6.When you need a job very much,you may end up taking one for which you are over qualified.Although you were initially grateful just to have the work,you now feel bored and depressed.Is there any way to change that?
Start by changing your opinion,says Caitlin Kelly,the author of Malled,a book based on her experience as a sales clerk after losing her job in journalism."Don't focus on what you're not getting but what you are getting,"she says."Be patient and work attentively with a wide range of people.It doesn't matter what the job is-there are always things you can learn and skills you can develop."
Hilary Pearl,the founder of a coaching firm,says,"Tell yourself the current situation isn't the end of your career.Don't overdramatize(過(guò)分夸大)the negative aspects but try to view the situation more philosophically:life has a series of stages,and this is one of them.Don't forget to study even in the worst stage."
Consider that because you're overqualified,you may be able to learn or do things on the job that might not have been possible in a more demanding position,says Sarah Hathorn,the chief executive of Illustra Consulting."You could spend your extra time in learning different aspects of the business and teaching others in the organization,"she says.
Is it possible to make your work more challenging,even if your job responsibilities aren't likely to change?
Of course,you may seek tasks and responsibilities that force you to learn something new or to work harder."You may be operating on autopilot(習(xí)慣性地)right now,but chances are that people above you are stressed,"Sarah Hathorn says."Take things off your boss's plate and let him know which projects or tasks you want to learn more about."
Always express your request positively,saying that you love new challenges,rather than complaining that you're bored and underused,says Ethun,the president of the Park Avenue Group.In your down time,educate yourself about the company and its industry."Read corporate information,analyst reports and related news articles,"she says."If your boss accepts your suggestions,it will make you a more valuable employee."
65.According to Caitlin Kelly,C.
A.one should be willing to do some small things
B.being a salesman is not as important as being a journalist
C.performing your regular duties well is important
D.doing a simple job well will bring you a sense of success
66.What Hilary Pearl intends to express is thatD.
A.work is just a stage of our whole life
B.the present job doesn't matter to us in a long run
C.one should be satisfied with his present situation
D.one should look forward instead of complaining about the present situation
67.The underlined words"take things off your boss's plate"meanB.
A.draw your boss's attention             
B.share your boss's burdens
C.give your boss useful advice        
D.a(chǎn)sk your boss for a better position
68.What is the common view about careers of the people mentioned in this passage?C
A.One should start his career from doing a simple job.
B.One should improve himself and help others as well.
C.One should keep learning new things to improve himself.
D.One should pay much attention to the relationship with the boss.

14.Could smells affect your lifespan?Female fruit flies(果蠅) without the ability to smell food live longer than other fruit flies.The sense of smell may be connected to the cellular ageing (細(xì)胞老化) process in many other living things-even people.Such connection has recently been found in both worms and flies.For example,scientists found that removing fruit flies'ability to smell made them live nearly 20percent longer than flies with a sense of smell.
They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing,as nutrition and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things.To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan,they removed flies'ability to smell carbon dioxide,which is produced by some fly foods.They left the rest of the smelling system intact.
This action had no effect on male flies,but the females lived 30percent longer than normal.Removing the ability to smell CO2 may stop flies getting information about food availability.This could mean that food is not enough,causing processes that encourage flies to survive.Scientists found that the female flies stored extra fat and that both males and females immune(免疫) to CO2were stronger against the stress than normal flies.It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO2
Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans.But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food.

21.From the passage,we learn that what scientists found is toC
A.show there is the best way to make lifespan longer
B.tell us we should remove our smell ability to live long
C.show the sense of smell can affect the cellular ageing process
D.explain fruit flies without ability to smell can live longer
22.Scientists do some researches to proveD
A.the immune system of flies to CO2
B.the connections between nutrition and lifespan
C.the importance of food smells to our humans
D.the connections between food smells and lifespan
23.According to scientists'opinion,we can see thatB
A.male flies in general can live longer than female ones
B.flies without ability to smell is encouraged to store extra energy
C.both male and female flies can live longer without the ability to smell
D.flies without ability to smell can also get information about food availability
24.Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?B
A.CO2 has few effects on female flies.
B.The sense of smell might have an effect on living things.
C.The sense of smell is necessary to humans'health.
D.Female fruit flies can always live longer than male flies.
