What should you think about 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 or weak 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 metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer or winter holidays，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 part-time 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 weaknesses 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 about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. 1．Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph? A．The importance of doing well at school. B．Using school performance to help to choose a career. C．The importance of being good at all subjects.

A．a waste of time that could have been spent on study B．useful for his future work C．a good way to earn extra money D．a good way to find out his weak points 3．According to the passage，if a student’s school record is not good，he ________. A．will be a complete failure in his future work B．will not be able to find a suitable job C．will regret not having worked harder at school D．may do well in his future work 4．Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?

Want to reduce your risk of skin cancer? Wear sun screen, of course. But two new studies suggest that choosing your relatives carefully could also be helpful. One found that having an identical (同卵的) twin with melanoma (黑色素瘤) increased a person's own risk of developing the disease much more than having a fraternal (异卵的) twin with this type of skin cancer. The other found that having a brother or sister, or a parent with one of several different types of non-melanoma skin cancer increased risk as well. Several studies have suggested melanoma and other skin cancers run in families, but it can be difficult to tell the difference between the influence of genes and environment. In the Australian study, Dr. Sri N. Shekar of the University of Queensland and his colleagues attempted to do so by looking at twin pairs in which at least one brother or sister had been diagnosed with melanoma. They searched through thousands of cases of melanoma reported in Queensland and New South Wales and found 125 twin pairs. In four of the 27 identical twin pairs, both had melanoma, while three of the 98 fraternal twin pairs had both been diagnosed with the deadly skin cancer. Based on these numbers, having an identical twin with melanoma increased a person's own risk of the disease nearly 10-fold. This suggests, the researchers say, that some of the increased melanoma risk can be attributed to genes, in particular interactions between genes. They estimate that genes account for about half of the differences in risk between two people. In the second study, Dr. Shehnaz K. Hussain of the University of California and colleagues looked at the Swedish Family-Cancer Database to estimate the risk for several types of skin cancer among brothers or sisters and children of people diagnosed with these diseases. They found that people with a brother or sister, or a parent diagnosed with some types of skin cancer were more likely to develop skin cancers of various types, not just the ones their relatives had. When tumors occurred at parts of the body more likely to have been exposed to the sun, the family risk was stronger.1. Based on the statistics in Para. 4, it can be inferred that ________.A) skin cancer can be infectious among family membersB) most people who have twin brothers or sisters will have a certain type of skin cancerC) people having twin brothers are more likely to have skin cancer than those who have twin sistersD) people having identical twin brothers or sisters are more likely to have skin cancer than those who have none 2. According to the passage, deadly skin cancer is caused by ________.A) gene B) environmentC) exposure to the sunD) identical twins with melanoma3. In the second study, Dr. Hussain found ________.A) that different types of skin cancer are mainly due to the environmentB) that family members could develop more than one type of skin cancer C) that exposure to the sun is beneficial to skin cancer preventionD) that family members tend to develop the same type of skin cancer4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) the research by Dr. Hussain goes against Dr. Shekar's findingsB) parents who have identical twins are most likely to be victims of skin cancerC) Australia has the richest database of twins family in the worldD) interaction between genes may partially account for developing skin cancer 5. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Melanoma is a type of deadly skin cancer.B) Researchers found that skin cancer can be inherited. C) Both environment and genes cause the risk of skin cancer.D) Australian scientists made a breakthrough in the treatment of skin cancer.

China is projected to become the world's largest economy in 2025, about the time current kindergartners would be graduating from college. The recent financial crisis demonstrates the degree to which America is dependent on China. Increasing the number of Americans who demonstrate a functional proficiency in Chinese is nothing short of urgent. This means not just learning to chat and sing songs in Mandarin (普通话), but truly learning to communicate effectively on professional and academic topics. Although Mandarin is the most widely spoken language in the world, there are very few Americans who achieve any real competence (能力) in it. Indeed, more than 200 million children in China are learning English, a required subject in primary school. Yet only 24,000 out of 54 million elementary and secondary school children in the US are learning Chinese. What this says is that while children in China are learning how to communicate with us, few of our children are learning how to communicate with them. The United States government sees a great need for Americans to learn Mandarin Chinese. Due to the growing financial and political importance of China, the US government included Mandarin on a short-list of "critical-need" foreign languages that it's encouraging more Americans to learn. In fact, the National Security Language Initiative provided 24 million for Department of Education. The goal is not to create more people who know "conversational" Mandarin. The goal is to start language learning at a younger age and greatly increase the number of Americans who master these languages. It doesn't matter what our children grow up to be, it is likely that they will be interacting with China increasingly during their lives. It is our responsibility to prepare our children to succeed in the world they will live in. That world is small, and getting smaller. It is urgent that we start today to give our children the skills they will need when they are grown and on their own. Let's not just give our children the world. Let's give them the opportunity to thrive in it!1. What does "nothing short of urgent" (Para 1) mean according to the passage?A) Extremely important. B) Not urgent.C) Unimportant.D) Proficient.2.

What is the purpose of the National Security Language Initiative by investing a large amount of money in education?A) To produce more people who can communicate on daily topics in Chinese.B) To create more people who master some desperately needed languages.
