    It’s often true that jobs for students sometimes lead to employment after graduation, so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.

    During my entire college life I worked as a bartender （酒吧招待）. I have to say that I really enjoyed that job, and was fond of the idea of making money without doing too much work. I also had the opportunity to socialize （ 交际） while working. I came to be known among the upper class, and gradually became popular on campus because of my job. However, working as a bartender can have the negative side that people tend to think that you enjoy drinking.

    All in all, I wish I had thought more carefully before deciding to take that job. I got a Bachelor’s degree （学士学位）in English, qualifying（使···有资格） me to work as a writer, but so far I have only been able to use the skills I learned from that part-time job.

    It would be different if I had searched for jobs related to writing or editing（编辑） instead of bartending. It’s commonly accepted that employment for students is only temporary （临时的），but we should never forget that it can connect to the work we get after we graduate. After all, employers not only look at the degree, but also your previous experience.

    So before getting a part-time job while you’re at school, consider what you want to do for the rest of your life.

    1.Which of the following is a benefit（好处）of working as a bartender for the author?

    A．He had a good time after school.

    B．He made connect with many people.

    C．He satisfied his curiosity about others.

    D．He had learned how to make wine.

    2.The underline word “negative” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ _______”.  

    A．bad

    B．same

    C．wrong

    D．bright

    3.The author writes the text mainly to _______.  

    A．describe his part-time job during his college life

    B．tell students to be careful with their part-time jobs

    C．convince（使确信）students that bartender is the part-time job

    D．advise students to look for their future jobs in the college

     

    【答案】

    1.B

    2.A

    3.B

    【解析】文章要告诉我们学生一定要注意兼职工作，因为对学生的未来就业有影响

    1.推理题。根据第二段第三行I also had the opportunity to socialize （ 交际） while working.可知在这份工作的时候我可以与别人交流。

    2.猜测词义题。根据上文提及做招待有很多好处，However说明后面意思相反，故选A。

    3.主旨大意题，根据主题段第一段so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.可知学生在做兼职工作的时候要注意。

    Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?

    If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who got hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.

    Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.

    To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a“simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot!

    What makes people think about simple facts differently?

    A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.

    B. The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.

    C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.

    D. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.

    Which of the following temperatures can the word “lukewarm” be applied to?

    A. Around 1℃              B. Above 60℃    C. Around 25℃      D. Below 0℃

    After reading the last paragraph, we may think of        .

    A. Newton’s law                  B. Gallileo’s theory of falling objects

    C. Einstein’s theory of relativity      D. Marx’s On Capital

    The main idea of this passage is         .

    A. people often judge something according to his own experience

    B. people often agree about simple facts

    C. it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact

    D. don’t care too much about simple facts

    When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care．
    Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there．They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．
    The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat came to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as 1 watched 1 was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons more kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．
    Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．

    One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little w*w^w..c~o*mchemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.

    For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.

    It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.

    67. We can infer from the passage that         .

    A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases

    B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone

    C. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed

    D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking

    68. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

    A. Feeling and thoughts can generate each other.

    B. It's easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.

    C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude.

    D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.

    69. Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should              .

    A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism

    B. be king in your office

    C. pay no attention to what is going on around you

    D. control your feeling to what is happening to you

    70. The best title to the passage is               .

    A. the Bad Effect of Negative Thinking     B. Why Should People Think

    C. Positive Thinking Benefits People        D. Thinking: The Vital Way
