Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”

1.. There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2.. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place. 3.

4.. If the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑） his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5.. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A.This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

B. People find jobs in a variety of ways.

C. It’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers

D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.

F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.

Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers —people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence —a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.

Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.

I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits.” Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.

A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.

1.The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to .

A. the fact that people are happy

B. the connection between happiness and educational outcome

C. the fact that people often misunderstand happiness

D. the fact that most people are average

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Scientists are only interested in what the average is.

B. You can choose to be happy or not.

C. The average are not happy at all.

D. Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.

3.Why does the writer mention his articles and research?

A. To advertise himself.

B. To arouse the readers’ interest.

C. To support his point about happiness.

D. To attract the readers to read his articles.

4.What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?

A. To explain what is happiness.

B. To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.

C. To show people the importance of happiness.

D. To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome.

A 2 billion year old Martian (火星的rock appeals to have at our time been full of water from the surface of the Red Planet.

“Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That’s really exciting,” Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico, told the Associated Press.

Agee led a team of scientists who published their report on the newly discovered meteorite （陨石），nicknamed Black Beauly, The rock is estimated to have contained 6,000 parts per million water? and scientists believe it likely interacted with water at a time when most of the planet’s surface was believed to have been arid.

The baseball-size rock was discovered in the Sahara, and scientists say it contains more evidence of water than any of the other known Martian rock samples.

“It’s fairly fresh. It hasn’t been subjected to a whole lot of weathering (风化作用），” University of Alberta meteorite expert Chris Herd told the AP.

Billions of years ago an eruption on the surface of Mars, likely caused by a volcano or planet collision, sent the rock into space, where it eventually made the journey to Earth, Agee and his team said the sample is “strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the Martian surface.”

Over the years, scientists have collected more than 60 Martian rock samples, with most being discovered in the Sahara and Antarctica. The new sample is much older than most of the other specimens, which are about 600 million years old or younger. The oldest known sample is an estimated 4.5 billion years old.

1.The underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.

A. Mara B. the Red Planet

C. Black Beauty D. the report

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Black Beauty has the size of a baseball.

B. Blank Beauty contains the most evidence of water among the known Martian rock samples.

C. An eruption on the surface of Mars sent the rock into Earth directly.

D. Black Beauty is not the oldest known sample.

4.Where can we most probably read this text?

A. In a personal diary. B. In a science report.

C. In a travel magazine. D. In a geography textbook.

Though the political field is still ruled by men, we can still see another splendid scene — those women with high heels and makeup are playing an active role on the political stage.

Theresa May — the Iron Lady who cleans up the mess

She is the second female Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader after Margaret Thatcher. The mess left by men is finally for women to clean up. After the worldwide–shocking “Brexit”, Cameron has successfully thrown Theresa into trouble. A remain campaigner as she was, Theresa insists that “Brexit means Brexit”. Since taking office, she has already shown her calmness, humbleness, efficiency and powerful leadership.

Merkel — the unquestioned “Big Sister”

From a PhD in physics to a role on the political stage, she is Merkel, the first female chancellor(总理)in German history. Facing the European migrant crisis, she advocated the policy of “Open the Door” and put forward the slogan “We are able to manage it”. However, the coming of refugees not only caused serious social security problems but also brought terrorism and political tsunami.

Hillary — a woman’s presidential dream

Born in a wealthy business family and graduating from Law School of Yale University, Hillary struggled for thirty years on the US political stage and was once the First Lady, Federal Senator and Secretary of State. She is an outstanding but controversial woman in this day and age, since she is rich in not only political experience but also scandals. Hillary, early 70 years old now, ran for the US president twice, only ending up with a broken dream.

Park Geun-hye — a woman who married the country

In December, 2012, the 60-year-old Park Geun-hye was elected the first female president of South Korea. She once pledged: “I don’t have parents, nor do I have a husband and children, and the country is the only one I wish to serve.” Yet the “confidante(红颜知己)scandal” was undoubtedly a political earthquake for her, ending her presidency and forcing her out of office in March, 2017.

1.What does Theresa May mean by saying Brexit means Brexit?

A. She will carry on Brexit. B. She will postpone Brexit.

C. She will oppose Brexit. D. She will think twice about Brexit.

2.Who ran for presidency twice but in vain?

A. Merkel B. Theresa May

C. Hillary D. Park Geun-hye

3.What can we infer about the four women?

A. Theresa May is better than the former Prime Minister.

B. Merkel is doubtful about her policy towards the refugees.

C. Hillary is the most successful First Lady.

D. Park Geun-hye was in office for not more than five years.

Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything. Many people make the mistake that they view themselves as lazy.

Lazy people are often seen as useless. They are the ones who don’t do anything. They can be seen as underachievers or even bums（废物）. This can be a child or an adult. You can view a student who never studies as lazy. You can see an employee who doesn’t do his work as lazy. In all of these cases, what the lazy person is doing is being lazy. But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy?

There is a huge different between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it’s permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t; they simply are people who are temporarily acting that way.

So that causes a person to be inactive? The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough reason to do something, they will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do something. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the point in studying. If you give them a reason, a strong enough reason, they will take action.

For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go if someone offered you a million dollars to go? If you are too lazy to go to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative as long as it’s strong enough to induce（引起）action.

To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is to help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal.

1.According to the passage, who can be viewed as acting lazy?

A. A student who always cheats out the garage.

B. A husband who never cleans out the garage.

C. A clerk who si always scolded for being useless.

D. A mother who doesn’t feel like cooking on Sunday.

2.The main reason why people are not active is that___________.

A. they are aimless

B. they lack enough money

C. they have too many negative feelings

D. they find no point in learning new things

3.The purpose of the writing is to help readers___________.

A. to recognize one’s weakness

B. to see laziness in a different way

C. to have a clear idea about what a habit is

D. to inspire students to be hard-working

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Being lazy and cat lazy

B. Laziness and motivation

C. Temporary and permanent.

D. Being positive and negative

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

A.Paul Newman wanted it. B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

C.He wasn’t famous enough. D.The director recommended someone else.

2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

A.They were of the same dge. B.They worked in the same theater.

C.They were both good actors. D.They han similar charactertics.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Their belief. B.Their care for chileden.

C.Their success. D.Their support for each other.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

A.To show his love of films. B.To remember a friend.

C.To introduce a new movie. D.To share his acting experience.

—Peter, please send us postcards ______ we’ll know where you have visited.

A. but B. or C. for D. so
