Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb. But people in the Australian outback can"t get to
a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on
a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the "flying doctor". He visits sick people by plane.
When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person"s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground
near the person"s house. Sometimes has to take the patients to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people
to hospital each year.
However, most of time the person isn"t very sick, and the doctor doesn"t have to visit. He can give advice
on the radio from the office at the flying center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special
medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet
in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, "Take two tables from bottle 5 every
four hours." |

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived
on a farm. In the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I
packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing.
Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside.
Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams.
One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or
entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important
job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops
are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens (十几岁) or twenties. However, as
you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I
certainly hope to move back there soon. |

Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than
people in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the
United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work
less. In other words they have decided to"spend" a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over
the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in
the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America,
which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours does of course increase the GDP. So the United States has produced more per worker than,
say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and
older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher
than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other
values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the different trends (趋势)
in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness
has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in
the work-life balance? |

A. says nothing certain about which pattern is better

| 2. In the last paragraph, the underlined word "which" refers to ____. |
A. family life
B. situations
C. other values

| 3. What message can we get from the text? |
A. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
B. Americans are happier than Europeans.
C. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
D. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US. |
| 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? |
A. Staying at Home
B. Work and Happiness

The best way to have a successful job interview is to prepare for it. Too many people walk into an interview
without knowing as much as they should about the industry, the company and its problems, so follow these
steps:
Know the company. Find out as much as you can about the position the company and its needs, so that you
can show how your background meets those needs. Telephone the receptionist and ask for the company"s
booklets. Learn about the company at your local library and on the Internet.
Know yourself. Mentally review the skills and character you have that will help the company"s bottom line.
Think of the value you can add to the position and the company.
Know your job history. Mentally review your past achievements and be prepared to describe your work
experience in detail. Gather letters of reference and examples of your work to present to the interviewer as proof
of your past achievements. Practise describing your experience and achievements at each job.
Know the questions. You can almost certainly be asked, "Tell me about yourself." Answer this question
from the employer"s point of view. Ask yourself, "If I were hiring someone for this position, what would I want
to know?" Then answer these questions. And be ready for hard ones, too. Think of the worst question you could
be asked about your experience and abilities, and prepare positive (积极的) answers.
Prepare questions of your own. Employers are as interested in your questions as they are ____. And they"ll
react favorably if you ask intelligent questions. |
