Young people should _20_ enter into a broad flexible training program that will _21_ them for a field of work rather than for a single _22_

9、 .Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans _23_ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist.

Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, _28_ both the relatively small percentage of workers in

11、 the professions and the extremely high educational and personal _29_.

Then he co

17、ntinued to say, “I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.” Suddenly he crumpled （揉）it into a round mass. Then he asked, “Who wants it? ” Still some hands were lifted up.He asked again, “Well, how could it be if I do it like this?” he threw the bill

18、 onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled.“Who still wants it?” Still a few people put up their hands.“My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth

19、 20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down（击垮） or even broken into pieces by your determination or unfavorable situations. We may feel ourselves worth nothing, but, my darling, remember that whatever happens in the future, you should never lose your value（价值） in the Gods heart. Youre pa

20、rticular - never forget it.”36How many times did the speaker ask the people whether they wanted the bill?A. Once B. Twice C. Three times D. Four times37 The underlined word “wrinkled” in the third paragraph probably means _.A. broken B. having small lines or folds in it C. flat D. having holes on it

21、38The speaker did this test in order to _.A. tell the audience that one should never lose ones own valueB. tell the audience that God values money mostC. test if some of the audience were extremely interested in moneyD. play a trick on the audience39 What would the speaker probably talk about next?A

How to give a meaningful classBWe might like to think were not influenced by other people, but a new study into the group-buying mechanisms（机制） - like those used on coupon（优惠券） si

23、tes such as Groupon and LivingSocial - reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers.Researchers at the University of Torontos Rotman School of Management wanted to understand why group buying sites that have entered the ma

24、rket recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago, such as Mercata and MobShop.Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for.“We think one of the reasons group-buying has bee

25、n successful recently is because of the short time horizon,” says Rotman Professor Ming Hu, who co-wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu. “It allows for a herding effect.”Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how many hav

26、e already signed onto the deal.Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy: a simultaneous mechanism, where no one knows how many buyers have come before them, and a sequential（连续的） mechanism, where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowing the si

27、ze of the first group.The researchers analytical（分析的） model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal, and improves the confidence of those who sign on early, as theyre able to track the numbers of those who come af

28、ter them.“That boosts confidence,” says Professor Hu, who teaches operations management. Deals for luxury services, versus everyday items, work better in a group buy scenario（方案） because they offer consumers a greater benefit.40It can be learned from the text that _. A. the short time horizon is the

29、 reason why group-buying has been successful.B. a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up.C. a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers. D. researchers at the University of Torontos Ro

30、tman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully, such as Mercata and MobShop.41The underlined word “eliminates” in paragraph 7 probably means“_”.A. to become or to make something greater in amount, number, valueB. to remove or get rid

31、of somethingC. to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or considering D. to make something known to somebody42What can be the best title for the passage?A. Secret for marketing success boosting confidence.B. Secret for group-buying mechanismherding effect.C. Comparison between a

32、simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism.D. What others do influences our decisions.COK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符号) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeli

33、ng and character to otherwise cold digital communications. Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast (抨击) the use of emoticons as “infantile (幼稚的) just like the people who use them” He believes that words themselves should be enough. “If youre being funny, happy

34、 or sad, that should be apparent (明显的) from the comment that goes before the emoticon,” he argues. In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men dont use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there s an emoti

35、con gene.”Its an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes

36、 that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.All of these arguments may be somehow valid (正确的). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not

37、 have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. Id rather let my words do the talking.Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this. I dont regard any of my f

A. most of them look funnyB. they are easy for lazy people to useC. they add feeling and character to a communicationD. a reader cannot understand a message without

39、 them44Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with? A. Instant Message chatters are childish.B. Its enough to use language in digital communication.C. Men never use emoticons. D.

A. Advice on language used over the Internet.B. The history of emoticons.C. Arguments over the use o

41、f emoticons.D. Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.DSmoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about effect of smoking on the health not only of those who smoke but also those who do not smoke. In

42、 fact, non-smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students are trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. Believe they are completely right in their aim. However, I think it more important to achieve th

43、is by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others. Smoking is not allowed in theaters, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classroom. Although many people have passed away for having smoked a lot and we call on people to give
