    Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

    One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

    Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

    Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

    “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

    1.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work B. He was bored with his job C. He wanted a higher position D. He hoped to find a better boss

    2.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre B. a wild man was pushing a car C. a terrible accident happened D. an old man’s car broke down

    3.How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?A. He was sorry for the other applicants B. There was no hope for him to get the job C. He regretted helping the old man D. The interviewer was very rude

    4.What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？A. Where there is a will, there is a way B. A friend in need is a friend indeed C. Good is rewarded with good. D. Two heads are better than one

    19．Mothers of kids with disabilities might be more forgetful，as they age than other mothers，according to a new study．And mothers with a strong support system，a sense of control and a  history of regular exercise kept sharper than the other mothers．However，fathers of disabled  children did not differ from fathers of non-disabled children in memory skills as they aged．
    That's not surprising，considering past research that has shown parents with disabled kids  tend to feel more stressed and to have more psychological problems like depression．In the study，parents were tested on memory and fluency，reasoning，working memory and ability to switch their attention．Physical health，physical activity，depression，sense of control，social support and negative parenting experience were also included．
    The mothers of disabled kids tended to be much more depressed，in worse physical health  and to feel they had less of a sense of control than mothers without disabled kids．For instance，18percent of mothers of disabled children reported having been depressed in the 12months prior to the study，compared with 7percent of mothers without disabled kids．Mothers of disabled children also had less support from friends than women without disabled children．Besides，among the women with disabled children，being more educated and having more social support were linked to significantly better memory ants thinking．
    Fathers with disabled kids had more negative parenting experiences than fathers whose kids were not disabled．The researchers did not have information about the severity（严重）of the    children's disabilities，their ages，or about any disabilities or other health problems among the    parents．They acknowledge in their report that because they only looked at one point in time，they cannot say whether parenting a disabled child caused the memory differences they observed．

    28．What is NOT included in the new study？B
    A．Memory and fluency．    
    B．Working experience．
    C．Social support．
    D．Physical health．
    29．What is true of mothers of disabled kids？B
    A．They have sharper minds．
    B．They easily have physical problems．
    C．They don't exercise at a11．
    D．They have no sense of control．
    30．What can you know about the new study？C
    A．It doesn't involve fathers．
    B．It is mainly on physical disabilities．
    C．It calls for further research．
    D．It is aimed to help the disabled kids．
    31．You can most possibly find the passage in a column（栏目）ofC．
    A．business  
    B．culture  
    C．science 
    D．1ife style．
