20.Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time?When you select your career,there's whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position.If you ignore your personality,it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.Here are a few of those main areas:
1)Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating(使孤立) jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy.Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer.There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two,which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2)How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them,but some are more than others.If you need stability in your life,you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often.Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3)Do you enjoy working with computers?
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic.There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer,while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day.Again,these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4)What type of work environment do you enjoy?
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5)How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get,while others feel too stressed to be like that.The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway,these are a great starting point for you.I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love.It may take you a little longer,but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

8.I live in the land of Disney,Hollywood and year-round sun.You may think People in such an attractive,fun-filled place are happier than others.If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness.The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act.Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deep,long-lasting emotion.
Going to an amusement park or a ball game,watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax,temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness,because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play,it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.They have constant access to exciting parties,fancy cars,expensive homes,everything that spells"happiness"But in memoir(回憶錄) after memoir,they expose the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun:depression,alcoholism,drug addiction,broken marriages and loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment(承諾).For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly,couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness.They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want.Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night's sleep.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.It liberates time:now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness.It liberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it frees us from envy:we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
63.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.Marriage and commitment.       
B.Success and satisfaction.
C.Fun and happiness.             
D.Entertainment and responsibility.
64.The author probably agrees thatD.
A.fun creates long-lasting satisfaction
B.long-standing fun may lead to happiness
C.fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
D.fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
65.What does the author think of marriage?B
A.It ends in pain.               
B.It means commitment.
C.It affords greater fun.                          
D.It leads to raising children.
66.If one gets the real meaning of happiness,heA.
A.won't place too much value on money 
B.will start a business
C.will seek for freedom              
D.won't devote himself to his family.

5."Can I see my baby?"the happy new mother asked.When the baby was in her arms and she was moving the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face,the doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window.The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect.It was only his appearance that was imperfect.When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother's arms,she sighed (嘆息),knowing that his life was to be unfortunate.He cried to his mum"A boy,a big boy…called me a freak (怪人)."
He grew up,handsome.A favorite with his fellow students,he might have been class president,but for that.He developed a gift,a talent for literature and music."But you might communicate with other young people,"his mother blamed him,but felt a kindness in her heart.
A few years went by.One day,his father said to the son,"You're going to the hospital,son.Mother and I have someone who will donate (捐獻(xiàn)) the ears you need.But it's a secret."The operation was a great success,and a new person appeared.
Later he married and became a lawyer.One day,he asked his father,"Who gave me the ears?Who gave me so much?I could never do enough for him or her.""I do not believe you could,"said the father,"but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet."
The years kept their secret,but the day did come.He stood with his father over his mother's casket(棺材).Slowly,tenderly,the father reached out and raised the thick,reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,"his father whispered gently,"and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful,did they?"

64.Why did the doctor turn quickly and look out of the window?C
A.Because the baby had a tiny face.
B.Because he saw the baby crying.
C.Because the baby was born imperfect.
D.Because he saw something attractive outside.
65.Which word can describe Mother's feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?B
A.Nervous.    B.Sorry.     C.Proud.      D.Angry.
66.We can infer that the person who donate the ears isC.
A.a(chǎn) doctor.     B.his father.
C.his mother.    D.a(chǎn) stranger.
67.The best title for the passage would beC.
A.Mother's hair       B.An unforgettable memory
C.Who gave me the ears?D.Why did they keep the secret?

12.A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin (頑童) was walking around the shining car."Is this your car,Paul?"he asked.
Paul answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas."The boy was surprised."You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything?Boy,I wish…"He hesitated(猶豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish,"the boy went on,"that I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in surprise,and then he said again,"Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes,I'd love that."
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,"Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car.But Paul was wrong again."Will you stop where those two steps are?"the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps.Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的) brother.He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent.And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
