. was125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fu11y forty points higher than his identica1 brother. Given equa1 opportunities, the twins, having identica1 brains, would have tested at roughly the same leve1.
6. This selection can best be titled .
A) Measuring Your Intelligence
B) Inte1ligence and Environment
C) The Case of Peter and Mark
D) How the Brain Influences Inte11igence
7. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that .
A) human brains differ considerably
B) the brain a person is born with is important in determining his inte11igence
C) environment is important in determining a person's intelligence
D) persons having identica1 brains wi11 have roughly the same inte11igence
8. According to the passage, the average LQ. Is .
A) 85 B)100 C)110 D)125
9. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that .
A) individuals with identica1 brains seldom test at the same leve1
B) an individua1's inte11igence is determined only by his environment
C) lack of opportunity b1ocks the growth of inte11igence
D) changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
10. This passage suggests that an individua1's I.Q. .
A) can be predicted at birth
B) stays the same throughout his life
C) is determined by his childhood
D) can be increased by education
Passage3
Questions ll to 15 are based on the following passage:
You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you 1ost a great dea1 of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could ki11 you.
There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and 0. A simple test can indicate a person's blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefu11y. Basica11y, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often ca11ed the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called universa1 recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usua11y receive only salt or plasma(1iquid) unti1 their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among
Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
11. If the blood is too different from your own in blood transfusion, .
A) it may save you B) it has no effect
C) it could ki11 you D) it is very safe
12. People with type B blood can receive blood type_ .
A)AB B) B C)A D)both B and O
13. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is .
A) type AB
B) exactly the same type as yours
C) a mixture of salt, plasma, and type O
D) either A or O
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) There is no relationship between blood and nationality.
B) Almost all of some American Indian groups have type O.
C) Blood type isn't inherited from parents.
D)Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, the rarest is type O.
15. The passage is mainly about .
A) the relationship between blood and nationality
B) transfusion
C) human blood types
D) blood and gene
Passage4
Questions l6 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C.. I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once unfamiliar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more that just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living n .the windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heart breaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”

D.C.?

.
A) seemed unfit to live in

The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irritable, although this method of selecting ought not to be fo11owed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become 1ost in some book or other, and usua11y it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment--- without buying a book, of course.
The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main
attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant wi11 approach you with the greeting:“Can I help you, sir?” You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background unti1 you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and 1ook as if he is not interested in se11ing a single book.

Passage Four

The best way to improve your vocabulary is through reading. The successful
person reads a lot.
We learn nearly al1 of our active vocabulary through context, and usually through context in reading. We learn what a new word means from the words and sentences around it. Only once in a while do we give up and look up the word in a dictionary. But this is not laziness; it's a good way to learn. Words that we learn through their use in context are much more likely to stay with us than words we memorized by themselves, as in a list or in a dictionary if we are prone(易于…的) to read a dictionary.
The words we learn through reading wil1 improve not just our reading vocabulary but our listening, speaking and writing vocabulary as we11. It is these four types of vocabulary that have a direct impact upon our daily lives. They control how well we understand what we hear and read and how well we speak and write.

Part V Translation from English into Chinese (15%,3 points each)
Directi0ns: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 81 t0 85 After reading the passage carefu11y, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Answer Sheet.
81.0f a11 the wonders of the universe. the most striking,perhaps,is life itself.
Just what is life? There is no direct answer. We know, of course, that some things are living and others are nonliving. 82.How do you tell whether one thing is living and the other is nonliving?
One important difference is that practically all living things are made up largely of a complex substance called protoplasm, which is arranged in units known as cells. To study protoplasm is to study life. All the activities of living things take place in this substance.
A second point of difference between living and nonliving things is that living things display irritability. 83. By this we mean that they respond to changes in the environment.
84. Living things again differ from nonliving things in the way of growth. Things that are nonliving can grow only by accretion. On the other hand, a living thing, like a child, develops by taking into its body food that is chemically different from itself, changing this food chemically and making it a part of itself
85. Finally, living things have the ability to reproduce their kind.Nonliving things do not have this property.

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage
You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However. Special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood: A, B,AB and O. A simple test can indicate a person’s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair co1or and height,is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type. the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called universal recipient.However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions. patients usua1ly receive only salt or plasma(1iquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way. it is possible to avoid-any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestr1y. about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages.For example,some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

Passage2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage
Fast-food restaurants are very popular in the United States. They are popular because the service is fast and the prices are low. 0f all the fast-food restaurants. McDonald’s is probably the most famous and the most popular.
McDonald’s is popular for several reasons. Customers can get the same food at any McDonald’s in any state or country. The employees are helpful and polite, and the tables and f1oors are clean. Ray Kroc, past president of McDonald’s, believed that helpful emp1oyees,a clean restaurant,and good food were necessary.
And McDonald’s customers do like the food. They like the sandwiches, the milk
Shakes,and the French fries. Of all the items on McDonald’s menu,the French fries are probably the most popular. They are good because of their specia1 preparation.
McDonald’s is a big business. But it is not too big or too rich to help ordinary people. For example. owners of restaurants participate in special community programs for children or senior citizens. The corporation owns special houses for sick children and their parents. Sometimes a child had to stay at a hospital for several weeks or months. Then the child's parents can stay at Ronald McDonald house. It is cheaper than staying at hotels,and the atmosphere is friendlier and more homelike.
People don't go to McDonald's because of community programs or Ronald
McDonald houses. They go because of the food. the fast service, and the low prices. They are like David Green. He says,“McDonald’s is my favorite place to eat in the whole world. l wouldn’t move to any town that didn’t have one.”

