3.Forgiveness is really a gift we give to ourselves.A (61)poweful(power)way of forgiving is to see past the adult behavior to the little innocent child within the person we would like to forgive.
Betty was having a particularly hard time because her father had acted wrongly.Yet(62)continuing(continue)to hate him was causing much unhappiness in Betty's life.
I asked her to find a picture of her father as a young child and put it in a place (63)whereshe could see it often.She found a photo of him(64)taken(take)at the age of six.As she more and more studied the photo,she began to see the sadness and loneliness in his eyes.A month (65)1ater(late),Betty found a photo of her father at ten years old.His eyes were still full(66)ofsadness and loneliness.Through studying these(67)photos(photo),Betty was able to feel compassion(同情)for her father's childhood.This compassion did not make her father's actions right,(68)but Betty could now understand the pain in her father.Betty's heart was free of the itterness and hatred(憎恨)she(69)had carried(carry)for most of her life.Forgiveness for her father was a gift she gave to herself.
Perhaps there are similar gifts you could give yourself.You should (70)fully(full)feel your love and not have it covered by past hatred.
9.High school dropouts (辍学者) earn an average of $9,000 less per year than graduates.
Now a new study moves away a common belief why they quit.It's much more than failing in
exams at school.
Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can't cut it.They are lazy,and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450kids who quit school about why they left.
"The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school."John Bridgeland,the executive researcher said.About one million teens leave school each year.Only about half of African-American and Hispanic students will receive a diploma,and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision.So,if failing grades don't explain why these kids quit,what does?Again,John Bridgeland:"The most dependable finding was that they were bored.""They found classes uninteresting; they weren't inspired or motivated.They didn't see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives,or to their career aspirations."The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit.In the US,only one state,
New Mexico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate.Only
four states:California,Tennessee,Texas and Utah,plus tile District of Columbia,require
school attendance until age 18,no exceptions,another researcher,says raising tile compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.
"As these dropouts look back,they realize they've made a mistake.And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end,is probably helpful measure."
New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics
say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point--the need for reform.It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant,and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS)

81.What do people think of those who quit school?Lazy and not bright
82.Many students quit school not because they cannot pass grades but because they find
Lessonsuninteresting and not relevant to real life
83.Why don't some students quit until they are sixteen?Because that's the age to be allowed to quit
84.According to the passage,the more effective way to keep students from quitting is to
reform or reinvent high school education.
16.The world would have been so much better if we all knew to say and do the right thing at the right time.However,that is not the case,especially when it comes to instilling (逐步培养) proper behavior in kids.Behavior modification(BM) techniques were recently created to help in instilling proper behavior in children as well as adults.
Behavior modification refers to establishing appropriate behaviors in individuals and discouraging those that are not desirable.The techniques are used in behavior modification therapy that aims to correct and instill appropriate behavior in children.
The most commonly used behavior modification techniques are positive reinforcement,negative reinforcement and punishment.Positive reinforcement refers to reinforcing a desired behavior through the process of rewarding it.Negative reinforcement behavioral strategies are based on the removal of a negative consequence or a behavior because the desired behavior was performed.Punishment refers to subjecting(使服从于) an individual to a negative condition because of an inappropriate behavior.
The behavior modification techniques for children are mostly based on positive and negative reinforcement.However,parents should realize that these techniques can't be relied upon totally for child behavior modification.This can be done through effective communication and greater focus on the parent-child relationship.As a parent,don't make the reward a monetary one.Try to make it look more like a privilege than a reward.
Although we talk so much about the role of a parent in bringing positive behavior modification in children,both parents and teachers have equally important roles to play.Teachers play their role through preventive classroom management,teaching social problem-solving skills like alternative thinking,and continuous monitoring of a child's behavior.It is true that there are various behavior modification techniques available for encouraging proper behavior in children.However,there is nothing that can take the place of proper parenting and an affectionate environment.

6.Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air for their children,but experts now have identified a related threat to children's health that isn't as easy to get rid of:third-hand smoke.

"Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad,(43)Athey don't know about this,"said Dr.Jonathan P.Winickoff,the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
"When their kids are(44)Bthe house,they might smoke.Or they smoke in the car.Or they settle the kid in the car seat in the back and(45)Cthe window and smoke,and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their (46)C.We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins(毒素)that aren't(47)A."

13.Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks.First,as the interviewer,you're tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.
You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can't be found on a résumé.Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee,you end up asking question after question,applicant after applicant.
Still,interviewers need to be told something:"What is your biggest weakness?"is not a good question.It just isn't.
Now,job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others.Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively.Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?
Honesty,with a twist(新手法)
"‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses?'is a classic,but not too many people know how to answer this,"says Kenneth C.Wisnefski,founder and CEO of WebiMax,an online marketing company.
"As an interviewer,we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主动性),motivation and dedication.The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific‘personal statements.'"
"Similarly,weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer."
"I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength,and put an interesting twist on it.An example of this is,‘My initiative is so strong,that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.'"
This answer leads with a strength that employers want-initiative-and still acknowledges that you're not perfect.
Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest,it works because it proves you're being honest.
Honesty,with progress
When you consider what your weaknesses are,think about how you have attempted to overcome them.No one is perfect,so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.
Debra Davenport,author of"Career Shuffle,"believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
"My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant's image."Davenport explains.
"A better response might be,‘I've had some challenges with work-life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn't good for me,my family or my employer.I've taken the time to learn better time and project management,and I'm also committed to my overall wellness.'"
The answer adds some dimension to the question,and proves you've thought beyond the answer.You've actually changed your behavior to address the situation,even if you haven't completely overcome the weakness.
Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes
However you decide to answer,Debra Yergen,author of"Creating Job Security Resource Guide,"recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.
"If you were doing the hiring,what would you be looking for?What would be your motivation for asking certain questions?Who would you be trying to weed out?If you can empathize (共鸣) with the interviewer,you can better understand what they want and need,and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek."
Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is,you'll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.

(73)Tips/Suggestions/Adviceto interviewees for replying to a tricky question
☆Understand that the interviewers want to (74)distinguish between applicants and that asking a question seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see an applicant's (75)creativity.
☆Be (76)honest and inventive when asked about your weaknesses,and respond properly.
☆Never (77)pretend you are perfect,which may be believed to be insincere.
☆Try to show that you've changed a lot (78)though/althoughyou haven't completely get rid of your weaknesses.
☆Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes and have a better  (79)understanding  of their needs for the job.

Conclusion
☆With the goal of the question (80)taken into account and the honest answer in your mind,you will be able to give the best possible answer.
