C.failure D.loss 3.In the last paragraph,the writer thinks that life on the ship is _.A.not a tiring journey at all B.just an interesting voyage C.far from a voyage for pleasure D.more than a pleasant travel by sea B About a month after I joined Facebook,I got a call from Lori Goler,a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay.She made it clear this was a business call.“I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,”she said.“Instead of recommending myself,I want to ask you:What is your biggest problem,and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor.I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that.People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves,with the implication that their skills will help the company.Lori put Facebooks needs front and center.It was a killer approach.I responded,“Recruiting is my biggest problem.And,yes,you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting,but she jumped in.She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field.Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job,leading PeopleFacebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder,but this concept no longer applies to most workers.As of 2010,the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone.Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers,who came up with a much better metaphor:“Careers are a jungle gym,not a ladder.”As Lori describes it,theres only one way to get to the top of a ladder,but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym.The jungle gym model benefits everyone,but especially women who might be starting careers,switching careers,getting blocked by external barriers,or reentering the workforce after taking time off.The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips,detours(弯路),and even dead ends presents great views of many people,not just those at the top.On a ladder,most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4.Why did Lori make the call?A.She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B.She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C.She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D.She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5.What impressed“I”by Lori?A.Lori was good at running recruiting.B.Lori attached great importance to Facebooks needs.C.Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D.Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Now all people dont tend to climb the ladder.B.None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C.Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D.A pregnant woman,jobless,benefits little from the jungle gyms.7.What is the best title of the passage?A.Its a Jungle Gym,Not a Ladder.B.Facebooks Biggest Problem.C.Applying for a Job in Facebook.D.A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.C Craig Blackburn,a father and car fan,built a Batmobile for his sons hope for

For years video games have been criticised for making people more antisocial,overweight or depressed.Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.Games can help to develop physical skills.Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills,for example they can kick,catch and throw a ball better than children who dont play video games.A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didnt.Games also benefit a variety of brain functions,including decision-making.People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others,according to one study.It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second,four times faster than most people.In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York,experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused,compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems.At the University of Auckland in New Zealand,researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases,the game
