She had four kids under the age 9, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra weekend hours as a waitress. There were times when she lay in bed and cried. She didn’t know how she could pay that bill. But she knew she must find a way to change her life.‎ She knew how hard it was to mop(拖) the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting ‎ my hands in dirty water and wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mariah says. “So, I got a better way.” How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool. You could twist in two directions and still keep your hands clean and dry.‎ She set out to sell her mops, but the mops didn’t sell well at the market. Then Mariah met with the media. But would people buy a mop by reading an advertisement? They gave it a try, and it failed. Mariah was sure it would sell well if they let her do the on-camera show. “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great thing,” said Mariah. So QVC let her have a try. “I got on the stage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”‎ Today Mariah is the president of ingenious designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about her household inventions is as natural for her it is for parents to talk about their child.‎ Today one of her favorite products is Huggable Hangers(衣架). The thin, space-saving tools are the most successful goods ever sold on HSN, with 100 million hanging out in closets across the country.‎ ‎56．According to Paragraph 1, Mariah _______.‎ A. had no way to take care of her children B. lived a hard life but she didn’t give up C. was depressed for she couldn’t pay the bill D. did a part-time job every day to support her family ‎57．What was the secret of Mariah’s success?‎ A.

She knew the needs of the market ‎58．From the passage we know that HSN__________.‎ A. is a famous TV station B. is run by Mariah C. sells some home-use goods D. makes people show goods on the stages ‎59．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.‎ A. Mariah loves her career very much B. Huggable Hangers is Mariah’s best invention C. one cannot succeed without the help of others D. Mariah is very popular in her country ‎ B ‎ In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury（奢侈品）brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It's clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image（自我形象）.‎ ‎ I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don't understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.‎ ‎ When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that's a scary(frightening) thing.‎ ‎ What's interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn't lead to happiness.‎ ‎ Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don't suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University‎ of ‎Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That's because experiences are more easily integrated into a person's identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.‎ ‎ Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue（追求）happiness through "things" are liked less by their peers（同龄人）.People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.‎ ‎ It's natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So, my advice is: create a look that isn't tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These ‎ people.successful people,have style.You don't have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.‎ ‎ Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.‎ ‎ By Susan Chyn ‎60．What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?‎ A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.‎ B. The author sees no point in spending money on material things.‎ C. The author is critical（批判）of youths tying their looks to designer labels.‎ D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.‎ ‎61．What did Leaf Van Boven's studies show?‎ A. Traveling changes a person's identity greatly B. People dislike those who love luxuries C. Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D. Luxuries have a negative effect on people's happiness ‎62．What's the author's advice on expressing oneself?‎ A. Be selective about designer labels.‎ B. Create your own personal, unique style.‎ C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.‎ D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.‎ ‎63．What is the main purpose of the article?‎ A. To persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries.‎ B. To prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life.‎ C. To tell how to express yourself through appearances.‎ D. To report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness.‎ ‎ C ‎ A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower.

Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes. “Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this reading room,” said Zhang Shuran, the person responsible for the project at the university.‎ ‎ Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The hags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room."Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there's a call," said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room, Hu Xiaopeng from College‎ of ‎Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time.Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though feeling somewhat surprised, Hu said," It's bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying."‎ ‎ The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was launched a week ago. Some Internet users praised the campaign. One user named Liu Jingchang said," It's good. I don’t bring my phone when going to the library in case I get distracted."‎ ‎67．Why is the reading room opened in Chongqing‎ ‎City?‎ A. To prevent students using mobile phones in the library.‎ B.
