Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
24. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A. He was bored with his job. B. He was out of work.
C. He wanted a higher position. D. He hoped to find a better boss.
25.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre B. a wild man was pushing a car
C. an old man’s car broke down D. a terrible accident happened
26. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?
A. He was sorry for the other applicants B. He regretted helping the old man
C. There was no hope for him to get the job D. The interviewer was very rude
27. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？
A. Where there is a will, there’s a way B. Good is rewarded with good.

C. A friend in need is a friend indeed D. Two heads are better than one
C
A man was complaining to his friend about his wife’s nagging(唠叨). He said, “All my wife does is talk, talk, talk.” His friend asked, “Well, what does she think about?” He answered, “I don’t know. She didn’t say!” You would think that with two ears and one mouth, we’d all be twice as good listeners as talkers! But not so. Research shows that we usually listen to only 20% of what others say to us. But good listening is one of the easiest and most important ways to be successful--- whether it’s in our job and career, our marriage, with our children, or with our friends.
It’s interesting that even though we can’t actually shut our ears, we somehow still manage to. We only listen to what we want to. There are three important things we need to do when we listen to others.
The first is observation. Use your eyes and look at them. It’s just common respect. Take your eyes off the TV, newspapers, or whatever else, and give the talkers your attention.
The second part of listening is concentration (专心). When others are talking to us, we shouldn’t break in or just be thinking about what we want to say. Hear them out. Listen to everything they have to say and then say what we want to say.
The third and probably most important part of good listening is consideration. This means using your heart. Really care about what they are feeling or going through. Don’t just hear their words, but try to understand their feelings. People usually know if we’re really interested in or care about what they’re saying.
28. According to the author, most people ______ .
A. are not good listeners B. don’t like those people who talk a lot
C. are good at talking rather than listening
D. are not successful because they don’t know how to listen
29. When we listen to others, we should _____ .
A. pay attention only to what we want B. break in and give our opinions
C. give our opinions after they finish talking D. look at their eyes instead of their mouths
30. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell readers an interesting story B. To tell readers how to be good listeners.
C. To advise readers to care about others. D. To show readers the importance of listening.
31. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

Do you have trouble getting serious about studying for a test? Here are some tips.
10
Unless you’ve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study sessions because they tend to get off-topic pretty quickly. Save the social time till you’ve handed in your test.
The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible such as music, television, and even the Internet and your phone. If you don’t have your own room, consider studying at the library instead.
Before you dig in, make sure you have all your books, notes, study guides and writing utensils(用具) in front of you. Don’t give yourself another excuse to get up and walk around.
If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food. Instead, snack on studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, peanut butter, milk and seafood. Caffeine or energy drinks won’t help you in the long run. Get your energy boost instead by eating a banana or an apple.
If you try to study every single thing your teacher has ever said, you’ll go crazy. Instead, focus on the most important topics. If you’re not sure what those are, read the study guide or ask your classmates. Once you’ve understood the important parts, if there’s still some time left before the test, you can move onto the less important parts.
Your brain can only take so much hard work at one time. For every hour that you study, take about 15 minutes to do something mindless, like taking a walk, or listening to music. It’ll keep your stress level down and give your brain a chance to let all that information sink in.
32. In Paragraph 2 the author suggests that we ______ .
A. engage in social activities B. choose the right friends
C. study alone to learn better D. try group study sessions
33. What’s the author’s attitude to “ getting your energy boost with energy drinks”?
A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
34. The last paragraph shows the importance of ______ .
A. working hard for a test B. getting everything ready for study
C. taking a break from time to time D. moving onto less important things
35. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare some study methods. B. To tell us how to prepare well for a test.
C. To ask students to enjoy high school life D. To show how to create a perfect study area.
E
There is an old Spanish proverb which states, “ Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” 36 Too many. But our dreams should not and cannot wait.
Tomorrow is not promised.
Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is that everybody will die someday. None of us know the day. 37 Don’t go to your grave with unfinished dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small, right now.
10
The world is waiting for your gift.
The world is waiting for you. 38 Sure, other people may be able to sing, but they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure, other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same point of view in which you write.
39
You can dream about writing a great novel, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure.
You can’t let fear win.
One of the biggest dream killers is fear. There are so many people who could have achieved amazing things if they weren’t afraid. Just think about all the things you’ve wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren’t capable or good enough. 40 You can choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.
A. Therefore, today is all we have.
B. Dreams don’t work unless you do.
C. Remember that fear is just a choice.
D. You were born into the world with a unique gift.
E. You will be much happier if you go for your dreams.
F. There are so many opportunities and people waiting for you.
G. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?

Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on the American history this Saturday morning, because my mother will come to see me that day. We haven’t seen each other for quite a long time and I have promised to meet her at the railway station, for she is not familiar with this city.
As you know, I’m deeply interested in the American history, so it’s really a pity to miss the lecture. But I wonder if I could borrow the video or have a copy of the PPT. It would mean so much to me to watch the video or PPT and learn what’s covered in your lecture.
Best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely,
