【题目】 I have been studying literature all the time, so someone asked me if l made the wrong choice by devoting myself to studying literature. I was deep in thought.
A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that.
Another friend turned his love of Hemingway’s writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don’t stay at one job for their entire career. I can’t tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in,and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life.
Colleges generally don’t clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities.Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don’t think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn’t feel sad to devote myself to studying literature.
【1】What does the underlined word “mollify” mean?
A.Express.B.Relieve.
C.Deepen.D.Realize.
【2】What does the author want to say by mentioning his friends?
A.Learning literature is good for one’s later careers.
B.Most people have a negative attitude towards literature.
C.His friends both disliked the career connected with literature.
D.College majors(主修课) have nothing to do with career choices.
【3】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A.Change your jobs frequently.B.Stay at one job for all your life.
C.Love whatever job you take up.D.Choose your job by your interest.
【4】From the passage, we can learn that the author _______________.
A.didn’t regret studying literature all the time
B.had a negative attitude towards literature learning
C.thought that love for literature held the key to career paths
D.thought that colleges should design career paths for students

【题目】A recent study surveyed 5,000 British families about their experiences with volunteering and their mental health. Participants completed the same survey every two years from 1996 to 2008.
About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores. The two were linked so directly that the more a person volunteered, the happier they were.
One could argue a chicken-and-egg theory: happier people are more likely to have the time, money, energy and resources to give back to others. But even when researchers adjusted for education, social class and total health, the link was there, suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.
According to Dr. Stephen G. Post, author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping, when you help others, your brain releases feel-good chemicals, which can help cells repair themselves and grow. And this translates to better health.
So volunteering can help improve both your physical and mental health—on one condition. You have to mean it. People who volunteered for "self-oriental" reasons, either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives, had a mortality(死亡率)risk that was similar to those who didn't volunteer at all. It was only when people were volunteering out of a true sense of sympathy that they saw any health benefits.
So whether it's arranging books at the library or walking dogs at the animal shelter, find a cause that's important to you and give it a try. Volunteering is a good way to develop a sense of connection that not only helps your community, but may also be good for you.
【1】Who are healthier according to the study?
A. people who are happier.
B. people who are good at taking exams.
C. people that work as volunteers regularly.
D. people that make a large amount of money.
【2】Why does the author mention the chicken-and-egg theory?
A. To introduce a world-famous theory.
B. To point out that volunteering came first.
C. To prove happy ones would like to help others.
D. To tell us that the cause and the effect are mixed.
【3】What may be one of the "self-oriented" reasons?
A. You try your best to solve others' problems.
B. You are filled with pity for the foster kids.
C. You have the duty to look after the old.
D. You're always willing to help others.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. A chicken-and-egg theory.
B. Happiness has a lot to do with health.
C. A sense of connection is important to us.
D. Volunteering willingly is good for health.

What are the British like when it comes to learning languages? According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are【1】(office) the worst language learners in Europe —62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from【2】(they) own.
Learning a foreign language is not a popular option at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language【3】 11 and many give up completely several years later. So why don’t young people continue with languages at school? A research suggests that students think it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects, such as science or history. The government is now looking at different ways【4】(improve) language learning. One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. 【5】 idea is to give school children more【6】 (choose) and expand the range of languages【7】(teach) to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.
Mandarin Chinese is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils 【8】(equip) for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is【9】China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.” It may be an ambitious task to change the Brits’ attitude to 【10】(learn) languages but the government is determined to try.
