“Face it， Andy. You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo’s.” That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world. Jimmy Choo (Zhou Yangjie) is a native Malaysian of Chinese origin (出身)， born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers. He created his first pair of shoes at age 11. His family couldn’t pay for his schooling， so he dropped out at a young age. He had to work with his father to support the family. But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared， so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower. Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there. He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988. His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana， Princess of Wales. Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels (鞋跟) and pointed toes. However， he does some flats and lower-heeled shoes for other women. Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with Tamara Mellon， UK Vogue editor， but left the company in 2001. Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world， so his designs are more accessible to those who want a designer shoe， and can afford his prices. Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready-to-wear designs. The brand (牌子) of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands， like Channel， LV， etc. But it’s still young and has a bright future. We can’t imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others. And so he did. So stop complaining about why good luck isn’t always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now. 1. What is Paragraph 1 written for? A. Comparing movies with fashion. B. Showing the shoes are popular. C. Introducing the following passage. D. Attracting readers’ attention to the shoes. 2.What do the underlined words “more accessible” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Easier to get. B. Easier to spread. C. Harder to imagine. D. Harder to accept. 3. Which of the following is the correct order about Jimmy Choo?
a. He opened his shops around the world. b. His shoes appeared in Vogue magazine. c. He created his first pair of shoes. d. He had his workshop in London. e. Jimmy Choo Ltd. was set up. A. c-d-b-a-e B. c-b-d-e-a C. d-c-b-e-a D. c-d-b-e-a 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. Choo was lucky enough when he was young. B. Choo must be thankful for Vogue magazine. C. “Jimmy Choo” is a brand with a long history. D. It’s much harder for a man to succeed in the fashion world.

My dad was a plumber(水管工) for the public works department in our town， so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad walk past the door of your classroom and wave his hand at you? In junior high? One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer(律师)， and she would say things like， “Ew， that’s gross(粗俗的)!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did， especially in my early teens， when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought. The girl lived a few streets away from us， and one winter day---the day her elder sister was getting married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom broke and there was water everywhere. Her father， the lawyer called every plumber in the Yellow Page， but nobody would come and because we were having a major snowstorm. Her daughter told him that my father was a plumber， and he called， and my dad went right over---and took me with him.(Maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet， help them clean up everything， and didn’t take much time for his trouble. But as we were leaving， he told the girl， “If I ever need a lawyer， I’ll be happy to call your dad.” As we walked to our car， he said to me， “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve(阀) was? What a dumb ass!” From that point on， her dad was known in school as Lawyer Dumb Ass. When my husband and I bought our house， the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve. I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter. 1.When her father came to her school and walked past the classroom door， the writer might feel ________. A.pleased B.embarrassed C.disappointed D.proud 2.The girl’s attitude towards the writer can be best described as ________. A.unfriendly B.doubtful C.kind D.gross 3.Why couldn’t the lawyer find anybody to fix the toilet on that winter day? A.He had little money B.All the plumbers were too busy to come C.There was a major snowstorm and nobody would come out D.One of his daughters was getting married and the house was in a mess 4.From the passage， we know the followings are right EXCEPT _______? A.The writer’s father thought the girl’s father was stupid. B.In the writer’s early teens， the only thing she cared about was what her dad did. C.The writer’s father spent only a little time fixing the toilet. D.What the other girls thought troubled the writer when she was in junior high.

As kids， we learn how to write， maybe play a musical instrument and draw. So why don’t we learn to code(编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing， playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life. Coding is all about creativity and that’s why I love it. Creating with code CoderDojo helps young people around the world to learn computer programming for free. When I went to my first CoderDojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland， at age nine， I didn’t know anything about coding or even such a thing. It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience! By going to CoderDojo every week， I learned how to make websites， apps and games. One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist. It can help journalists(记者) and interviewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones. It is still in development， and it first appeared at an event called Coolest Projects Awards， where young people get to show the public what they have created with code. It’s so much fun to share one’s creations， and to see what everyone else has made too. Learning environment For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at CoderDojo DCU. In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending CoderDojo DCU to try out coding. This has a lot to do with the CoderDojo girls’ classes—girls and young women take part in it with their friends， and it doesn’t feel like coding is a “boy thing”. It is really wonderful to see this， because we need more girls and women in STEM (Science， Technology， Engineering and Math). It’s a good way to learn more about technology. Start early One of the main things I have learned in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults， coding is for young people， too. And when you are a child， it is a great time to start coding， because your imagination is the limit(限制) for what you can create! Want to learn more? Find out if there is a CoderDojo near you at www.coderdojo.com or set one up yourself! Also check out Code.org which has lots of fun drag-and-drop coding games. 【小题1 】In the writer’s first coding class， she_________. A. made apps and games B. created a web page C. wrote for newspapers D. did some interviews 【小题2 】Why do more girls begin to learn coding? A. There are coding classes for girls. B. Girls want to learn a “boy thing”. C. There are more girls in STEM. D. Girls can meet cool boys there. What does the writer think of coding? A. It is better than playing music. B. It limits children’s imagination. C. It stops people from learning fast. D.It helps children with their creativity. 【小题4 】What is probably the best title for this passage? A. Start Coding as Early as Possible B. Come for Fun in CoderDojo Class C. Kids Should Have Chances to Learn to Code D. STEM Is Calling for More Girls and Women
