11.Just 25years ago,the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher,banker and doctor.Now,they want to be sports star,pop star and actor,according to  survey by the Guardian newspaper.
Rachel,a character in the popular TV show Glee,may be said to speak for British teenagers."Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor."He said.
Emma Brockes,a reporter with the Guardian,believes it is"the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture"that is to blame."When children wanted to be doctor,it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is."She wrote.
It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression.Dr Carlo Stranger,of Tel Aviv University,studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance:Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century.He told the Daily Mail that young people now are"affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network,which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷)."
"As humans,we naturally measure ourselves to those around us,but now we live in a global village.We are comparing ourselves with the most‘important'people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,"he said.Today,even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.
The way out?Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity.Dr Strenger said that it is a process called"active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life."
"The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,"he said.

8.You have probably read the books.You have probably seen the movies.But have you heard the music?The latest Harry Potter news is that bands form to play what is called"wizard rock"or sometimes just"wrock".
The new kind of music began when Joe De George and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band.Ron on guitar,Hermione on bass,Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group.In one day,the brothers wrote,rehearsed and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts.After the first performance,Paul decided that"we are Harry and the potters."
Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like:rock"n"rock inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter.The De George started a trend.Today there are dozens of wizard-rock bands:the Whomping Willows,the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few.Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals.
People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome.The songs can be funny,but the music is not a joke.Just ask the De George brothers.They've played more than 500shows in 49states and their hit songs are inspired by characters from Harry Potter:"Save Ginny Weasley"and"Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!"The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowling's books:love and friendship,upset and struggle.
Wizard rock is just one more by-product in the Harry Potter craze.Two years after J.K.Rowling published her last book in the series,Potter popularity continues to grow.There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grow-ups to help fight hunger,for example.And the fact that they may do it while humming"Wizard Chess"or"Platform 9"makes those meetings fun.

51.What is the text mainly about?C
A.Harry Potter.       B.Harry Potter's music. 
C.Wizard rock.         D.Joe and Paul's band.
52.The underlined word"awesome"in Pa4 probably meansB in the text.
A.amusing           B.serious           C.considerate       D.inviting
53.Which of the following is true about wizard rock?D
A.It's no different from rock"n"rock.
B.It's sung in the films Harry Potter.
C.It's a funny business.
D.It follows the themes in Rowling's books.

15.Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China's Zhejiang province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou,first-tier cities in China that have been considered dream places for many,because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs.
The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday's job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students.The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better.
The fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students with 7,382 positions.
"The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable,"said Wang Jian from Nanjing Normal University,who acknowledged he had thought about finding a job in Beijing,Shanghai or Guangzhou,but in the face of huge pressures,he has no choice but to be"realistic."
People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly salary of between 3,000 yuan ($450)and 4,000 yuan,but in Shanghai,5,000 yuan a month can only help you survive and buying a house will remain a dream,
A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month because"living costs in Shanghai are too high."
An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary."I would go to Beijing only if I can earn 200,000 yuan a year,"he said.
"Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that other cities don't have,but the high housing prices and living costs make young people barely able to breathe,"said Ren Leiming from the job service center of Jiangsu's colleges and universities.
"First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for people to be outstanding,and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a dominant player at your position much more easily,"said Ren.
72.Tthe majority of graduate students will give up trying to find jobs in the first-tier cities becauseB      
A it is not easy to find jobs there.

5.It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas.While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival,he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10hours of labor,he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black Kona 18speed,was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work,putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,and then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity.And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others.No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.

56.Why was the bike so important to the couple?C
A.The man's job was bike racing.
B.It was their only possession.
C.They used it for work and daily life.
D.It was a nice Kona 18speed.
57.We can infer from the text thatD.
A.the couple worked 60hours a week.
B.people were busy before Christmas
C.the stranger brought over the bike

A.From radio broadcasts.    B.From a newspaper.
C.From TV news.             D.From a stranger.
59.What do the couple learn from their experience?D
A.Strangers are usually of little help.

C.News reports make people famous.
D.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
12.I began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother's idea.She wanted me to"make something"of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time,I walked back home.
"How many did you sell,my boy?"my mother asked.
"None."
"Where did you go?"
"The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
"What did you do?"
"Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post."
"You just stood there?"
"Didn't sell a single one."
"My God,Russell!"
Uncle Allen put in,"Well,I've decided to take the Post."I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币).It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence,and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I'd changed my mind.I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business.
"If you think you can change your mind like this,"she replied,"you'll become a good-for-nothing."She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.

B.The job was quite easy for him.

A.excited
B.interested  
C.ashamed 
D.disappointed

A.She forced him to continue
B.She punished him.
C.She gave him some money
