Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a person's role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.
Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In schools, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. Career education helps students develop self- understanding and use it to plan their education and working life.
A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling (咨詢) programs. In kindergartens and elementary schools, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle schools or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience.

People with bigger brains ftend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence， according to new study findings.
However， the study author Dr Michael A.McDaniel of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond emphasized that these findings represent a general trend， and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance， Albert Einstein’s brain was “not particularly large”， McDaniel noted. “There’s some relationship between brain size and intelligence on the average， but there’s plenty of room for exceptions，” he said.
Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the1830s，  when German anatomist(解剖學(xué)家) Frederich Tiedmann wrote that he believed there was “an unquestionable connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man”. Since that statement， scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tiedmann’s  assertion was， in fact， correct. Most studies have looked into the link between head size and intelligence. More recently， however， researchers have published additional studies on brain size and intelligence， measured using MRI scan(核磁共振成像掃描).
For his study， McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that looked into the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on the average， people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship between brain volume and intelligence was stronger in women than men， and in adults than in children. McDaniel notes in the journal Intelligence.
McDaniel is not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. “Other research has shown that women， on the average， tend to have smaller brains than men， but score just as well—if not higher—in tests of intelligence，” he said.
McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a “perfect” one. “One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-sized people who are highly intelligent，” he said， “But， on the average， the relationship holds.”
小題1:. What does the text mainly talk about？
A．MRI scans are applied to intelligence.
B．On the average， a bigger brain means higher IQ.
C．Dr McDaniel did well in his intelligence study.
D．Scientists are interested in Tiedmann’s idea.
小題2: By mentioning Albert Einstein， the writer wants to show　　　　.
A．Albert Einstein was intelligent
B．the result of intelligence test was false
C．being hard working is more important than intelligence
D．brain size doesn’t necessarily decide the level of intelligence
小題3: The underlined word “assertion” in Para. 3 probably means “　　　　”.
A. experiment   B. statement  C proof      D. demand
小題4: After Frederich Tiedmann wrote his article，　　　　.
A．many scientists agreed with him
B．numerous studies have failed to prove his idea
C．MRI scan became popularly used
D．lots of researchers were interested in the connections between head size and intelligence
小題5: According to the text， Dr McDaniel’s study　　　　.
A．proves Tiedmann’s idea was completely true
B．shows women are smarter than men
C．involves many studies and a lot of people
D．explains why people with smaller brains are clever

Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow
water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small
fish gather by the thousands off an Alabama pirer. Birds covered in
oil are crawling deep into marshes （沼澤）, never to be seen again.
Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster（英國石油公司漏油事件）are seeing
some strange phenomena. Fish and other wildlife seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast in a trend that some researchers see as a potentially troubling sign. The animals' presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily be captured by their enemies.
The nearly two-month-old spill（漏油）has created an environmental disaster in US history as tens of millions of gallons have flown into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Scientists are seeing some unusual things as they try to understand the effects on thousands of species of marine life.
For nearly four hours Monday, a three-person crew with Greenpeace cruised past delicate
islands and mangrove-dotted inlets in Barataria Bay off southern Louisiana. They saw dolphins by the dozen frolicking（嬉戲）in the oily sheen（光澤）and oil-tinged pelicans feeding their young. But they spotted no dead animals.
"I think part of the reason why we're not seeing more yet is that the impacts of this crisis are
really just beginning," Greenpeace marine biologist John Hocevar said.
The counting of dead wildlife in the Gulf is more than an academic exercise; the deaths will
help determine how much BP pays in damages.
小題1:What do the marine life react to the BP disaster?
A．Birds crawl deep into caves.
B．Dolphins and sharks show up in deep water.
C．Tens of thousands of marine animals are found dead.
D．Sea creatures flee from oil spill, gathering near seashore.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT related to the potentially troubling sign?
A．The usual habitat of deep-water animals is badly polluted.
B．Many animals could be easily eaten by their enemies.
C．Masses of fishes could die due to lack of oxygen.
D．Some dolphins are frolicking in marshes.
小題3:The environmental disaster was caused by    .
A．the damage of the Mexico Gulf ecosystem
B．the lack of environmental sense of BP
C．the nearly two-month-old oil spill
D．the crowding marine life
小題4:What is John Hocevar’s attitude towards the disaster?
A．Worried.B．Disappointed.C．Depressed.D．Hesitant.
小題5:From the passage, we can infer that        .
A．Bp will pay much money according to the number of dead wildlife there
B．marine scientists have seen some strange phenomena
C．the disaster has little influence on dolphins
D．a(chǎn) three-person crew reached no conclusion

After we meet people it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend．The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendly company, flash through our minds．But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness, and punctuality (守時(shí)).After all, “ to make a friend, be a friend” is not such a big and difficult order．There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some elements which do have an effect on people in fundamental psychology(基礎(chǔ)心理學(xué)) or not.
If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual (隨意的) questions may bring him out of his shell．Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person, for you to talk, or to listen．Either way the goal is to make yourself pleasant.
Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently．To have anyone “ hang on our words” is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody．For a few extremely happy seconds we are the centre of attraction, but when it is our turn to be audience, let us remember how we felt as the actor, and let’s be genuinely (真正地) interested in what the other fellow is saying.
Other people will like us, if we like them．If you want friends, keep your mind and heart open to friendship．Be alive to the other person’s world.

