    The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday’s job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students．The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better．

    Women, as all research suggests, are far more critical of their appearance than men. Most of them are likely to feel dissatisfied with their reflection in the mirror.
    It is quite possible that men looking in the mirror are either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women---if anything, they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness. Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.
    Why are women so much more self-critical than men? Because women are judged more on their appearance than men, and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more inflexible. Women are continually bombarded (轰炸) with images of the “ideal” face. And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV, magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly.  It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence.
    Also, most women trying to achieve the impossible standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century. In 1917, the physically perfect woman was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 10 stone. Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average women, now they weigh 23% less. The current media ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population---and that’s just in terms of weight and size. If you want the ideal shape, face etc., it’s probably more like 1%.
    小题1:The passage is mainly to _____________.
    A．compare different views on beauty between women and men
    B．tell us that standards of female beauty are very high
    C．explain why women are more critical of their appearance than men
    D．show us that women pay more attention to their appearance than men
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT the reason why women are more critical of their appearance?
    A．People pay more attention to their appearance than men’s.
    B．The criterion (标准；准则) used to judge women’s beauty is more critical and less changeable.
    C．Idealized images of female beauty are constantly shown in different media.
    D．Women tend to pursue perfection by nature.
    小题3:Which statement is true about men?
    A．Few men will feel pleased when they are looking themselves in the mirror.
    B．Men looking in the mirror usually ignore the flaws in their appearance.
    C．It is likely that men will consider themselves more attractive than they really are.
    D．Men don’t care about their body image.
    小题4:Nowadays, if an average woman weighs 110 pounds, then a physically perfect woman should weigh about _________.
    A．85 poundsB．101 poundsC．90 poundsD．135 pounds
    小题5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．Most women try to achieve the standards of beauty.
    B．The standards of female beauty. in the past were more easily achieved than today.
    C．Women are more unrealistic in their pursuit of beauty than men.

    A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolutions: we stopped talking to one another.
    I was walking in the park with a friend recently，and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.   
    The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another, With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
    As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person my more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
    I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to use. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.  
    More and more .I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk, The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier…or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts．
    So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging. with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.
    小题1:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

    小题2:The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent，”means that       .
    A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone call
    B．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you
    C．modem technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk
    D．people can now go to work without going to the office
    小题3:The writer feels that the use of modern communications is        ．
    A．encouragingB．disappointingC．satisfyingD．embarrassing

    Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel it very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women? For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.?
    Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development—and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. can all be very expensive.?  
    Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.?
    小题1:This article is most probably taken from________.?
    A．a letter
    B．an advertisement?
    C．a personal diary
    D．a newspaper article?
    小题2:According to the passage, parents whose children show a special interest in a sport _______.
    A．feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sports men or women
    B．try to get financial（财务的）support from the government for their children’s training
    C．have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods?
    D．prefer their children to be trained as young as possible
    小题3:The underlined phrase“to take a second place”means_________.?
    A．to repeat the activities at some other place?
    B．to become less important?
    C．all things considered, they are of poor quality?

    Carnival(狂欢节) does not take place only in Louisiana. There are many celebrations around the world.
    In Brazil, the celebration is supposed to go on from the Saturday before Mardi Gras (大斋节前的最后一天)to Mardi Gras Day, but in some Brazilian cities the celebration can last seven or eight days. Just like New Orleans, not many important things are decided in Brazil from New Year's Day to Mardi Gras Day because everyone is preparing for or celebrating carnival. Most Brazilian parades have a subject, which could be political or historical. The parades had to have a subject related to Brazil until 1996. Some cities in Brazil do not have a street carnival, but they might have an indoor party.
    Bolivia has carnival parades for children and then more parades for adults. The children dress up in costumes and march in the streets. The adults make traditional dance groups and dance in the streets. But the main part of Bolivia's carnival is getting wet. Almost everyone gets wet from water balloons and water buckets. In Oruru, Bolivia, their carnival is held in the last ten days of the carnival season. People there join in dancing, but their main carnival event is a ceremonial parade that lasts for twenty hours and parades for four kilometers. Over 20,000 dancers are involved as well as 10,000 musicians. This parade attracts at least 400,000 people.
    The carnival in Venice, Italy is often regarded as the most carefully prepared carnival and lasts ten days before Lent (大斋节). Many events are held in the canals including shows, concerts, dances and water processions(队列). The official ending to the celebration is the party held in St. Mark's Square.

    Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
    Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt（尝试）to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
    It is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
    小题1:What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?
    A．Love.B．Politeness.C．Joy. D．Thankfulness.
    小题2:The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .
    A．show friendliness to strangersB．be used to hide true feelings
    C．be used in the wrong placesD．show personal habits
    小题3:What should we do before attempting to “read” people?
    A．Learn about their relations with others.
    B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.
    C．Find out about their past experience.
    D．Figure out what they will do next.
    小题4:What would be the best title for the test?
    A．Cultural Differences B．Smiles and Relationship
    C．Facial ExpressivenessD．Habits and Emotions

    If you haven’t seen or heard anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you’ve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.
    While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 4,1907 people died on the highway last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behaviour.
    Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have certain theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of the cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space.; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, street levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
    You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!
    Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are susceptible (easily influenced) to Road Rage, the key to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.
    小题1:The first sentence in Para 1 implies that__________.
    A．one may be angered by media reports and wants to avoid them.
    B．the media coined the term “Road Rage” only a few months ago.
    C．Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months.
    D．people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings
    小题2:The underlined “spell” in Para3 means___________.
    A．relieveB．causeC．spreadD．prevent
    小题3:Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?
    A．Talking while driving.
    B．Driving at high speed.
    C．Sounding the horn when passing.
    D．Shouting at another driver.
    小题4:The last paragraph is intended to ___________.
    A．tell people how to deal with Road Rage.
    B．inform people how aggressive drivers could be.
    C．show people how to control themselves when angry.
    D．warn people against eye contact with another driver

    It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
    How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
    Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
    Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them.
