During the summer vacation I think I should do something meaningfully instead of touring. So I got a job at a fast food restaurant and worked there for a cleaner. I worked 7 hours a day for three weeks. The job was bored and seemed endless, that made me too tired that I nearly stopped it half way. After all, I stuck it with determination. Every day I started off for work early in the morning and got to home late in the evening. Finally, I finished a job before the new school term. Now, I understand that labor means. I think it is really       a successful experience, which was worth remembering for ever.

The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep up guessing right up to the end. In actual fact, people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.

The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper: “An opportunity to earn $ 250 in a few minutes. A man… willing to chances, wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once. ”A reader found this offer very nice and write to the advertiser. But being a bit suspicious（怀疑）, he gave a false name. Soon afterwards, he received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested. He did so and learned on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him “to get rid of somebody” and would discuss it more fully with him the next day. But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions.

The police saw the two men meet and watched them as they drove away together. In the car the advertiser came to the point at once; he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife. The reason he gave was that he was suffering from a serious disease and wanted to live in a warmer country, but his wife objected to this. Giving the man some money, the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog, though it would not bite, it might attract attention. He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her.

After that, the advertiser suggested that the man should “do the job” the next morning. At the same time he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call.

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard（柜厨）outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?”

I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”

He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”

My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

Career building is an ongoing activity. Planning and goal setting are part of career building, but so is adjusting and taking advantage of things that happen in an unplanned way. Our dreams and desires, as well as the opportunities open to us, are changing all the time. Sometimes, they can change dramatically over a short period of time.

Dealing with change often requires taking your career in a different direction. Therefore, most people’s career paths wind up looking more like a forest path or the course of a river than a straight flight path from point A to Point B. Career paths tend to meander. Just as a river must take an indirect path to get round hills and other obstacles（障碍）, we often have to do a little meandering to get round barries. We also meander simply to explore various career posibilities.

This doesn’t mean that you should wander aimlessly for the rest of your life! It doesn’t mean that, although career building gives you an overall sense of direction, it is responsible to expect that you’ll have to take some meandering along the way.

Career building involves maneuvering as well as meandering. To maneuver is to be focused and strategic（策略的）, to decide what you want and how you are going to get there. Believe it or not, you can maneuver and meander at the same time. In fact, you have probably already done so. For example, if you have ever sent in an application form for an education program or job before you are really sure you want your application to be accepted, you have taken action on a plan while you are still exploring other posibilities. In other words, you are maneuvering and meandering at the same time.

45. This passage is mainly to ______________.

A. tell you how to gain more control over your life

B. give you a better understanding of yourself

C. show you how to take an active role in planning your career

D. help you to deal with things that happen in an unplanned way

46. The underlined word “meaander” in paragraph 2 most probably means ________.

A. move away           B. go round                  C. get through        D. run over

47. What can we learn from the passage?

A. There are seldom straight lines in the course of career building.

B. Career path is like a flight path from point A to point B.

C. Most of our dreams and desires change in a short time.

D. More than half of us have to change our career directions.

48. When you are hunting for a job, you are supposed to _________.

A. take your career in different directions

B. avoid exploring various career posibilities

C. change your dreams and desires now and then

D. know your goal and try all possible ways to achieve it

Of all man’s natural enemies, the one that has caused him more trouble than any other must be the common rat. For centuries, man has been  21  to solve the problem of rats. The ancient Egyptians were probably the first people to try to  22  them with poison, and this method is still being used today. This says a great deal about how  23  this method has been. We have set innumerable  24  , from simple wires to  25  machines that drowned the rats in beer! We have tried to inflect them with  26  developed germs. We’ve  27 tried to raise super cats to kill them. However, we are still losing the  28  .

So why can’t man manage to  29  a mere animal like the rat? The answer is simply that the rat isn’t a mere animal; It is a very special kind of animal. An average rat  30  : wriggle through a hole no  31  than a $1 coin; climb a brick wall as if it were climbing steps; happily leave a building by being flushed down the toilet, and then return the same  32  ; jump from a fifth storey window and run away  33  ; and last but certainly not least ,  34  so rapidly that a single pair could have 15,000 babies in one year!

35  all these phyical qualities, we also have the  36  that rats are rather good at not getting caught. They seem to have an almost supernatural ability to  37  when food has been poisoned and a suspicious rat will starve  38  it eats poisoned food. They also seem to be able to  39  a trap with no real difficulty.

One thing looks certain, we had better find a way to  40  these small brown creatures soon, or it may be too late.
