阅读理解。     Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do - especially in tight job market. Bob
Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every
day. "It"s amazing how many candidates cross out themselves," he says.
     "Resumes (简历)arrive with faults. Some candidates don"t bother to spell the company"s name
correctly. Once I see a mistake, I cross out the candidates," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take
care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"
     Can we pay too much attention to details? Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of
something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,
the professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the
details we"re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don"t, we should drop them and move to
something else."
     Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon
launch was slightly off course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still
likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as
necessary." Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
     Too often we believe what accounts for others" success is some special secret or a lucky break.
But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp
well, large rewards follow.1. According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected because       .A. they failed to present resumes that are free of mistakes

C. they crossed out their names from the applicants list themselves
D. their handwriting on the resume was hard to recognize 2. The underlined word "cross out" in the first paragraph probably means ______.A. neglect  
B. recommend  
C. wipe  
D. introduce3. The third paragraph is intended to state that       .A. trees are as important as forests
B. we should pay much attention to details
C. we shouldn"t go too far in details to lose our goals
D. perfectionists are capable of achieving perfect results4.The example of Apollo II moon launch is given to show that       .A. minor mistakes can be ignored
B. failure is the mother of success

guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.   1   .

    So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
    Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.

non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.    3   .
    Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形) don"t just happen.    4   . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on -can help you build a positive body image.

all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

阅读理解。     Today, almost everyone has heard of Harry Potter. The books detailing his experiences at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have aroused passion, creativity, and interest in reading throughout the world.
    But have you ever considered why you are a fan of the Harry Potter series?
    JK Rowling has created a list of characters and an environment for them to inhabit that appeals to both
adults and children.
The fantasy aspect of the wizarding world expands the imagination, and takes the mind to new and exciting places. Anything could happen there. Her stories contain parts of the believable and unbelievable, changing the predictability that readers commonly come across and bear in fiction.
The main theme of the series, including good versus evil, prejudice, love, death, sacrifice, friendship and
loyalty, in actuality contributes to the ever-lasting nature of the stories. At the same time, these themes
remind us of classic literature, offering mature readers tales that wear like a comfortable pair of shoes,
while introducing younger readers to concepts they will meet throughout their lives.
    Much of the appeal also comes from the characters. In each book, JK Rowling introduces and
describes the characters in such a way that we wonder not only about their futures, but also about their
pasts. Even supporting characters are suddenly more than just extras in the background. And what of
Harry Potter himself? We care about Harry, because we watch him grow from an innocent boy to a
powerful wizard. We see him as both Hero and Victim. He experiences endless love and extreme pain,
and as readers, we experience them with him.
   This perfect combination of emotion, suspense and fantasy, together with the fact that JK Rowling is a
superb storyteller is the reason why we are Harry potter fans. People are fond of Harry Potter series.
With books like these, it"s hard not to be.1. Harry Potter series become popular partly because________.A. they remind us of the childhood and environment we had in the past

     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。                                                                 Money Matters
     Parents should help their children understand money.  1  So you may start talking about money when
your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1.The basic function of money
     Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or
services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he
wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).  2   When
your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more
complex ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
     Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.   3   If you must say no to a child"s request to
spend money, explain, "You have enough toy trucks for now." Or, if the request is for many different
things, say, "You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy."
3.   4  
     Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product-a name-brand butter and a
generic(无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different
brands of a product so that you can save money.  5  If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make
another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves
less money for other purchases.

B. The value of money.
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
