     It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.
That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept.
Could this be true ? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
     Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for
sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he
made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never
saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
     The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.
The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that
might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several
days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died
at the age of 94.

1. The main idea of this passage is that _______.

A. a person was found who actually didn't need any sleep

3. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin _______.

A. was too old to need any sleep

     It is well-known that many people look for a new job through newspaper advertisements and the
Internet, which are great ways. However, job fairs (招聘会) may open up more doors for you and allow
you to build a sound future career(事业).
     A job fair allows many companies from your area, as well as other areas to gather together to recruit
suitable people to help the development of their business. These companies typically attend the job fairs
to accept new people into their team.
     Take Cumberland in Maryland as an example, the job fair is held at the Holiday Inn's large
meetingroom, which is next to the main hall. Dates change but the event lasts from 8 am until 6 pm throughout the whole week. The job fair is usually held several times every year; dates can be found in the
Cumberland Times News or on the newspaper's website. Also, information about the companies that will be attending, is offered, along with these companies' web addresses for you, so that you can make more
preparations based on the needs of the companies you are interested in.
     You must know that you can't show all of your talents, skills and abilities on a resume (简历) alone, so
it's important to leave a good and lasting impression in employers' minds in a very short time. So you must make sure that you have given your best to the employers. Get a handshake with all of the employers you
speak to and, introduce yourself clearly enough so that they will remember you in case you get an interview in the near future. Seldom, people are employed on these job fairs for the qualifications (资格证书) they
show.
     You should take with you at least 20 copies of your resume. Prepare a notebook and a pen to write
down what is told you by the employers. This shows your interest and willingness to learn.

1. In the author's opinion , .

A. people don't realize the advantages of attending job fairs
B. job fairs provide more chances than other ways
C. the companies that attend job fairs all come from an area
D. the more resumes people bring, the better jobs they will find

2. What does the underlined word "recruit" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Get someone as a new member.
B. Give somebody some information
C. Put forward some new opinions.
D. Attend an important meeting.

3. The companies' web addresses are provided to .

A. make people send their resumes online
B. help people know more about the companies.
C. make people get the tickets for the job fairs
D. make the companies known by more people

4. What should be paid attention to when you're in the job fair?

A. Make friends with the employers.
B. Showing the willingness to learn to the employers.
C. Performing your best to the employers.
D. Showing your qualifications to the employers.

5. What can be learned from the passage?

D. Qualifications are not very important in job fairs

阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答1-5小题。

     [1]There are many different types of volunteer (志愿者) options (选择) for teens, and you will no
doubt find more than this article can possibly list. But here are a few ideas to get you started on the path
to being a successful volunteer.
     [2] Red Cross programs and many blood banks (血库) need teen volunteers. In fact the Red Cross
has an entire Junior Red Cross that is devoted to offering volunteers jobs to teens. You will have the
chance to  help others directly and do various jobs.
     [3] Parks and recreation (休闲,消遣) centers often run camps that are mostly worked by teens. If
you enjoy working with children and you' re considering a career in teaching, look up day camps that
offer these volunteer options to teens. Teens may volunteer for a year or two and then qualify for paid
position as instructors.
     [4] Libraries are always in need of extra hands, especially during summer when more children are at
the library. Volunteers can shelve books, read stories to children, help supervise (管理) sections of a
library, or learn how to check out books for people. If you have ______, you can provide extra help
by working with people to surf the Internet on library computers.
     [5] Animal shelters give teens a chance to have direct contact with animals. You may have to do
some clean-up work for animals, but you also have a chance to decide whether a career working with
them is right for you.
     [6]Lastly, teens who want to volunteer but don't have much time to spend on volunteer activities can
look for one-time activities that can also help. For example, you can volunteer to work at your school or
church's festival or yard sale, which may take up a few hours of one day but won't require a commitment
beyond that.

1. What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words))
____________________________________    _______________________

1. ____
     Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you.
That's Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the
inside-kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control. So please give smiles away
like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile.
Then let people see that your smile doesn't stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart. On the
other hand, we are drawn to people who smile and we want to know a smiling person and figure out
what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away-but a smile draws them in.
2. _____
     Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change
for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you to have a good feeling. So smile is a good state
of mind, you have a smile, then you will have a better feelings. So when you are smiling you lighten up the
room, change the moods of others, and make things happier.
3. _____
     The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just
try smiling your way through the day-you'll look younger. Then you will feel better and have more
confident, thus are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at
meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently because of your confidence.
4. _____
     Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down,
and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. This is because when you smile,
there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. You can sit for a few minutes, take a reading.
Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. You will be happy to see your stress
disappears quickly.
5. _____
     Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is
sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by
smiling. So smile is a positive state of mind, every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift
to that person, a beautiful thing and then other people will also answer your smile.

     For Chinese students the end of their senior year is filled with studying and stress as they prepare for
the college entrance exams in June. But for American high school seniors the experience couldn't be more different. The end of senior year is a celebration of their time in high school and involves parties, games
and fun.
     Senioritis is a commonly used expression. It means seniors have a disease which makes them unable
to do work. This starts in April when seniors find out where they have been accepted to university.
     Unwilling to do school work, seniors have plenty of other activities to focus on. Many schools have
a "Senior Show", in which only seniors are allowed to perform. Some seniors sing or dance but many of
them perform skits (滑稽短剧), where they make fun of their favorite teachers or their friends. For
example, a group of boys may dress up and imitate a group of their girl friends. It is all very light-hearted.
     The "Senior Show" is usually a part of Senior Week, which is a week specifically dedicated (专用的)
to seniors. During this week, seniors usually get academic or athletic awards they have won over their
high school careers. The seniors also vote for one of their male and female classmates who they believe is
the best-looking or funniest or most involved, etc. These are then published in the yearbook.
     The yearbook is an important part of high school for seniors. It is usually dedicated to them and has all
their pictures and a quote from them in it. Then seniors go around and get it signed by their friends so they can always remember their time together.
     Of course during all of this time, seniors are preparing for the Senior Prom, which is an important
moment in American culture. It is the most important dance in a young American's life.
    The end of senior year is a truly special and wonderful time for American students. It's something they
will remember for the rest of their lives.

1. Many American high school seniors will do all of the following EXCEPT________.

A. prepare for the college entrance exam
B. perform in the "Senior Show"
C. go around and get their yearbook signed
D. prepare for the Senior Prom

2. American high school seniors suffer from "senioritis" because_______.

A. it is a common disease
B. they have already been accepted to university
C. they value friendship more than school work
D. they are too lazy to do school work

3. All of the following can be found in the yearbook EXCEPT ________.

A. the name of the best-looking female student
B. the picture and quote from each senior
C. the name of school they will enter
D. some of their friends' signatures

4. Which of the following words can best describe the end of senior year for American students?

     Most of us lead a busy life.   1 We think, "If I reached my goal, then I would be happy", or "If I
could get a better job, then I would enjoy life." But why not enjoy life right now?
     Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings.   2 "There is a great
big world of wonder and beauty around us!" And as Brodersen explains, "Look for the beauty of the
sunrise and of a friend's smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not
normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up."
     Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease
your stress. Take me for example.   3 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
     Thirdly, don't take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the
enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them?   4  As Wayne Lawton explains, "Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what's in it for me? Happiness is found in
putting other's interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a
dead-end street."   5
A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
C. Driven by the "urgent", we forget to enjoy life.
D. So please treasure relationship.
E. You don't need to travel far to find beauty.
F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.