Passage3
Questions ll to 15 are based on the following passage
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow. Orange, red? If you do, you
must be an optimist,a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us among other facts. that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up--we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes. or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Colors do influence our moods--there is no doubt about it. A yellow room
makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 0n the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active, It is an established fact that factory workers work better. harder. and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
11. The author regards the physiologists findings as_ .
A)groundless B)unnecessary C)reasonable D)great

A) people tend to kill themselves by jumping from the bridges
B) color of the bridges can affect people to a great degree
C) the bridge should have been repainted earlier
D) color can kill people sometimes

Passage4
Questions l6 to 20 are based on the following passage
One of the things I am rea1ly fond of is the weekly shopping experience. I like to imagine pushing the trolley slowly around the supermarket and taking anything that interests me. But my experience is not always exciting.
First it is necessary to get a shopping trolley. Carefully designed not only to hold al1 shapes and sizes of purchases. a single tro1ley is hard to get out of the line of trolleys where it is parked. Often one needs the help of two strong men.
The next lesson is that women never follow a logica1 route when shopping. Your wife has disappeared before you know it. After ten minutes of searching. when you finally find her in a far comer. she inquires: “Where have you been. dear? ”
Supermarket managers are sent on courses to learn how to tempt the customers and persuade them to buy goods they do not really need. at prices they are not able to afford. As a newcomer,I am often taken in by their clever techniques, as I take many goods off the shelves. But I am often discouraged by my wife.“Put it back, dear. You’ve tried that before and didn't take to it.” “No,it’s too expensive.”
After the week’s groceries have been collected. The last trial is passing through the checkout counter. Never join the shortest queue. It usually contains several shoppers who pay by writing out a personal cheque and who wait until all their purchases have been totaled up before beginning a mad search through their handbags for their cheque-books. When the book is found, the customer never knows the date, asks again for the forgotten total and forgets to put the address on the back. Don’t be fooled, either, by thinking that this is the end of the exercise. When the cheque has been carefully examined by the cashier. a bell rings, and there is a further wait until a supervisor arrives to say that the cheque can be accepted.
16. The author enjoys the weekly shopping experience because_ _.
A) the checkout girls are always quick and efficient
B) the people who are packing their shopping are very friendly
C) it makes him feel that he can take whatever he’s interested in

C) They are designed to hold goods of different sizes and shapes.
D) They are parked in lines for customers to take.
18. The shortest queue often moves slower because_ .
A) it means the checkout girl is less efficient
B) there are usually some customers who pay by writing out a cheque
C) customers there are generally more forgetful
D) most customers tend to join that queue
19. When you write out a cheque, you must do the following EXCEPT_ _.
A) getting the permission from the supervisor
B) putting your address on the back of the cheque
C) writing the date when you sign your cheque

Sophia Stella is one of many undergraduates who become involved. one way or
another. in research performed at the university. Some do it for academic credit. Some for money,some just for experience.81.Students and professors agree that an undergraduate research project can be uniquely beneficial to both parties.
82.Ideally,undergraduate research is an opportunity for the kind of intensive study
That can expand the mind in ways traditional courses can’t.Economics Professor
Ralph Edison says: “To rea1ly understand a discipline you have to get the feeling that knowledge isn't just out there and you passively have to absorb it, but rather that it's constantly being created and were constantly rethinking things….” 83. He points out that research can be exciting because a research project really gives students an opportunity to answer real-life questions that we don’t know the answers to.
84.Research also spurs independent thinking and intellectual confidence in students. Amelia, a graduate student in computer science. says,“You had to go out and learn on your own. You weren't going to be spoon-fed.” Her fond memories of work as an undergraduate researcher played an important role in her decision to leave her Wall Street programming job and return to Columbia as a graduate student.
Arthur Hannah. a political science graduate of Columbia College says
undergraduate research“felt like a whole new mode of learning.” 85. Instead of
for the knowledge we do have ,he say, research forces students to look for
Know1edge we don’t have. It's a process of looking for holes and trying to plug them, which is completely different from the classroom experience of learning what others already know.

