　　 Most people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will help them in reaching' their goals. Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your Services that will help you achieve your goals.

　　 Marketing yourself means you are simply "selling" yourself. The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is not good to do this. They think that marketing only concerns businesses. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to get the success they desire must promote themselves.

　　 　　In every attempt you make, just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more Opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how wonderful you are. It simply means telling your prospective (未来的) employer that you exist, and that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes. Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better. There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primary approaches that you do. The first is that you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct waysin order for the people to find you and make connection with you.

　　 In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee. When you market yourself, you tell people .who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practise your message.In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Keep in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact (影响) especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you ore wearing. Have a plenty of time to decide what you will wear. Just remember to make a great first impression!

A. It is a very useful skill.　　　　　　　　　　　 B. It is in increasing demand.

C. It is only about businesses.　　　　　　　　 D. It is natural.

73. According to Paragraph 3, marketing yourself.

A. is similar to selling a very useful tool　　　　　

B. makes you have more chances to succeed

Passage 1

　　 The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services: the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing 　the system to close, down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowded road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of Course, there's Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don't trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.

Passage 2

　　 Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herdman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday.

Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subjects. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (变白) of the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁) , which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.

71. Passage 2 is most probably _____ .

　 A. a Poster about a lecture　　　　　　　　 B. an ad for a new book

　 C. a note to a doctor in a university　　　　　 D. an introduction to a professor

　　 A boy and a girl glance about the crowded room. Their eyes meet. Embarrassed, they look away.The boy acts cool even though his heart is beating wildly. The girl, obviously nervous, is afraid that the boy will see her looking at him. A few seconds passes. He looks at her again. Her face becomes red. They continue their cat-and-mouse game for a long time. Will they ever talk to each other?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　 The fact is that they have already communicated a lot, without ever saying anything. Nonverbal elements form a major part of any communication. People pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When we study a foreign culture, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues (暗示).

　　 Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate "OK' with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means "money" to the Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason,people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.

　　 Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about--space.When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的 ) to apologize. But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic (种族的) origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.

　　 Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating.How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That's why it's possible to "read someone like a book".

　London is my favorite city in the world and it's a place that draws me back to it again and again.

　My first trip to London at the age of 19 was my first solo trip anywhere. I found a homestay program in one of my guidebooks so I spent my first several days staying on the outstreets of London near Ealing Broadway. Each morning the older lady I was staying with would come into my room and place a cup of tea by my bedside and then wake me up so I could have breakfast and start my day of sight-seeing. It was like having my own British grandmother.

　　 On that first trip to the UK, which was three weeks long, I decided to spend a week in London and then the rest of the time in Liverpool with a pen pal of mine. Well, after traveling up to Liverpool and spending two days with him, I found we really weren't such great friends after all, so I decided to take the boat from Liverpool to Dublin and make my way to County Galway to see my family. Partly, I wanted to go to Ireland. And partly, I just wanted to get away from my pen pal and couldn't afford a whole week on my own in England, so family to the rescue!

　　 After a great week in Galway with my relatives, I went back to London for a few more days and ended up staying with some relatives there I didn't even know I had.One of the funny things about that entire trip was that every single day when I was in London it rained. The only time it didn't rain was the week I spent in Ireland.

Let's show our love when we can, and when people need us. That is something I learnt from a(an) 36 in Bhopal.

　　 I saw a little boy daily. 37　 the Hanuman temple, always in a white T-shirt and black pants, with a small Hanuman pendant (挂饰) around his neck. He sat with a basket of fresh floral garlands (花环). Be it at six in the morning 38 nine at night, he would try his very best to 39 his wares.

　　 I was a 40 temple-goer and each time the boy would beg me 41　 to buy a garland. But somehow I never did. Even when I came out, he would 42 me to my car, begging me to buy one at least. Other boys sold flowers too, but none as persistently as he.

　　　 I went back to the 43　 recently after a gap of some months. The boy was there, seated exactly as before. ! tried to 44　 his look, assuming that he would follow me. But he did not 45 . I went into the temple and came back. But the boy made no 46　 to sell his garlands. I thought he was angry or just 47 his own self-respect. I suddenly missed the communication I always had with this 48　 boy and went to him. He looked at me but did not speak.

　　 This was 49 . I gathered courage and asked, "My boy, why are you not asking me to buy your garlands?" He said, "Why should I ask? You are rich but you can't 　50　 five rupees on my garlands. Anyway now I am not so desperate. My sister was 51　 cancer and I had to work for her medicines. My father had left us. My mother makes the garlands and I sell them. We used the 52　 for my sister's medicines. She passed away two months ago. You can now take one for 53 ."I bought them all. But I felt so 54 . I still regret that I did not respond then when he tried so 55.
