    Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
    1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
    There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
    2) How do you handle change?
    Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
    3) Do you enjoy working with computers？
    I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
    4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？
    This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
    5) How do you like to get paid?
    Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
    Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
    小题1:What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
    A．Assessing your skillsB．Going to different areas
    C．Matching your skills with a positionD．taking your personality into consideration
    小题2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
    C．Extreme people tend to work with others.D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
    小题3:What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
    A．Design.B．Changes.C．Cooperation.D．Hobbies.

    小题4:What is the best title for this passage?
    A．Lifestyles and Job PayB．Jobs and Environment

    Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was   41  into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was   42  with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t   43  fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how   44  I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to   45  something,” Mother said quietly. I could   46  her pain and the tension of   47  the strong feeling that were interrupted by my   48 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face   49  my shoulder and sobbed. I held her  50    and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was   51  . At that moment, feeling Mother’s   52  with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to   53 . She was still my mother,   54   she was something   55  : a person like me, capable of fear,   56  and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought  57  in her arms.
    A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station __58 .
    “It’s a job I can do, though.” She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very   59  feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her   60   away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

    Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
    Walk it off
    Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
    Tune it out
    Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
    Give yourself a pep talk
    Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲观的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
    Reduce your stress
    Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(复杂的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
    Avoid things that won't improve your mood
    TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
    小题1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
    A．Doing nothing about it.
    B．Exercising and enjoying music.
    C．Writing down negative thoughts.
    D．Talking about it with neighbors.
    小题2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
    A．It helps remove bad mood.
    B．It brings us a new technique.
    C．It is not complicated to do so.
    D．It is an area to be easily controlled.
    小题3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
    A．shows what happens around you
    B．does not energize you
    C．reminds you of eating and drinking
    D．produces a calming effect
    小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Energy Level and Stress
    B．How to Beat a Bad Mood
    C．Bad Mood and Our Life
    D．How to Control Your Feeling

    The government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy.
    　　What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night.
    　　All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June.
    　　On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.
    小题1:The main idea of the first sentence in the passage is that ______.
    A．the command post is stationed with people all the time.
    B．the command post is crowded with people all the time.
    C．there are clocks around the command post.
    D．the clock in the command post is taken care of by the staff.
    小题2: The favorable breeding ground for the locust is ______.
    A．rich soil.B．wet land
    C．paces covered crops and vegetationD．the Red Sea
    小题3: People are alert at the threat of the locust because ______.
    A．the insects are likely to create another African famine.
    B．the insects may blacken the sky.
    C．the number of the insects increases drastically.
    D．the insects are gathering and moving in great speed.
    小题4:Which of the following is true?
    A．Once the pesticides are used, locust will die immediately.
    B．Relief efforts are proved most fruitful due to the effectiveness of certain pesticides.
    C．Dieldrin, the most effective locust killer, has been widely accepted in many countries.
    D．Over 10 million acres of affected area will have been treated with locust-killing chemicals by the end of June.
    小题5: The purpose for affected nations to meet in Algiers on May 30 is ______.
    A．to devise anti-locust plans.
    B．to wipe out the swarms in two years.
    C．to call out for additional financial aid from other nations.
    D．to bring the insects under control before the plague gets worse.

    After we meet people, it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendliness，flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness and punctuality. After all, “to make a friend, be a friend” is not such a big and difficult order. There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some fundamental psychological do’s and don’ts．
    If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual questions may bring him out of his shell. Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person for you to talk, or to listen. Either way, the goal is to make yourself pleasant．
    Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently. To have anyone “hang on our words” is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody．For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction，but when it is our turn to be audience，let us remember how we felt as the actor，and let’s be genuinely interested in what the other fellow is saying．
    Other people will like us, if we like them. If you want friends, keep your mind and heart open to friendship. Be alive to the other person’s world．
    小题1:This passage is mainly about________.

    Only three local students won Chinese Blog（博客）Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China. 
    170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many posting based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese. 
    Themes ranged from local opinions－such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre－to food blogs. 
    The entries were judged on Language proficiency（熟练程度）and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers. 
    Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges. 
    In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China. 
    “No surprise.” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Ianova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”
    One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao，19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts（播客）.Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible. “Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”
