  Read these two advertisements, and then answer the questions.

  When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of three things.

  You can use no sun tan oil. You can use an ordinary sun tan oil. Or you can use Bergasol.

  If you don't use any sun tan oil at all when you're in sun that is stronger than you're used to, you will burn surprisingly quickly.

  If you use an ordinary sun tan oil you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree. How much depends on the“protection factor(系数)number”on the bottle.

  Some of these oils block out so many of the sun's rays you can stay in the sun all day without burning--but you won't go very brown, either.

  Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. But Bergasol oil also has a tan accelerator(加速剂) which comes from the oil of the Bergamot fruit.

  It speeds up the rate at which the sun activates(激活) the skin cells that produce melanin.

  And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown colour.

  So when you use Bergasol sun tan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become more and more obvious.

  Unfortunately this special formulation isn't cheap to prepare. So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil.

  However the price looks more attractive as you do.

  Protection

  Many people imagine that“cover-up”means you don't get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday. What a shame.

  Not so. With“cover up”, you can get brown if you want to. The point of cover-up is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun--the ones which, according to the experts, make your skin look older.

  That's what Solex Cover-up is all about--protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor of 8, which makes it suitable for anyone.

What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.

  Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery(烹调术) and look for a job where you can improve these skills.

  If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.

  Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

The first paragraph of the passage is mainly about ________.

 A. the indirect value of school work               

B. the importance of being good at all subjects

 C. knowing one’s strong or weak subjects at school

 D. using school performance to help to choose a career

In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part - time job is probably ________.

 A. a good way to find out his weak points          

B. one of the best ways of earning extra money

 C. of great use for his work in the future         

D. a waste of time he could have spent on study

If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he________ .

 A. may do well in his future work            

B. won’t be able to find a suitable job

 C. may be a complete failure in the future   

D. will regret not having worked harder at school

The whole passage centers around ________.

 A. knowing oneself in looking for a job            

B. developing one’s abilities useful in school

 C. gaining much knowledge by working hard at school

 D. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in

  If you’re like most students, you probably read both at home and outside your home; Perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks.Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding, so give some thought to how you can create or choose the right reading environments.The right environment allows you to stay alert and to keep all of your attention on the text, especially when it is both interesting and difficult.

  When you’re at home, you can usually create effective conditions for reading.You might want to choose a particular place-a desk or table, for example-where you always read.Make sure the place you choose is well lighted, and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight.Reading in a chair that’s too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy! Keep your active reading tools(pens, markers, notebooks or paper)and a dictionary close at hand.

  Before you sit down for a reading period, try to reduce all possible interruptions.Turn off your phone, the televisions, and the radio.Tell your family members or roommates that you’ll be busy for a while.If necessary, put a “Do not disturb” sign on your door!

  If you have read the fairytale about the Italian boy Pinocchio, you will remember that every one knew when he lied because his nose grew.But did you know that your brain can also betray(出卖)you when you tell a lie?

  A study released last Monday showed that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those who are telling the truth.According to the US researchers, this finding could lead to creating a more accurate lie detector(测谎仪).

  “There may be separate areas in the brain involved in truth-telling and cheating that can be measured,” said Scott Faro, head of the research group.

  Faro and other scientists tested nine volunteers.Six of them were asked to shoot a toy gun and then lie and say they didn't do it.Three others who watched told the truth about what happened.

  The volunteers were connected to a special machine, which used a strong magnet(磁铁)to provide a real-time picture of brain activity.Clear differences were seen between the liars and the truth-tellers.A total of seven areas were active in the cheating group, but only four in the truth-telling team.

  “It seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth,” Faro said.

  The traditional lie-detector machine looks at sweat, skin, breathing and heart rate changes.

  Using such new technology as a lie detector would be expensive, but it might be worthwhile in some criminal cases.

D.

introduce you to a discovery that another part of your body can give a liar away

(2)

What did Faro and other scientists find?

[  ]

A.

Cheating and truth-telling involve totally different brain areas.

B.

More volunteers are needed to make sure that their technology is reliable.

C.

The differences in brain activities can show whether a person has told a lie.

D.

Telling the truth is much easier than telling a lie.

(3)

Which is the biggest disadvantage of the prospective(预期的)lie-detector?

[  ]

A.

It could only be used in criminal cases.

B.

Its cost would be very high.

C.

Compared to the traditional lie-detector, it still needs perfecting.

D.

Differences can be shown only in brain activities.

(4)
