Being able to call on the old boy's network helps you get your foot in the door,but has little impact on your later success.Having good connections does change your possibility of being offered a higher wage when you start working,but has no impact on your eventual wage.Coming from a wealthy background has little impact on lifetime earnings.Over time,brain power soon overtakes(超过),and intelligence is the factor,which will determine your earnings and success.The speed of your rise through the ranks is determined largely by your own intelligence.
The study monitored earnings and promotions over the course of 25 years.Scores were used to assess the Socio?Economic Background(SEB)-wealth and connections-and standard Army intelligence tests used to assess intelligence.The study is sure to infuriate(激怒)those angered by wealthy groups such as Oxford's upper-crust(上流社会)Bullingdon Club,of which both David Cameron and Borris Johnson were members.
Professor Yoav Ganzach says that these findings have a positive message for those,who can't rely on nepotism(裙带关系)for their first job.“Your family can help you start your career and you do get an advantage,but it doesn't help you progress.And once you start working,you can go wherever your abilities take you,” he says.When intelligence and SEB are pitted directly against once another(相互较量),intelligence is a more accurate predictor of future career success,he say.

A.1. B.2.
C.3. D.4.

Hu Li's heart sank due to the color of the air.Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City to Beijing last week,she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze(炭灰色的阴霾).The 39?year?old businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade,and this past month,she said,brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen.It gave her husband a cough and left her seven?year?old daughter housebound(足不出户).“My husband as well as I is working here,so we have no choice,” she said.“But if we had a choice,we'd like to escape from Beijing.”

The smog's(烟雾) most threatening aspect is its high concentration(浓度) of PM 2.5 - particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream,causing breathing infections,lung cancer and possibly damaging children's development.The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year,65% of them in Asia.

A smart phone (智能手机) is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first smart phones enabled the users to send and receive emails. Later models added the function of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation (导航) units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smart phones also include touchscreens and web browsers (浏览器) that display web pages.
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smart phone. That doesn’t mean making calls, but playing phone games and browsing the Web.
Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a conversation instead of traditional communication. It’s no secret that our lives are being affected by our smart phones obsession.
However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.
Ironically, YouTube’s data show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.
The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene Deguzman, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of whom are absorbed in their phones instead of the world around them. To a certain extent, we all do it.
1.People prefer a smart phone to a common one, because the latter only can help us ______.
A. check emailsB. send messages C. find the destinationD. watch a video
2.The underlined word “obsession” in the third paragraph most probably means “______”.
A. devotionB. contribution C. addictionD. emotion
3.Which of the following is right?
A. People spend as average of two hours and 40 minutes each day using smart phones.
B. The film hasn’t been put on in the cinema.
C. The film is written by an actor named Charlene Deguzman.
D. The film has already been viewed more than 105 million times in the first few days.
4.When the writer mentions the number of people watching the film from mobile devices in the fifth paragraph, he mainly feels ______.
A. encouraged B. depressedC. proudD. satisfied

When you consider what subject to study in college, chances are that you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation. You will likely ask the question: “Can I find a well-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future?”
This consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities (人文学科) at college. People generally believe that the humanities, which include literature , history, cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation (职业). Science subjects, however, are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家).
“I've decided to take finance as my college major. My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said Huachen Yueru, 17, a science student at Wuxi No. 1 High School.
Even those who choose a liberal arts (文科) education often pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find a job.
“I'm going to study Spanish in college, which I believe will open doors to a high-paying job for me,” said Liu Chao, 18, a Senior 2 student at Dalian No 20 High School. He said few of his classmates show interest in subjects like philosophy and history, which are seen as “less promising” in job markets.
The popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has also been decreasing in the United States. American scholars (学者) and universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (经济危机) liberal arts subjects will be hit hardest. As money tightens (紧缩), they worry that the humanities may become “a great luxury (奢侈品) that many cannot afford”, according to the New York Times.
1. When you consider what to study in college, what does you and your parents usually think about ?
A. whether you are interested in the subject.
B. if you can lead a happy life.
C. what you can make out of it after graduation.
D .How much you can learn in the college.
2.Why do students show little interest in the subjects, like philosophy or history ?
A .Because they are not interested in them.
B. Because they think these subjects are useless.
C. Because they see these subjects as less-promising in job market.
D. Because they like the science subjects.
3. What can we infer from the passage ?
A. Humanities are becoming less and less popular with the students.
B. Studying science subjects is sure to find a well-paid job.
C. The humanities in college should be cancelled.
D. The writer thinks those who choose the liberal arts education will choose their favorite subjects.
4. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph ?
A. the subject you study in college B. science C. humanities D. liberal arts
