9.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 a 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 40hours 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.
47.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.
B.Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
C.Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
D.Extreme people tend to work with others.
48.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?D
A.Before you select your job,you should assess your skills and match them with
your position
B.You should ignore your skills when you select job.
C.Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position
when you select job.
D.There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the
position when you select job.
49.What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?C
A.Design.B.Changes.C.Cooperation.D.Hobbies.

50.What is the best title for this passage?C
A.Lifestyles and Job Pay       
B.Jobs and Environment
C.Personalities and Jobs                 
D.Job Skills and Abilities.

19.About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked:"So,how have you been?"And the boy,who could not have been more than seven or eight years old,replied,"To tell the truth,I've been feeling a little depressed (壓抑) lately."
His words stuck in my mind because it confirmed (證實(shí)) my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember,my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"until we were in high school.
Children don't seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults,dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is based not only on natural biological states,but also on ways of getting social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually needs to learn the secrets of the new social role.Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in stages:traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30years,however,television has passed information to all viewers.Unable to resist (抵制) the temptation (誘惑),many children turn their attention from printed texts to more interesting moving pictures.
Communication through print,in fact,allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children can get.Reading and writing need symbols that must be memorized and practiced.Children must read simple books before they can read difficult materials.

62.According to the author,feeling depressed isC.
A.a(chǎn) sign of a psychology (心理) problem in a child
B.a(chǎn)n important period of children's development
C.something hardly to be expected in a young child
D.a(chǎn) state present in all humans,including children
63.According to the writer,the children seem adultlike because ofC.A.the rising of living standards
B.the simple books
C.influence of television
D.the fast development of humans'intelligence
64.Why does the author like communication through print for children?A
A.It can contraol what children are to learn at a proper age.
B.It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C.It helps children to remember and practice more knowledge.
D.It helps childern to gain more social information.
65.What does the author think of the change in today's children?A
A.He thinks this phenomenon is worth noticing.
B.He feels funny by their behaviors and thoughts
C.He considers it a positive and good development
D.He seems to be angry about these strange behaviors.

He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat.Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.

4.I remembered that when I was a little child,I used to look for Sunday of the week.Yes,I was so looking forward to an adventure.

It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today.I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us.I waved my hands so high with all my strength.I looked hopefully at him.He didn't move at all.He was still standing.It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn't any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand.We managed to find seats on the upper deck.I was so excited.Only sitting beside the windows made me happy.Looking at the rewinding buildings,streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun.Then,he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop.I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.
That is me.I know now.I am all he cares.He wants me to be happy,as he always does.That's the strong bond between father and son.Childhood,naive(天真)  and precious,you showed me the world and the way I look at the world.I am so grateful for your presence in my life.Thanks,you are so wonderful!

14.Parents have widely different views on the problem of pocket money.Four new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.
Ashish Khanna:Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value,I don't agree.I wouldn't give my child any pocket money.First of all,I never got pocket money and I seem to have a good value for money.If my child ever needed something and I felt it was a reasonable(合理)request,I would buy it for him.
Sharad Sanghi:No,I wouldn't give my child pocket money because I don't want to create the perception(觀念) of"her"money and"my"money.Besides,if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her,she may buy it with her pocket money on the sly.In this way,I would lose control over my child's requests.I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else.I don't want my child to start judging(評判) other children by the amount of money or pocket money they have.
Rakesh Shah:Yes,I would give my child pocket money.I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard spending.They will learn what their limitations(限制)are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that is over their own pockets.
Rajiv Patel:Yes,I would give my child pocket money because it is important that she learns to manage money.I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends the money before the month is over,then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely.
Vikram Desai:Yes,I would certainly give my child pocket money.But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis.He would have to earn it.If he helped me finish some of my jobs or helped his mother with housework,I would reward him.This helps him realize that"money does not grow on trees"and it requires hard work to earn money.
66.Ashish Khanna may agree thatC.
A.he was given too much pocket money when young
B.he can take much control of his child by money
C.he will buy anything he thinks his child really needs
D.pocket money helps children develop a good value for money
67.The underlined phrase"on the sly"in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.
A.for free     B.a(chǎn)t a lower price      C.happily      D.secretly
68.What do Rakesh Shah and Rajiv Patel have in common?A
A.They want their children to learn to manage money.
B.They ask their children to get pocket money by working.
C.They teach their children the difficulty of making money.
D.They allow their children to spend money freely.
69.According to Vikram Desai,children's earning money by themselves makes them know thatA.
A.money is not easy to get
B.money can be gotten from the trees
C.one can get lots of money if he/she works hard
D.money is not so important for people nowadays
70.Who would give his child pocket money every month?D

1.Learning to communicate in another language may be challenging,but it is also a very rewarding and enriching experience.It is the best passport to discovering another culture.Here are a few tips to help you make the most of the experience.
Work at your own pace.
Make the most of the time you have available to study.You will find you can learn more effectively if you study for half an hour every day,rather than try to do a whole unit in one sitting.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else.If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you,it will give you extra motivation to keep working.
Remember that you can go a long way with just a little language.
Even if you feel unsure about your ability to form right sentences,you'll find that it is possible to communicate with just a few words.Above all,don't worry about getting things wrong:people will still be able to understand you.The more confidence you gain in communicating,the more fluent you'll become.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too much at once.It's best to study frequently.Put words into sentences to fix them in mind,and come back to them later.Learning vocabulary in this way is usually very effective.
And most of all,have fun!
21.This passage is basically about someC of foreign language learning.
A.news B.notices   C.suggestions  D.a(chǎn)dvertisements
22.In the writer's opinion,it is better to studyA.
A.for half an hour every day B.a(chǎn) whole unit at a time
C.more than an hour a day D.a(chǎn)t any time in the day
23.Learning to speak a foreign language is the key to enjoying anotherB.
A.challenge B.culture C.experience D.discovery.

"I'm fully expecting it to be tough,"Nick Hancock said."I'm hoping that by doing my daily tasks fairly slowly,I'm going to be able to keep most of my time busy.I think the worst times will come if I'm boxed up for several days by bad weather."
Hancock hopes to land on Rockall in early June and will carry out the last tests of his boat next week.He has a small wind turbine(風(fēng)電機(jī)) and a solar panel for power,more than two months'food,a satellite phone and a laptop loaded with e-books to keep him going.Hancock will update an adventure blog,texting messages out on Twitter and emailing his wife Pam and friends every day.

The last human inhabitants Hancock knows of are a small group of Belgian amateur radio enthusiasts,who are interested in broadcasting from distant islands; they were on Rockall overnight in late 2010.
Hancock has no large support team behind him.Except for the coastguard(海岸警衛(wèi)隊(duì)),his only lifeline will be the Orca  III,the passenger boat which will take him to Rockall.
