【題目】閱讀理解
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名聲) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
（1）What is the passage mainly about?
A.Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B.The Internet is influencing young Britions' career choice.
C.The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D.Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.

A.Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B.There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C.The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D.Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
（3）What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A.Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B.A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C.People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D.Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
（4）What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A.Learn from others.
B.Become an online hit.
C.Hold running races.
D.Mix jobs with hobbies.

（1）B
（2）C
（3）A

Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.

Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.

Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.

What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.

So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on.

Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.

Trying to come to a decision complete onyour own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn’t bemade without talking to others first. There have several advantages if youconsult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuableadvices and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked. Foranother, friends may stop you make big mistakes.
When consulting others about importantdecisions, you should keep two things of mind. The first one is that you needto find someone whom you respect enough to trust their judgment. The secondthing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turningto a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In word, making any bigdecision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members firstare always a good idea.

Chinese e-commerce websites fail to pay more attention to olderconsumers, says a news report.
There’s been a thought that younger consumers have been thedriving force of online buying. That may not be the case. According to astatement from Alipay, the average expenditure (支出) of Alipayusers born before the 1960s was 31,000 yuan in 2012, much higher than 14,000yuan of those born after the 1980s. It shows that online shopping has become akey part of people’s daily consumption, for both young and old.
Besides shopping, people pay bills such as water bill,electricity bill, and credit card repayment online. The middle-aged and seniorconsumers are also participating in that consumption revolution.
Liu Chen, 56, said that his online expenditure in 2014 was over50,000 yuan, about half of the total annual expenditure. He always pays histelephone bill online. Clothes, electrical appliances and kids’ snacks are themain items he purchases online.
Liu’s shopping strategy is to find something good online first,then go to shops to check it out, and finally buy it online because it ischeaper. As quality concerns him, Liu only buys items that come with aguarantee.
Stories such as those from Liu are representative of millions ofmiddle-aged and older Chinese, which show the great potential of the aged inthe Chinese consumption market. Yet, the market seems not to be valued as itshould be.
Some Chinese e-commerce websites such as jd. com, dangdang. comand amazon. cn don’t have a category for goods for the elderly on their mainpages. Alibaba’s platform does have one, but the goods in it are not asabundant as other categories. Moreover, Taobao’s category is not reallydesigned for elders, but their children.
Despite the seeming lack of commitment to older consumers, theChinese market for the elderly is clearly huge, and e-commerce websites should takegreat efforts to develop it.
（1）The data in Paragraph 2 is used to prove that ________.
A.young people have learned to save money
B.older people are crazy about online shopping
C.young people are the driving force of online shopping
D.both the young and the old have contributed to online shopping
（2）According to the passage, Liu Chen mainly spends money online on _______.
a. buying clothes
b. paying the telephone bill
c. paying the electricity bill
d. buying electrical appliances
A.a, b, c
B.a, b, d
C.b, c, d
D.a, c, d
（3）Liu Chen chooses online shopping mainly because of its ________.
A.low price
B.convenience
C.great potential
D.quality guarantee
（4）Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Online shopping
B.Older consumers in e-commerce
