文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章概括了Yue-Sai Kan的成长经历以及她的新书《成为先锋》的写作背景和主题。

2 . Yue-Sai Kan was born in China. In 1972, she moved to New York. When Kan was a child, she was told by her father that she should always aim to (力争) be the first because no one remembered the second. What her father said has been a driving inspiration over the years for her to become a bestselling author and a successful businesswoman.

Her new book Be a Pioneer, which is the tenth she has written and her first Chinese-language autobiography (自传), was produced after three years, inspired by her father’s words.

When writing an autobiography, the biggest challenge is not how to present one’s life, but to remember it. To help with reconstructing her story, Kan asked many friends and colleagues she made over the years to write down their memories of her from earlier times. So besides featuring Kan’s own words, the new book is also filled with those of her friends’s, which gives Kan a new understanding of herself — a woman who works hard, studies hard. and the most important thing is that she is a woman filled with a sense of responsibility.

“My helper Stephanie mentioned that I was worried because we were running out of money for the company. My housekeeper reminded me that before the start of one of my events she found that I had fainted (晕倒) in the bathroom. I was so tired that I was getting sick. They know more about me than myself,” Kan says.

“Writing a book is a good business to be in, not so much to make money but to grow the brain. I believe what I do will benefit the world. All the things I have done in Be a Pioneer — my successes and my failures — can be a good example to young people in particular. That’s the main reason why I wrote the book,” adds Kan.

1. What can we know about Kan’s book Be a Pioneer?
A.It took her 10 years to finish.
B.It is full of her father’s words.
C.It was completed with her friends’ help.
D.It tops the tenth on the bestseller list.
2. What is Kan’s difficulty in writing her autobiography?
A.Being short of money.B.Having no supporters.
C.Having to write it in Chinese.D.Remembering her past.
3. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A.To tell Kan is weak in health.
B.To show Kan is a worried woman.
C.To report the path of writing is difficult.
D.To state how Kan’s story was reconstructed.
4. What is Kan’s book Be a Pioneer aimed at?

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了著名作家卡夫卡的生平故事,他的作息时间异于常人,并且对写作充满热情,为此他还换了一份工时较短的工作,在他去世后,他的朋友将他生前的作品公布,从而让人们发现了这样一位大文学家。

3 . Kafka was hired in an Italian insurance company on November 1, 1907. He worked there for a year, during which period his letter witnessed that he was unhappy with his working time schedule — from 8 pm until 6 am — as it made it extremely difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later he got employed by the Worker’s Accident Insurance Institute. Both in his letter and his diaries, Kafka frequently complained about his life at work.

Though Kafka despaired of his twelve-hour shifts that left no time for writing, he was promoted to the position of chief clerk at the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute, and he worked from 8:30 am until 2:30 pm. Then he had lunch around 3:00 pm, slept until 7:30 pm, did some exercise and had a family dinner, after which he started work around 11:00 pm (the letter-and diary-writing took up at least one hour a day, and more usually two). “Depending on my strength, inclination and luck, until one, two, or three o’clock, once even till six in the morning.” This routine left him permanently on the verge of collapse. It would be wrong, however, to consider him a long-suffering official depressed by his work or even found it detestable. On the contrary, he was a model official, precise and efficient, who successfully climbed the career ladder.

Kafka is one of the highest regarded writers of the German language, although he achieved little to no fame during his own lifetime. During his lifetime, Franze Kafka burned an estimated 90 percent of his work. After his death at age 41, in 1924, a letter was discovered in his desk, addressed to his friend Max Brod. “Dearest Max,” it began. “My last request: Everything I leave behind me... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others’), sketches and so on, to be burned unread.” Less than two months later, Brod, disregarding Kafka’s request, signed an agreement to prepare a posthumous edition of Kafka’s unpublished novels. Thanks largely to Brod’s efforts, Kafka’s slim, mysterious works were gradually recognized as one of the great monuments of 20th century literature.

1. Why did Kafka quit the job on July 15, 1908?
A.Because he had to work ten hours a day.B.Because he found a better job.
C.Because he found it affected his writing.D.Because he hated the job.
2. Which of the following best explains “detestable” in Paragraph 2?
A.BoringB.HatefulC.EnjoyableD.Satisfying
3. What can we learn about Kafka?
A.He had a preference for writing.B.He did poorly in his work.
C.He was famous when he was alive.D.He got his works published.
4. What contributed to Kafka’s fame according to the passage?
A.His talent.B.His luck.C.His diligence.D.His friend’s efforts.
