In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. 1. At that time, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter. 2. .

As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. 3.

Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.

This young girl could easily have lied，and nobody would have known it but her. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. 4.

This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment. 5.

A. So she won the contest.

B. As a result, she lost the contest.

C. The judges wanted to give her another chance.

D. It’s been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.”

E. It’s so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow.

F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.

G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.

Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are… but they also turn you into a workaholic, it seems.

A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.

The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have an email-enabled phone, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.

Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”

1.What can we conclude from the text?

A. All that glitters is not gold.

B. Every coin has two sides.

C. It never rains but pours.

D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.

2.The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by .

A. calling B. reaching

C. getting D. using

3.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The average UK working day is between nine and twelve hours.

B. Nine-tenths spend over three hours checking work emails.

C. One fourth check their first mails between 11 pm and midnight.

D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Workaholics like smart phones.

B. Smart phones bring about extra work.

C. Smart phones make our live easier.

D. Employers don’t like smart phones.

What exactly is a Dream Career? I am sure it means different things to different people. You could presently be unsure about what your final job would be. If you have any doubts about what your dream career is, you may know which careers you definitely would not like to do. For example, if you have an interest in art, and do not like math, you most certainly would not like being a mechanical engineer. If you love art, and have no artistic talent, maybe you would like to be around art instead, as an art curator(館長(zhǎng)).

A career related to your passion, hobby, or special interest, is the path to follow in finding your dream job. Try thinking about what things you like to do in your spare time. Many are attracted toward turning what they love to do in their off work hours into a full time job. For example, if you like to put together model cars, maybe you would like opening your own hobby shop, or work for someone who owns one.

Once you find what you are interested in doing, you can then match this to a career which will be similar to what you are passionate about. What you consider a dream career has to center around what kind of person you actually are. This is called your Career Personality. What type of person do you consider yourself to be? People are naturally attracted to those things which reflect who they are as unique individuals. For example, if you are slightly on the shy side, maybe you would like a job where you work on your own, relatively unsupervised, behind a computer. If you are outgoing, maybe you would like to work with others, and be the supervisor.

All it may take to find our dream career is to know ourselves a little better, trust in our own judgment, and be realistic about what we can attain occupationally. This is how I found what I am doing now.

1.What’s the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain what a dream career really is.

B. To offer tips on finding a dream career.

C. To tell us what Career Personality means.

D. To give examples of different personalities.

2.Which of the following about Career Personality is TRUE?

A. One should choose a dream career by his／her personality.

B. Choosing a dream career depends on a person’s ability.

C. One should choose a dream career according to the reality.

D. One should try different types of careers by his／her ability.

3.Which of the following is what we need to find a dream career?

a. Realizing our ability.

b. Believing in ourselves.

c. Having a better understanding of ourselves.

d. Considering the background of our family.

A. a, c, d B. a, b, c

C. b, c, d D. a, c, d

4.From the second paragraph we learn your dream career has something to do with the following EXCEPT .

A. your hobby B. your special interest

C. your part—time job D. your passion

Standing alone at Browns party，Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward，establishing him clearly in her mind’s eye. He was a thin man，forty-one years of age，with fair hair that was often untidy．In the seventeen years they’d been married he had changed very little：he was still nervous with other people，and smiled in the same shy way，and his face was still almost boyish．

She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any．She had been annoyed for this fact over the years and in the end，quite some time ago now，she had consulted Dr.Abbat at Edward’s request.

In the Browns’rich living room，its walls and ceilings giving out a bright light with a metallic surface of imitation gold，Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband．

In a moment he would be at the party too，since they had agreed to meet there，although by now it was three quarters of an hour later than the time he had planned to come.

The Browns were people he knew in a business way，and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before，which made it more difficult for her，having to wait about，not knowing a soul in the room．

When she thought about it she felt herself unfairly treated，for although Edward was kind to her and always had been，it was far from thoughtful to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach．She looked at her watch and sighed．

1.What made Anna feel that she had failed her husband，Edward?

A．Her bad relationship with her husband．

B．Her husband's youthful appearance

C．Her inability to have children

D．Her nervousness at parties

2.Why did Anna stand alone at the party?

A．Her husband’s nervousness affected her

B．She didn’t like the Browns．

C．She wanted to enjoy the music．

3.Anna started to get angry because

A．she wasn’t feeling well

B．her husband had usually been more thoughtful

C．she hated to see the Browns' wealth

D．she came to know that Mr．Brown was only a businessman

4.Why did Edward want Anna to attend the party?

A．He knew that he was going to be late．

B．He believed she would impress the Browns．

C．He thought it clever for her to associate with the Browns．

D．He wanted her to learn how to do business from the Browns
