Our Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification system(Dewey for short) to arrange books and other resources on the shelves so you can locate them easily. We’re going to show you how to use Dewey to find a book at any Library site. Once you’ve searched for your item on Library Search, you’ll see something like this:
The part in the brackets is the bit we’re interested in. What do these numbers next to the book’s location mean? The numbers shown are a “shelfmark”. You’ll find one of these on every book in the Library—a lot of customers find this confusing at first but if you break down the information into three sections, it’s easier to understand. |

I had planned a tour in New Zealand and when I finally visited the country last year, I simply fell in love with it. New Zealand is a nature lover’s paradise. Wonderful scenery, pollution free, good climate, challenging activities…what more can one ask for? No skyscraper in cities at all. A four or five-storied building is a high and huge one here. The West Coast beaches attracted me most. Sitting on the sand, listening to the wind, watching the fantastic tiding, we were exposed to a wild and pure picture. We rented a car and drove throughout the South Island. You can reserve one through the Internet. It is quite convenient to get and return the car. We started our driving in Christchurch and stopped in Dunedin seven days later. New Zealanders call themselves Kiwi（几维鸟）. This simple and kind species exists merely in this island. That is just what a New Zealander has. The engine once stalled suddenly. However we tried, it refused to work again. There was not even one car passing by. Just then two bikers appeared and offered help. Finally the car could move. Another time we lost the car key. We searched the way we walked inch by inch, hoping to find, but failed. All the things were in the car. We went to the Lost-and-Found to try our luck. The gentle policeman gave us all keys found within one hour to check. Our key was lying there! That is New Zealand. A simple but splendid place! 【1】Which of the statements would the writer agree with about New Zealand? A.Young travelers like this place better. B.Tourists can never find a better place to go. C.It’s a wonderful place for people with no cars. D.It’s environmentally friendly with amazing scenery. 【2】What does the underlined word “stalled” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Died. B.Moved. C.Exploded. D.Functioned. 【3】Why do New Zealanders call themselves Kiwi? A.They look like the bird Kiwi. B.They are simple and kind like Kiwi. C.They want people to know more about this species. D.They try to raise tourists’ awareness to protect Kiwi. |

The state of Israel has welcomed the opportunity to build itself as a startup nation. But how did Israel show its strength in the tech market? And what drove this region to become a software-centric startup nation of young companies competing for a place on the global tech map? Part of the answer comes down to the local mindset, mentality and morals-after all, the country is well used to fighting for its place. The wider answer is the combination of resources(largely human, not natural ones), higher education, the widespread use of English and the determined attitude to overcome problems that is typical of the local culture. “We have a longstanding tradition of turning curses into blessings,” said Jon Medved, CEO of OurCrowd, a Jerusalem-based global venture investment platform organization. “We don’t have huge natural resources, so we have worked hard to develop our skills-base in the country. There is a certain mentality that leans towards risk acceptance here…. and people develop that from a young age. In my view, great achievements are made by taking lots of risks, but in a calculated way with various approaches to everything.” Actually, what happens next will be interesting. Israel can’t call itself a startup technology nation forever. For example, more and more of these tech startups will need to graduate to become fully-blown operational companies. Although what often happens is the smaller tech companies end up getting bought by international tech heavyweights-the ICQ messaging system purchase by AOL being among the most famous of these. We can also see major firms like Microsoft and others setting up production plants and research centres in the region, so Israel won’t want to see its talent being bled outwards either. Either way, Israel’s technology zone has put itself on the map from what appeared to almost nothing. Software development works well in a melting pot. It just needs some hot sauce… and they have that too. 【1】What is one of the reasons behind Israel’s rising as a technology startup nation? A.Rich human and natural resources. B.A high value placed on education. C.Widespread use of the native language. D.Successful cooperation with major firms. 【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 3? A.Some natural resource. B.The local culture. C.The risk-taking mentality. D.A higher education. 【3】Why is the case of the ICQ messaging system purchase mentioned? A.To prove talent is the key to success. B.To show the startups giving up their dreams. C.To confirm nothing is impossible in this field. D.To stress the challenge the startups tend to face. 【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Israel’s tech market has the strength to further develop. B.Israel still needs to make greater effort to stay on the top. C.Israel’s technology has played the leading role in its field. D.No International tech heavyweights can compete with Israel. |

Successful people aren’t necessarily special, but they are usually very driven and have unlocked the secrets to achieving their goals. 【1】 As I figured out over the years how to go from making lists of goals to actually getting them completed, I learned a few steps to make the process of goal setting effective. 1. Make it smaller. 【2】 But then you have to turn that into several of what I call “something smaller” goals. By making small goal benchmarks（基准）to work toward, the goal becomes achievable overall because you make it actionable in smaller steps. 2. 【3】 A good goal is one that stretches you to the edge of your comfort zone, but not one that crosses over into fantasy. Everyone would love to make a million dollars a year, but if that’s not a possible number, start with a believable number. It doesn’t get you to a million this year, but it is something more achievable. These smaller, realistic goals help break big ideas into smaller actions, too. 3. Make it known. Great way to achieve any goal is to get the right support for your journey. Tell people who will be supportive and involved in your success. That has the benefit of supporting you during times of challenge. 【4】 . 4. Make it fun. As you meet your benchmarks, set up ways to celebrate or enjoy your victories. 【5】 Very often, it’s to make it a part of your daily life, so learn to enjoy not just the destination but also the process of getting there. A.Make it reasonable. B.Make it easy for you. C.The vision of the goal has to start out big. D.One of their secrets is good goal setting. E.Share your goal with them to help you reach it. F.The purpose of any goal isn’t just to achieve it. G.And that also holds yourself more responsible to goals. |

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Our family was Christmas shopping in a large department store, when our nine-year-old son, Bradley, shouted, “Money!” Rolled up with a rubber band（橡皮带）was a large amount of cash, apparently dropped unknowingly by its owner. He was excited, but my husband told him, “Someone else is very sad about losing this money.” I added, “Yes, and the person who lost it may be wildly looking for it now.” Then we asked, “How would you feel had you lost the money?” “I think I’d be sad and maybe even sick to my stomach,” he admitted. I asked, “Do you think you should keep the money or turn it in to the manager?” It wasn’t an easy decision. He frowned（皱眉）. “Turn it in.” “But, Mom, what if no one ever comes to claim it?” he asked. We explained it to the lady at Lost and Found. “Do you think if the money isn’t claimed it could be given to our son who found it?” I asked. The lady had watched Bradley struggle with changing his mind and readily agreed. We left his name and address and she wrote a quick note. Then using the rubber band she attached the note to the money and placed it in a lock-box. Two years later a letter came to Bradley from that store, saying they had found a roll of money in their vault（金库）with Bradley’s name and address on it. Attached to the letter was a check made out to Bradley with a note from the manager. Dear Bradley, I admire you so much for making such a grown up decision at age nine. I remember your struggle and know it wasn’t easy. It took a person of strong character to turn in that money. Many adults would struggle with such a decision. The money was never claimed so I am pleased to honor your request. The money is now yours! It would be a wonderful story if it ended right here, but there’s more. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1. Twenty years later Bradley was out of job. Worse still, his new-born son, Nathan, suffered a serious disease and was in ICU. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. He walked over the nurses’ desk, put all the coins on the counter, and said, “This isn’t my money.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
