A

One morning when I was 11， I explored the towns abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）. I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.

Inside， there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted， I noticed a shaft（升降机井）that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.

I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft， but stopped halfway. After a short panic attack， I noticed holes in the wall， forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old， I decided it would be better to go up than down. So， with shaking hands， I began climbing the wall.

After what seemed like forever， I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up， dusted myself off and found...absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this？ Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）， which Id always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it， and， much to my surprise， the thing worked！ It shot out a thick cloud of powder that quickly filled the room. I couldnt breathe. I was going to choke（窒息）to death， and theyd probably never even find my body.

Luckily， I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up， opened the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.

I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had disappeared， I climbed down and got out of the chained door. Im not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught， but I ran all the way back home.

“What is success？” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.

“Success is riding in a sweet car， watching an 80-inch TV， and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered， earning laughs from all the students.

Mr Gruber smiled， but shook his head. “Tom， that is excess（过量）. That is not success.”

“How about being able to provide for your family？” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.

“Now were getting closer，” Mr Gruber smiled， “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”

“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again， trying for more laughs.

Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe weve already talked about excess versus（与……比较）success.”

“Getting everything you need， but some of what you want？” James， sitting in the back wondered aloud.

“Quite right！” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want， the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess， though.”

“What does this have to do with business？” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasnt funny， he wasnt happy.

“Well， Tom， think of it this way： the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to（确保）their needs， you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”

“What if I dont have a family？” he continued to be difficult.

“Then you have to provide for yourself， a family of one.”

“He has goldfish to think about！” Peter， Toms friend， shouted out.

“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr Gruber corrected himself.

Tom nodded， satisfied with that answer.

“So in the next nine weeks， were going to study basic business situations， like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”

Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending？”

“You already are， Tom. Youre spending time with us！” Mr Gruber laughed. “Now， lets see what you guys know about credit cards...”

46. What did Mr Gruber teach？

A. History. B. Science. C. Maths. D. Business.

47. Who didnt seem to be taking the class seriously？

A. Tom. B. James. C. Peter. D. Sandy.

48. How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting？

A. He himself kept talking. B. He just read from a textbook.

C. He showed a movie to his students. D. He got his students to take part in discussions.

50. What can be the best title of this passage？

A. Get What You Want B. Needs and Wants

One day， a woman walked into a pet store    51    （buy） a bird for her Thanksgiving Day party. The guy said， “We only have one parrot. But I think you do not want it    52    it can talk...”

The woman said    53    （happy）， “Thats great. Ive always wanted a talking bird.”

So the guy said， “Since you are a nice lady， Ill give it to you as a gift.”

And the lady went home and put the bird on her bed and walked    54    of the room. But as soon as she walked into the kitchen， the bird started to speak dirty    55    （word） as loud as it could. The woman walked back into the room thinking， “I    56    （can） have this at my party！” So she took the bird and put it in the fridge.

A few hours later， while the woman    57    （eat）， she remembered that her bird was still in the fridge. Quickly， she opened the door and    58    （find） it was shivering. Then she took out the bird at once. She said to the bird， “Ill    59    （keep） you out of there if you dont use that language again. Do you agree with me？”

The bird nodded and asked， “Can I just ask a quick question？” The lady nodded and said， “Yes， you may.”

The bird pointed at the turkey behind him and asked， “    60    did he do？”
