    Endless sea, sand and sunshine on a tiny island--everyone' s idea of heaven. Who wouldn' t want to live in such a place.?
    One person who certainly does is Ben Southall, from the UK. The 34-year-old was one of more　than 34,000 people who applied for the post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Australia, which　the local government called "the best job in the world". The position starts in July and runs for six months. The salary is 150,000 Australian dollars(780,639 yuan).
    Why Southall? Well, first let's take a look at the criteria(标准) for the job: "We're looking for applicants who like to have adventures, have a great love of the outdoors and have good commu-nication skills. "
    On his application video, Southall expressed a love of adventure and included photographs of himself riding an ostrich(鸵鸟 ), running a marathon, diving, and kissing a giraffe. "From the time he was announced in the Top 50, and then the Top 16, Southall did a great job by showing true ex-citement about Queensland," Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said in a statement.
    "His ideas for how he will make the role his own.., as well as his ability to rise to a challenge impressed the judges and helped him to win his place in the top job," Lawlor said.
    Southall was born in Coventry, UK and used his parents' home as a base for his adventures. He had an old Land Rover that he used for a charity-fund-raising trek(跋涉) across Africa which in-volved joining in five marathons( a 42.16 km race) and climbing five mountains.
    "It was sometimes hard work to make him get his head down and do his work because he always wanted to be outside," his mother said about his early years.
    "He wanted to go surfing in South Africa, so he got a job house-sitting to pay for it. We regu-larly ask him when he is going to get a proper job, but he is confident and has a strong set of friends and is a great social animal. Now he has got the perfect job for his skills," said his father.
    So, you see? No matter what type of person you are, there's always the possibility of getting a dream job. How' s that? Just read the job descriptions carefully and think about how your skills and qualities fit with the ones needed for the job. That' s what Southall did to get his job.
    41. The post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island is said-to be the best job in the world mainly because of_____
    A. a beautiful landscape                          B. a short working time
    C. great pay for a fun job                          D. very good weather

    Researchers conducting a study of hospital stays for over two hundred and eighty six thousand older folks found something interesting in their data.

    The number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down significantly among a certain group of people at a certain time of year. What folks, and what time of year, you ask? Flu season and the lucky people were the ones who got flu shots(流感疫苗).

    It’s generally recommended that people over fifty get their flu shots every year. Influenza(流行性感冒) is no small thing. it’s responsible for around thirty six thousand deaths a year in the U. S. alone. Getting the shots also cuts down on the chances of get­ting pneumonia(肺炎), which is especially dangerous in seniors.

    But what wasn’t known was that there seems to be an added benefit to getting a flu shots in terms of warding off heart problems. The data,in fact, are quite strong in suggesting this is the case.

    In this study, flu shots cut clown the number of hospitalizations for heart disease by nineteen percent. Stroke went down sixteen percent one season and a whopping twenty-three percent a second season.These are big results.

    So what's the connection between getting a flu shot and having a stronger heart? It isn’t yet known.

    Researchers speculate that the flu virus itself may do damage to blood vessels(血管), possibly making clots(血块)more likely. Blood clots in the heart can cause heart attacks, and blood clots in the brain can cause strokes.

    Whatever the specific details are, there's one more good reason to follow your doctor’ s advice and get that annual flu shot.

    1.According to the study, the number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down significanntly among the ones who _____.

    A. got flu shots after they were ill?????????????

    B. got flu shots before they were ill

    D. got flu shots whenever convenient

    2.The benefits of getting flu shots can be listed except that_____.

    A. it can cut down on the chances of getting????????????? pneumonia

    B. it can cut down the number of hospitalizations for heart disease

    C. it can kill the flu virus

    D. if can make blood clots

    3.The underlined phrase "warding off" probably means_______.

    A. keeping away????????? ? ????????????? B. dealing with??? ???? C. setting off????????????? ? ????????? D.????????????? picking up

    4.According to the passage, we'd better ______.

    阅读理解。
         As I grew older, Dad was to build all sorts of things for me as I explored a variety of interests:
    magic tricks, a toy circus, neighborhood shows and science projects.
         From as early as I can remember to the time I left home for college, I continued to come to him
    with a design or an idea, and he would figure out how to build it. 
         In fifth grade, a schoolmate and I wrote a puppet(木偶) show that we wanted to perform for
    our class. I made the puppet heads myself, and I made the costumes and curtains with Mon-who
    was as expert designing and sewing with cloth as my father was designing and working with wood
    and metal. With Dad I made the puppet stage, in our own invented style between kid and adult
    with me saying something like, " It has to be this high, and it needs to come apart and fold up so it
    can fit in the backseat of the car, and it needs to set up fast, and it needs to have different colored
    lights on top with switches you can reach to control them and a curtain you can pull from under it,
    even if you still have a puppet on your hand." Dad figured out how to make it all work, making plans
    as we went along. Then with the tools in his shop he built it, and I helped.
         Dad also spent a lot of time out in the garage or in the driveway working on the family car. I don't
    remember that he ever took it to a professional auto-repair shop. Maybe to save money, but also
    because he could usually figure out what needed fixing, just by taking it apart and looking. Though
    not trained as an auto mechanic, he could look under the engine cover and take parts and pieces out,
    spread them on a tarp (油布) to catch the oil and figure out what was supposed to happen to the
    machine and then figure out what wasn't happening and then replace the worn-out part or whatever
    and then put everything back together again.
    1. If you are the writer, you are supposed to write about ________ahead of the first paragraph.
    A. father's achievement in mechanics     
    B. father's love and skills in mechanics
    C. father's experience at repairing cars    
    D. father's inventions in mechanics
    2. Who helped the writer to make the puppet?
    A. The writer himself.    
    B. His classmate.  
    C. His teacher.    
    D. His parents.
    3. Before the writer went to college, he always turned to his father for _____________.
    A. designing a machine                   
    B. building his design or idea
    C. making a puppet show                  
    D. building a show stage
    4. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A.T he writer's car is always breaking down. 
    B. Father works in a car repairing shop.
    C. Repairing in a shop can save much money. 
    D. Father was good at mending his car.
    5. The purpose of the writer's writing the passage is ______________.
    A. to tell how his father made a puppet for him
    B. in memory of his parents
    C. to describe to the readers his memories about his father
    D. to argue that parents should help children to explore the world and make inventions
