Chamberlain Universitys College of Nursing in 2020.Her mother,SevalaHabibovic,46,died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasnt for me.Then,my mom got sick

a restaurant,one of the servers said something that stuck with me:Everyone shouldwork in a restaurant for at least a year.At the time,I didnt get it,but I took the advice to heart and worked inrestaurants on and off for the next eight years.Before realizing it,I mastered many important skills,one of whichis communication skill.When I was little,I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me.Andwhen I first started in restaurants,I had two personalities:Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy.It was easier topretend to be a different person while at work,since it was so different from who I actually was.But gradually,theskills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.When you work in a restaurant,you dont have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking topeople.Im still 110%an introvert,but restaurant work helped me communicate.Working in a restaurant not onlyhelped me speak clearly,deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything.Someguests dont want their servers to interact too much with them,and thats fine.But some sit at the bar simply tochat with you.You learn how to judge your guests level of interest in communicating with you,and how to exit aconversation at the appropriate time.My restaurant work is something that Im most proud of and I knowI wouldnt be the person I am todaywithout those eight years of experience.If youre still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long,start with one year.I doubt that youll look back.8.What did the writer think of the servers words?A.Impressive.B.Ridiculous.C.Amusing.D.Logical.9.What do we infer from Paragraph 2?A.The writer tried different jobs.B.The writer became more

work?A.Boring.B.Relaxing.C.Worthwhile.D.Unchallenging.11.What message does the writer try to convey in this passage?A.A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B.Things are difficult before they are easy.C.Communication skills advance your career.D.Restaurantwork helps to achieve a better self.DWhen almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for alandline（座机）?These days youd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesnt own a mobilephone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive callsanywhere,anytime.Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%）rely only ontheir smartphones according to a survey（调查）.Of those Australians who still have a landline,a thirdconcedethatits not really necessary and theyre keeping it as a security blanket 19 percent say they never use it while afurther13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor（因素）only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlinesnow and then,compared to 84 percent of BabyBoomers whove perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isnt the only factor;Id say its also to dowith the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phonerather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest the only people who everring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who iscallingbefore we pick up the phone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.How attached are you to your landline?How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milkdeliveries?12.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobilephones?A.Their target users.B.Their wide popularity.C.Their major functions.D.Their complex design.13.What does the underlined word“concede”in paragraph 3 mean?A.Admit.B.Argue.C.Remember.D.Remark.14.What can we say about
