20.ChancesI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业).
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn‘t have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job.Looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday,I was in the park with the children,and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation.She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children.I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school.She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful.My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course.I had to leave my job with the family,and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.

10.Carpooling is when a driver offers to take passengers in exchange for some money for petrol.As (41)a rsult,carpooling can be (42)cheaper (cheap) han public transport because everynoe in the car shares the cost of petrol.I(43)recently (recent) did carpooling for the first time and it was very easy to find a driver.I used a website (44)which/that lists drivers'profiles (简介) and found someone who was going to the same place as me.A lot of information can(45)be seen (see) in the profiles such as their first name,age and gender(性别) as well as reviews from other passengers.I decided (46)to travel (travel) with a lady who had very good reviews.
I found carpooling to be a(n)(47)impressive (impress) experience.Not only was the trip very cheap,but the driver and the other passengers were really friendly.They were all French so I had the chance to practise (48)speaking (speak) some French.When I waved goodbye to them,a thought  suddenly occurred to me (49)that  carpooling could be the future of travel.Both drivers and passengers can benefit (50)from  this form  of travel.It saves money,and perhaps more importantly,carpooling provides a fantastic opportunity to meet interesting people on your travels.
17.If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently,the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art,history and philosophy.Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United States,at the same time,are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever,and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker,he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West,even if his birthday is.

25.The opening paragraph is mainly intended toB
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.attract the readers'interest in the subject
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

15.Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame,we often do everything possible to avoid it."We're taught from our earlist days that if you quit something.It means you're a failure,"says counseling psychologist Will Meek.He,however,suggests we view quitting differently.
Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room:you've grown comfortable with the status,and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary.And yet,there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances,perhaps even that you've stopped making progress.While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit,leaving a position,project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities,making you feel inspired and renewed.
Quitting,often happens in situations where we're unhappy,fearful or have determined we have no other choice,factors that can have opposing effects on our health.Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling,or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready-and,as a result,you're operating under intense pressure."If stress is enduring and not managed well,it can start to take a toll."says Meek.According to the American Psychological Association,long-term,ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack,so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits."We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇),which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,"says Dr Alex Lickerman,a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.
Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you.In a study that was published in 1999,then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets-someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers,for instance,was asked to take on personal interactions.Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through‘imitation strategies'-an approach they compared to‘trying on different clothes,'Mark Franklin,the president of CareerCyles,suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self."Pretend to be a certain kind of person,or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do."he says,"Try it on,see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you."It may not feel like it at the time,but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.
