We have a strange and strong belief in the idea of perfection. Driven by our culture, we struggle for an unattainable ideal: If I have the perfect parents, perfect grades, perfect…, then I would be happy. We seek what we can’t have without remembering that we don’t actually need to be perfect. Imperfection allows us to be human.
Parents, teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive. However, what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some form of cancer by the age of 18? Although these grades would be admirable achievements, are they worth losing sleep over? We feel like we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the perfect education necessary to obtain the perfect job. Making use of our thirst for perfection, the whole college and career industries have emerged claiming to help us reach our goals.
Truth is, you only need to be good enough to get into the conversation. It is what you do afterwards that sets you apart. Focus more on your passions. Don’t worry about anything secondary to your passions. You don’t become an expert at anything if you spent your time trying to succeed in everything you do. You only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy.
As members of this society, we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do, not perfect. Although perfection can be a goal, it should not be the only goal. We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week. Thus, we need to plan what we want to do and cut out the activities we cannot do.
With everything, though, make sure you’re doing enough. Pursuing your passions is not enough of a reason to completely give up on everything else. Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself. Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams. Most of all, remember that you’re going to be okay.
1.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that there is a culture where ________.
A. Students are driven to learn concepts

C. imperfect people aren’t happy at all
D. perfect grades result from remembering facts
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.
A. a perfect grade is worth losing sleep over
B. the whole college and career industries are perfect
C. some schools ask students to invent some medicine
D. someone is profiting from our search for perfection
3.According to the author, we should ________.
A. see becoming perfect as our responsibility
B. deal with what we hope to do first
C. set a goal of perfection in our life
D. worry about our future dreams

D
Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do — especially in tight job market.
Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate (淘汰) themselves,” he says. “Resumes (简历) arrive with faults. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I refuse the candidates,” Crossley concludes,” If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely not.
Perfectionists(完美主义者) struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,” says Charles Garfield, the professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working will influence the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else.”
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,” says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.
1.According to the passage, some job applicants were refused because they are ________.
A. too limitedly educated to write a perfect resume
B. so careless that they make some spelling mistakes in their resume
C. so careless that they forget the company’s name
D. too foolish to spell the company’s name correctly
2.From the passage, we can infer that a perfectionist will _________.
A. change their goals as the situations change
B. lose their jobs by paying too much attention to details
C. pay attention to details as much as to their major goals
D. pay attention to details more than their major goals
3.Garfield makes his opinion believable by _________.
A. giving ideas of experts
B. offering examples of resumes
C. providing an example of his work.
D. showing the results of experiments
4.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
I: Introduction P:Point Sp: Sub-point （次要点）C: Conclusion

Phone Soap: Charge and Clean Your Phone
You may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli.
The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of Phone Soap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation (辐射) used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.
“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the Phone Soap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.”
Phone Soap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the Phone Soap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”
The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Phone Soap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling Phone Soap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.”
1.We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
A. phones can be very dirty
B. phones are where bacteria are born
C. most phones are attacked by bacteria
D. phones store more bacteria in a restroom
2.According to the passage, Phone Soap ______.
A. takes a whole night to kill bacteria
B. deals with bacteria with radiation
C. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap
D. has to be plugged into the wall to work
3. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
A. Phone Soap is in great demand now
B. Phone Soap is really hard to handle
C. they can’t produce enough Phone Soap
D. they’ll make improvements to Phone Soap
4.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Methods of cleaning phones.
B. Tips on charging phones quickly.
C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones.
D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean.

Spending time with your kids is the best way to give them you attention. No matter whether you stay at home or work outside the home, you can still give quality time to your kids. Quality time doesn’t mean the whole family sitting for four hours watching TV. It means turning the TV off and playing games together, reading books, going for walks---anything!
Giving kids your attention means listening to them when they talk. I don’t mean half-way listening and saying “uh huh” like we do to our spouses (配偶) when they’re talking about their day at work. I mean sitting down, looking children in the eye, and listening. Ask questions. Be interested. It shows that you’re paying attention, even if your question is just, “So you say you painted the cat blue?”
Raising kids is not the time to be selfish with your time. You can be selfish later on when they’re grown and having kids of their own. If you feel guilty about not being able to spend enough time with your kids, resist trying to buy their attention. You don’t have to make every weekend a Disneyland day. And you don’t have to continually buy them gifts as a means of letting them know you love them. The answer is “time”. Time is what they want most from you.
Your kids, no matter what age, are on some type of schedule. They get up, eat breakfast, eat lunch, eat dinner, etc. What do they do the rest of the time? Fill up some of the empty spots in their schedules with activities. Have them help you do something around the house or make them take part in a project with you. This is how day care workers are able to keep so many kids under control---they fill up the day with activities.
1.According to the author, spending quality time with kids means .
A. watching TV with them
B. staying with them as long as possible
C. doing meaningful things together with them
D. giving up jobs to stay with them
