【题目】When I was five years old, my parents would have to pull me home from yet another painful English vacation. I still didn’t want to leave. I want to be away from home. I wanted to go somewhere new and exciting. This became the theme of the next twenty years. I’d spend the whole year counting down to my next holiday, and then as soon as I left I’d begin to dread having to return home. Year after year.
Ten years ago, I decided to build a life that I didn’t want to escape from. I knew I wanted to travel in the long term, but I didn’t have a lot of money or savings, and there is no one paying for my adventures. For five years, I did three jobs while studying full-time at university. I didn’t eat out and I didn’t buy anything I didn’t need. I even moved in with my parents. I was able to save $16,000 over those five years, which was enough to keep me on the road for a couple of years.
But what if two years wouldn’t be enough? Before leaving, I began to spend my time in making plans that would allow me to work anywhere that had an Internet connection. At the time, I was studying for a master degree in physics. While studying I came up with a list of my interests and skills and began researching into a way to do these anywhere. If I could make money from it and if I could do it online then it was something worth going after.
I created a writing file that would help me to find the free writing jobs. I researched English and physics teaching online, and built travel websites to earn income through sale and advertising. Most of these failed, but I didn’t give up.
The work I do has changed over the years and it’s still changing now. Now, I pay my traveling through several different things. I’m the Student Travel Expert for About.com, and a senior writer for Too Many Adapters, a travel technology website. In addition, I will have my first book published this summer. I also offer a travel planning service to help readers prepare for their travels abroad.
To reach this point, where I can cover my expenses and travel full-time, took many, many years of hard work. For me, the freedom makes it worth it. With everything set in place, finally my dreams came true.
【1】What does the underlined word “dread” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. fear B. forget
C. miss D. consider
【2】The author has taken the following jobs except .
A. placing advertisements online B. offering a travel planning service
C. teaching physics in a university D. free writing on the websites
【3】Which of the following best describes the author?
A. open-minded B. kind-hearted
C. cold-blooded D. strong-willed
【4】What is the passage mainly about?

【题目】As if 2016 hadn’t been hard enough for China’s workforce, a yearly survey has revealed that more than half of the country’s white-collar employees got no year-end bonus ahead of the upcoming and costly lunar(农历的) New Year holiday. The survey of 11,500 workers by Chinese employment agency Zhaopin found that 50.9 per cent did not get an annual bonus at the end of 2016. Another 9.6 percent were told their bonuses had been delayed until after the New Year holiday.
Before the slowdown that began in 2014, employers in China had been less ungenerous with cash bonuses, which can total well over a full month’s pay and send employees back home for the holiday with plenty of cash for gifts to elders and other family members or to put away as savings. The impact of weak growth on year-end bonuses may have reached the highest point in 2015, however, when 66 per cent of white-collar workers received no year-end bonuses. And the 2016 level actually represents an improvement from 2014, when 61 per cent had to go without.
But that recovery has also seen the size of bonuses drop: last year the average bonus was Rmb 12,821（$1,861）, about Rmb 2,000 more than that in 2015 but still about Rmb800 below the 2014 average. More than a quarter of those surveyed who saw their bonuses drop last year blamed the drop on poor company performance.
Differences among the 34 cities surveyed were still greater, as the average bonus of over Rmb 15,800 in Beijing was more than three times than that in the lowest-paying city of Shenyang. Employees of state-owned firms also expressed more satisfaction with their bonuses than those at private companies — and little wonder, as the average bonus at the former was Rmb 17,318, or about Rmb 6,000 more than what private companies’ employees could expect.
But the impact of companies’ stinginess(吝啬) can go beyond simply ruining employees’ New Year holiday, possibly coming back to affect employers: 39 percent of respondents said they would look for work elsewhere if their year-end bonus was not returned to normal, an increase of 2.3 Percentage points from 2015.
【1】Which is the right order of the year of year-end bonuses’ receiving percentage according to the passage?
A. 2016>2015>2014 B. 2016>2014>2015
C. 2015>2016>20I4 D. 2014>2015>2016
【2】What can we know from the passage?
A. Some employees think poor company performance is a reason for the bonus drop.
B. Small bonus differences exist in the 34 cities surveyed in China.
C. The average bonus in Shenyang is over Rmb5500.
D. Private firms’ workers can get more bonuses than those in state-owned firms.
【3】Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Bonus Differences between State-owned Firms and Private Firms
B. The Importance of Bonuses for White-collar Workers in China
C. A Hard Year for China’s White-collar Workers
D. A survey of China’s Workforce’s Year-end Bonuses

【题目】How you calm yourself before giving a speech? Both modern research and centuries of experience from experienced（有经验的）public speakers suggest some practical（实用的）advice.
【1】
Know to whom you’ll be speaking, and learn as much about your audience（听众） as you can. The more you can expect the kind of reaction your listeners will have to your speech, the more comfortable you’ll be in delivering your message. Be audience-centered rather than speaker-centered.
【2】
You will feel less nervous if you talk about something you are familiar with or have some personal experience of. Your comfort with the subject of the speech will be reflected in your delivery.
【3】
The better prepared you are, the less anxiety（焦虑）you will experience. Being prepared means that you have researched your topic and practiced your speech several times before you deliver it.
【4】
You are likely to feel the most nervous during the opening moments of your speech. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a clear plan for how you will start your speech. Being familiar with your introduction（介绍）will help you feel more comfortable about the entire speech. If you know how you will end your speech, you will have a safe harbor in case you lose your place. If you need to end your speech ahead of time, a well-delivered conclusion can permit you to make a graceful exit.
【5】
One of the symptoms(症状) of nervousness is a change in your breathing and heart rates. Nervous speakers tend to take short, shallow breaths. To help break the anxiety—reduce breathing pattern, consider taking a few slow deep breaths before you rise to speak.
A. Know your introduction and your conclusion(总结).
B. Channel（引导） your nervous energy.
C. Know your audience.
D. Use deep-breathing techniques.
E. Be prepared.
F. Select（选择）an suitable topic.
G. To talk with your friends before giving a speech.
