A

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor; I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance，attitude and manners.

A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.

When you introduce yourself，make eyes contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't.

Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The ways you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show feeling on your face are all parts of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positive about yourself？Your abilities？Your interest in the job?

Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak，look at the interviewer. Also don't say negative things abou t yourself，or former employers.

Listen to questions carefully. If you don't understand a question，ask the interviewer to repeat or explain. You can say，“I'm sorry，but I didn't catch that”

- 2 -

or “I'm not sure exactly what you mean.”

Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.

At the end of the interview，you'd better thank the interviewer. It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview，or deliver it by hand.

Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.

5. It can be inferred from the passage that__________.

A. the first impression is very important in an interview

B. you should stand still with respect before the employer

Honesty comes in many forms. First there's self honesty. I find that if I try to be something I'm not, I feel un sure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love ho w singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本)of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody

- 3 -

else.”

Then there's honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents，and with your boss? If you've ever been dishonest, I think we all have，try being honest, and notice how it makes you feel. Remember, you can't do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that：

In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn't do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I'd write on a little piece of paper all the right answers，and hand them off.

At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn't thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn't do that anymore，because I wasn't really helping them. They weren't learning anything and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn't helping me.

It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.

9. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland's words?

A. Don't learn from others unless they're excellent.

B. Don't copy others or you can't be the first class.

C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.

D. Be your true self rather than follow others.

10. What does the author expect to show by Jeff's story?

A. Honesty comes in many forms.

B. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.

C. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.

D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.

11. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Honesty in one's actions can help him in the future.

B. It's difficult to be honest when others are not.

C. One should be honest when making a deposit.

D. One must be brave to be honest.

D

In middle childhood, pressures may come from a number of sources—from within the child herself, as well as from parents, teachers, peers and the larger society

- 4 -

in which the child lives. Pressure can take many forms that challenge children and to which they must respond and, often, adapt. Whether these are events of lasting consequences like the divorce of their parents, or merely a minor quarrel like losing their homework, these demands or stresses are a part of children's daily existence.

Children welcome some events and are able to adapt to them with relative ease. They see other events as threats to their own or the family's daily routines or general sense of well-being, and these stresses are more troublesome. Most stresses faced by children are in the middle, neither welcomed nor seriously harmful, but rather a part of accomplishing the tasks of childhood and learning about themselves.

Youngsters may also worry about making friends, succeeding in school, fighting peer pressure or overcoming a physical harm. Whatever its form, if stress is too intense or long-lasting, it can sometimes cause a heavy influ ence on children. Series of stressful events seem to cause children to get ill. Major events, especially those that forever change a child's family, like the death of a parent, can have lasting effects on children's psychological health and well-being. Minor daily stresses can also have consequences. They can contribute to loss of sleep or appetite. Children may become angry or ill-tempered or their school grades may suffer. Their behavior and their willingness to cooperate may change.

12. We know from the passage that children's pressure does NOT come from________.

A. themselves

B. parents

C. the society

D. the activities

13. The writer thinks that the divorce of a child's parents________.

A. is a small problem

B. has long consequences

C. affects children's homework

D. has no influence on children

14. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that stresses are________.

A. a part of a child's growth

B. Seriously harmful

C. all troublesome

D. Welcomed by children

15. Which kind of stresses can affect children's health and well-being?

A. Minor daily stresses.

B. Making friends.

C. Major events like death of parent.

D. Fighting peer pressure.
