On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they"d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. “Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls(回忆).“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.” Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point, I considered turning back,” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!” Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him. “Let"s aim for the pier(码头),” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim?” he cried.“A little bit,” the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys" faces. “Are we almost there?” they asked again and again.“Yes,” Tim told them each time. After 30 minutes, they reached the pier. 小题1:Why did the two boys go to the sea?A.To go boat rowing. | B.To get back their football. | C.To swim in the open water. | D.To test the umbrella as a sail. | 小题2:What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The beach. | B.The water. | C.The boat. | D.The wind. | 小题3:Why did Tim raise his head regularly?A.To take in enough fresh air. | B.To consider turning back or not. | C.To check his distance from the boys. | D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella. | 小题4:How did the two boys finally reach the pier?A.They were dragged to the pier by Tim. | B.They swam to the pier all by themselves. | C.They were washed to the pier by the waves. | D.They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back. |

We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your coworkers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work. It"s important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy. “Communication in the office is tricky and complicated. You can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said Yang Yudan, deputy HR director at P&G. According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield. Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in Guangzhou last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn"t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang. “Then our HR told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office.” HR expert Yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are. To summarize, Yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow down your career progressing.” 小题1:The author quoted Yang Yudan in the text to ________.A.show his admiration for her | B.make an argument with her | C.support his own viewpoint | D.build up his fame | 小题2:What can be inferred from the fact that Liang Kun had to resign his job according to the text?A.It was unwise for him to share information with others. | B.He broke the rules made by the company. | C.He was such an honest person that he told the truth. | D.He treated his colleagues as family members. | 小题3:What is the author"s purpose in writing the text?A.To draw people"s attention to their behaviors in public. | B.To advise office workers to be aware of the image they project. | C.To make you believe that communication in the office is complicated. | D.To warn you to be careful of invisible trouble while talking about your privacy to colleagues. | 小题4:Which would be the best title for the text?A.At Work, Keep It to Yourself | B.Keep the Right Balance | C.Share Your Personal Life with Others | D.Safe Topics to Talk about |

One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he ____ in class. When I took the first exam, I was ____ to find a 77, Cplus, on my test paper, ____ English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained ____. I decided to try harder, although I didn"t know what that ____ because study had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I ____ with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn"t change his ____. One more test before the final exam. One more ___ to improve my grades. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, ____ the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my ____ did no good and everything ____ as before. The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what ____ I got, it wouldn"t cancel Cpluses. I might as well kiss the ___ goodbye. I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ___ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once not to ____ much about the result of the test. A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne"s office. He ____ to be expecting me. “If I had given you the Apluses you ____, you wouldn"t have continued to work as hard.” I stared at him, ____ that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head ____, as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade arrived:Aplus. It was the only Aplus given. The next year I received my scholarship.
