• 2．Here is a real life story of The Tortoise and the Hare（《龜兔賽跑》）.
     Every year in Australia，the strongest long distance runners race more than 500 miles from Sydney to Melbourne.The race takes more than five days to complete.It attracts world-class athletes who become spokespeople for sneakers and sports drinks.
     In 1983，however，as the competitors lined up to race，they were joined by a 61-year-old farmer wearing overalls and work boots.His name was Cliff Young.The other runners mistook him for a spectator （觀眾）.He explained that on his family's sheep farm，he often had to round up 2，000 animals by himself. "Sometimes I had to run after those sheep for two or three days，I believe I can run this race， "he said.
     When the race began，the younger runners flew past Cliff.Instead of running after them，Cliff shuffled（拖著腳走） along in an unusual way.The other runners and the spectators thought he would never finish the race.But something happened.When all the other runners took a break to sleep，Cliff kept running.The other runners caught up to him each morning，but finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed.On the fifth day，he left all of the young，world-class athletes behind.He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record.
     Cliff received ﹩10，000 for winning the race.He said he did not realize there would be prize money，and he gave the money to his fellow- runners.Doing this made him a hero in Australia.Since then，many runners have used his shuffling stride.No one sleeps during the race anymore，eijye.air.The farmer changed long-distance racing and proved that age and style aren't everything.

• 3．Real financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion.It's easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursuit.Joseph Campbell once said，"Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls."
     In life，we'll always be found doing any of these two things：either making a living or making a difference.Pensions（養(yǎng)老金）and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities.A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.
     I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood.Rather，it should be a means to fuel our passion.The earlier you realize this basic truth of life，the more clearly you'll be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.
     The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken（KFC）shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension.Its founder，Colonel Harland Sanders，didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars.But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension.He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value.Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken，he invented "finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs.Despite much rejection，he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6，000 locations.Sanders' life pointed towards two facts about making a difference：one，there is no age that is too old to make a difference；two，there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with，as long as it is your passion.
  
  （1）How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2？

  
  A．By listing examples.
  B．By showing contrast.
  C．By including a quote.
  D．By sharing his experience.
  （2）How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check？

  
  A．Deeply moved.
  B．Pleasantly surprised.
  C．Greatly relieved.
  D．Internally motivated.
  （3）What does the author suggest we do？

  
  A．Pursue our passion.
  B．Get a well-paid job.
  C．Secure our position.
  D．Get career guidance.
  （4）What is the best title for this text？

  
  A．Passion or Pension？
  B．Following Your Dreams
  C．Working for Pension
  D．To Work or not to Work？

• 4．I'm in the area of Noailles in Marseille，F(xiàn)rance's second largest city and its main trade seaport.Some small shops sell vegetables，meat，and，it seems，all the spices of the Middle East.In addition to French，languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French.It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.
     Close to the downtown street，I discover an Algerian restaurant，whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley，not the usual wheat，using a recipe that hasn't changed since the 1920s.Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture.The dish was added to the UNESCO's Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.
     To be honest，before I travelled here，couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille.It was bouillabaisse，the rich soup with olive oil，garlic and saffron.I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe.This was clearly a romantic fantasy.For one thing，there are no small cafcs at historic city.For another，the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse，but when I see the price at one place I am shocked：69 euros!No bowl of soup should cost that much.
     I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant，Ourea.For 28 euros，Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.
     More and more young，talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live.There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year.Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities，the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.
     Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille.I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods- together，side，by，side，but not mixed.They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.
  
  （1）Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph？

  
  A．Remote.
  B．Commercial.
  C．Industrial.
  D．Inland.
  （2）What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant？

  
  A．The unreasonable charge.
  B．The unbearable flavor.
  C．The unsatisfying service.
  D．The noisy atmosphere.
  （3）Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities？

  
  A．To make a fortune.
  B．To experience a dish.
  C．To learn a language.
  D．To live a leisurely life.
  （4）In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text？

  
  A．Fashion.
  B．Food.
  C．Trade
  D．Travel.
