Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” 1. There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. 3. .

4. If the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.

C．It’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.

D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.

F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of 2013. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies — we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them — we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.

Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better?looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait — the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive — and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.

But what does it say about selfies? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph — by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on — that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

“You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non?virtual (非虚拟的) interactions，” Kilner told the Canada?based CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with”， he explained.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A．The definition and fun of taking selfies.

B．A study of why people love taking selfies.

C．How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.

D．How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.

2.The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”．

A．interpret B．beautify

C．choose D．explain

3.According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ________.

A．it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

B．it is a way to respond to others' facial expressions correctly

C．it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

D．it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances

We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. 1. In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.

How a speaker moves is important. Whole?body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.

2. But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.

With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. 3. The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.

4. When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.

5. Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.

A．So they usually have eye contact with the audience.

B．So they have trouble with eye contact.

C．An important part of public speaking is practice.

D．New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.

E．A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.

F．Improve your public speaking with body language.

G．Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

A GRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, 78, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. “I slipped into a valley！” said Mrs Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.

It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. “I wasn't afraid，” said Mrs Riotton. “But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me.” Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.

She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. “There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive，” said Mr Fossard. “It was a miracle that Michelle was finally found.”

Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. “Enough is enough！” she said. “No more forests — don't want to visit one again.”

A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. “The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings.” he said. “Anybody walking into the mountains should carry safety equipment and be prepared for any kind of emergency.”

Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job. A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proofreading and problem solving. In an office?based experiment, 88 per cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.

The study also found that 81 per cent completed their work fastest when music was played. And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you're doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.

Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs. During proofreading, dance music, such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all. Dance music also had a positive effect on spell?checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.

The research, undertaken by Brighton?based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive. The Music Works experiment revealed a positive correlation between music and productivity. Overall, it showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people performed better, said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.

1.Whose music can help you do maths homework according to the study?

A．The music of Justin Bieber.

B．The music of Mozart.

C．The music of David Guetta.

D．The music of David Lewis.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to the passage?

A．Music makes you relaxed.

B．Music helps you to enter data faster.

C．Music improves maths skills.

D．Music has a positive effect on spell?checking.

3.The result of the experiment showed that when music was played, ________.

A．88% of people worked faster

B．81% of people did their most accurate work

C．90% of people worked better

D．75% of people completed data entry task faster

4.What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Music may be helpless to people in office.

B．Silent offices can make people work better.

C．Different kinds of music have the same effect.

D．Silent offices may make people work least profitably.
