选项。
Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life,
and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you
might ask yourself is: "How do I get a good job?" 1 .
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the
best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get
a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to
get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the
right place at the right time. 2 . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching
the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and
being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering,
he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew
was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年)offered to take his place. 3 .
4 . If the lad had gone home to consider about his decision for a week, he may have missed his
chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs
(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things
about the company to which you are applying. 5 . And within a year this person had become
general manger of the company.
A. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
C. it"s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers
D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.
E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company"s faults.
F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself. |

I fell in love with the minister"s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas
I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister"s family over for
Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?
On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister"s
family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he__was__not__worthy__of__existence.
Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and
reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them.
My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made
a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her
fine cooking. "It"s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied," explained my father to our
astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to
bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the same as American girls on the
outside." She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You
must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame."
It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her
particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.

Online Movie Rentals
It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture
by living in the country where it is spoken. __1__ Fortunately, many aspects of a country"s culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language.

In white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes and two pigtails, Jingqiu gives off an air of great "
pure beauty" in Zhang Yimou"s new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree, which tells the story of
the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan set at the end of
the "cultural revolution" (1966-- 1976).
Before it was released, moviegoers foresaw what this "pure beauty" could be. Director
Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu
a character so innocent. She believes that simply lying on the same bed as a man will make
her pregnant.
It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang,
Zhou has "eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born to an ordinary worker"s
family, the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in
an art college.
"If you have fair skin and clear eyes, as Jingqiu does, it is easy to look pure. Girls today
wear so many jewels and make-up--that"s the reason Zhang was not interested," said Du Yanlai
, 17, of Chengdu.
While some teenagers consider such "pure" beauty illusory, others believe that it speaks of
something soulful.
Purity is all about an innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi
of Nanjing. "Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.
However, it doesn"t mean an ignorant or native person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if
he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity
doesn"t pass with time, "she said. |
| 1. What"s the real purity according to Tan Mengxi? |
A. Having eyes as clear as a fountain.
B. Not wearing so many jewels and make-up.
C. Being ignorant and native.
D. Being simple, enthusiastic and able to manage things alone. |
| 2. What does the underlined word "illusory" mean here? |
A. unreal.
B. unhealthy.
C. unscientific.
D. negative. |
| 3. What can we infer from the passage? |
A. Zhou Dongyu, who was 18,was from an art college.
B. Director Zhang disliked those girls with so many accessories and make-up.
C. Different people have different opinions about purity.
D. Many young girls in China are eager to stand out. |
| 4. The main idea of the passage is . |
A. Why Director Zhang selected Miss Zhou as the leading star
B. How people like the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree
C. What makes a pure girl
D. Why Chinese girls want to be pure |

A lamp is more than a light. Lamps allow the owner to add to the design of a room. They are
very functional and sometimes the only source of light in a room. There are many types of lamps,
and of course they come in many styles and colors to fit anyone"s home. Lamps can be soft and
inviting or bright and useful. Floor lamps are often tall, thinly shaped lamps that bring light to a large
area by cupping the bottom of the bulbs and forcing light up. Table lamps tend to force the light
down and out to lighten up a smaller, more private space. But, that doesn"t mean that you can"t
find a lamp that fits your needs as well as your tastes. In fact, you can even have lamps made to
order to match your desired look.
But, before you decide to make that decision, check out the lamps in department stores and
specialty stores. While most home improvement stores offer a wide variety of floor lamps, hanging
lamps, and table lamps, you can find an even larger selection in a lighting store. There you will be at
a loss about all the different choices you have. There will be choices in every style imaginable. If you
still can"t find what you are looking for, check contents and even the Internet. Specialty stores
nationwide will ship lamps and accessories (配件) to you.
Adding some extra light to your home may have been your early search when trying to find a
lamp, but you will soon see that there is more to look for in a lamp. The design will fit your home
and the color should match your home. The details on the lamp or lamp shade can even be found
to match your furniture, tables, or other items in your home. Finding a great lamp is a fun adventure
into the world of lighting. |
