Teachers.BSince my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I'd got a permanent one.I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say "where are you going?" I rushed out of the house in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as nervous as if I were going on the stage. Finding the place quite easily, I tore up three flights of stairs, and swung breathlessly through a door which said "Enter without knocking, if you please."The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me, and I sat down on the edge of a chair. The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me. Then she questioned me in a low voice. I answered softly and started to feel helpless. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of job, so I felt I had to give her the idea of a widowed mother struggling against poverty. But I felt more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience or references. Suddenly, the telephone on her desk rang. While having a mysterious conversation, she kept looking at me. Then I heard her say:"In fact, I've got someone here who might suit." She wrote down a number, and my spirits rose as she held out the paper to me, saying: "Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. Cook a dinner for ten people tomorrow. Could you manage that, I wonder?""Oh, yes," said I never having cooked for more than four. Then I rushed out and called the lady - Miss Cathy. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. "Are you sure?" she kept saying. Anyway she decided to employ me and a permanent position if I carried out the promise of my self-praise. I asked her what tomorrow's menu was to be."Just a small, simple dinner: lobster cocktail, soup, turbot Mornay, fruit salad and a savory." In a rather shaken voice I promised to turn up in good time tomorrow and rang off.35. Why did the author decide to look for a job on her own?A.

Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson added.39. What do the first two paragraphs imply?A. Children in the US are tired of watching TV.B. Watching TV can help children to loose weight.C. Younger children watch more TV than older ones.D. More TV viewing is harmful to children's health.40. In average, the time American children spend watching TV _.A. is more than four hours a dayB. is less than four hours a dayC. has doubled in the last twenty yearsD. is more than doing any other things41. The researchers made sure the students didn't change their diet in order to _.A. keep them from getting too heavyB. enable them to do more exercisesC. reduce their time watching TVD. make their findings more believable42. According to the passage, why can watching TV increase kids' weight?A. They usually eat more while watching TV.B. They change their diet while watching TV.C. They burn off more calories while watching TV.D. They don't want to take exercise while watching TV.DA recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies a disease with no known cure.Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”43. The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show _.A. where Americans keep their petsB. what costly lives the pets are livingC. why children love their pets so muchD. how much pets depend on their masters44. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means _.A. getting quite hot B. feeling overwhelmingly angryC. becoming excited D. receiving a fashionable shirt45. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?A.Pet. B.
