It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. ______

  “Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. _____. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.

  First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. ______.

  Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ― skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ― which are your best skills?

  After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. _____.

  Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! ______.

According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem.

    The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups. What they have in common is poverty.

    Currently in the U.S., thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can’t pay the rent with food stamps.

    With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative.

    Although men make up the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U.S. are teenagers and young children.

    People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school.

    The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs.

    Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”. Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.

    Job loss in today’s economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people’s homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce is also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.

The writer thinks that the U.S. government’s definition for the homeless shows _________.

A. an insincere attitude toward the homeless

B. an unbearable attitude toward the homeless

C. an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless

D. an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless

The U.S. government helps the homeless by _________.

A. giving them homeless allowance           B. giving them food stamps

C. finding jobs for them                        D. finding residence (a place to live) for them

People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT _________.

A. the lack of adequate education

B. the abuse of alcohol and drugs

C. the closure of institutions for the mentally ill

D. the poor performance of economy

The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may _________.

A. lose his or her job in today’s economy

B. be unable to look after the kids

C. not have enough income

D. find residence at a homeless shelter

 After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his

 generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son,

I want to thank you for teaching me a very 36 lesson in life by the great

example you 37 When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who

had __38__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any

39 ,  you went over and put the     40     $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and

Said 42_ like, "Some kid will really enjoy 43 this. "

Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have

45 money to pay for his petrol.  I asked the money collector, "How much 46

is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his ear 47   he had been

looking at the wrong gauge (计量器) and had put in 15 48 ,  which came to just

 over  49'_. That is an easy mistake  50  both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in

Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, "But why would you do

this for me?" I just smiled as I thought of you.

Thank you, son, for teaching me that "it's 53 to give than receive". Now

when I sec a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you

and leave it _55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

Love always.   Mum.

PEOPLE who have had a painful experience may wish they could wipe the memory from their minds. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, US, say that this may someday be possible.
A drug remains far off, but researchers have laid a foundation with their discovery that proteins can be removed from the brain’s fear center to cut memories forever.
Previous research had already shown that a special behavior therapy (治疗) could cut painful memories. But relapse (复发) was possible because the memory hadn’t necessarily disappeared.
By looking at that process, Richard Huganir and Roger Clem, two researchers from Johns Hopkins University, discovered a “window of vulnerability (脆弱的窗口)” when proteins are created. The proteins help signals travel within the brain as painful memories are made. Because the proteins are unstable, they can be easily removed with drugs or behavior therapy to cut memories.
Researchers used mice to find the window, but think the process would be the same in humans. They used electric shocks to make the mice fear a certain sound. The sound triggered (触发) the creation of the proteins, called calcium-permeable (钙通透性) AMPARS, which formed for a day or two in the fear centers of the mice’s brains.
The researchers are working on ways to reopen the window by recalling (唤醒) the painful memory and using drugs to remove the protein. They published their report online last month in Science Express.
Their research has drawn interest and concern from experts in mental healthcare.
Kate Farinholt, a mental health expert with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Maryland, US, said many people suffering from a painful event might benefit from erasing a memory. “Erasing a memory and then everything bad built on that is an amazing idea, and I can see all sorts of potential ,” she said.
But there are a lot of unanswered questions, too.
“Completely deleting a memory is a little scary. How do you remove a memory without removing a part of someone’s life,” Farinholt said. “And is it best to do that, considering that people grow and learn from their experiences?”
【小题1】What have researchers at Johns Hopkins University found recently?  

A.A new drug to erase painful memories from human brains.
B.A special behavior therapy to erase painful memories.
C.Removing certain proteins from the brain can wipe painful memories.
D.Erasing memory damages a patient’s brain functions.
【小题2】What makes it possible to erase painful memories according to Paragraph 4? 
A.The way the brain cells are created.
B.The unstable character of the proteins in the brain.
C.The strength of the signals the proteins send.
D.The drugs that can stop the formation of memories.
【小题3】Which of the following shows the stages of the process done on mice? 
a. removal of fear proteins            b. making mice fear a certain sound
c. fear proteins created in mice brains   d. making mice recall painful memories
A.a-b-c-dB.d-a-c-bC.b-c-d-aD.c-b-d-a
【小题4】What is Kate Farinholt’s opinion of the research? 
A.People may lose the chance to learn from their bad experiences.
B.The research will be a great breakthrough in treating painful memories.
C.People could suffer long-term memory loss.
D.People could forget happy memories as well.
