         阅读下面短文,第1至5题表述了Anna, Smith,Wilkins, Crick和June在自己的生活及学习中遇
    到的问题,他们需要你的帮助,请从A.B.C.D.E和F中为其选出最合适的建议。选项中有一项是多
    余选项。
         1. Anna: I get really frustrated easily, and sometimes I end up yell ing at people I love. I'm not very sure
    why it happens, but I have no control over it. How can I stop?
         2. Smith:Some kids are making fun of me because I'm doing very well at school. Isn't that something to
    be proud of? I need advice.
         3. Wilkins: I am not sociable. I am really shy, and I am already a freshman in high school. I have some
    new friends, but I am still shy to the cool kids. Can you help me, please?
         4. Crick: I always say what I feel immediately and without thinking. Sometimes I get in trouble for it or
    feel sorry about it later. Is speaking your mind a good or a bad thing?
         5. June: I love to read! But I don't have any time to read because of all of my activities. I don't want to
    quit anything. What should I do?
    A
         Instead of feeling upset, you should definitely be proud of your- self. Intelligence is a quality that everyone
    wants, and as you get ol- der it's going to be what people love and respect about you. Still water runs deep.
    I'm sure as time goes by, some of those kids making fun of you might realize how cool you actually are.
    B
         Everyone has to learn how to adapt to society and mix socially with others. No man is an island, as the
    saying goes. To become a so- ciable person, you must be naturally friendly. Besides, do something for a social
    situation. A teacher once gave me this great advice: Pre parea conversation in your head before going into an
    uncomfortable social situation. It sounds like a lot of work, but it's easy and it works! Get involved in activities
    that interest you and you will make new friends fast.
    C
         Always keep a book with you so that you can read during pock- ets of free time. Turn some of your TV
    or computer time into reading time. Read for a little while right before bed, and find time to read on weekends.
    Also, talk to your parents about your schedule. You might not want to quit anything, but you might need to
    find more free time in order to have a happy balance in your life.
    D
         That feeling is your conscience, and it's telling you that you need to confess what you did. Be brave and
    tell your parents. Even if they get upset when they hear about it from you, they would be even more upset to
    hear about it from your friend's mom. So pick a quiet time and say. Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something,
    but I'm a fraid. Then spill the beans. No matter what they say, you'll be re lieved not to have this secret any
    more. 
    E
         First, identify what is frustrating you, then learn to calm your- self down. The next time you start feeling
    frustrated, stop what you're doing and breathe deeply. Count to ten. Get up and walk around. Clear your
    mind before you come back to the frustrating task. If you keep a cool head, you'll be less likely to snap at
    others. And if you do yell at someone, apologize and admit that it's not that person's fault. Then calm down
    and try again.
    F
         Speaking your mind can be a really good thing. Far too many people don't, except when talking about
    someone behind that person's back. However, there are times when honesty does more than good like when
    a girl asks if she looks fat. So in situations in which there's no real good, you are better off keeping your
    thoughts to yourself. In situations in which that is not the case like when your brother asks if his breath stinks
    feel free to tell the truth. Just be prepared to take it in return.

         Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs, but as we climbed the steps of
    evolution with giant leaps, we somehow left behind common. sense and logical thinking-we forgot that we
    have stopped thinking ahead of times.
         If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?  1   But
    it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your favorite star and many such absurd
    things. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we
    all sometimes think " What happens next?" " Why can't I think?". Well this is the aftermath of using our brain
    for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
          Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. Now why reading and not
    watching TV?    2    Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take advantage of reading.
    You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions.    3    
    Now this seed is un- knowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many
    times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest
    dreams! This is nothing other than creativity. The larger number of books you read, your mind will open up
    like never before. Also this improves your speaking skills to a large extent and also makes a sig nificant
    contribution to your vocabulary in writing.    4    
         Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly.    5   So
    guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you
    waiting for?
    A. Soon you will find no difficulty employing the right words when speaking.
    B. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
    C. I am still on the path of improvement to satisfy my thirst.
    D. Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry.
    E. Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood.
    F. Within no time you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.
    G. Because watching TV too often will make you a" couch potato".

         We have met the enemy and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually
    found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it's hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings." Most of the infections (感染)

    such a limited knowledge of them" says Isaksen.
         " Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need
    changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals
    may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may de- velop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.

    A. come from Columbia
    B. prevent us from being infected
    C. enjoy being with children

    2. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?
    A. They attack human beings.
    B. We need to study native animals.
    C. They can't live out of the rain forest.
    D. We do not know much about them yet.
    3. What does the phrase" the wake-up call" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
    A. A new disease.
    B. A clear warning.
    C. A dangerous animal.
    D. A morning call.
    4. The text suggests that in the future we______.
    A. may have to fight against more new diseases
    B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs

         A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all peo ple interviewed said: "YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, rai sing his voice for
    impressive effect." But I can tell you, only a small part of that I percent are telling the truth."
         I've met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的 ) yet warmhearted, plain
    spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
         Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important
    natural resource. Their en- ergy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of
    the world's factory.
         But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends:" When I grow up
    I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
         Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It's been
    happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan,( $169)
    per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career.
    There should be better ways to earn your rice.
         Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (装配). People
    just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder,
    why are people still standing in production lines?
         But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to make use of the low-cost labor situation and keep the
    economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
          But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory?
    1. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
    A. One percent.
    B. Only a small part.
    C. Only a small part of that one percent.
    D. The writer didn't mention it.

