I didn't go to Colorado to ski. I went because I was persuaded to attend a two-day class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.
Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning,we sat in a small classroom and our instructor,Robert,told us what to expect. The course,he explained,was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us,” Robert assured the class, “you’11 be fine."
On a snowy day when I was 4,I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day,but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed,I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the half-mile to school in the morning.
That first morning in Colorado,after we left the classroom and headed out to the track,my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina,it's your turn." I was lightheaded. I carefUlly did what I was instructed to do but when I turned,I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice,my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop,I sat rigid,trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely,wasn,t I? I had overcome one of my greatest fears — losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.
For the rest of the class,I continued practising,and I got better enough so that a week later,when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground,I didn't even think about calling another parent to drive my daughter to school. “I can do this,” I told myself. And I did.
24. In the classroom,Robert intended to help participants to .
A. know each other
B. build up confidence
C. learn about the course
D. put theory into practice
25. The accident made the author afraid to .
A. have kids in her car B. drive on snowy days
C. drive long distances D. be in a car by herself
26. What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?
A. Mixed. B. Puzzled.
C. Thankful. D. Regretful.
27. What do we know about the class?
A. It's tiring. B. It's helpful.
C. It's expensive. D. It's interesting.

Life skills,unfortunately,is an abstract and broad term for the abilities one would need for full participation in everyday life. So recently,I did a casual survey among my friends. I asked how they would determine whether an individual has,say,good social skills.
One said the language of such individuals would be grammatically correct and they would express their ideas clearly. Another said good eye contact was important. Yet another added to the list the ability to get along with people,not to take things personally and the ability to help others.
If most adults have difficulty defining the positive behaviours that are necessary to life skills,how do we know if students have acquired them the way I can describe on a report card?
Marlaine Paulsen Cover,founder of Parenting 2.0,has done just that.
Cover created a communication tool called the Life Skills Report Card (LSRC) . Similar in format to academic report cards,the LSRC divides life skills into five primary categories: personal care,organisation,respect for self and others,communication,and social. Sub-categories on the LSRC include: sleep,exercise,spirit'safety,time utilization,finances,ownership in problems and conflicts,altruism (無私) , and environmental consciousness.
She found that societies around the globe routinely supported children's active learning for music,sports,and academics. When it came to life skills,however,the popular perspective (觀念) was simply “children learn what they live”.
“Yet when children are poor in certain life skills,society is quick to pass a whole person judgment,” Cover says.
Life skills are necessary,because — to quote Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson — uto be what we are,and to become what we are capable of becoming,that is the only end of life”.
32. Why does the author raise the questions in Paragraph 1 ?
A. To present different ideas.
B. To expect reasonable answers.
C. To express his disappointment.
D. To introduce points for discussion.
33. How did the author feel about the result of the survey?
A. It was practical. B. It was worrying.
C. It was convincing. D. It was predictable.
34. What do we know about Cover's LSRC?
A. It has been widely used at schools.
B. It strongly emphasizes personal care.
C. It aims to change people's ideas about life skills.
D. It has something in common with academic report cards.
35. Cover''s words show that people tend to.
A. ignore the importance of life skills
B. encourage children's active learning
C. compare academic skills with life skills
D. look down upon children with poor life skills

You could be jetting off to foreign countries,staying in five-star hotels,eatihg in top-class restaurants,and it's all paid for by your employer. Who wouldn’t want a job that involves foreign travel?
36 There is a big difference between travelling to Milan as a tourist and travelling there to spend a day in the type of hotel meeting room that can be found anywhere in Europe. Speak to seasoned international business travellers to get an idea of what you will face. Flights can be delayed,things can go wrong and it's easy to get exhausted. 37 Simply targeting any job that involves foreign travel is not the way to start. Making travel your first requirement is not the way to choose a career. 38 Instead,you should consider all the usual factors(因素) ，such as qualifications and experience,and only then choose a sector (行業(yè)) or company that offers opportunities for international travel.
The travel and hotel trades are obvious areas,but the commercial sector also offers chances for travel. In the retail(零售) sector,buyers often travel,especially if they work in fresh produce. Employment in communications,banking and finance,and property management is also worth looking at. 39 The number of jobs involving travel,especially at middle-management level,is growing.
So what will help you secure a role with an international flavour? 40 A second language is a good indication of how well someone will adapt. You need to show you are flexible and willing to learn. If your company has a sister company in the Czech Republic,for instance,learning some Czech will boost your chances.
A. But not all employers are like this.
B. But it's not always as exciting as it sounds.
C. Many jobs mean travelling alone,so you can be lonely.
D. They will limit the amount that people travel each year.
E. Employers look for candidates with an international outlook.
F. It is as illogical as saying you want a job that involves wearing smart clothes.
G. Almost any career can mean international travel,if you choose the right company and role.

Dear Scope readers,
Those are the first lines of three of my books. As you can see,I often use a line of dialogue to open a story. But here's an example of a first line that isn’t dialogue: Patrick and I became friends because of a vegetable.
