re they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage,she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one,she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special
happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough." she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her. Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987,she had spent a lot of time on photography.

听力原文: Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except for one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one, and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you." Mr. Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the plane. The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeeded in having the company of the girl during the whole trip.
(36)
A.Beside a window.
B.Next to a pretty girl.
C.In the front of the plane.
D.Anywhere but by the window.

M: Wow, that's so cool, Lily! It's so great that your environment is finally supporting you. I wasn't sure you were going to make it a couple of times! Especially when your father lost his job. That was hard on you and your family, wasn't it?
W: Yeah, that's why I have tried hard to make money. I have to admit I was pretty fired all these days. And those classes, especially business classes — I thought they were going to kill me!
M: (laughing): I feel the same way about my liberal arts classes! Jeff seems to be the only one who can do well in all of his classes! He's amazing! By the way, he had a long talk with Drew the other night. I guess he is interested in meeting you!
W: Wow! Are you kidding?
M: No! He's really interested. Maybe we can double date with you guys. That way, there wouldn't be so much pressure on each of you. Especially since you've never officially met before!
W: Sounds goad. Let me know when everyone can make it. I think it would be easier for me to make it after I learn more about my part-time job.
M: OK. I'll talk to Jeff and we'll see what we can schedule with my girl friend. I'll give you a call as soon as we figure out what will work for everyone. How about dinner and a movie?
M: Perfect. Give me a call when you can. See you soon!
