It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues（同事）turned to me and said, “Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.” At my request, he answered, “Because the students you have got to know have to leave.”
As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague’s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn’t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my present one, though I have more education and have worked for over 10 years. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired, I thanked him, but refused his kind offer.
A few days before this graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class – not about math, but about life – would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with a deeper sense of satisfaction – I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
【小題1】Hearing his colleague’s description of graduation for the first time, the author ______.

A．quite agreed with his colleagueB．was very puzzled
C．thought it very funnyD．was very sad
【小題2】The computer science student called the author because he ______.
A．wanted to inform the author of his present job
B．wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
C．tried to persuade the author to work with him
D．thought the author wasn’t fit to be a teacher
【小題3】The underlined phrase blue hats and gowns refers to ______.
A．the new graduatesB．the university colleagues
C．life memoriesD．decorations in the hall
【小題4】We can learn from the text that the author ______.
A．was only a young professor
B．didn’t do well in his work
C．taught his students more about life than math
D．was content with the job as a teacher

Few of us make money by losing sleep．But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation （睡眠不足）．
Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown's business and engineering schools．They began thinking about ways to sleep better．They discovered they weren't alone in burning the midnight oil．Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night．
The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative （有回復(fù)作用的） stages of the sleep cycle: REM （rapid eye movement） and deep sleep．What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists．
Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009．The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors （傳感器） that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states- REM, light, deep and waking sleep．The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you're not in REM sleep （which is when you're least groggy）．In the morning you can upload the data to the company's Web site, and so track your sleep over time．Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo's ZQ score showing how well you've slept．
"Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep," says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO．
Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm．
For now the company is selling Zeo online only．Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels．
【小題1】Who will support Zeo?

A．People full of imagination．B．People suffering sleeping problems．
C．People having access to the Internet．D．People having bad lifestyles．
【小題2】Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?
A．To wake them up on time in the morning．
B．To earn enough money for their study．
C．To improve the quality of people's sleep．
D．To enjoy their life while working at night．
【小題3】To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students ____．
A．spent much time and moneyB．were widely supported by scientists
C．worked by themselves all the timeD．a(chǎn)ttracted many investors
【小題4】What can we know from the passage?
A．Zeo has a direct effect on users' lifestyles．
B．It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better．
C．A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia．
D．Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person．

When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Rivera, the stresses (壓力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something.

Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (評論家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere--- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.

Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.

Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.

As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.

1.What is most difficult for Jarolim?

A．Working in different places to collect information.

B．Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.

C．Finishing her work as soon as possible.

D．Passing a test to write travel guides.

2.What do we know about Jarolim from the text?

A．She is successful in her job.

B．She finds her life full of stresses.

C．She spends half of her time traveling.

D．She is especially interested in museums.

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A．Adventures in Travel Writing

B．Working as a Food Critic

C．Travel Guides on the Market

D．Vacationing for a Living
