The greatest saleswoman in the world today doesn’t mind if you call her a girl. That’s because Markita Andrews has got more than eight thousand dollars selling Girl Scout cookies since she was seven years old.Going door-to-door after school, the terribly shy Markita changed herself into the cookie-selling dynamo (高手) .It starts with great wish.
For Markita and her mother, whose husband left them when Markita was eight years old, their dream was to travel the world. “I’ll work hard to make enough money to send you to college,” her mother said one day. “When you leave college, you’ll make enough money to take you and me around the world. Okay?”
So at the age of 13 when Markita read in her Girl Scout magazine that the Scout (童子军) who sold the most cookies would win a free trip for two around the world, she decided to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could—more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.
Wish, however, alone is not enough. To make her dream come true, Markita knew she needed a plan.
“When you are doing business, wear your Girl Scout clothes when you go up to people in their building, ” her aunt told her. “Always smile, whether they buy something or not and always be nice.”
Lots of other Scouts may have wanted that trip around the world, but only Markita went off in her own uniform each day after school, ready to ask—and keep asking—people to help in her dream.
Markita sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip around the world. Since then, she has sold more than 42,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
Markita is no cleverer than thousands of other people, with dreams of their own. The difference is that many people fail before they even begin. They fear (恐惧) that they will be refused. This fear leads many of us to refuse ourselves and prevents us from getting where we have set off for long before anyone else ever has the chance—no matter what we are selling.
“It takes courage (勇气) to ask for what you want,” she said. “Courage is not that you don’t have fear. It means doing what it takes although you have a fear of it”.
1 . From the passage we learn that ________.
A . a good planning is the most important in the job of selling
B . Markita took the free trip around the world herself
C . Markita has a full-time selling job now
D . to do something successfully, we should do what is needed

The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages. Computers have changed our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced (确信) that they have some rare incurable (难以治愈的) disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen (肿胀的) . Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee (保证) accurate self-health-checks.
One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms (症状) fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed (确认) it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核) -something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it typically. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited.
1 . Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ________.
A . she thought she knew it well B . she had bought medicine online
C . she graduated from a medical school D . she had been treated by local doctors
2 . It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ________.
A . to have contacted many friends B . to have her disease identified in time
C . not to go to the doctor for years D . to have become well in a short time
3 . Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” ( Para. 7 ) because ________.
A . she had distrusted her close friends B . she had to refuse the doctor’s advice
C . she had caused unnecessary trouble D . she had to tell the truth to the doctor
4 . By telling “the computer was not working” ( the last paragraph ) , the writer probably wants to show ________.
A . it’s a must to take a break at work B . it’s important to believe in IT professionals
C . it’s a danger to work long hours on computers D . it’s unwise to simply depend on technology
1 . A
2 . B
3 . C
