1.The world is filled with smart,talented,educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5percent of Americans earn more than 100,000ayear.Abusinessconsultantwhospecializesinthemedicaltradewastellingmehowmanydoctorsanddentistsstrugglefinancially.Itwasthisbusinessconsultantwhogavemethephrase,"Theyareoneskillawayfromgreatwealth."Thereisanoldsayingthatgoes,"Jobmeans"justoverbroke(破产And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,most workers"live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.
     When I ask the classes I teach,"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?"almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald's makes more money than you?"The answer is obvious:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

8.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.
How to be more creative every day
Creativity isn't something you either have or don't have.In fact,it is something like playing the saxophone.(36)E So read on to know how.
?Be more curious.
It's important to seek out new viewpoints every day.(37)F To involve this in your daily life,make sure to keep an open mind when you're presented with an idea,and be curious as to what else is around the comer.
?Give yourself space.
Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative.Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life.(38)C It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions (分心的事物),leaving much room to have creative ideas.
?Try something new.
Frequent thinking patterns,in effect,cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone.(39)G Though not always easy,it does open up a whole new world of thinking!
?(40)B
Social media has created an environment where we're constantly shown whether we've succeeded in the form of likes or comments,which leads us to doubt ourselves.However,creativity is a journey,and you're learning every step of the way.Honestly,you'11learn much more from that than a straight win anyway.So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.

A.Learn from failure.
B.Remind yourself you're good enough.
C.The 8 p.m.-8 a.m.phone ban is a great way to begin.
D.Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.
E.But it's not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.
F.Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.
G.Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.

5.Are you a team player?
    We hear a lot about team building these days.Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other.And they organize awaydays(息工日)-a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace.
    Here in the UK,employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking'dead people'.For the brainier office workers amongst us there are crime investigations modelled on popular TV dramas like Sherlock Holmes and CSI.
Stressed-out city workers might have ukulele lessons made available to them.Why is that a good team-building exercise?Ukulele teacher Lorraine Bow says:"The fact that they can play a musical instrument within an hour is quite a fulfilling thing,really.It's not competitive-it's quite easy to do and a bit less intimidating than a guitar…"
    Actually,a horse might be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.The animals are used by a company in Abu Dhabi which teaches leadership through horse training.Basically,you have to go in a yard with a horse and persuade it that you're the boss by using body language.
    Kelly Eide,co-founder of True Leadership,says:"The horses don't care if your hair is purple,if you're a man or a woman,if you're old or young…It transcends all of those cultural boundaries-age,gender,religion,tradition etc.-so that's a perfect fit.And in an organization where you really need groups of people togel,who come from backgrounds which have no common norms,you can teach that most efficiently with a horse."
     And the horse feels instinctively whether or not you are a natural leader.So if after you've done a good presentation your boss offers you a carrot,you'll know where he might have learnt it from.

24.What are awaydays for?B
A.To gather employees to join a meeting on how to work more effectively with each other.
B.To building team spirit among people who work for the same company.
C.To criticize employer who have not satisfied outstanding achievement.
D.To teach people how to make term more united.
25.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.The one in which you learn to'kill'Zombies is more physically demanding.
B.Ukulele lessons are designed for people who are highly intelligent.
C.Stressed-out city workers both have ukulele lessons made available to them.
D.A horse must be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.
26.How long does it take for you to learn how to play the ukulele?A
A.One hour             B.Two-hour      C.15minutes      D.half hour
27.We can infer that the word"gel"(Line 4,Para5)refers toC.
A.invitation             B.recreate        C.cooperate       D.help.