         Ms. Keller often said," Without Annie Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown."
         As a little girl, Sullivan was no stranger to hardship (困苦). She almost couldn't see anything and was, at
    one time, locked in a dark underground room of a mental institution (精神病院) because of mental problems.
    Little Annie Sullivan would attack anyone who came near sometimes. However, an elderly nurse believed there
    was hope and she offered to help the child. Every day she made all her efforts to give little Annie words of love
    and encouragement.
         At last, doctors noticed a change in the girl. They ever saw an ger and hostility (敌意) in her eyes, while
    now they noticed a little gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to become better.
    Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless" child was released (释放).
         Annie Sullivan grew into a young woman with a wish to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kind
    nurse. It was she who saw hope in Helen Keller. She loved her, played with her until the flickering candle
    became a bright light to the world. Annie Sullivan brought wonders into Helen's life. But without that kind and
    warm heaned nurse, how could little Annie become such a kind-hearted teacher?
          And so it goes. Just how far back does the chain of love make bigger? And how far forward will it lead?
         You can never ignore the power of your love. It is a fire that, once lit, may burn forever.
    1. What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?
    A. When young, Sullivan was not afraid of hardship.

         As more Americans go to mainland China to take jobs, more Chinese and Americans are working side
    by side. These cross-cultural partnerships, while beneficial in many ways, are also highlighting tensions
    that expose differences in work experience, pay levels and communication.
         In the last few years, a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China
    for employment, attracted by its faster-growing economy and lower jobless rate. Their Chinese co-workers
    are often around the same age. But the two groups were raised differently. The Americans have had more
    exposure to free-market principles. "Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment," said
    Neng Zhao, 28, a semor associate at Blue Oak Capital, a private firm based in Beijing. "We weren't. So the
    workplace is a unique learning process for my generation."
         Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience. Foreigners tend to earn
    10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts (persons working in similar positions), said Michael
    Norman, senior vice president at Sibson Consulting, an American firm. That imbalance does not go unnoticed
    by Chinese workers. "There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work," said
    Ting Wang, 25, an associate at WildChina, a travel company based in Beijing. On the other hand, Chinese
    workers have a deeper understanding of the influences, like Confucianism'and Communism, which play a
    part in their country's culture and economy.
         It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust, said Mr. Norman, who works
    on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.
         "In the West, there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly, but when you come to work in China,
    you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business,"
    he said.
    1. What is mainly talked about in the passage?

    A. Cross-cultural conflicts.
    B. Cross-cultural partnerships.
    C. Multinational companies in China.
    D. Different pays for the same work. 

    2. More Americans go to China to take jobs because _____.
    A. they want to experience different cultures
    B. Chinese workers are easier to cooperate
    C. they can't find proper jobs in America
    D. the economy of China is developing rapidly

    3. What does the underlined word "imbalance" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

    A. Unfair pay levels.
    B. Different working experience.
    C. Unequal opportunities.
    D. Different upbringing environment.
    4. What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Americans benefit more from working in China.
    B. Chinese and American employees have the same experience.
    C. Young Chinese can benefit from cross-cultural partnerships.
    D. More Americans working in China causes higher jobless rate.

         When their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the
    rounds as a doctor.
         But today's British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next
    Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.
          Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful
    career hopes.
         According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity (明星) lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame
    through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars.
         Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today's teenagers,cited by
    12 percent.
         Almost as many,11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors.
         The success of celebrity chefs such as James Oliver and Cor don Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.
          A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is
    chosen by only 4 percent.
         Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity. The survey also suggests that more girls
    dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.
         Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children
    against unrealistic dreams.
         "Children see footballs, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she
    said."It is hard for them to realize that, they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent,
    determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance."
         As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but" these have
    to be based on reality," she said.
    1. The study suggests today's British teenagers want to___ sports stars, pop stars and actors.

    D. Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list.
    3. According to Laveme Antrobus, the change in career ambitions___.
    A. represents progress
    B. mirrors today's celebrity culture
    C. shows how realistic youngsters are
    D. suggests British teenagers watch too much TV

          [1] If you are a recent social science graduate who has to listen to jokes about unemployment from your
    computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science
    major because this hightech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good
          [2]There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example,
    a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater man agerial success than
    those who had technical training or preprofes sional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most
    sui ted to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high pressure, hightech world we now live in.
         [3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are
    also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large per centage of their
    entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢
    迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as"very important" by 92
    percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they
    are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
         [4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained
    classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study.
