    What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

    Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

    1．What is the passage mainly about?

           A．The significance of working hard at school.

           B．The direct and indirect value of school work.

           C．How to face one’s weakness.

           D．Choosing a career according to one’s strong points.

    2．According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student ____________.

           A．can help afford one’s education

           B．is a good way to practice the skills learnt in school

           C．can help you to prepare for future work

           D．is a waste of time that could have been spent on study

    3．From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he _______.

           A．should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities

           B．will be regretful about his bad results

           C．may also do well in his future work

           D．should restart his study in school

    4．The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.

           A．be clumsy at doing things

           B．be skillful in doing things

           C．do not have interest in certain things

           D．be easily bored in doing things

    5．From the last paragraph we know one should _________.

           A．make full use of one’s own weak points

           B．study harder for a new school record

    We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this means your troubles are beginning. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, destroying your prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if these were not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

    Things can go wrong on-a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening, two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly went into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road’. Seeing a cake-flying through the air, a truck driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck and fell onto the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic to move again. In the meanwhile, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident; for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days.

    What does the writer mainly tell us?

    A. Troubles always happen at the same time.

    B. Everyone may have trouble every day.

    C. A small matter can cause great trouble.

    D. Only the lucky man won’t have any trouble every day.

    according to the passage, what should be the correct order?

    (1) The woman driver stopped her car suddenly.             ??

    (2) The driver’s wife dropped her cake on the road.

    (3) Only two dogs were happy.

    (4) Two cars hit each other.

    (5) The truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles.

    A. (2)(3)(3)(5)(1)  B. (4)(1)(2)(5)(3)

    C. (3)(5)(2)(4)(1)   D. (1)(4)(2)(3)(5)

    Which of the following is true?

    A. The woman’s husband brought three guests home to dinner unexpectedly.

    B. The meal got burnt.

    C. Her baby pulled the table-cloth off the table.

    D. It is not strange to experience such accidents.

    What does the word "these" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refer to?

    A. Your husband brings three guests to dinner unexpectedly.

    B. The meal gets burnt.

    C. The baby pulls the table-cloth off the table.

    D. Both B and C.

    Doctors in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.

    The cheerful Mr. Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump and happy. In 18th century paintings, beauty is equated （使…等同） with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

    So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England's chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.

    So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who think that running machines are boring, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people's lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms "are not making the nation fit", and may even cause harm.

    There's new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unsuitable exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely （oppositely） affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.

    So, should we forget about gyms and follow some expert's advice to reduce sedentary （久坐不动的） activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can't do any harm! One final thought. How come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today? 

    1.Mr.Pickwick and the paintings of the 18m century are used as examples to show that_____.

    A. beauty should be overweight

    B. a fat man is usually a cheerful character

    C. fatness was considered something good at one time

    D. fatness leads to an increased risk of disease

    2.According to Sir Liam Donaldson, we should_____.

    A. go on a diet                  B. do regular physical activity

    C. give up smoking                            D. go to the gym

    3.The underlined phrase cross trainers probably refers to _____.

    A. people who help you do exercise                   B. places where you can do exercise

    C. a kind of shoes                               D. a form of vehicles

    4.At present being overweight indicates _____.

    A. an increased risk of diseases                   B. a happier life

    C. a cheerful character                          D. a beauty

    5.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. how to keep fit and avoid fatness.          B. increased risks for overweight people.

    C. the dangers of exercise in the gym.                 D. the benefit of a balanced diet.
