【答案】Dear Elsa,

Knowing that you have great interest in traditional Chinese culture, I’m quite excited to invite you to spend the Spring Festival with me and my family on January 24, which is also known as the Spring Festival Eve.

As one of the most important traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival is a great time for family reunions and celebrations of Chinese Lunar New Year. At dinner time we will sit around the table to have a big get-together meal, and jiaozi is the most traditional food representing health, wealth and good luck. Later we will watch the CCTV New Year’s Gala while chatting with the family members.

Other celebrations include setting off fireworks, giving New Year greetings to relatives and giving lucky money to the kids. If you could come, you will certainly have an unforgettable experience of traditional Chinese culture in person.

I’m looking forward to your early reply.

【题目】How to Say No Respectfully

Like most people, your natural instinct (本能) is probably to help others when you can. 1 Whether you’re declining an invitation to a party or turning down a new project at work, you can say no while still being respectful. Whatever the situation is, be clear, polite and firm when saying no.

Express your thanks. 2 If you have to turn someone down, express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place. You could say something like, “Thanks for considering me responsible enough to watch your kids. I’m sorry that I’m busy that evening.”

Think before you speak. If you say no immediately, it might seem like you didn’t even consider the request. In order to be respectful, take a moment to think about your answer—even if you already know what it is going to be. 3

Give a clear answer. Saying no respectfully shows that you’re honest and direct. 4 If you can’t help, say so. If someone is asking you on a date and you don’t want to go, make that clear.

5 You can say no without completely turning down the request. By setting boundaries, you can make it clear exactly what you can do and what you are willing to do. For example, you could say, “I’m not free for dinner, but I would be coming for a quick drink after work.”

A.Find a way to compromise (妥协).

B.Take a pause, and then kindly say no.

C.But sometimes, you just need to say no.

D.It’s strange to feel guilty for turning someone down.

E.Make it clear that you sincerely appreciate being asked.

F.If you feel it necessary, you can also provide a reason for your answer.

G.Do not give people false hope that you will be able to satisfy their request.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

What Your “Age” Says About You

Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are?

Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. 1

Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade.

2 It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted ( ) and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages.

However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic ( ) as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.

Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. 3 Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic ( ) factors such as education, race or marital status.

4 However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within.

A.It also means better physical health.

B.One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.

C.Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference.

D.These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time.

E.But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way.

F.Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer.

【题目】 The classic model of education a burst at the start and company training — is breaking down. One reason is the need for new and constantly updated skill. Manufacturing increasingly calls for brain work rather than manual labor.

Pushing people into ever-higher levels of formal education at the start of their lives is not the way to handle the problem. Just 16% of Americans think that a four-year college degree prepares students very well for a good job. Although a vocational education promises that vital first hire, those with specialized training tend to withdraw from the labor force earlier than those with general education perhaps because they are less adaptable.

At the same time on-the-job training is shrinking. In America and Britain it has fallen by roughly half in the past two decades. Self-employment is spreading, leaving more people to take responsibility for their own skills. Taking time out later in life to pursue a formal qualification is an option, but it costs money and most colleges are meant for youngsters.

The market is innovating to enable workers to learn and earn in new ways. Providers from General Assembly to Pluralsight are building businesses on the promise of improving careers. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have turned away from lectures on Plato or black holes in favor of courses that make their students more employable. At Udacity and Coursera self-improvers pay for cheap, short programs. By offering degrees online, universities are making it easier for professionals to polish their skills. A single master’s program from Georgia Tech could expand the annual output of computer-science master’s degrees in America by close to 10%.

Lifelong learning starts at school. As a rule, education should not be narrowly vocational. The curriculum needs to teach children how to study and think. A focus on “metacognition” (元认知) will make them better at picking up skills later in life.

1Which is the reason why traditional education is failing?

A.It bursts educators’ bubble in the beginning.B.Companies can’t afford training fees.

C.Old skills can’t meet the present needs.D.It fails to develop one’s brain.

2What can we infer from the text?

A.The more knowledgeable one is, the more likely he is to be employed.

B.Most Americans are poor at their studies in the college.

C.More than 80% of Americans have to be self-employed now.

D.Returning to college after working is not considered worthwhile.

3What does the underlined word “innovating” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Reforming its system.B.Declining little by little.

C.Booming all at once.D.Wasting time and energy.

4How do colleges adapt to the present education model?

A.They open online courses.B.They provide easier access to updated skills.

C.They pay for cheap short programs.D.They lower the standard for master’s degree.
