Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage．
I am Lynn．My previous job was as principal of a language school, where I received awards for training teachers to teach more effectively．A year ago, I started an international company．I spent months conducting programs in the US and Russia．During this time, some Russian immigrants came to stay at my house．Fortunately, these visitors helped a lot at home and made life easier．At the same time, I wrote several books to be published by my company and coedited a book for a major publisher．
I am grateful I have a photographic memory, so I can remember everything I see．Otherwise, I might not be that productive．In addition to my work, I have a family at home．Some of my children have had serious health problems from birth, but I try to handle those problems well and efficiently．With tremendous help from my parents, the kids are fed, and clothed, and educated．
I am busy from the time I get up until the time I go to bed．My time has to be carefully planned．I do not like to be interrupted because I want to accomplish my goals．

D．Lynn's efficiency in conducting programs．
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage．
Job interviews can generally be divided into three types．
The first is what I would call the traditional interview．This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations．So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like what duties did you have in your previous job．This is still the model for a lot of interviews today．In my view it's not the best to select staff．
Then there is the case interview．Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem．It might go something like this, ‘A company wants to hire more graduates without spending more than its current budget．What would you advise them to do? ’This can be particularly challenging, for you need to analyze the problem and solve it．
The third type is known as the behavioral interview．The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past．A typical question might be ‘Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to follow orders that you didn't agree with? ’ This opens up a lot of information and the interviewer gets to see more of the candidate．
Questions：
14．What kind of questions are usually asked in the traditional interview?
15．What does the case interview focus on about the candidate?
16．What does the speaker mainly talk about?
14．A．Economic questions．
B．Routine questions．
C．Academic questions．
D．Challenging questions．
15．A．Work experience．
B．Educational qualifications．
C．Problem－solving abilities．
D．lnfomation－gathering abilities．
16．A．Features of different types of interview．
B．Skills in asking interview questions．
C．Changes in three interview models．
D．Suggestions for different job interviews．
Section C
Directions：In section C, you will hear two longer conversations．The conversations will be read twice．After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard．Write your answers on your answer sheet．
1．
W：Hi, Bruce, it's Naomi．
M：Hi, Naomi．
W：I'm calling about the conference in Shanghai on November 8th．We have to make some changes．
M：OK, go ahead．
W：I don't think the peace guardian will be big enough．We need a center that can seat at least 600．
M：That many? Any suggestions?
W：The Palace Center will be free that day, but it will mean increasing the registration fee by ＄50．From ＄800 to ＄850．
M：That won't be a problem．Anything else?
W：Milan University says they are sending Carla Marisco instead of Professor Bertoni．But the talk would be the same, Opportunities and Risks in the African Market．
M：Fine．Make those changes and all inform everyone at my end．
Complete the form．Write ONE WORD for each answer．
2．W：David, we all know you took up skateboarding at ten．But did your parents support you?
M：Yeah, my parents even let me skate in the house．
W：Did they?
M：Yeah, they were pretty cool．
W：How about your school work?
M：That was fine．I was able to get my school work done with good grades．My only problem was that I had so much physical energy that I could not sit still in class．Then some teachers started taking my skateboard away．
W：That couldn't stop you from staking?
M：No way．The cool thing was that my parents managed to find me a different school．The headmaster there was wonderful．He let us plan our own P．E．classes．So guess what class I created．
W：Skateboarding．
M：You got it．That was my P．E．class．By that time I was turning professional and starting to show off some techniques at competitions．
W：Is that when your new style became famous?
M：Yeah．Other skaters had this smooth flowing style, but I was kind of like a robot always coming up with new tricks．

Pressure too much?
In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(铁饭碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
Work should be
a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.
【小题1】Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.
| A．they will lose their jobs |
| B．most of them find less interest in their work |
| C．they can make more money after work. |
| D．they want to stay at home. |
| A．Where there is work there is pressure. |
| B．Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden. |
| C．All modern men are worried and low in spirit. |
| D．A certain amount of pressure is necessary. |
| A．we should drink coffee with our friends |
B． we can get help and comfort from our friends or families. |
| C．we can go home because it is warm |
| D．to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way. |

It’s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “ If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You’ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I’ll tell my mom I’m going to play a game, and she’ll say, ‘Okay, but only for 30 minutes,’”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
【小题1】The text is mainly about kids’ _________
| A．cell phone use | B．various hobbies |
| C．favorite video games | D．using electronic devices |
| A．Brandon feels annoyed about his late-night message. |
| B．Olson is against teenagers’ using mobile phones. |
| C．many teenagers lack friends in their middle school |
| D．kids have too many electronic devices to choose from |
| A．Watching TV while using the computer |
| B．Talking on the phone while lying on the sofa. |
| C．Playing video games after having lunch. |
| D．Listening to loud music while relaxing. |
| A．in order | B．in store | C．in sight | D．in control |
| A．do homework while watching TV |
| B．do homework in a place without disturbance |
| C．spend more time on homework |
| D．have less homework |
