   I'm the type of person who like to have one or two good friend rather than lots of acquaintances. Well,when my family moves away from our hometown,I really needed to make some new friends. Because I'm very much shy,I thought I should change my personality to become most outgoing. But that was very difficulty for me. I began to regret leave my hometown. Then,all of sudden,I got a call from my old friend. His family would move here pretty soon. Since then,they have always spent some time together and under his help,I’ve made a lot of new friends.

   “Come on,Izz. You can do it. Move those arms. Kick." My 7-year-old daughter was doing laps,and I wanted her to keep up with the other swimmers. She couldn’ t.

   Neither could she hear my frustration,because the swimming club would not allow parents on the desk(甲板) . Parents waited in a glass balcony overlooking the pool.

   When she came up to greet me,ready to be hugged,I lit into her. “Why didn't you try to finish the lap? How hard could it have been?”

   My daughter drew away from me. “You can't even swim,” she said.

   She was right. I couldn't swim.

   Her words stayed with me. I asked myself: What does it take to learn something new? Did it help when someone criticized me?

   I was pushing my daughter to do something I had never tried.

   Before next week's lesson arrived,I attended a swimming class for adults. When my daughter went to do laps,I went to the smaller pool at the other end of the club.

   Each week,Isabelle and I came up from our separate pools tired but happy. We shared what we had done,hugged,and went out for a treat.

   At the end of the eight-week course,I proudly showed her my first swimming badge(徽章) . “You can do laps with me now,” said my daughter.

   No,not yet. I had made it across the pool,but couldn't finish its length. My arms had felt like lead,and my legs like rubber.

   More important than the swimming badge,though,I had earned a “parenting badge." I had rediscovered the thrill and frustration of trying something new. My child was doing this every day — at the pool,at school,at home. Now,so was her mom.

   You could be jetting off to foreign countries,staying in five-star hotels,eatihg in top-class restaurants,and it's all paid for by your employer. Who wouldn’t want a job that involves foreign travel?

   36 There is a big difference between travelling to Milan as a tourist and travelling there to spend a day in the type of hotel meeting room that can be found anywhere in Europe. Speak to seasoned international business travellers to get an idea of what you will face. Flights can be delayed,things can go wrong and it's easy to get exhausted. 37    Simply targeting any job that involves foreign travel is not the way to start. Making travel your first requirement is not the way to choose a career. 38 Instead,you should consider all the usual factors(因素) ，such as qualifications and experience,and only then choose a sector (行业) or company that offers opportunities for international travel.

   The travel and hotel trades are obvious areas,but the commercial sector also offers chances for travel. In the retail(零售) sector,buyers often travel,especially if they work in fresh produce. Employment in communications,banking and finance,and property management is also worth looking at. 39 The number of jobs involving travel,especially at middle-management level,is growing.

   So what will help you secure a role with an international flavour? 40 A second language is a good indication of how well someone will adapt. You need to show you are flexible and willing to learn. If your company has a sister company in the Czech Republic,for instance,learning some Czech will boost your chances.

   A. But not all employers are like this.

   B. But it's not always as exciting as it sounds.

   C. Many jobs mean travelling alone,so you can be lonely.

   D. They will limit the amount that people travel each year.

   E. Employers look for candidates with an international outlook.

   F. It is as illogical as saying you want a job that involves wearing smart clothes.

   G. Almost any career can mean international travel,if you choose the right company and role.

  The human face may have been built for certain basic functions 一 eating,breathing,seeing — but the 43 separate muscles that keep it constantly moving mean it is constantly communicating too. For example,every eyebrow lift means something. That's good news for a small growing field of business that uses facial analysis to figure out if an advertisement or a TV pilot(实验性节目) appeals to consumers.

   Affectiva,a 30-person operation in America,is the most successful of these companies. A decide ago,Rana el Kaliouby began collecting video samples (样本） of faces with the goal of helping autistic(患自闭症的) children. “Autistic kids have a hard time reading faces,” she says, “so the plan was to design a system that tells them that the person they’ re talking to is smiling,say,or looks confUsed." In 2006,the National Science Foundation sponsore her to continue her work at the. MIT Media Lab. Industry groups regularly visit the lab and el Kaliouby’s research impressed them. “They asked , ^ Have you thought of using what you are working on to test a product?’ ” she recalls. So,in 2009 she and her MIT professor established Affectiva to do just that.

   For a starting fee of $2,500,Affectiva makes its software available to marketers. Volunteers watch a video on a computer screen while the camera in the computer watches them back. Volunteers always know it is there and when they,re being recorded,which doesn’ t materially affect the results. Engagement,boredom,amusement,displeasure and more are tracked and analyzed. The database Affectiva uses to conduct those analyses is made up of more than 2. 5 million facial video samples. The software also takes factors such as sex,culture and age into account. “Women tend to smile more than men,” el Kaliouby says.

   Market testing is only the lowest-hanging fruit. El Kaliouby expects to expand the business to political polling(民意测验) and analysis,as well as helping teachers of online courses assess student engagement. She is still interested in autism and other psychological conditions. There are some potential growth areas that are more controversial: lie detection and airport security,for example. For Affectiva,they’ re no-go zones. “We believe volunteers should always have the right to decide whether to be tested,so for that reason we don't want to be in security ,” el Kaliouby says. That,of course,leaves that space open to new competitors.

28. When el Kaliouby founded Affectiva,she wanted to.

   A. look for sponsors

   B. help autistic children

   C. create a video sample database

   D. test commercials and TV pilots

29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

   A. The computer. B. The camera.

   C. The screen. D. The video.

30. We can infer that “new competitors” mentioned in the last paragraph may use facial analysis to.

   A. do political polling and analysis

   B. assess online students’ engagement

   C. examine whether people are telling lies

   D. help people with psychological conditions

31. In which part of a magazine Can we read the text?

   A. Technology.   B. Education.

   C. Lifestyle. D. Society.

   “Is anyone coming?” Jade Blossom whispered.

   “How come you guys don't bunt(顶撞) ?”

   “It's only a rumor(传闻) ，” Abuji said as I cleared the table.

To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.

Common sense is not all that common.

Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse

These three popular misquotes (戏虐的引语) are meant to be jokes,and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err,or to make mistakes,is indeed a part of being human,but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this： “To err is human,to forgive,divine (神圣的) .” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead,we tend to do the opposite —find someone else to pass the blame on to. However,taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.

Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well,and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm,but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations,because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company,uthe right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. ”

And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people,especially young people,get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time.There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest,then where is the place of the truth?

46. According to the passage,which of the following seems the most human?

   A. To search for truth.

   B. To achieve one's ideal.

   C. To make fun of others’ mistakes.

   D. To criticize others for one's own error.

47. According to the author,what is a sign of a man's maturity?

   A. Doing things his own way.

   B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.

   C. Making as few mistakes as possible.

   D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoings.

48. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?

   A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.

   B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.

   C. A company's next move follows a good plan.

   D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.

49. What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?

   A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.

   B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.

   C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.

   D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.

50. What would be the best title for this passage?

   A. A Mirror of Human Nature

   B. To Blame or to Forgive

   C. A Mark of Maturity

   D. Truth of Excuse