Rabbits are easy to raise. They are clean and quiet. They don’t need a lot of room. And it costs a small amount of money to feed them, but you can get a big return.
One male and two females will produce as many as fifty more rabbits in a year. That is enough to provide enough meat for a family. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat.
You don’t have to be a farmer to raise rabbits. You can raise them in the city.
Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They don’t have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high and one meter deep.
Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square. Waste from the animals will drop through the holes. This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry.
Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain.
Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the fence.
Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbit cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence.
One month after mating(交配), female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two months, a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a meal for a small family.
Rabbits are also valuable for their fur. It takes time, skill and money to prepare the fur and skin for use. If you have only a few rabbits, it probably would be best to let a tanner(制革工) prepare the fur for you. Skill is also needed to remove the fur from the rabbit.
But rabbits do not have to be dead to be valuable. Many people enjoy keeping rabbits as friendly pets. And rabbit waste makes an excellent fertilizer(肥料). It can be mixed directly into the soil to improve the growth of vegetables, trees, and flowering plants.
小題1:The text is written mainly_______.
A．to explain why rabbits are clean and quietB．to let people know more about rabbits
C．to tell readers how to raise rabbitsD．to introduce a small friendly animal pet
小題2:What is important if you raise rabbits?
A．Holes are needed for waste to drop through.
B．Each rabbit must be given a separate room.
C．Each room must have clean water every day.
D．Feeding containers are hung on the fence.
小題3:Why should the holes in the wire fence be about one centimeter square?
A．Because the holes let in sunlight.
B．Because rabbits like these holes.
C．Because rabbits get food from them.
D．Because waste of rabbits drops through the holes.
小題4:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A．You don’t have to kill rabbits to make more money.
B．Rabbits cannot be sold to make money when they are alive.
C．Rabbits are more valuable when they are alive.
D．Rabbits have to be killed to be more valuable.

Just like the young character in Hannah Montana, who so often fights with her father over her desire to be more independent, British teenagers also have their troubles.
A recent survey among 2,000 British parents shows that girls and boys experience similar kinds of stress, with some slight differences .
Girls want to grow up fast, demanding greater freedom. They feel pressure from their peers to be thin and sometimes dangerously experiment with alcohol .
Girls over 14 are more concerned with getting a boyfriend, make-up and going out with friends than with their schoolwork. They are more likely to complain about pocket money .
Parents found they have their toughest time with boys over the age of 15. Their sons are battling bad skin, are reluctant(不情愿的) to speak, and just like girls over 14 are little interested in their studies. Seven out of ten parents said their sons become frustrated(挫敗的) when they are not understood .

In a survey published in the US last month, two out of three high school students said their life was tough. There was a universal worry over body image and ability to fit in socially.
Plenty of the teenagers feel great pressures to get good grades, with nearly half regarding this as their top worry. The next biggest issue is pressure they face to get into good college. According to the survey, 66 percent reported saving their money to pay for all or part of college.
“Today’s American teens have witnessed what their families have endured during recent economic challenges, and they are much more aware of the importance of planning ahead,” said Stuart Rubinstein, managing director with TD Ameritrade, which carried out the survey.

Modern scientists have mad great development in building computers that can imitate logical thought. There are two schools of thought on artificial intelligence(人工智能)。 Supporters of “Strong AI” consider that all human thought can be broken down into a set of mathematical operations. They expect that they will one day be able to copy the human mind and create a robot able to both think and feel, with a sense of self---the stuff of classic science fiction. Supporters of “Weak AI” think a computer might seem intelligent, but it is not aware of what it is doing, with no sense of self or consciousness.
Now the development of life---like robots may be closer to reality than you think. Engineers have created robotic soccer players, and bees that act like the real thing.
Powered by a small battery on her back, humanoid robot Lola is a soccer champion. “The idea of the robot is that it can walk and see things because it has a video camera on top.” Raul Rojas, Ph.D., professor of artificial intelligence at Freie University in Berlin, Germany, told Ivanhoe. Using the camera on her head, Lola recognizes objects by color.
“Using this camera, Lola can locate objects on the floor, such as a red ball, go after the ball and try to score a goal,” said Dr. Rojas. German engineers have also created a bee robot. It can imitate the bee’s “waggle” dance which communicates the location of food and water.
“Later what we want to prove is that the robot can send the bees in any decided direction using the waggle dance,” said Dr. Rojas.
Robots like this could one day become high-tech surveillance(偵察) tools that secretly fly and record data.
64. Robotic soccer players mentioned in the text reach the level of        .
A. “Strong AI” technology        B. “Weak AI” technology
C. being able to think themselves  D. having a sense of consciousness
65. How does Lola tell different objects according to the text?
A. By microwave   B. By sound    C. By smell.   D. By color
66. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to “      ”.
A. a bee robot                       B. a robotic soccer player
C. a bee that can use the waggle dance  D. a surveillance tool
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. A robot able to both think and feel only exists in science fiction now.
B. Scientists have created the robots that can play soccer better than men.
C. Engineers have created robotic soccer players and bees that can replace the real thing,
D. Scientists have made great development in recording data in the past few years.
