      What should you think about when trying 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 an 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 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. A
knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will
have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
      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 metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve
these skills. If you have had a parttime job on Saturdays 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
parttime 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 better to face any
weakness 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 be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead
recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of working hard at school.
B. Choosing a career according to one"s strengths.
C. How to face one"s weakness.
D. The value of school work.

2. The writer thinks that a student"s parttime job is probably________.
A. a good way to find out his weak points

C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study

3. From the passage we learn that if a student"s school performance is not good, he ________.
A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities
B. will be regretful about his bad results
C. may also do well in his future work
D. should restart his study in school

4. The underlined phrase "be all thumbs" (in Para.3) probably means "________".
A. be clumsy at doing things
B. be skillful in doing things
C. be not interested in certain things
D. be easily bored in doing things

5. From the last paragraph we know one should ________.
A. make full use of one"s own weak points
B. study harder for a new school record
C. apologize for one"s own school record
D. face one"s own weak points bravely
     "A very disruptive(制造混乱的) sixyearold child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand," said one
teacher. "I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs," said another. Many people have heard
stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
     Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their
potential, regardless of their parents" wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long
way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in
danger of neglecting the latter.
     Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This
is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of
their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, 
 and unable to use the lavatory properly.
     We are in danger of becoming a nation of families_living_separate_lives_under_one_roof. The
bedroom, once a place to sleep,  has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front
of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and
young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children
are watching.
     Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both
parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They
are responsible for setting boundaries for their children"s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when
the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting
that most precious of resources-time-so that children come to school readily and are willing to learn.
1. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A. The school violence.
B. The pressure of students" learning.
C. The right to achieve students potential.
D. The responsibilities of the students.
2. The writer"s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.
A. dissatisfied  
B. unconcern
C. understanding  
D. tolerance
3. The underlined part in Para. 4 means________.
A. parents and children live in their separate rooms
B. parents care little about children"s life at home
C. children don"t live with their parents in the same room
D. at home children live a different life from that of parents
4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. schools can"t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society
5. What"t the main idea of the passage?
A. Children"s behavior at school is worrying people.
B. Parents expect schools to correct their children"s bad habits.
C. There is no point in parents" teaching children at home.
D. Don"t blame teachers when it"s parents who are failing.

     Even plants can run a fever, especially when they"re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike
human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago,
adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,
physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which
ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(***虫剂)spraying rather than
rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don"t have pest problems.
      Even better, Paley"s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they
became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured
the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where plants
were running "fevers". Farmers could then spotspray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they
otherwise would.
     The bad news is that Paley"s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted
the new technology and longterm backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about
pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation.
Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of
agricultural land in the United States, " says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who
recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be
adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain
10 years ago.

1. Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are________.
A. facing an infrared scanner
B. sprayed with pesticides
C. in poor physical condition
D. exposed to excessive sun rays

2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
A. estimate the damage to the crops
B. draw a colourcoded map
C. measure the size of the affected area
D. locate the problem area

3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
A. resorting to spotspraying
B. transforming poisoned rain
C. consulting infrared scanning experts
D. detecting crop problems at an early stage

4.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties-________.
A. its high cost
B. the lack of official support
C. the lack of financial support
D. its failure to help increase production

5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________.
A. full support from agricultural experts
B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce

     Nuclearpowered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the
20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them.
But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
     The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclearpowered aircraft carriers will be sent to
Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October
30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called
for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.
      It will be the first time that a nuclearpowered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in
World War ? at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by
a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclearpowered weapons are
based.
      "A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause
billions of dollars in damage, " said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group
has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
     The 44yearold Kitty Hawk, the US Navy"s oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since
1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_
will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy"s most modern
technology.
     Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the USJapan military alliance but also to
keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don"t
believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
     "There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense, " said Tetsuo Maeda, an
international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship
indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.

1. With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
A. are aware of its benefits to the country
B. are anxious about its potential danger
C. are curious about the advanced technology
D. are against where the carrier will be based

2. The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to________.
A. set up a kind of base in Japan
B. strengthen the USJapan military alliance
C. show Japan"s greater military capability
D. get rid of the dated marine weapon

3. From the story, we learn that________.
A. no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriers
B. Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weapons
C. Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
D. Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclearpowered aircraft carrier

4. The underlined word "unveiled" in the fifth paragraph probably means________.
A. perfected  
B. discussed about
C. produced  
D. brought to view

5. By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
A. he is quite confident of their military defense
B. he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
C. what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
D. it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries

     A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition
known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag feel
extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems in thinking clearly and remembering.
     Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study,
which involved twenty women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on
airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones.
In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women
spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen
days in their home areas.
     The researcher took some saliva from the women"s mouths to measure levels of a hormone  (荷尔
蒙 ) that increases during stress . He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots
appeared on a computer screen .And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain"s
temporal lobes. (脑叶).
     It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This
area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels
of stress hormones.
     The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline
workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other
studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that
controls memory.
     Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find ou
t if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.
1. According to the text, jet lag _____.
A. can cause difficulties in speaking
B. can make people feel tired for a few weeks
C. can be only found in flight attendants
D. can be caused by flying over several time zones
2. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. the conclusion is refused by many scientists
B. scientists fear that this research is not done properly
C. every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
D. the women who were examined in the research were not healthy
3. From the result of the research we can see that _____.
A. the women who have longer rest at home show better memory
B. the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobes
C. the women who have longer flights fail the memory test
D. the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones
4. What is the subject discussed in the test?
A. The cause of jet lag.
B. A story of a group of flight attendants.
C. The importance of having enough rest after flights.
D. A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain.
