【题目】 In today’s difficult economic time, it’s natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad. Does the benefit outweigh the cost? The answer, in fact, is yes, when you look at the road ahead.

When the economy becomes more challenged, competition for the workforce increases, and employers look for employees with the best credentials（资力）. Having an overseas degree — from a university where strong English skills are required — can make all the difference. The added expertise of a foreign degree, along with more cultural experience, can make you more qualified for many jobs.

A 50-year study of 3,400 students shows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person’s life and continues to impact the participant’s life for years after the experience.

82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path. 70% stated that it ignited（点燃）an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience.

And the effect on one’s career can be equally strong. A study by the Queensland, Australia government showed:

61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume. 72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee.

Still, there’s the question of how to pay for studying overseas. But the cost doesn’t have to be as high as you think. Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs. And, there are plenty of ways to further offset（抵消）the cost — through financial tips, advice and grants（补助金）.

【1】The second study shows that studying abroad .

A.helps one to get a jobB.affects one’s whole life

C.affects one’s career directionD.helps one to make more money

【2】The author tries to prove his idea by .

A.giving examplesB.answering questions

C.listing facts and numbersD.offering advice and solutions

【3】What does the author think about the university fees?

A.Financial tips must increase the university fees.

B.Scholarships can cover some of the costs.

C.Money is a serious problem for studying abroad.

D.There are few ways for the students to earn money.

【4】What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?

A.Studying abroad is easy.B.Studying abroad is rewarding.

C.The effects of studying abroad.D.The problems with studying abroad.

【题目】 As I was leaving the gym last week, I greeted a friend who was coming in. He responded without looking up from his phone. I stood there for a few awkward seconds, hoping for eye contact. He finally looked up briefly, apologetically, before returning to the screen. I walked on, feeling shaken.

It turns out I was phubbed, which is a term for snubbing(冷落)someone in favor of a phone. And research has found that phubbing does have negative (消极的)impacts on personal relationships, reducing the quality of communication and level of satisfaction.

Recently I've noticed that it's impossible to go out with friends and have their attention for the whole time, There're always phones on the table, and they're constantly being checked. When the slightest pause in conversation arises, or if someone gets up from the table briefly, people seize their phones to check in with the rest of the world to see what else is going On.

It used to be that going out together was confidence-boosting solid reassurance(安慰)that another person enjoyed your company, otherwise they wouldn't accept but not now. Now, you're constantly attracting attention，competing with a portable supercomputer. When someone is looking at their phone, you're never sure if they actually want to be with you.

The modern-day equivalent of this is scrolling(滚屏)and texting. Although I didn't realize it at the time, I was trying for connection with the friend, who was attracted by it refusing to put away his phone and made me feel awful.

I don't want to be that person. I don't want my actions to make anyone feel the way I did that day. So from now on I'm going to make a point of not letting digital distractions damage the relationships I hold so dear. It's not worth it. Nothing on that screen is ever more important than the person standing right in front of me.

【1】Why does the author describe his greeting with a friend in the gym last week?

A.To introduce what phubbing is.B.To show the misuse of phones.

C.To draw the readers' attention.D.To voice his opinion about phubbing.

【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.Phones are bad for communication.B.Phones are used widely in the world.

C.Phubbing is making people suffer.D.Phubbing is a common phenomenon.

【3】What will happen when you're snubbing someone according to the author?

A.People will enjoy your company.B.You will lose the trust of others.

C.You will damage others' confidence.D.People will feel truly connected.

【4】What does the word "it" underlined in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Being companied.B.Scrolling and texting.

C.The table.D.The phone.

【题目】Building trust inside your team

A team without trust isn’t really a team: it’s just a group of individuals, working together, often making disappointing progress. 【1】 So how can you, as a leader, help your team to build the trust that it needs to develop? In this article, we’ll look at the issue of trust within teams and what you can do to build it.

Lead by example.

If you want to build trust within your team, then lead by example, and show your people that you trust others. This means trusting your team, your colleagues, and your boss. 【2】 They are taking cues(提示) from your behavior. Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like.

Know each other personally.

One way to build trust is to encourage your team members to know each other. Think about creating situations that help them to share personal stories, and to bond. 【3】 Start by sharing some personal information about yourself, and then ask someone else about a hobby, or a musical interest.

【4】 .

When people work together, there will be honest mistakes and disappointments, and it’s easy to blame someone for these. However, when everyone starts pointing fingers, an unpleasant atmosphere can quickly develop. This lowers trust, and is finally unproductive.

Discuss trust issues.

If you manage a team that has trust issues, it’s important to find out how these problems originate, so that you can come up with a strategy for overcoming them. Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously(匿名的). 【5】 Once you’ve read the results, get everyone together to talk about these issues.

A.Do not place blame.

B.Try to avoid mistakes and disappointments.

C.Ask them about the reasons for their lack of trust.

D.Do this by asking sensitively about their family or hobbies.

E.Never forget that your team members are always watching you.

F.Instead, encourage everyone to think about the mistake positively.

G.However, when trust is in place, the group can achieve meaningful goals.

【题目】 When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.

Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

【1】The second paragraph is developed mainly _________.

A.by exampleB.by process

C.by comparisonD.by contrast

【2】Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?

A.A medical team.B.An exchange program.

C.A water plant.D.Financial support.

【3】What can we infer about international aid from the passage?

A.It is facing difficulties.

B.It should be given in the form of materials.

C.It has gained support by developed countries.

D.It is unnecessary during normal times.
