Soon after I started my career in business, I learned that Carl Weatherup , president of PepsiCo (百事可乐公司), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment. I was told, however, that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class. So there I was sitting outside the university's auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students… and talking, and talking. I became alarmed: his talk wasn't ending when it should have. He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes. Decision time. I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting. "You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 p.m." I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle (过道) toward him as he talked. Mr. Weatherup stopped. I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came. Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late. He thanked them for their attention, wished them luck and walked out to where I was now sitting, holding my breath, He looked at the card and then at me. "Let me guess," he said. "You're Jeff." He smiled. I began breathing again and we grabbed (霸占) an office right there at school and closed the door. He spent the following 30 minutes offering me his time, some wonderful stories that I still use, and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York. But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world. When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don't.

On April 22nd, 47 bulldogs(斗牛犬)gathered in Drake University and were given the title of “The World Most Beautiful Bulldogs”, which made them have the right to be the official mascot(吉祥物) of the 104th Drake Relays——the nation’s oldest and most famous track and field competition.

This year, the competition attracted over 100 bulldogs. However, only 50 were allowed to enter. The competitors, who trained hard for the title by taking naps in front of the television, got prepared and dressed for the big event.

Wrigley, a 4.5-year-old bulldog, has been trying to win the title ever since she was complete with leg warmers and the blue nails shone on her paws. Unfortunately, none of them won the title.

In America many have been told anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good Luck. Yet, when one becomes rich , he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich , he wants people to think that he is. That is what “Keeping up with the Joneses” means. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American, Arthur Momand, He told this story about himself. He began earning ﹩125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was proud of this. He got married and moved with his wife to a wealthy neighborhood outside New York. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, he went horse riding too. When he saw that rich people had servants, they also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that. The race ended when they could no longer pay for this new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States.

“Keeping up with the Joneses” means keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the county for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right” books, go to the “right” universities and eat in the “tight” restaurants.

29. What does the underlined expression mean?

A. hiring a servant

Two brightly colored butterflies have just flown by. They seem to be exactly alike, but actually one is a little larger than the other. The larger insect has a wingspread (翼长) of up to four inches. The smaller one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.

At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species? Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family? If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.

The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶). As a baby insect, the monarch feeds on milkweed, which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell. The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy. Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.

The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峡蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees. Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks like the monarch, birds keep away from it. The viceroy’s similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.

There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies, bees and moths. In each case, one either has a disagreeable taste or smell, or can give a painful sting (叮咬). The larger is called the model. The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic（模仿者）.

33. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Monarch butterfly B. Viceroy

C. Model and mimic D. Monarch butterfly and viceroy

34. The wingspread of the Monarch butterfly is_____ larger than that of the Viceroy

A. more than one inch B. less than one inch

C. more than seven inches D. less than seven inches

35. Why do birds keep away from the Monarch butterfly?

A. It feeds on milkweed. B. It has a disagreeable taste and smell.
