17．The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately．Job Searching under ——青夏教育精英家教网—

17．The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately．Job Searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from rela-tively few options．If you are not in need of an immediate career change，here are ways you can improve your long-term career prospects （前景） today：
Identify at least two different roles．You do not have to be qualified for these positions today，nor do they have to exist in your company．However，these roles should be related to your current skill set．They are career options that look interesting．Once you have a couple of targets，think about why and what interests you．Pay close attention to what appeals to you，and write it down．This will give insight into your motivations and targets．
Subscribe to a career specific magazine．Knowledge is power in the workplace．All busi-nesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue（收益）．Reading about industry trends，advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions．This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the peck．You can follow their examples in your own workplace．If you associate with those that stand out from the rest，you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities．
Do exceptional work．In any role，there is a way to perform at your best．Look for ways to deliver a top performance．Show up early，be flexible to new assignments，have a positive attitude，cooperate with other departments，pay attention to the little details．
Be professionally curious．Talk to people about their careers．Learn more about how success is measured in other roles，departments and companies．Ask people their thoughts on different industries．Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time．People hire people．You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search，so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go．Take the time to learn about others，and be helpful when you can．
As in all things in life，getting in front of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise．Changing jobs is to be expected．No matter how secure you feel today，the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change．

13．No poem should ever be discussed or"analyzed"，until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student．Better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end，so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears．
All discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is，finally，the most telling（生动的）"interpretation"of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once．Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on film，is obviously a special reward．But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or，best of all，reciting it．
I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than"analyzing"it，if there isn't time for both．I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry．Poetry is"a criticism of life"，and"a heightening of life"．It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and
literature more central than it presently occupies．
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry．Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else．But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essetial nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it．

32．To have a better understanding of a poem，one shouldC．
A．discuss it with others
B．analyze it by oneself
C．practice reading it aloud
D．copy it down in a notebook
33．According to the writer，one of the purposes of teaching English is to get studentsA．
A．to enjoy poetry
B．to understand life
C．to become teacher
D．to become poets
34．The underlined word"make room"（ in the last paragraph）probably meansD．
A．to build a booth
B．to provide equipment
C．to set aside enough space
D．to leave a certain amount of time
35．What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply？B．
A．Poetry is more important than any other subject．
B．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry．
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry．
D．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses．

The notebooks of top students in the Gaokao are sold out at a high price online．Our class had a debate on it．Students hold different views．
Some students are in favor of buying them online．They think top students'notebooks are worth reading and can save them much time．（高分句型一）Besides，they can make full use of the notes to improve their learning．（高分句型二）In addition，reusing notebooks is also environmentally friendly．However，others don't agree．They think top students'notebooks are not necessarily suitable for everybody else．What's more，students can remember what teachers explain in class better if they take notes themselves．（高分句型三）
Personally，I insisted on taking notes myself and not buying others．．

10．You get anxious if there's no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain．You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power，and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you're not there．All these can be called"always on"stress caused by smart phone addiction．
For some people，smart phones have liberated them free from the nine-to-five work．Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families．For many others though，smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets，never allowing them to turn them off and relax．
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone．So he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage．The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached．"Moment's goal is to promote balance in your life，"his website explains．"Some time on your phone，some time off of it enjoying your loving family and friends around you．"
Dr Christine Grant，an occupational psychologist at Coventry University，said，"The effects of this‘always on'culture are that your mind is never resting，and you're not giving your body time to recover，so you're always stressed．And the more tired and stressed we get，the more mistakes we make．Physical and mental health can suffer．"
And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing，so is the amount of data．This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis（瘫痪）and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage．"It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they're controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office，"said Dr Christine Grant．

28．What's the first paragraph mainly about？A
A．The signs of"always on"stress．
B．The progress of modern technology．
C．The popularity of smart phones．
D．The solutions of smart phone addiction．
29．Kevin Holesh developed Moment toD．
A．research how people use their mobile phones
B．increase the fun of using mobile phones
C．make people better use mobile phones
D．help people control their use of mobile phones
30．What's Dr Christine Grant's attitude towards"always on"culture？C
A．Confused．B．Positive．C．Critical．D．Doubtful．
31．According to the last paragraph，a greater amount of data meansB．
A．we can work more effectively
B．we will become less productive
C．we will be equipped with more knowledge
D．we can make a decision more quickly．