Part I Reading Comprehension (40%,2 points each)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions l to 5 are based on the following passage:
Now Harriet Beecher Stowe is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that details the harshness of plantation life in the south. The book was extremely popular in the United States as well as in other countries.
Ironically though, for the attention given to Uncle Tom's Cabin, it is far from Stowe's best work. She did write one other novel about life in the south. But much of her best work has nothing to do with the south at all. In fact, Stowe's best writing is about village life in the New England states in the 19th century. In recording the customs of the villages she wrote about, Stowe claimed that her purpose was to reflect the image as realistically as possible. She usually succeeded, for her settings were often described accurately and in detail. In this sense, she was an important forerunner to the realistic movement that became popular later in the 19th century. She was one of the first writers to use local dialect for her characters when they spoke. And she did this for thirty years before Mark Twain popularized the use of local dialect. It makes sense that Stowe would write about New England life, since she was born in Connecticut. As a young woman there, she worked as a teacher. The teaching job helped lead her to her first published work, a geography book for children. Later, when she was married, her writing helped to support her family financially. Throughout her life, she wrote poems, travel books, biographical sketches and children’s books as well as novels for adults.
1. What is Stowe best known for, according to the passage?
A.A novel named Uncle Tom's Cabin. B. The harshness of the plantation.
C. Works about the south. D. Works about the village life.
2. What is Stowe's best writing mainly about?
A. Village life in the south. B. Customs of the south.
C. Village life in the New England states. D. The civil war.
3. What was her purpose to record the customs of the villages she wrote about?
A. To reflect the image as realistically as possible.
B. To introduce the customs to foreigners.
C. To recall the past in detail.
D. To reveal the darkness in the society.
4. Why was Stowe an important forerunner for realistic movement?
A. Because she wrote about village life in her best works.
B. Because she was the first one to use local dialect for her characters in her works.
C. Because she wrote about the customs of the villages with a bit imagination.
D. Because he settings were often described actually and in detail.
5. Why did Stowe write about New England life?
A. Because she did not like the life the south.
B. Because she was born in the south and was tired of the life there.
C. Because she was a teacher.
D. Because she was familiar with the life there.
Passage2 Questions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:
Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but-regardless of whether it is or isn't-we won't do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.
Al Gore calls global warming an“inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and-without major technological breakthroughs-we can't do much about it.
From 2003 to 2050, the world's population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions(mainly, C02) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that's too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world's poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions are more than double by 2050.
No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom(limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they're“doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't. But it hasn't reduced C02 emissions(up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories(签字国) didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.
The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.
The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it's really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don't solve the engineering problem, we're helpless.
6. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?
A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all.
B. It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments.
C. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.
D. Very little will be done to bring it under control.
7. According to the author's understanding, what is Al Gore's view on global
warming?
A. It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of.
B. It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences.
C. It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized.
D. It is an area we actually have little knowledge about.
8. Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of .
A. economic growth
B. wastefu1 use of energy
C. the widening gap between the rich and poor
D. the rapid advances of science and technology
9. The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, .
A. politicians have started to do something to better the situation
B. few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use
C. reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming
D. international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems
10. What is the message the author intends to convey?
A. Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one.
B. The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology.
C. The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs.
D. People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming.
Passage3
Questions ll to l5 are based on the following passage:
In the 1940s, urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs for fresh air
and privacy. Living in the suburbs began to be popular. Since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhood in which they had lived. Thus, many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began to rise, and public transportation was neglected. At the same time, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay(衰退, 衰减), and little new housing were constructed.
Finally, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day they would be filled with people working in offices, and at night they would be deserted. Some business executives began asking,“Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so that we can live and work in the same area?” gradua11y some of the larger companies began moving out of cities, with the result that urban centers declined even further and the suburbs expanded still more.

A.In the 1960s. B.In the 1940s. C.In the 1970s. D.In the 1950s.

C. The poor. D. The young.
13. What happened to the city after the mass move?

Passage4
Questions l6 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the Green House where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging a“going out of business” sign at the green house, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of the town. She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas in offices.“I don't know anything about plants”, she said,“I am sure in a few weeks, they'll all be dead.” While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms that recently opened offices in the new office park and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove up to the office park. By 6 o'clock that evening, I had signed contacts with 7 companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked down to an agreement to lease(租得) the Green House from the owner's family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day we hope to be the proud owners of the Green House.

In the depth of my memory, many things I did with my father stil1 live. These
things come to represent, in fact, what I call _61_ and love.
I don't remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did
_62_ the water. Any kind of_63_ ride seemed to give him pleasure. _64 _he 1oved to fish; sometimes he took me a1ong.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being_65_ the water, moving through it, _66_ it all around me. I was not a strong _67_, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my_68 _. But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father's office and_69_ those summer days with my father, who_70_ come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the_71_ person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go_72_ his office and sit on the wooden chair in
front of his big desk, where he let me_73_ anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I left alone at his desk_74_ he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn't be playing with his_75_. But my father always _76_ and said easily,“Oh, no, It's_77_.”Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get_78_ an ice cream.
