One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.
This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.
1.The moment the author found the car missing, he thought ______.
A. it was stolen by a stranger B. it was towed by the police
C. he placed it in a wrong place D. he should rent another one
2.We can infer that DMV is ______.
A. an office for license B. a towing place
C. a renting place D. a parking lot
3.Why did the author put some chocolates on his colleagues’ desks?
A. His colleagues were fond of chocolates.
B. He wanted to thank his colleagues.
C. He was touched and hoped to cheer others.
D. He wanted to do his colleagues a favor.
4.The author writes about his experience ______.
A. to criticize the person stealing his cars
B. to praise the rental place at Enterprise
C. to tell us a surprising but moving story
D. to encourage people to do acts of kindness

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage．
Job interviews can generally be divided into three types．
The first is what I would call the traditional interview．This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations．So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like what duties did you have in your previous job．This is still the model for a lot of interviews today．In my view it's not the best to select staff．
Then there is the case interview．Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem．It might go something like this, ‘A company wants to hire more graduates without spending more than its current budget．What would you advise them to do? ’This can be particularly challenging, for you need to analyze the problem and solve it．
The third type is known as the behavioral interview．The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past．A typical question might be ‘Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to follow orders that you didn't agree with? ’ This opens up a lot of information and the interviewer gets to see more of the candidate．
Questions：
14．What kind of questions are usually asked in the traditional interview?
15．What does the case interview focus on about the candidate?
16．What does the speaker mainly talk about?

B．Skills in asking interview questions．
C．Changes in three interview models．
D．Suggestions for different job interviews．

There is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and that individual’s attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning assignment, one path toward success is to seek out and concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has boring and ineffective teacher in a required course, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the instructor happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.
Over-achievers---those students who do better than their test scores indicate ---- usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and it may take more effort, but, to compensate, they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not stress themselves into emotional problems, they are successful.
Under-achievers--- those who function below their ability indicated by test scores ---- often tend to permit a few negative factors to sidetrack them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.
If you learn to replace a negative mind---set toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving virtually any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that you cannot learn to operate a computer you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.
1. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in ____________.
A. their test scores B. their judgment of the teachers
C. their attitudes toward learning D. their skills in using computers
2. What does the author suggest if a student has a boring teacher?
A. To be critical of the teacher.
B. To read more on one’s own.
C. To have a right attitude toward the teacher.
D. To complete the course without the teacher.
3. The phrase function below their ability indicated by test scores ( in Para.3) means the under-achievers ________.
A. often get low scores in tests
B. do worse in actual learning than in the tests.
C. usually do better in tests than the over-achievers
D. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Attitudes play very important roles in learning.
B. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.
C. Students should learn how to use personal computers.
D. There are many differenced between over- and under- achievers
One of the most common complaints I hear from families is that they are not close. They may be close in proximity, but still not feel close as a 1_. They may live next door or in the same house, but not feel 2 .
Closeness is about 3 . We feel close when we feel 4 , when we feel loved and when we simply enjoy being together. We may live far apart and still feel close, or we may 5 a home yet feel distant.
Closeness is a family trait that 6 over time. It is planted by love, watered by honest sharing and fed by true listening. It grows slowly and sometimes 7 years to mature; but it’s roots grow deep. It can 8 most storm and sustain a family through the most 9 time.
I received a letter from a reader in Hawaii. She 10 out that the CEO of one of the island’s largest banks was 11 a run for governor. Since he was well—liked, he seemed to have a good
12 of winning.
But before filing papers, he 13 his mind, stating that he wanted to spend more time with his 14. Not that elected officials cannot be family—oriented, but he felt he needed more time at home than the job 15 .
Ronald A Young, in the Honolulu Advertiser, said this about the candidate’s decision: “No matter what you 16 in the business world or the social world, if you fail the family, then you have not accomplished much. Failure or success does not 17 in the material wealth you provide them. It is 18 by what of yourself you give to them.”
He made a 19 to give the best of himself to his family. He 20 family closeness first, despite pressure to put more time elsewhere. It’s likely a decision he’ll never regret.
