    七选五

    Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” __1._.

    There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. __2.__. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad (少年) offered to take his place. _3.__.

    __4.__. If the lad had gone home to consider his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

    Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land good jobs. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. _5.__. And within a year this person had become general manager of the company.

    A. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

    B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.

    C. it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers

    D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

    E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.

    F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

    G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

    I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握）my fists with impatience.

    At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

    I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

    Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.

    It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.

    It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'11 show up;we deliver when we say we'll deliver;and we pay when we say we'11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

    1.Why did the author feel impatient while driving?

    A. Because he had already driven for a long time.

    B. Because it was too far away from his destination.

    C. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.

    D. Because something urgent happened in his family.

    2.The author stopped at the traffic light because ________.

    A. there were passers-by crossing the road

    B. some policemen were on duty just at that point

    C. there was potential danger

    D. the trust between people influenced the author

    3.What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?

    A. The social system would be thrown into disorder.

    B. All the things would run normally.

    C. The social traditions would be abandoned.

    D. Strict rules and laws would be made.

    4.What is the theme of the passage?

    A. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

    B. Mutual Trust is the best policy.

    C. Actions speak louder than words.

    D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the king.

    Valerie Jarrett, 58, is serving as a top adviser to President Obama and has been close to the first family since the early 1990s. Joe Heim from WashingtonPost had an interview with her.

    Joe Heim: What do you think of a reporter who interviews you for 25 minutes, then later finds out his recorder stopped working and asks you to do the interview again?

    Valerie Jarrett: That he's human. You could have just tried to pretend that it didn't happen.

    Joe Heim: You're considered the president's closest adviser. Have you ever given him bad advice since he became president?

    Valerie Jarrett: I'm sure that I have. I think one of the reasons why the president's management style is very effective is because all of his advisers feel very comfortable being open about their advice. Finally, there's only one decision-maker. And that's the president.

    Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?

    Valerie Jarrett: A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because it's something I really had to work hard to overcome. And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because you're nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒适区). And if you're going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges that you might not be good at.

    Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?

    Valerie Jarrett: I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will.

    1.From the underlined words “That he's human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is _____.

    A. warm-hearted B. broad-minded

    C. well-educated D. strong-willed

    2.Why does Valerie Jarrett share her shyness?

    A. To show her hard way to success.

    B. To prove shy people can also be great.

    C. To show it is easy to overcome shyness.

    D. To ask people to face challenges bravely.

    3.In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?

    A. People. B. Society. C. World. D. Culture.
