My mother is taking a tour of the new house via Skype. I leaned the laptop so she can see where she's going,pleased that our Internet connection in Zimbabwe is holding. "This is the living room," I say. Then I tell mydaughter,s;Show Grandma the bed for the mummy and the daddy. " From a continent away, Grandma gave herapproval.

Mum had a dollhouse,too. My grandmother,a single mother, did not have enough money to buy my mother areal dollhouse. So Mum made do,laboring over her square cookie tin for years. She stuck patterns on the bright walls : tin cans of jam and bags of flour to make sure the dolls' store was overflowing.

My mother passed her love of life in miniature( 缩影 ) on to me very early. At age 5,1 made chests of drawers for my dollhouse bedroom from matchboxes glued together. Unlike my mother,l was given some ready-made doll furniture and accessories. My mother encouraged me,always responding to my calI,"Come to see what I've made Lrur IIly clollhuuse ! "

I spent hours writing a book with the unoriginal but certainly accurate title " How To Make Dolls' House Furniture". The book was lost in a household move. But the satisfying feeling of filling up blank pages with my

own ideas stayed with me,pushing me into a career centered on words.

My daughter turned 3 recently, and last month I put a strong empty cardboard box,about the size of a tea tray(托盘) ,in Cassia's bedroom. I searched the shops for dollhouse furniture. But an afternoon's searching yielded only a pink plastic toilet and sink. It doesn't matter,l told myself. I showed Cassia how to make plates for her table from coloured buttons. Fascinated, she collected black stones.

What my mother gave me was much more than a fascination with tiny things :It was the ability to view things from a new perspective(角度) , to put oneself in another person's shoes , and to solve problems with whatever is at hand.

A new study supports the view that jobs aren't simply a love-at-first-sight deal. Rather, they say that achieving passion for your work is something you can develop over time.

Unlike the main way of thinking that you'Il only achieve passion for your work through finding the right fit with a line of work - what the researchers call "fit theory" , the researchers say you can learn to love your job and find meaning in it gradually(“developing theory").

We probably hear and think a l.t more about "fit theory" than “developing theory" because we've become used to it. "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work," said Steve Jobs. “And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'II know when you find it. "

Chen and colleagues examined some students' career attitudes and expectations with regard to "fit theory"and "developing theory". "People can achieve similar levels of passion at work by accepting either the fit or develo-ping theory. The key difference lies in how these results are reached : fit theorists(理论家) tend to self-select into lines of work that fit them from the start, while developing theorists grow into that fit over time. "

Fit theorists tend to value enjoyment at the expense of good pay, while developing theorists are willing to let enjoyment take a back seat to other goals, safe in the knowledge that they'll grow into the role and find enjoyment over time.

Everyone has moments of being bored with their work,but it's important to keep your thoughts focused on the bigger picture, your Iong-term goals , and whv you took the role in the first place.

1.According to the "fit theory" , a person will_________.

A. treat his job as a great deal

B. try to seek passion for a job

C. find the meaning in his job slowly

D. learn to achieve his dream gradually

2.The writer quoted Steve Jobs' speech to prove____________.

A. the romantic idea of "fit theory"

B. the difficulty of finding passion for jobs

C. the great pursuit of satisfying jobs

D. the influence of "fit theory" on the business

3.If you hate your job , you are advised to___________.

A. consider your situation as a whole

B. try other new jobs as soon as possible

C. consider your role in your work first

D. start your work from the beginning again

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. You Will Have Passion for Your Work

B. You Can Learn to Love Your Job

C. You Will Finally Achieve Your Job Goal

D. You Can Get Enjoyment from Your Work

Satellites play big roles in modern life. Some look downward to monitor environmental conditions on Earth.Others look outward in search of major solar flares(耀斑) that can trouble the transmission(传送) of electrical power to homes and businesses. Some spy on our enemies. Others relay communications around the globe. But all of these million-dollar wonders of technology can be knocked out by a collision with space junk ---debris (碎片 )from satellites and other earthly technology orbiting high above the planet. Now,a teen from Jordan has designed a satellite to chase down space junk , collect it and then deal with it.

Even bits of space junk as small as dots of paint pose a threat , says Dana. That's because this debris orbits our planet at speeds up to some 28,200 kilometers per hour. Such high speed explains why tiny paint dots have damaged the windshields of space shuttles so badly that they needed to be replaced.

Researchers have come up with many ideas for getting rid of space junk. Some have suggested vaporizing(蒸发) small bits with lasers. Others have proposed launching satellites to collect the debris. Dana's design falls into this category.

Here's how hers would work : A radar system aboard the satellite would scan and find a piece of space junk.Then,thrusters(推进器)would change the satellite's orbit so that it could chase down the errant object. As the satellite closed in on its prey, cameras would keep it on target.

At the last minute,a door that leads to a container would open. This container needs to be strong so that it doesn't break apart when the satellite swallows the space junk,Dana explains. Finally,when the trash container was full,it would be lowered toward the earth on a kilometer-long cable and its contents released into the upper atmosphere. There, the space junk would harmlessly burn up just like a meteor (流星) does. Meanwhile, her satellite would roll the container back up so that it could collect more trash.

1.What is focused on in the first paragraph?

A. The types of satellites being categorized into.

B. The tracks of satellites orbiting above the planet.

C. The sources of space junk coming from.

D. The danger that satellites face in space.

2.Why can small pieces of space junk threaten satellites?

A. They travel at a very high speed.

B. They are difficult to track by satellites.

C. They can blow up into millions of pieces.

D. They are as soft as a ball in the air.

3.The underlined words "the errant object" refer to_____.

A. the radar system that scans space junk

B. the space junk that travels in disorder

C. the satellite that doesn't keep its track

D. the camera that can't keep space junk on target

4.According to the Dana's design, space junk in her satellite___________.

A. will be swallowed and stored in its trash bin

B. will be broken apart in the trash container

C. will be destroyed by heat in the upper atmosphere

D. will be transported to the earth through a cable

How to Deal With Losing in Sports

Winning and losing go hand-in-hand when it comes to sports. Great athletes never let the highs get too high,

or the lows get too low. The result of a match is uncertain. The only thing that is certain is the competition itself.

1. The result is just the result of all the hard work put in.

Congratulate your opponent (对手) after a loss. Respect your opponent because he put in as much work, or more than you. This shows respect for the opponent and respect for the contest.

Accept the fact that the loss is no one's fault. This is harder to do in an individual sport , but absolutely impor-tant in a team sport. 2. Don't get down on yourself. If competing in an individual sport , accept that losing is apart of competing and move on.

Examine why you lose the competition. Ask yourself if you did everything possible to prepare for the competition. Ask yourself if you gave it all during the competition. 3. This is crucial if competing in an individual sport. If competing in a team sport,recognize that everyone isn't perfect and examine the loss from the team opinion.

4. Practice more, and practice better. Correct whatever mistakes made during the match. Get bigger,

stronger, faster, smarter and do whatever it takes.

Seek out the support and encouragement of teammates and coaches. Don't allow yourself to think negatively.Avoid negative people. 5.__

Never accuse a competitor of cheating, even if it were true. Again, this will make you seem as if you are looking for excuses.

A. Don't put blame to anyone.

B. Work harder to get better.

C. Train hard to achieve your aim.

D. Winning is No. I for great athletes.

E. Great athletes love the competition.

F. Stay positive and trust your work value.

G. Analyze any mistakes you might have made.
