Are you afraid of change? Whether it is you personally or the working/living environment around you that changes, change will happen, it’s one guarantee I can give you and if you want success you need to make changes too.
Throughout the history of mankind changes have happened and they will continue to do so until the end of time. I do not think I need give you a list of any of these events they are obvious to us all.
Where are you going with this Steve, I hear you saying to yourself, everyone knows that changes happen all the time and we as human beings adapt accordingly. Well, yes, I agree with you to a point, but in that case why are we all not living the life we want in the world we want?
Because some of us resist change, because we are afraid of the unknown factors that change may bring into our lives.
Stop resisting and the changes will happen automatically, that is what happened to me when I started using hypnosis（睡眠状态） and mediation （沉思）to help me come to terms with the changes I needed to make to get out of Going Nowhere Land. I honestly believe that if I had not lost my fear of change when I did that there is absolutely no way that I would be enjoying life and the success I am having as much as I do at this moment in time.
My intention is to carry on enjoying life to the full and to successfully help others to do the same and if that means making even more changes to my life, as it surely will, then bring them on and let’s get started.
It does not matter if you start off making small changes like getting up early so that you can share breakfast with your loved ones, take some exercise or meditating before going to work, start making those changes now. By getting into the habit of making changes, you will accept change into your life, you will begin to change more of your old habits into new and better ones and even enjoy the feeling that making those changes brings and the success that comes with them.
64. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Are you afraid of change?        B. Changing for success.
C. Why do you resist change.         D. Change brings happiness.
65. The underlined phrase “come to terms with” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_______ “
A. reach an agreement with            B. fight against
C. accept something unpleasant         D. overcome the bad consequences of
66. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that ___________.
A. the author has never been afraid of changes in his life.
B. the author used to believe that changes happened automatically
C. the author is still not satisfied with his present situation
D. the author had experienced a period of frustration(挫折) in his life

Directions：

　　You are going to read a text about the tips on resume writing, followed by a list of examples．Choose the best example from the list A-F for each numbered subheading(41-45)．There is one extra example which you do not need to use．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1．(10 points)

　　The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview．There are two kinds．One is the familiar“tombstone”that lists where you went to school and where you’ve worked in chronological order．The other is what I call the“functional”resume-descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview．

　　It’s handy to have a“tombstone”for certain occasions．But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequested“tombstone”lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead．

　　What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read-a-resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers．

1．Put yourself first：

In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself．

2．Sell what you can do, not who you are：

Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas．There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work．

Toot your own horn!

Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities．Some think they have none at all!But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch-if only you show it．

3．Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!

Remember that“brevity is the best policy．”

4．Turn bad news into good：

Everybody has had disappointments in work．If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side．

5．Never apologize：

　　If you’ve returned to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph(summary of background)in place of a chronology of experience．Don’t apologize for working at being a mother; it’s the hardest job of all．If you have no special training or higher education, just don’t mention education．

　　The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about yourself．Take four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life, on or off the job, that made you feel effective．Don’t worry at first about what it all means．Study the list and try to spot patterns．As you study your list, you will come closer to the meaning：identifying your marketable skills．Once you discover patterns, give names to your cluster of accomplishments(leadership skills, budget management skills, child development skills etc．)Try to list at least three accomplishments under the same skills heading．Now start writing your resume as if you mattered．It may take four drafts or more, and several weeks, before you’re ready to show it to a stranger(friends are usually too kind)for a reaction．When you’ve satisfied, send it to a printer; a printed resume is far superior to photocopies．It shows an employer that you regard job hunting as serious work, worth doing right．

　　Isn’t that the kind of person you’d want working for you?

A

A woman who lost her job as a teacher’s aide due to a cutback in government funding wrote：“Principal of elementary school cited me as the only teacher’s aide she would rehire if government funds became available．”

B

One resume I received included the following：“invited by my superior to straighten out our organization’s accounts receivable．Set up orderly repayment schedule, reconciled accounts weekly, and improved cash flow 100 per cent．Rewarded with raise and promotion．”Notice how this woman focuses on results, specifies how she accomplished them, and mentions her reward-all in 34 words．

C

For example, if you have a flair for saving, managing and investing money, you have money management skills．

D

An acquaintance complained of being biased when losing an opportunity due to the statement“Ready to learn though not so well educated”．

E

One of my former colleagues, for example, wrote resumes in three different styles in order to find out which was more preferred．The result is, of course, the one that highlight skills and education background．

F

A woman once told me about a cash-flow crisis her employer had faced．She’d agreed to work without pay for three months until business improved．Her reward was her back pay plus a 20 percent bonus．I asked why that marvelous story wasn’t in her resume．She answered,“It wasn’t important．”What she was really saying of course was“I’m not important．”

Do you feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just the night before?

If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.

But, don't fear. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.

Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body gives out the hormone adrenaline which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel hot or even sick.

If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.

When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to "STOP!" This will get your mind off the stress.

Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help gain your confidence.

Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: "I've studied hard and I know the material, so I'm ready to do the best I can." Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.

Last but not least, start test preparation early — three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills — for example, time management and note-taking — will give you the feeling that you are in control.

72. According to the text, people who ______ are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety.

A. worry a lot or are perfectionists B. prepare poorly for a test

C. have failed in tests before D. all of above

73. Which of the following is NOT the way to beat nerves according to the author?

A. Stop what you are doing and try to relax. B. Talk to your teacher or friends.

C. make a full test preparation early. D. Learn to accept mistakes.

74. From the text, we know it is not true that ______.

A. test anxiety makes you fail in working out the problems that are really difficult

B. a little of test anxiety might be helpful to some students

C. some students can't sleep well before the test

D. some students failed in the test because of the anxiety

75. What would be the best title for the text?

A. What is test anxiety B. Why we have test anxiety

C. How to beat nerves D. Develop a positive attitude
