阅读理解。     Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way
of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that
afford them little or no satisfaction.
     Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can
earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their
expectation.
     Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The
reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they lookfor a job is
to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for the job or, even more
important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing yourself and your
dependants (受赡养者) with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.
     In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.1. Few school leavers have plans for the long term when finding jobs because _____.A. they are lowly paid
B. they are not well trained
C. it is difficult to get employed
D. they don"t know what they are interested in 2. According to the passage, the difficulty in choosing a suitable job mainly lies in that _____.A. much competition has to be faced
B. many employees have no working experience
C. the young people only care about how much they can earn
D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance3. In the writer"s opinion, which of the following statements is most important?A. Your job must suit your interest.
B. Your job must set a pattern of life.
C. Your job must offer you a high salary.
D. Your job must not ruin your talents.

saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record.Downhearted, ill, and depressed,
Clive, then a young clerk, placed a revolver(左轮枪手) to his head and snapped the trigger time after
time.It refused to fire and he realised that suicide was not to be his lot.A subordinate (下属) took the

visit to the seashore at Elberton, New Jersey, Secretary Lincoln accepted an invitation to go along.As
Secretary Lincoln reached the railway station, he encountered the stretcher bearers carrying out the

     Twenty years later, as Robert Todd Lincoln entered the Temple of Music in Buffalo to greet
President McKinley, the President was carried past him by stretcher bearers.Garfield, Lincoln, and

阅读理解     Finally, there is the evolution of Yao"s mind. He has become a wise man who has devoted time and
money into life after the NBA.
     Yao said he did not only see his investment in the current CBA system in purely financial terms, but
also as a way to support the development of basketball in China and return the favour to Shanghai for
looking after him in his early days.
     A few days before our most recent interview, Yao was asked to attend an award ceremony for top
athletes in China. He realised his superstar friends and fellow athletes were often forced to take lowpaying jobs because they had little formal education.
     As boss of the Shanghai Sharks, Yao has invited both teachers and mentors to help his players better
manage their financial futures.
     Another of Yao"s problems has been balancing the knowledge he has gained in the NBA with the
traditions of home.
     As head of the Sharks he has to consider what"s best for his team, even if it means hurting some of his
closest friends. Like his first coach, Li Qiuping, who was in hospital when Yao told him he was going to
have to replace him with an American coach.
     Navigating traditional Chinese society, he said, can be tricky at times. He sometimes wistfully thinks
back to his early days, when he just played basketball. Even so, he never shies away from the challenge.
     When I think about these aspects of Yao"s life, I admire him as an example of someone who is
downtoearth and has not let fame go to his head.
      As Yao will enter a new phase in his life, his 30s, fatherhood, returning to the NBA, and the next step
in his career as manager, he shows the courage to make a difference in the world.
     Yang Lan One On One is shown on Shanghai Dragon TV, Sat.23:10 PM.

1. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Yao invests in CBA just because he wants to make money.
B. Yao pays his fellow athletes little money.
C. Yao has become a father of a boy.
D. Sometimes Yao has to hurt some friends for the profit of the whole team.

2. What is the meaning of the underlined word "tricky"?
A. helpful
B. difficult
C. easy
D. special

3. Yang Lan believes that Yao is a person who________.
A. is depressed
B. runs after fame
C. is dependable
D. loves the earth

4. This article may be extracted from________.
A. a TV program
B. a novel
C. a memoir
D. an essay

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。     In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website.   __1__ Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially,

阅读理解。     Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses
instead. But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain
just that-dreams.
     The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Centre poll of 1,276 graduates in several
universities and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 59.78 percent of respondents
considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at
the "thinking stage"," it stated.
     Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a
lack of business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the
need for advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
     More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating
and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
     Guo Bin, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided
he wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job,
I would like to establish a company in exhibition services," Guo said.
     The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes
to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language
skills can help him do well in the industry.
     "Social networking is an important factor leading to business success," Guo said.
     Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to
set up a business right after their graduation.
     Jiang said the university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and prof
essionals. They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own
business. The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone.
The survey showed "Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo
added.1．Which of the following can be the best title?A．A tough job market
