I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:

Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates(同事) are content to be gainfully employed.

Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur(企业家) then you’ll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you’ve ever made.

If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that organization your all.

Be personable(有风度的). If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at least one anecdote(轶事) about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of the brightest and best lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.

In short, you must have the interpersonal(人与人之间的) insight(洞察力) to interact(互动) with internal(内部的) and external(外部的) contacts. If not, you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you’re selling.

Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.

Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.

Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you.

Title: The Greatest Journey

【题目】Spending a term abroad can be one of the most thrilling experiences of your college career，but it’s challenging to adapt to a new culture，especially when you don’t speak the native language. The following are top tips of the experts on improving your time abroad.

Set specific goals.

“Set goals for yourself when going abroad so that you can bring experiences back home with you，”says Harrison，the Outreach Manager of Go Abroad. “Whether you want to learn to cook a traditional recipe from your host family or pack for the long-term，these lessons of daily life can translate back home. How you choose to learn from your experiences，or even apply them as transferable job skills，will make all the difference.”

____________________

“Make at least one local friend，”says Matthew，co-founder of Students Gone Global. “Join a club，community service group，or a sports league — it will help you form a network and find people you click with. Go out of your way to talk to students in your classes.”

Sign up for classes that allow you to explore.

“Take classes that are interesting and related to the local culture.” says Matthew. “I highly recommend classes with field trips because your professor can show you a side of the country you never would have seen on your own.”

If you’re staying with a host family, do get to know them.

“When living with a host family, be mindful of their lifestyle and try your best to adapt to it，”says Lauren，a member of Go Abroad ’s Content ＆ Outreach Team, “Have a conversation about rules and customs right away to be sure you know what your host family expects of you. Join yourself in their way of life — try every meal that is offered to you at least once，and ask them to teach you how to play their favorite sport or game.”

【题目】Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

The time we have is usual limited. However, even an hour is of much valuable. We should make full use of your time to do useful things. As students, we mustn’t study hard so as to serve for our society and our nation in the future. But it is pity that there are a lot of people who didn’t know the importance of time. They spend their valuable time smoke and drinking. They don’t realize that wasting time is the same as wasting a part of their life. Remember, don’t put off which you can do today until tomorrow.

Haikou—A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon．

It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan．

Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance when they were fishing in sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach．

Police temporarily protected the shark while oceanographers(海洋学家) decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection．

Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection．

The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo．It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal bleeding．

Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative．Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago．

However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach．

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive．It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity．Some of them were not sure how to use it．They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves．Then they served them mixed with butter and salt．They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches．

Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century．During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it．

At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk．Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it．Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk．

At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening．No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess（公爵夫人）found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it．She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born ．

【1】This passage mainly discusses ______．

A．the history of tea drinking in Britain

B．how tea became a popular drink in Britain

C．how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea

D．how tea-time was born

【2】Tea became a popular drink in Britain ______．

A．in the sixteenth century

B．in the seventeenth century

C．in the eighteenth century

D．in the late seventeenth century

【3】People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because ______．

A．it tasted like milk

B．it tasted more pleasant

C．it became a popular drink

D．Madame de Sevinge was so great that people tried to copy the way she drank tea

【4】We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of ______．

A．a famous French lady

B．the ancient Chinese

C．the upper(上层的) social class

London has more than nine million visitors every year．They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames．

You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses or you can take a ride on the London Eye．This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames．From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city．

The River Thames is London's main waterway．It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography．So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river．

The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London．The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation．

No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city．After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot．It is Europe's oldest palace and prison．

Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old．

Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous．It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837．You can visit some of the rooms in August and September．Most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard．

About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor．Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes — Windsor Castle, Europe's biggest castle．

Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring．So, the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast．

For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread．Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea．You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes．

Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by．

【1】Which of the following is not suggested as one of the best ways to make sense of London?

A．Taking a trip along the Thames．

B．Subway．

C．Tour buses．

D．London Eye．

【2】According to the story, which place may be London's most visited tourist spot?

A．Buckingham Palace． B．The Tower of London．

C．Big Ben． D．The River Thames．

【3】If you go to London in December, you will not be able to ______．

A．tour the city along the River Thames

B．visit Windsor Castle

C．watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards

D．tour the Buckingham Palace

【4】The word "starters" in the last paragraph but four means ______．
