She began to write her own stories when she was only seven. She took classes in politics, history, law and writing .In 1926, she traveled to the United States and decided she would never leave. She also decided to change her name to “Ayn Rand.” Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. Throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition.‎ Then, in1943, Rand's famous book “The Fountainhead” was published. It took her seven years to write the novel. Twelve publishers rejected the book. However, a man named Archibald Ogden loved the story and convinced the Bobbs-Merrill company to publish it.“The Fountainhead” became a huge success around the world. It has sold more than six million copies. It continues to sell about one hundred thousand copies each year.‎ ‎“The Fountainhead” tells the story of a young building designer named Howard Roark. Roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. However, most people only want to see traditional designs. Roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. But he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. Several people work against Roark and his goals. But in the end, Roark succeeds.‎ ‎“The Fountainhead” is an unusual novel for many reasons. It is more than 700 pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. More importantly, it also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. Most critics did not like “The Fountainhead”. But readers loved it. In 1949,it was made into a popular movie.‎ She lived quietly in New York City until she died in 1982. She is still one of the most loved,‎ ‎ and hated, American thinkers and writers.‎ 1.

Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your "lucky fortune" on the slip of paper inside.‎ The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with "thank you" notes in them. These "thank you" notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in ‎ America.‎ There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L.A. is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.‎ Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day—an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being "too American."‎ So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.‎ 1. What do we know about fortune cookies？‎ A. They are as popular in China as in America.‎ B. They contain slips of paper with good wishes.‎ C. They first appeared in America during WWII.‎ D. They are often charged to the customers’ bill.‎ 2. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco？‎ A. To make profit.‎ B. To express gratitude.‎ C. To uplift people’s spirits.‎ D. To help people out of hardship.‎ 3. Which of the following sentences may be found Jung’ s cookies？‎ A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.‎ B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.‎ C. I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.‎ A. Only taste fortune cookies；disregard all others. ‎ ‎31．What can be a suitable title for the text？‎ A. Symbol of Chinese Culture B. Chinese Restaurants in America C. Can fortune cookie tell your fortune？‎ D. Fortune cookie, Chinese or American？‎ D It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.‎ Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense. It takes the most cool－headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.‎ However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.‎ Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the road man ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.‎ 32. The passage mainly talks about .‎ A. Road politeness B. Traffic jams C. Good manners D. Modern drivers 33. Troubles on the road are often caused by .‎ A. great speed B. traffic jams C. terrible road conditions D. the behavior of the drivers 32. According to the writer, a good driver should .‎ A. beat back when forced to face rude driving B. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it C. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to 33. It is not always right for drivers to .‎ A. master roadman ship B. create atmosphere of good will C. encourage old ladies to cross the road D. give a friendly nod to show politeness 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We all have the ability to make friends. 36 Making friends is a skill, and the first step in developing that skill is knowing how to get along with others.
