12．A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin （顽童） was walking around the shining car．"Is this your car，Paul？"he asked．
Paul answered，"Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．"The boy was surprised．"You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything？Boy，I wish…"He hesitated（犹豫）．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that．But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly．
"I wish，"the boy went on，"that I could be a brother like that．"Paul looked at the boy in surprise，and then he said again，"Would you like to take a ride in my car？"
"Oh yes，I'd love that．"
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，"Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？"
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car．But Paul was wrong again．"Will you stop where those two steps are？"the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps．Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back，but he was not coming fast．He was carrying his little crippled （残疾的） brother．He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car．
"There he is，Buddy，just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent．And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about．"
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car．The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride．

Certainly，it is a casual and fictitious（虚构的）story made up by the micro-blogger．However，no one would have guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme（网络快速爆红现象） of 2011in China．Suddenly，the mysterious"Sweeping Old Lady"is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes．From 8a．m．on Jan.5，some netizens collected stories of the"Sweeping Old Lady"and found she had appeared to give advice in 150kinds of careers．A netizen even said he had met with a similar situation in real life．

3．Once Dr．Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man，aged 34，who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving，and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr．Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and，in a very gentle voice，asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like？"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home？"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If you had food that you liked，would you eat it？"
"Yes，yes．"the patient said．
The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious．Nothing was said，but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received．
Later，the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat．One of the students said，"We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose，"the doctor replied，"you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it，would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request？"
"I would probably insist，"the student said．
"Very well，"the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won't be easy，but I can help you．Meanwhile，let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible，and stay with it．Or he'll be killed by hunger．By the way，there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress，we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later，Dr．Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people； you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．
55．The patient had no desire to eat becauseB，
A．he was not hungry                
B．he was not satisfied with the food
C．he was given special meals               
D．he was seriously ill
56．According to the passage，we can conclude thatA．
A．the patient was from another country．
B．the patient's illness was caused by hunger
C．Dr．Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient
D．the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient
57．Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr．Mellinkoff？D
A．Cold   B．Curious．C．Confident．D．Considerate．
58．What do you think Dr．Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case？A
A．Doctors should know their patients'real problems．
B．Doctors should be able to speak foreign languages．
C．Doctors should try to improve their medical skills．

20．Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time？When you select your career，there's whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position．If you ignore your personality，it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay．There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job．Here are a few of those main areas：
1）Do you prefer working alone or with other people？
There are isolating（使孤立） jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy．Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer．There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two，which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation．
2）How do you handle change？
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them，but some are more than others．If you need stability in your life，you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often．Other people would be bored of the same daily routine．
3）Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic．There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer，while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day．Again，these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well．
4）What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly．
5）How do you like to get paid？
Some people are motivated by the pay they get，while others feel too stressed to be like that．The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this．
Anyway，these are a great starting point for you．I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love．It may take you a little longer，but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better．

7．Wouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away？
Well，you CAN．The forecast is written in clouds．If you can read that writing，you can tell something about the atmosphere．With some practice，you can become a pretty good weather forecaster．Who knows，you might even do as well as meteorologists （气象学家）．
Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast．They collect data from all over the world．Then they put it into powerful，high-speed computers．
This does give meteorologists an advantage，because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country．
But you have an advantage，too．You have your brains．You can look at the sky and get your data directly．A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forecast．
What are you seeing when you look at a cloud？"A picture of what moisture （水气） is doing in the atmosphere，"says meteorologist Peter Leavit．There's moisture throughout the atmosphere．Most of the time you don't see it，because it's in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor．
    Sometimes，the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water．That's called condensation，and we see it happen all the time，for example，when humid air from the shower hits the cold glass of a mirror．When enough water vapor condenses，droplets form in the air．These droplets scatter light．A cloud is seen．
Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come．Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere．
You should begin to notice patterns．Certain clouds，fol1owing each other in order，can signal an approaching storm．But don't take our word for it； see for yourself．
53．According to the passage，ordinary people can tell the weather becauseD．
A．they can look up at the sky                         
B．they can read weather writings
C．information is stored in computers              
D．clouds signal the weather to come
54．Your advantage in weather forecast is thatC．
A．you can keep weather patterns in mind．
B．you have more powerful computers at home
C．your brain works as well as a high-speed computer
D．meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them
55．A cloud is formed whenA．
A．there are droplets in the air                        
B．light is scattered
C．moisture exists in the form of invisible gas  
D．water vapor changes to liquid water
56．This passage mainly tells us about howD．
A．to become a weather forecaster                   
B．to collect data directly
C．to be an assistant to a meteorologist             
D．to keep an eye on the weather．
17．Phil White has just returned from an 18，000-mile，around-the-world bicycle trip．White had two reasons for making this  epic journey．First of all，he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity，which he did．He raised￡70，000for the British charity，Oxfam．White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world．He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not．
White set off from Trafalgar Square，in London，on 19th June 2004and was back 299days later．He spent more than l，300hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains．He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe，the Middle East，India，Asia，Australia，New Zealand and the Americas．Amazingly，he did all of this with absolutely no support team．No jeep carrying food，water and medicine．No doctor．Nothing!Just a bike and a very，very long road．

1．Cyril was a small town．The houses there were all made of wood； almost everything in the houses were made of wood，too．And all the houses faced south．The town was never peaceful．Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons．People were puzzled who was the real firebug （纵火犯）．
One day a big fire broke out．It was said that a Negro（黑人） had jumped out of the house on fire，so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street．However，there were fires breaking out when the Negroes were in prison．
Mauson，a physics teacher，didn't believe that the Negroes were the firebugs，and decided to find out who the real firebug was．One day，he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays．Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was．He dashed out of the pub to his friend's house nearby，which also faced south．He made an experiment there to prove his idea．
The next Saturday afternoon，Mauson asked some policemen to come to the house．They were told that the real firebug would be shown there．At that time，the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room．"Now，"said Mauson，"this house will soon catch fire．"People looked at each other in surprise．Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth．After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!
The mystery of fire was discovered，but the police wouldn't believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs．Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison．But Mauson said he would never turn against science．

2．Interviews are difficult to secure for job seekers these days and knowing how to write a cover letter could mean the difference between securing one or being disregarded as a candidate．These letters represent the beginning of the interview process thus care should be taken when formulating one．Employers will consider cover letters as part of the vetting（审查） process when streamlining the applicant pool．The purpose of cover letters is to provide a summary of an applicant's background in relation to an advertised job position．
First of all，a cover letter should indicate knowledge of the position being applied to．In many cases，applicants will use the same letter when applying to multiple jobs．Employers will look at this"form"letter and conclude that the applicant is not really interested in their company．Applicants should provide a general summary of why they should be considered for an interview by stating qualifications and experience related to the job．This need not be long as a few lines can usually suffice．

The basic structure is as follows.1．Address the proper hiring manager in the organization．If possible，try to be specific in naming the individual．If this isn't possible，a"Dear Sir"or"Dear Madame"is a perfectly respectful salutation to use.2．State briefly why your experience would be a good match to the job．You need not write a summary but a few sentences to show your interests and understanding of the job requirements and duties.3．Finish with a persuasive closing why you should be considered for the position．
