Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. I used to hate waiting in line, thinking of it as a big waste of time and a test on my patience, 【1】 after living in Israel for three years, I have changed my attitude toward it. Probably because the country is not very big, with limited resources, 【2】 you’re at the bank, the post office or the bus stop, you’ll always find a straight line of people waiting. But instead of worrying or hurrying some are drinking hot coffee; 【3】 are chatting to each other, even though a minute ago they were just strangers. 【4】 seemed to me that they were enjoying queuing and taking the chance to relax. Gradually I came to realize that 【5】 (obey) rules, which can be clearly seen in queuing up, is an important part of their culture. Once I saw a young foreigner trying to jump the queue and be shouted at by an old Israeli man, with others joining in. The poor guy was so ashamed 【6】 he slipped away as fast as he could. But don’t think Israeli people are cruel. If you have to leave for a short time, 【7】 the person behind you agrees, you can always come back and stand in front of him or her. However, if you miss him or her, you’ll have to start over. If you wait next to the basketball court or tennis court for more than five minutes, someone on the court will definitely offer 【8】(exchange) places with you. This has become part of the culture in Israel. Their culture 【9】 (reflect) Israelis’ belief in equal opportunities, which may have played a role in helping Israel to stay on its feet in the world even after the cruel Holocaust. Compared 【10】 Israel, our way of queuing up is much more casual. People always go out of their way to get the “privilege” of a shorter wait. |

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. I have some good news and some bad news. First, the bad news: Just 【1】 (have) good grades may not be sufficient to get you your high school diploma. That's because, as of last year, students are required to complete 90 days of practical training and 60 hours of volunteering in order to graduate. Now, the good news: the new requirements are going to give you a head start in coping with the real world 【2】your school days are over. The Ministry of Education made the changes because it 【3】(want) students to break out of their cocoons(茧). The ministry feels there are valuable and necessary lessons 【4】 (learn) outside of the classroom - lessons such as the responsibilities required in a workplace and, by volunteering, the responsibilities required of a good citizen. The ministry's changes, however, 【5】 be somewhat problematic. Students are busy with school work, so where will they find the time? 【6】 many organizations need volunteers on weekends and you can easily meet that part of the requirement, finding a place to do your practical training will be more difficult. It will probably have to be done during vacations. Many Western companies offer internships（实习机会）and summer jobs to high school students. They see 【7】 as part of their corporate responsibility and it's also a good way for them to identify potential employees. Chinese companies, however, offer fewer internships and summer jobs, and their programs are not well-developed. Students may just end up sitting around all day. 【8】 (bad) yet, there are some companies which do hire students but just to exploit their labor. There are stories of vocational school students who, as part of their practical training, 【9】(send)to factories where they assemble computer parts. They spend long hours on an assembly line and are paid low wages. Not much to learn there 【10】 how to be tired, bored and broke. Hopefully, your practical experience will be better and you will learn useful lessons. The most important of which is, as one businessman said, "In the workplace, you have to get an A-plus all the time -- being "just good enough" just isn't good enough". |

High school freshmen always have a lot of questions on their minds. "What can I do when I grow up?" is one of them. It's definitely not too early to start thinking about his tough question. The following tips may help equip you for your future career. Think beyond grades Getting good grades in high school is important, but focusing only on straight A's could go wrong. Spending too much time on your schoolwork will leave you little time to explore opportunities outside of the classroom. Extracurricular activities are necessary because they serve as a form of career exploration. They can help you figure out your work preferences, like whether you are a "people person" or prefer to work alone. Nowadays, most well-known colleges care about candidates' experiences as much as their grades. Seek advice from grown-ups Talk to your parents, teachers and school counselors about how they started their careers. Even though you're interested in the careers they are in, it would be useful to learn about the process which got them where they are now. If you find your friend's mother doing a worthwhile job by chance, ask her if job shadowing is possible in her company during vacation. After all, seeing a typical day in the position you have an interest in can be an invaluable experience. Start your search online If you really have no idea what you can do when you grow up, take online career quizzes to get ideas about what professions naturally match your skills, interests and personality traits. For the time being, you just need to focus on finding a field or two that interests you, rather than a specific career. Chances are you'll change your mind several times before finding a career that you want to stick to. Starting to explore career options now can at least help you decide what your potential major might be. 【1】Spending some time taking part in after-school activities can help high school students ________. A.get A's in all subjects B.explore their work preferences C.have access to prestigious universities D.get along with their classmates 【2】Grown-ups may help high school students by _________.

Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels. Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shocking differences in perception(感知) between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent entities(实体) .When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object. Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line's length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians. The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult--estimating the line's size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also--estimating the line's length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into east-west differences In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens, four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one. Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize(使内化) it. But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills. 【1】According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to_________. A.emphasize independent thinking more B.always focus more on their surroundings C.focus on the context as well as object D.think of Westerners as highly independent entities 【2】We know from the passage that people's brains will be more active when  _________.A.the task is much easier B.the blood flow is tracked C.people begin to choose colors D.the task is more difficult 【3】What do the findings of the experiments mentioned in the passage indicate? A.They indicate that culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave. B.They show that Easterners and Westerners have great differences in perceiving the world C.They suggest that people's habits of thought and perception can be changed in different cultures. D.They make it clear that Easterners and Westerners lay emphasis on different things 【4】It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A.Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism B.East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence C.It took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower D.Americans will change their habits of perception when they're in Britain |

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. 【1】 How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationships with ourselves? The problem might be worse than we expect. Maybe we don’t like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don’t like about yourself from these lists? Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. 【2】 Even if that happened in distant past, your subconscious(潜意识的) mind still has a reason not to like yourself. Your background: You might wish that you were born in a different family, or that you have a different background. Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others. They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background. Your personal features: You might have some personality features that you don’t like. For example, you may be an introvert(内向的) and you don’t like it; you wish you were an extrovert. Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them. 【3】 Is there anything that resonate (共鸣) with you? All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself. 【4】 Here are some tips: Forgive yourself; Accept things you can’t change; Focus on your strengths; Write your success stories; Stop comparing yourself with others; Always be true to yourself. A.That is the first step if we are to have good relationships with others. B.You might think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talents. C.You can do something to improve the relationships with others. D.Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation. E.You might be disappointed with yourself on why you make such mistakes. F.Sometimes you might not believe yourself. |
