2.1 What should you think about in 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. 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(烹饪术) 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, 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. 59. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph? A.

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 still do well in his future work 62.

Then I sat on the edge of my bed and cried,and wondered how I was going to get through the rest of the semester (学期).It was the first time I hadn’t been cast in a show since the summer course I had recently takenin London. It had been my first trip abroad and, for a small-town girl, it was eye-opening. All Iwanted to do after getting home was get back on stage and act and act and act some more.I waited until my emotions (情绪) were under control, then I picked up the phone again andcalled Doug. Doug was the technical director of the theater. He was surprised to hear from me.“Doug, I’d like to be a part of the show,” I said. “I can’t really do anything constructive, so Ithought maybe I could stage manage?”He waited a long time before he finally agreed to let me be the assistant stage manager.I was a terrible assistant stage manager.Thankfully, Doug and I got along well and he hired me as his student secretary the followingsemester. I worked in his office for two years until I became a senior. That year he suggested Itake a marketing internship (市场实习生) with a local theater company. In that role, I wasable to add to the people management and organizational skills I learned from Doug with thereal-world public relations basics of press release writing, donor management and eventcoordination (协调). These skills landed me my first job out of college and prepared me forevery work experience I’ve had since.Before that first call, I thought I knew where my future would be: on the stage, all the time,getting by however I could. Naturally, to my disappointment at the time, the future changed.With that second phone call, I learned my first, most basic lesson about change: When whatyou’re doing doesn’t work, find something better to do.(1) According to the first paragraph, which of the following caused the author to be upset?A.

She learned that she couldn’t change the fact that she belonged on stage.D. She learned that if what you do doesn’t work, you should keep trying.19. DAD was always full of advice, but one of the biggest lessons he taught me one summer wasabout having a strong work ethic (道德). When my brother and I were growing up, we mowed (修剪) yards during the summer to earn pocket money. Dad was our salesman. He told our neighborsabout our service and offered a price they could not refuse. My brother and I got10 (64 yuan)per yard. I later found out that our friends were making20 or morefor the same amount of work.Every time we headed out to mow lawns, Dad was there to watch. I used to wonder why hecame with us. He stood supervising (监督) our work in the heat when he could have beeninside relaxing with air conditioning and an icy drink.One day we were cutting our next-door neighbor’s yard. He always waited until the grass wasknee-high to call us over. To make matters worse, we had an old lawn mower. This particularafternoon, I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty.I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece of grass. Heyelled: “You missed a piece.”I frowned, hoping he would let it slide and let me go home. He kept pointing. So, tired anddisappointed, I went back to cut that piece of grass. I said to myself: “That one piece isn’thurting anyone. Why won’t he just let it go?”But when I reached adulthood, I understood his message: When you’re running a business, thework you do says a great deal about you. If you want to be seen as an entrepreneur ( 企业家)with integrity (诚实), you must deliver a quality product. That single blade of grass meant thejob was not done.Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business. Westarted out with one client (客户), but by the end of the summer we had five.(1) What lesson did the author learn from his dad?A. Being an honest person. B. Being strict with oneself.C. How to earn pocket money. D. How to provide a quality product.(2) When the author worked on the neighbor’s yard, ______.A. he was too tired to finish the task B. he complained loudly about the tall grassC. his father insisted on him finishing his job completelyD. his father only appeared at the end to check his work(3) When the author became an adult, he recognized that ______.A. he should go to his father more often for adviceB. his father didn’t believe he could do his bestC. the product you deliver shows the face of your businessD. low prices and quality service are key to successful businesses(4) From the text, we can infer that ______.A. the author always followed his father’s adviceB. the author decided to be a salesman just like his fatherC. the author is thankful for the lesson his father taught himD. the author believes that working for your neighbors is a good start for a business20. Learn about luckI WAS eating breakfast when – “YOUCH!” I screamed. “Why’d you pinch (掐) me?”“You’re not wearing green,” said my little brother, Tex. “Everyone knows you get pinched ifyou don’t wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day (圣帕特里克节)!”I was mad, but also a little glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick’s Day.I panicked. “What am I going to do? I don’t have time to change. I’ll get pinched all daylong!”“Well,” Tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, “You could borrow my luckyhat. Just promise to give it back after school.”I was racing to catch the school bus when I saw a dollar on the sidewalk. I looked around tosee if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on it, so I rescued it. Then thebus was even later than me – which never happens!My luck didn’t stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing ( 提问) eachother on spelling words. I turned around and said: “You guys know that test isn’t tilltomorrow, right?”“It got changed to this morning,” said Jackson. “Remember?”“That’s right. I totally forgot!” I said. “I’m so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn’t, Iwouldn’t have found out till it was too late!” I studied my spelling words all the way toschool. And ended up passing the test!The minute I got home, I gave Tex a big hug.“This is the luckiest hat in the world,” I said. “I’m never taking it off!”“But you promised to give it back!” said Tex.“Please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!” I begged. “Tomorrow I’mauditioning (试演) for the school play, and I need all the help I can get.”“One more day,” said Tex.The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn’t have gone better. But I hadleft that hat in my locker (柜子) that day.“So it wasn’t the hat,” said my friend. “Maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing overthe past month.”“Hmm,” I said. “It’s possible.”So you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself … andmaybe just a tiny bit of magic! In other words, luck may come your way, but you have to beready when it does!(1) Which of the following things made the author mad in the morning?A. Her brother was wearing all green.B.

问题描述： A Transition point in my life 课文复述 120词左右 College-A Transition Point in My Life When I first entered college as a freshman,I was afraid that I was not able to do well in my studies .I was afraid of being off by myself,away from my family for the first time.Here I was surrounded by people I did not know and who did not know me.I would have to make friends with them and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take.Were they smarter than I was?Could I keep up with them?Would they accept me?I soon learned that my life was now up to me.I had to set a study program if I wanted to succeed in my course.I had to regulate the time I spent studying and the time I spent socializing.I had to decide when to go to bed,when and what to eat,when and what to drink,and with whom to be friendly.These questions I had to answer for myself.At first,life was a bit difficult.I made mistakes in how I used my time .I spent too much time making friends.I also made some mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college.Shortly,however,I had my life under control.I managed to go to class on time,do my first assignments and hand them in,and pass my first exams with fairly good grades.In addition,I made a few friends with whom I felt comfortable and with whom I could share my fears.I set up a routine that was really my own – a routine that met my needs.As a result,I began to look upon myself from a different perspective.I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family.It felt good to make my own decisions and see those decisions turn out to be wise ones.I guess that this is all part of what people call “growing up.“What did life have in store for me?At that stage in my life,I really was not certain where I would ultimately go in life and what I would do with the years ahead of me.But I knew that I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully jumped this important hurdle in my life; I had made the transition from a person dependent on my family for emotional support to a person who was responsible for myself.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
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.

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.
