C Personality Plays a Big Role in Job Satisfaction For the employee, being placed in a position that is comfortable and meets expectations will make the job less stressful and allow a more positive outlook toward responsibilities. It beats the alternative, as going to a job that you are unhappy with could lead to tiredness, burn out, depression and stress. This affects more than just your 9-to-5 routine — it can hurt your family relationships, weaken friendships, and even make you turn to addictive and destructive behaviors like alcohol or drugs. The US Department of Labor suggests that jobseekers prepare for an employment search by understanding themselves and being honest about what they want and expect. Make a list of things you like to do, examine your history and evaluate the jobs and classes you enjoyed the most and why, look over your resume and see what duties your past jobs included, and be honest about what is appealing to you about the particular position you are considering. "I do believe that understanding yourself and your personality type preferences can make all the difference when it comes to finding a career that you love," says Roberts, a career management coach with CareerMasters in Maine. The Labor Department offers several simplified recommendations created for high school students: If you are good at math, then look toward occupations like statistician, engineer, surveyor or actuary(保险精算师). If you love to read or write, consider becoming a librarian, desktop publisher, writer or administrative assistant. Music and arts lovers should look into acting, visual arts, music or design work. Student who enjoyed social studies can become politicians, urban planners, historians or human resource assistants. Other considerations that might be significant: Do you enjoy helping people, working with your hands, fixing things, or interacting with nature? Is it your preference to work alone or in a group? Employees who are unhappy with their current positions, don't like their work environment, feel underappreciated, or believe there is no room for advancement, owe it to themselves to consider whether changing careers is a viable alternative. "Regardless of how my clients come to me, we always step back and look at where they are and how they got there," Roberts explains. "Looking back and analyzing their current situation and the career path they have followed is essential to making good career decisions in the future."1. According to the second paragraph, "the alternative" most probably refers to _____. A: encourage the employee by means of promotionB: giving the employee chances for further studiesC: placing the employee in an unhappy positionD: criticizing the employee without reason2. What do we know about Roberts?A: He has got a master's degree in career management.B: He works for the US Department of Labour.C: He helps jobseekers with practical guidance.D: He has earned a good name for his outstanding work.3. The Labour Department suggests that, when high school students are looking for a job, they should first _____.A: prepare an impressive resumeB: examine their past occupationsC: have some working experienceD: consider their own preference4. As it is mentioned in the passage, when one is unhappy with his current position, he had better _____.A: consult a career manage coachB: think over the possibility of changing careerC: switch to a more promising job immediatelyD: look back on the past career path5. The passage is mostly probably intended for _____.A: jobseekersB: employersC: recent graduatesD: tired employers

The "standard of living" of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity(能力) to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy. Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external(外部的) wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin(富余) for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.1. A country's wealth depends upon .A. its moneyB. its standard of livingC. its ability to provide goods and servicesD. its ability to provide transport and entertainment2. The main idea of the second paragraph is that .A. the Sahara Desert is a very poor regionB. a country's wealth depends on many factorsC. the USA is one of the wealthiest countries in the worldD. natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country3. What does the underlined word "her" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The Sahara Desert.B. An old country.C. China.D. The USA.4. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is Not True?A. Wealth can produce wealth.B. We should suffer from civil and external wars.C. We should have more skilled people to use the natural resources.D. We should have sound and stable politics and be free from foreign invasion..

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked.

If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.
