Answer Sheet 2
.
From Accountant to Yogi: Making a Radical Career Change
[A] At some point, almost all of us will experience a period of radical professional change. Some of
us will seek it out; for others it will feel like an unwelcome intrusion into otherwise stable careers. Either
way, we have choices about how we respond to it when it comes.
[B] We recently caught up with yoga entrepreneur Leah Zaccaria, who put herself through the fire of
change to completely reinvent herself. In her search to live a life of purpose, Leah left her high-paying
accounting job, her husband, and her home, in the process, she built a radically new life and career. Since
then, she has founded two yoga studios, met a new life partner, and formed a new community of people.
Even
if
your
personal
reinvention
is
less
drastic,
we
think
there
are
lessons
from
her
experience
that
apply.
[C] Where do the seeds of change come
from?
t
he Native
American
Indians have a saying: “Pay
attention to the whispers so
you won’t have to hear the screams.” Often the best ideas for big changes
come from unexpected places
—
it’s just a matter of tuning in. Great leaders recognize the weak sign
als
or slight
signs that point to
big changes
to
come.
Leah reflects
on a time she listened to the whispers:
“About the time my daughter was five years old. I started having a sense that ‘this isn’t right.”’ She then
realized that her life no longer matched her vision for it.
[D] Up until that point, Leah had followed traditional measures of success. After graduating with a
degree in business and accounting, she joined a public accounting firm, married, bought a house, put lots
of stuff in it, and had
a baby. “I did what everybody else thought looked successful,”
she says. Leah easily
could have fallen into a trap of feeling content; instead, her energy sparked a period of experimentation
and renewal.
[E]
Feeling
the
need
to
change,
Leah
started
playing
with
future
possibilities
by
exploring
her

interests and developing new capabilities. First trying physical exercise and dieting, she lost some weight
and
discovered
an
inner
strength.
“1
fe
lt
powerful
because
1
broke
through
my
own
limitations,
”
she
recalls.
[F] However, it was another interest that led Leah to rad
ically reinvent herself. “I remember sitting
on a bench with my aunt at a
yoga studio,’’ she said, having a moment
of clarity right then and there:
Yoga is saving my life. Yoga is waking me up.
I’m not happy and I want to change and I’m done with
this.” In that moment of clarity Leah made an important leap
,conquering her inner resistance to change
and making a firm commitment to take bigger steps.
[G] Creating the future you want is a lot easier if you are ready to exploit the opportunities that come
your way. When Leah made the commitment to change, she primed herself to new opportunities she may
otherwise have overlooked. She recalls:
[H] One day a man I worked with, Ryan, who had his office ne
xt to mine, said, “Leah, let’s go look
at this space on Queen Anne.” He knew my love for yoga and had seen a space close to where he lived
that he thought might be good to serve as a yoga studio. As soon as I saw the location, I knew this was it.
Of course
I was scared, yet I had this strong sense of “I have to do this.” Only a few months later Leah
opened her first yoga studio, but success was not instant.
[I]
Creating the future takes time. That’s why leaders continue to manage the present while building
toward the big changes of the future. When it’s time to make the leap, th
ey take action and immediately
drop what’s no longer serving their purpose. Initially Leah stayed with her accounting job while starting
up the yoga studio to make it all work.
[J] Soon after, she knew she had to make a bold move to fully commit to her new future. Within two
years, Leah shed the safety of her accounting job and made the switch complete. Such drastic change is
not easy.
[K] Steering through change and facing obstacles brings us face to face with our fears. Leah reflects
on one incident that triggered her fears, when her investors threatened to shut her down: “I was probably
up against the most fear I’ve ever had
，
” she says. “I had spent two years cultivating this commu
nity, and
it had become successful very fast, but within six months I was facing the prospect of losing it all.”
[L]
She
connected
with
her
sense
of
purpose
and
dug
deep,
cultivating
a
tremendous
sense
of
strength.
“I
was
feeling
so
intentional
and
strong
that
I
wasn’t
going
to
let
fear
just
take
over.
I
was
thinking,
‘
OK, guys, if you want to try to shut me down, shut me down.
’
And I knew it was a negotiation
scheme, so I was able to say to myself, ‘This is not real.’” By naming her fears and facing them he

Leah gained confidence. For most of us, letting go of the safety and security of the past gives us great fear.
Calling out our fears explicitly, as Leah did,can help us act decisively.
[M]
The cycle of renewal never ends. Leah’s growth spurred her t
o open her second studio
—
and it
wasn’t for the money.
[N]
I
have
no
desire
to
make
millions
of
dollars.
It’s
not
about
that;
it’s
about
growth
for
me.
Honestly, I didn’t need to open a second studio. I was making as much money as
I was as an accountant.
B
ut I know if you don’t grow, you stand still, and that doesn’t work for me.
[O] Consider the current moment in your own life, your team or your organization. Where are you in
the cycle of renewal: Are you actively preserving the present, or selectively forgetting the past, or boldly
creating the future? What advice would Leah give you to move you ahead on your journey? Once we’re
on the path of growth, we can continually move through the seasons of transformation and renewal.

estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.
The report says America’s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the
industry,
as
cities
across
the
country
imitate
the
walkability
and
transit-oriented
development
making
cities like New York and San Francisco so successful.
As
smaller
cities
copy
the
model
of
the
se
“24
-hour
cities
，
’’
more
affordable
versions
of
these
places will be created. The report refers to this as the coming of the “18
-hour city
，
”
，
and uses the term
to
refer
to
cities
like
Houston,
Austin,
Charlotte,
a
nd
Nashville,
which
are
“positioning
themselves
as
highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.”
Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America’s largest population group,
Millennials
(
千禧一代
)
，
will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for
Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.
This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree
over whether this generation will follow in their parents
’
footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families,
or will choose to remain in the city center.
Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing
infrastructure. Most
roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to
100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.
The report’s writers state that America’s failure to inv
est in infrastructure impacts not only the health
of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.
Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report
portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-
estate “upcycle” and improving economy.
Seventy-
four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent” expectation of real
-estate
profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real-
estate “bubble,” the report’s writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.

Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
The brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as
our l
ifetime’s knowledge. But is there a point where it reaches capacity?
The answer is no, because brains are more sophisticated than that. Instead of just crowding in, old
information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form.
Previous behavioural studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. But in
a new study, researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.
In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank

D) Uncertain.
card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identificatipn number (PIN). Each time
you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one. This process improves access to relevant
information, without old memories interfering.
And
most
of
us
may
sometimes
feel
the
frustration
of
having
old
memories
interfere
with
new,
relevant
memories.
Consider
trying
to
remember
where
you
parked
your
car
in
the
same
car
park
you
were
at
a
week
earlier.
This
type
of
memory
(where
you
are
trying
to
remember
new,
but
similar
information) is particularly vulnerable to interference.
When
we
acquire
new
information,
the
brain
automatically
tries
to
incorporate
(
合并
)it
within
existing information by forming associations. And when we
retrieve
(
检索
) information, both the desired
and associated but irrelevant information is recalled.,
The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But
current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which
we forget, as its
importance begins to be more appreciated.
A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life. While it may
sound
like
an
advantage
to
many,
people
with
this
rare
condition
often
find
their
unusual
ability
burdensome.
In
a
sense,
forgetting
is
our
brain’s
way
of
sorting
memories
,
so
the
most
relevant
memories
are
ready
for
retrieval.
Normal
forgetting
may
even
be
a
safety
mechanism
to
ensure
our
brain
doesn’t
become too full.

【解析】
写作题考察了同学们的写作能力，要求在
25
分钟内完成，时间有限，因此在备战英语四
级的时候，平时应积累一些模版，多背一些精彩的句子，在 平时的练习中，应该在
20
分钟内完成
一篇不少于
120
词的作文， 下面给出以下几点建议：
一，写作中，字体要工整，改卷老师在批改四级作文的时候，由于任 务量大，再加上批改时视觉疲
劳，
不可能对每一篇作文都看得那么仔细，
有时候就凭卷 面的第一印象打分，
因此字体美观大方能
提高作文的分数；
二，注意段落结 构，写作时，应带有题目，一般分三段进行，第一段总体概述，引出正文，第二段
详细阐述文档内容，要 分条理进行，比如，
firstly
，
secondly
，等，正文一般4-6
句话阐述完毕，第
三段总结正文部分，回归主题。
三，写作要注重语法结构，不要出现明显的语法错误，否则扣分较多，影响总体成绩。

Wild
carrots
probably
evolved
with
the
other
flowering
plants,
about
360
million
years
ago. Like apples
，
carrots are native to Central Asia That
’
s why horses, which also come
from Central Asia, like both apples and carrots so much.
【

With wild carrots
，
the
roots
are
white,
small
and
skinny
，
so
we have
to pick a lot of
wild carrots to get
enough
to eat. Doctors used carrot seeds and roots as medicine, on the theory that foods that
taste bad must be good for you.
Around
8OO
AD,
people
in
Central
Asia,
managed
to
develop
a
new
kind
of
carrot
—
a
purple
carrot that attracted more interest from international traders.
【

】
Then in the late
1500s, food scientists in the Netherlands cultivated large,straight,sweet, red carrots
like the ones we eat today. But people still mostly fed carrots and pigs, and didn
’
t
eat
them
themselves.
In
the
1600,
people
in
China
used
carrots
as
medicine
,but
they
also
ate carrots boiled in soup. The red color was popular for Chinese New Year celebrations.
【

】
But
carrots
got
their
biggest
boost
during
the
two
World
Wars,
when
food
shortages
force people to eat them,and governments told everyone how healthy carrots were.
Today,
cooler countries grow most of the world
’
s carrots. Machines do most of the planting and
picking, and carrots are easy to store and ship, so they are cheap almost everywhere.
