To get a well-paid job after graduation,many Chinese students like to chose science such as engineering and computer programming. Meanwhile,humanities majors(人文专业)are often let out in the cold.
Even in the United States,the past decade has seen fewer college students taking humanities as a major since the 2008 financial crisis,according to an article published by The Atlantic in August. Instead,more and more students study science majors,such as engineering,computer science,and biology. According to the US Department of Education,exercise science,nursing,and computer science are among the fastest growing majors in 2017.
The change of students' preference of majors could be because they care more about finding a better job after the financial crisis,reported The Atlantic. Many believe humanities majors don't allow them to find a good job,while science majors could help them land a good job.
“It's really no surprise that they want to pay more attention to the career pathways they are likely to get into with a particular credential(证书).And we are seeing that reflected in our employee numbers,"Greg Summers,professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the US,told Inside Higher Education.
However,humanities majors are believed to have their own advantages.“Humanities majors encourage analysis,critical thinking,and a good knowledge of various topics. These majors look deeper into varied texts that influence media,culture,society,literature,and politics,"according to Huff Post.
While students who majored in humanities may earn less than science majors when they just graduate from college,humanities majors will gradually catch up,according to a 2018 report by the American Academy of Arts & Science.
To say the least,your life isn't completely decided by your major."Not every software engineer is successful,and not every philosophy(哲学)major is unemployed. One’s major does not determine one's future,"commented Huff Post.
【1】More and more college students take science majors rather than humanities majors because ______.
A.they are more interested in science majors
B.humanities majors are of no practical value
C.science majors can help them find a good job
D.many countries suffered the 2008 financial crisis
【2】Paragraph 6 is intended to tell us that______.
A.not every science major can mean a good job for students
B.humanities majors will bring more chances to college students in the future
C.the number of college students taking humanities majors will gradually rise
D.college students taking humanities majors will gradually earn more in the long term
【3】The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A.give college students advice on choosing majors
B.encourage more students to take humanities majors
C.inform students of the advantages of science majors
D.tell the difference between science and humanities majors

Nowadays,cats and dogs are popular pets. However,when it comes to the relationship with their owners,cats are usually seen as unfriendly and distant with respect to their owners,compared with dogs. It is usual for them to be indifferent(漠不关心的)when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don't understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we've been fooled.
Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them.
In the study,scientists studied 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words they heard were some nouns that resembled their names while the final word they heard was just the cat's name. Then they observed the cats' responses,if there were any.
Most cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names,while they made no response to other words which sounded seemingly like their names.
That suggested,"cats were paying attention to you,what you say and what you do,"John Bradshaw,an expert on human-animal relations at the University of Bristol,UK,told The Times.
“And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,"she added.
In the study,when people called their names,cats often connected the words with rewards,such as food or play,or with punishments such as having a bath or going to the vet. This made cats sensitive(敏感的)to words. After the cats had been called several times,they could respond to the words.
But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved to follow their owners' orders,cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant,they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito,cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness,which they tend to hide because in the wild,no one can save them and hunters are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However,technology may help bridge the communication gap between our feline(猫科的)friends and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So,the next time you hear "meow,meow",your cat may be telling you:“Hi,you haven't cleaned my liter box recently.”
【1】The underlined word “resembled” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by______.
A.were limited to B.were similar to
C.were different from D.were away from
【2】The cats appear distant to their human owners in that______.
A.they are not sensitive to human voices
B.they want to protect themselves from harm
C.they always connect words with punishments
D.they failing to pay attention to their surroundings
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.It's important to communicate with cats.
B.It's difficult to understand the cats' needs.
C.Cats have a good relationship with their owners.
D.We may know cats better with the help of technology.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Cats do understand their owners. B.Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C.Cats are distant from their owners. D.Cats show respect for their owners.

My brother Stanley died last January from cancer,and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and,at the time,I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.
While Stanley was sick,I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider's view of the care Stanley received,when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However,as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly(严厉的).
We experienced long waits in emergency departments,and doctors were unsure of the details of Stanley's case. We waited around for doctors to arrive,but they seldom turned up. But worst of all was Stanley's senior doctor. Near the end,he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the choices have been used,"he said. And with that,he left,never to be seen again.
All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart?After Stanley died,I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals,while I took a year out. I simply couldn't face working in medicine.
Finally,I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself,and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn't always answer patients' questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured,or how long they would live,but it wasn't always possible to say.
It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism(不专业)or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.
I began to see my patients as Stanley,and myself no longer as his sister,but one of his caregivers.
Now I was in their shoes-the people who spend every day caring for others.
I still miss Stanley horribly,but at least now the anger has gone.
【1】Why did the author feel upset in hospital?
A.Because it was too late to cure her brother.
B.Because the treatment was too painful for the author to bear.
C.Because she couldn't help the doctors with her medical knowledge.
D.Because the care given to her brother was far below her expectations.
【2】The underlined word "it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A.the insider's view of the care B.the care her brother received
C.the author's medical profession D.the author's long stay in hospital
【3】The author changed her opinion after she_______.
A.suffered a serious illness
B.met Stanley's doctors again
C.communicated with her classmates
D.experienced caring for cancer patients directly
【4】What did the author do after he brother died?
A.She put in efforts o save patients.
B.She gave up her study in medicine.
C.She applied for a job in a big city immediately.
D.She took a year out and then got a job in a clinic.
【5】The author wrote this passage in order to______.
A.give advice on how to be a professional doctor
B.explain how her attitude to being a caregiver changed.
C.tell the young people the importance of being a doctor.
D.share how she became a doctor after her brother's death

Happiness is a choice. For every minute you are angry,you lose 60 seconds of happiness. Be happy. Be yourself. If others don't like it,then let them be.【1】
Begin today by taking responsibility for your own satisfaction. Here are four ways to choose happiness:
1.【2】 Give it your all in everything you do,be devoted to your goals,and don't compare yourself to anyone else. Never try to be better than anyone else. If you feel called to compare yourself to someone,compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself.
2. Be around the right people.【3】 Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. When you free yourself from negative people,you free yourself to be YOU-and being YOU is the only way to truly live.
3. Help others when you're able. Care about people. In life,you get what you put in.【4】 Do something that's greater than you-something that helps someone else to be happy or to suffer less.
4. Let go when you know you should. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. Love is worth fighting for,but you can't be the only one fighting. People need to fight for you too. If they don't,you eventually have to move on and realize that what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you.【5】 If you try to force them back together things will only get worse. Holding on is being brave,but letting go and moving on is often what makes us stronger and happier.
A. Choose to be the best YOU can be.
B. Life isn't about pleasing everybody.
C. Relationships should help you, not hurt you.
D. Focus on what you have, not on what you haven't.
E. Some relationships and situations just can't be fixed.
F.A positive influence on others means a positive one on your own.
G. No one else has the power to make you feel small unless you give them the power.
