Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身) nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.

Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.

As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.

There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

1.Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph2?

A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves.

B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.

C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.

D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?

A. enthusiastic B. negative

House Sitting

In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.

In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 1.

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 2. I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

3. There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.

There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 4. You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.

5. Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.

A. I have done house sitting many times.

B. Thousands of people do this all the time.

C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.

D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.

E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.

F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.

G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.

There are many dying languages. But at least one has recently been born, created by children living in a remote village in northern Australia, according to Carmel O’shannessy, a linguist at the University of Michigan.

The language, called Light Warlpiri, is spoken only by people under 35 in Lajamanu, a village of about 700 people in northern Australia. In all, about 350 people speak the language as their native tongue.

Since many of the first speakers of this language are still alive, Dr. O’shannessy has been able to document a “new” language in the very early period of its existence.

Everyone in Lajamanu speaks “strong” Warlpiri, an aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的)language unrelated to English and shared with about 4,000 people in several Australian villages. Many also speak Kriol, an English-based creole(混合语) that is widely spoken in northern Australia among aboriginal people of many native languages.

Many words in Light Warlpiri originate from English or Kriol. But light Warlpiri is not simply a combination of words from different languages.

Dr. O’shannessy offers this example: Nganimpa-ng gen wi-m si-m worm mai naus-ria. (We also saw worms at my house.)

It is easy to see nouns come from English. But the -ria ending on aus (house) means “in” or “at,” and it comes from Warlpiri. The -m ending on the verb “si” (see) indicated that event is wither happening now or has happened, a “present or past but not future” tense that does not exist in English or Warlpiri. This is a way of talking so different from either Warlpiri or Kriol that it is considered a new language.

The development of the language, Dr. O’shannessy says, began with parents using baby talk with their children in a combination of the three languages. But the children took that language as their native tongue by adding some changes, especially in the use of verb structures, which are not present in any of the source languages. “After children created the new system, it has since become a marker of their identity as being young Warlpiri from the Lajamanu Community,” Dr. O’shannessy says.

1.What is Dr. O’shannessy’s main contribution?

A. She has preserved aboriginal languages.

B. She has worked hard to save dying languages.

C. She has helped to popularize English in Australia.

D. She has recorded the development of Light Warlpiri.

2.What is the common language in Lajamanu?

A. Kriol. B. Warlpiri.

C. English. D. Light Warlpiri.

3.What makes Light Warlpiri a new language?

A. The spelling. B. The grammar.

C. The Vocabulary. D. The pronunciation.

4.According to Dr. O’shannessy, Light Warlpiri is helpful in______.

A. improving existing languages

B. understanding parent-child communication

C. showing young Warlpiri’s identity

D. achieving unity among the Lajamanu Community

If you find yourself constantly checking your cell phone, you may have a problem with

overuse of cell phone. 1. Here are four tips on how to create better phone habits.

1. Put your phone away an hour before you go to sleep. Staring at a screen right before

you try to go to sleep is going to make it more difficult to fall asleep. 2. Don’t try to

sleep with it right next to your head because you will spend more time focused on who might

be texting you than sleeping.

2. Carry your phone in your bag or pocket. When you take your phone with you, don’t

carry it in your hand. 3.This is especially important when you drive. Make sure your

phone is hidden away when you drive so you are not tempted to look at it and text.

3. 4. Think of the best times of the day for you to not be on your phone texting

and make it a “no phone time”. Turn your phone completely off and put it away somewhere

where you can’t get to it for a few hours. Forcing yourself to do this daily will help train your

brain to not get anxious when you are not on your phone.

4. Pretend like your cell phone is a home phone. 5. Try pretending like your cell

phone is a landline phone. Place it in one spot in your house and always leave it there and

only use it there, instead of taking it with you everywhere you go.

A. An hour before you go to sleep, text anyone you are talking to that you are going to sleep.

B. Cell phones are an annoying invention.

C. Have set times where you are away from your phone.

D. Turn off your cell phone before you leave your home.

E. Probably one of the major reasons you are addicted to (上瘾)texting is because you can carry your phone with you anywhere.

F. It can lead to reduced quality of personal relationships and lack of productivity in daily life.

G. Put your phone somewhere where you can’t see it.
