Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:
Do you prefer working alone or with other people? There are isolating(使孤立)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
How do you handle change? Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
Do you enjoy working with computers? I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
________________________________? This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
How do you like to get paid? Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad
B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C．Extreme people tend to work with other.
D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.

A．Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position.
B．There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select a job.
C．Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select a job.
D．You should ignore your skills when you select a job.

A．What type of work environment do you enjoy?

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了你在選擇職業(yè)時，應(yīng)該考慮幾個個人性格的因素。
小題1:考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第二段中的Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer.可知，大多數(shù)人不極端但他們有他們偏愛的傾向。可推知D正確。A錯是因為：孤立的工作使外向的人便瘋狂，而不是所有的人；B項錯因為：相互交流的工作使害羞的人感到不自在，而不是使人更害羞；C錯因為：文章沒提到極端的人易于和其他人合作。
小題2:考查猜測句意。根據(jù)文章第一段中的There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas; 可以推知：你在選擇職業(yè)生涯的時候，除了技術(shù)和職位以外還有幾個你個人的性格問題需要考慮。這和選項B相吻合
小題3:考查推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段中的This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly..可推知，這段講的是你喜歡什么樣的工作環(huán)境，故選A。
小題4:考查文章的標(biāo)題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的中心句If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas; 可知，文章講述的是：人的特性和工作之間的關(guān)系。故選D。
小題5:考查推理判斷。此處Outgoing隨和，外向； Motivated動機； Cooperative合作； Passionate激情。根據(jù)文章提到的5點可知，沒有合作這項內(nèi)容。故選C。

A Charlotte N.C. man was charged with first-degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death. Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death? Prosecutors (公訴人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule, which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a severe crime—even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
But, medically speaking, can someone actually be frightened to death? We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Absolutely, no question about it.
The body has a natural protective method called the fight-or-flight response, which was originally described by Walter Cannon，chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild, an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the automatic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to early humans. However, in the modern world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
The autonomic nervous system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response. This chemical is poisonous in large amounts; it damages the organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart. There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death.
By the way, any strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result. There are people who have died in excitement or in religious passion. There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one, turned to his partner and said, “I can die now”, and then he dropped dead.
小題1:What is Martin Samuels’ attitude to the possibility of being frightened to death?
A．Approval.B．Disapproval.C．Doubtful.D．Indifferent.
小題2:What can we learn about the fight-or-flight response according to the passage?
A．The fight-or-flight response was raised and proved by Martin Samuels.
B．It is a natural protective method that can’t be found in all creatures but humans.
C．The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modern ones.
D．The fight-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
小題3:What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs?
A．Winning an unexpected fortune.
B．Missing a dead family member.
C．Watching a horror movie.
D．Listening to a sweet song.
小題4:The purpose of the passage is ______.
A．to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B．to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C．to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D．to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death

Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命) often work very long days.  Tasks are scheduled (安排) so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work.  This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS).  ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework.  They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.  During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing（沖浪）” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.
小題1:What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to (理解)the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column（專欄） called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺負人). 
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海綿), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
小題1:The passage mainly talks about _____.
A．how to get along well with teachers
B．the importance of a good relation with teachers
C．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
小題2: “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _____.
A．learning becomes easier for you at once　　　　　
B．you find an opening to learning　　　　　
C．there’ll be more problems with learning　　　　　
D．there’ll be no problems with learning.
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
B．You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
C．You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble.
D．You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
小題4:Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?
A．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.
B．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.　　　　
C．Though few there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.　　
D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled（鋪瓦的）ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is     .
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room      I see is hair.” Once you’ve     what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will     make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different     , or forget about it and      the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively      life, yet are essentially unhappy. while people who have suffered a great deal but     remain happy.
The first      is gratitude. All happy people are      . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to      , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is      that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious      are those pursuit that give our lives purpose — anything     studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are     to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our     has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We       a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should     this truth: if you choose to find the  in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

McDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the word's most recognized person after Santa Claus.
　　The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.
　　After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（￡44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.
　　Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984） at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac （1968） and the Egg McMuffin （1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.
　　Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and Israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've go time to clean.”
小題1: McDonald's was founded _____.
A．by a kitchen equipment salesman
B．in California.
C．by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.
D．a(chǎn)fter the first World War.
小題2:What do we know about McDonald's brothers?
A．They were not McDonald's founders although they named the restaurant.
B．Their business was still in depression after several years.
C．They had clear job separation on business.
D．They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.
小題3: Which is not Kroc's contribution to McDonald's ?
A．He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.
B．Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame
C．He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.
D．He built McDonald's empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.
小題4:Which statement is true according to the passage?
A．The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founder
B．The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.
C．Employees in McDonald's have no time to lean.
D．The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus.
