The Sweetest Thing

When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town __36__ with my mom, I

would run my fingers through my favorite candy on the shelf.

3

/

18

Once there, thinking about all things sweet, I noticed a man a few feet away pushing buttons on

the ATM machine. Dressed in a suit, he seemed to be late for something, __37__ waiting for his cash

to appear. The machine made a noise, and he immediately

__38__ a pile of bills and headed out.

Curiously, I walked over to the A

TM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the __39__.

Then I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful, crisp $$20 bill! __40__ I

wanted

to

believe

my

magic

made

the

cash

appear,

I

knew

the

man

in

the

suit

must

have

left

it

behind.

I held the money in my hand, staring at the number “20” and feeling

__41__ than I ever had. I

thought about slipping

the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn’t fee

l __42__. I

knew it didn’t belong to me

. I had to find its owner and give it back! So I told my mom what had

happened. “We’ll look for him.” she said kindly. We rushed out

and found him stepping into his car

in the parking lot! We __43__ him and asked whether he had left money at the cash machine.

“Let me

__44__

,” he said, pulling out his wallet and bills. “Twenty, forty, eighty…Oh! You’re

right,” he said with surprise, “I’m

__45__

a $$20 bill.”

“Here you go,” I said, smiling with

pride, as if I was a(n) __46__ who had solved a mystery.

“Thank

you

so

much,”

he

said,

bending

down

and

shaking

my

hand.

My

heart

__47__.

Before

saying

goodbye,

he

asked

my

mom

for

my

name

and

__48__

.

“I

want

to

send

your

daughter

a

thank-

you card,” he said.

On my way home, my __49__ was racing. Twenty dollars. What could I have done with it? I

bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar in town! But now __50__ of that would

happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.

A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I ripped it open to find packages of candy.

“Dear Felice, Thank you very much for

__51__

my $$20. You are a great girl, and I appreciate

your

__52__

. I hope you enjoy this candy. Best Wishes, Tom.”

Tom included his business card. It

turned

out

he

was

vice-president

for

the

candy

company.

The

candy

tasted

sweet,

each

__53__

reminding me that what I had done mattered. Although my honesty wouldn’t always be

__54__ with

candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the __55__ part of all.

Cherish the Moments with Our Parents

There was something in an elderly woman’s behavior that caught my eye. Unsure of her steps,

the

woman

moved

slowly,

along

with

a

younger

woman

who

I

guessed

was

her

daughter.

The

daughter was rolling her eyes and checking her watch every few seconds.

The older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf.

Without hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled at

me and showed me a title on a piece of paper.

Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could

show

her

where

she

could

find

it.

Looking

back,

I

think

I

wanted

to

enjoy

her

company

for

a

moment.

Her

movements

reminded

me

of

my

own

mother,

who

had

passed

away

the

previous

Christmas.

As we walked, the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation. We

found the movie and she told me it

was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her son’s age and that

she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said he could enjoy it with his own

young children.

I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier. As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag, I

went over to the younger woman, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.

“Is that your mom?” I asked.

I

had

expected

her

to

tell

me

it

was

none

of

my

business.

But

she

rolled

her

eyes

and

said,

“Yeah.” There was annoyance in

her reply. Still watching the mother, I said, “Mind some advice?”

“Go ahead,” said the daughter.

I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. “Cherish her,” I said, “When she’s gone, it’s the little

moments that’ll come back to you. Moments like this. I know.”

It was true. I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I’d used

my impatience to make her life miserable.

The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter. Together they made their way toward

the store’s exit. They stood th

ere for a moment, side by side, watching the rush of the holiday current.

Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection

around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her home.

56. The daughter checked her watch frequently because she ______.

5

/

18

A. had to wait for a friend

B. wanted to buy a new watch

C. was impatient to shop with her mom

D. was uninterested in watching the DVD

57. From Paragraphs 3 and 4 we know that ______.

A. the elderly woman hadn

’

t seen the movie before

B. the elderly woman found her son

’

s favorite movie

C. the author and the elderly woman hurried to find the DVD

D. the author and the elderly

woman enjoyed each other’s company

58. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. the author had treated her mom very well

B. the elderly woman looked like the author’s

mom

C. the author scolded the daughter for her behavior

D. the daughter changed her attitude toward her mom

What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?

Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue.

Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in

relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests

you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here’s how it works

.

Look

at

your

three

middle

fingers

of

your

hand.

Is

your

index

finger

longer

than

your

ring

finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the

situation

that

best

matches

your

hand

and

see

if

what

follows

is

an

accurate

description

of

your

personality.

?

Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker

If

your

ring

finger

is

longer

than

your

index

finger,

research

shows

that

you’re

likely

a

charming

type,

and

you

can

probably

talk

yourself

out

of

any

situation.

Others

often

find

this

personality type irresistible and will go to great length

s to help you. You’re more likely to take risks,

and

you’re

good

at

problem

-solving.

People

in

this

category

make

great

engineers,

soldiers

and

crossword-puzzle solvers.

?

Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One

If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are

full

of

confidenc e

—

possibly

even

to

the

point

of

being

over- confident

and

proud. You are not necessarily introverted (

内向的

), but you do enjoy time to

yourself,

especially

when

you’re

trying

to

complete

a

project.

You

are

a

dream

pursuer

who

can

make

things

happen,

but

you

may

be

shy

when

it

comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy

with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.

