Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes, Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid.” Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),but finally she agreed.

The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.

The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. we all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could, Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”

It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.

26. What do we know about Tom?

A. He was seriously ill                   B. He was a dishonest boy. 

C. He was crazy about magic               D. He was Dr.Epstein’s patient

27.What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?

A. She was a rich lady                     B. She refused Tom’s request

C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero         D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain

28. When Tom went for the third operation, he         .

A. pretended to be painful                  B. acted like a superhero 

C. appeared in poor spirits                   D. argued with his mother

29.In the last paragraph, you are advised         .

A.to go through some difficult tests             B.to wake up from your wild dreams

C.to become a powerful person in your mind   D.to wear expensive clothes for job interviews

       Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job.

         Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist(精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.

         Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.

         Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting:148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side.”

         The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.

         People also take second jobs with an eye to the future – wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.

         Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn’t tied to one system that ended up failing .

         Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries –no longer just service, office and sale jobs.

         “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. “That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.”

         As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.

         Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance.

         “The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.”

         Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.

         Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do this part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job.

         “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.”

67.What is the article mainly about ?

A.The ways of moonlighting.             B.The reasons for moonlighting.

C.The problems with moonlighting.        D.The kinds of people who moonlight.

68.The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.

         A.he found it exciting to do a part-time job

         B.he needed to make ends meet with more money

         C.he feared he would lose his present job one day

         D.he felt more and more pressure from his employer

69.Some companies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid_________.

         A.their workers can not do extra-hour work for them

         B.their workers will be too tired to try their best at work

         C.their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs

         D.their workers will not get to work and be off work on time

70.The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph means ________.

         A.moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy

         B.moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money

         C.moonlighting strengthens your professional skills          

         D.moonlighting brings you chances to do something different
