      Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture stores all over the country. The new store, in London's

Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began.

      When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn't leave me at home on

my own, so I had to go to the market with her.

      To begin with, I didn't have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I

didn't get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.

      Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it.

I was 14, and I didn't have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I

spent my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them. 

      One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with

me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some

money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too. 

      Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers: My mum and I couldn't make enough candles during

the week, so some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound for every candle, and we used

to sell them for three or four times that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market. 

      At the age of 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then,

I've never looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything

from designer furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

第一节阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”. Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) , like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.

Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.

Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.

If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.