?

Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker

If

your

index

finger

and

ring

finger

are

roughly

of

the

same

length,

you

are

likely

to

avoid

conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful

and

sympathetic.

But

deep

down

under

all

of

that

caring

and

peace- loving,

you

also

have

a

hot-

tempered

side

that

can

appear

unexpectedly

when

you’re

pushed

too

far.

You

will

try

your

hardest to avoid a fight.

How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my

6

/

18

cas

e, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!

59

. Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?

A.

B.

C.

D.

60. We can learn from the passage that the author ______.

A. is very charming and helpful

B. always tries hard to avoid a fight

C. often takes silly tests on Facebook

D. thinks the descriptions suit him well

61. What does the passage intend to tell us?

A. How accurate the description of the test is.

B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.

C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.

D. Personality is determined by your finger length.

62. Where can you probably find the text?

A. A popular magazine.

B. An official report.

C. A public advertisement.

D. A biology textbook.

Why Do People Blink Their Eyes?

People

blink(

眨眼

)

their

eyes

tens

of

thousands

of

times

every

day.

Scientists

have

long

believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a

new study suggests it has a more important purpose.

An

international

team

of

scientists

from

the

University

of

California

at

Berkeley

studied

the

blinking of human eyelids. The journal

Current Biology

published their findings. The team said they

f

ound that blinking “repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused”

on what we are seeing. They

said

that

when

we

blink

our

eyelids,

the

eyes

roll

back

into

their

sockets

—

the

bony

area

that

surrounds and protects the eyes. However, the researchers found the eyes don

’

t always return to the

same position. They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.

Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at

Nanyang Technological U

niversity in Singapore. Maus said, “

Our eye muscles are quite sluggish(

迟

缓的

) and imprecise, so the brain needs to constantly adapt its motor signals to make sure our eyes

are

pointing

where

they’re

supposed

to.

Our

findings

suggested

that

the

brain

measures

the

difference

in

what

we

see

before

and

after

a

blink,

and

commands

the

eye

muscles

to

make

the

needed

corrections.”

The

researchers

said

that

without

such

corrections

our

surroundings

would

appear unclear and even jumpy. They said the movement acts “like a

Steadicam(

摄影稳定器

) of the

mind.”

The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot on a

flat surface. They used special cameras to follow the volunteer

’

s blinks and eye movements. After

each blink, the dot was moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the

brain did. It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After the dot

7

/

18

was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers’ eyes changed their focus to the place where they

predicted it would be.

Professor

Maus

said,

“Eve

n

though

participants

did

not

consciously

register

that

the

dot

had

moved, their brains did, and adjusted with the corrective eye movements. These findings add to our

understanding

of

how

the

brain

constantly

adapts

to

changes,

commanding

our

eye

muscles

to

correct for errors in our bodies

’

own hardware.”

63. According to the new study, blinking eyes can ______.

A. serve to keep the eyeballs wet

B. reposition eyeballs to stay focused

C. consciously correct eye movements

D. make our eyes adapt to motor signals

64. From the experiment, we can learn that _____________.

A. volunteers could see the moving dot with special cameras

B. the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predicted

C.

participants were aware of the dot’s movements to the right

D. the brain commanded the eye muscles to refocus on the dot

65. The underlined

word “register” in

Paragraph 5 probably means ______.

A. realize

B. refocus

C. reserve

D. reason

66. This passage shows that ______.

A. eye muscles are quite inactive and imprecise

B. the research is of great value in the eye movement

C. the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearly

D. volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dots

College

graduation

eventually

means

taking

much

of

your

attention

in

your

first

job

search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about

their chosen major and intended career path

—

or those who majored in a field not directly connected

to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework,

and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on

where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?

Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a

teacher,

you

will

likely

have

needed

to

complete

an

education

program

and

eventually

sit

for

a

licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an accredited nursing

program,

you

won’t

be

able

to

take

the

nursing

licensure

exam.

In

these

cases,

successfully

completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.

Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths b

ut don’t necessarily require a degree

in

the

area.

For

example,

students

who

majored

in

finance,

math,

or

statistics

may

also

have

the

necessary

skills

to

be

hired

as

an

accountant.

Although

social

work

majors

are

most

prepared

to

provide case management services to struggling populations, students who majored in psychology or

sociology can be just as qualified.

Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions),

insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors,

looking

for

more

generalized

requirements.

They

may

simply

want

to

know

the

student

has

8

/

18

completed his or her bachelor’s degree, which demonstrates college

-level math and writing, critical

thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Hopefully,

as

a

college

student,

you

were

able

to

do

more

than

just

attend

classes.

Your

non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during

college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization? If so, and if you enjoyed these activities,

seek

out

related

careers.

If

you

volunteered

with

a

non-profit

organization

such

as

a

homeless

or

domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim

advocacy(

辩护

). You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.

Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn’t

the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If

you

don’t

know

what

career

options

to

consider

based

on

your

major,

talk

to

your

faculty

or

academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!

67. To be a customer service manager, college graduates______.

A. need to have related qualities

B. should pass a licensing exam

C. are required to major in insurance

D. must have relevant experiences

68. What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Major Ups Your Career

B. Why Your College Major Matters

C. How Important Your Major Is to Your Job

D. Major VS Career: Which Is Right for You

69. The writer thinks that _____________.

A. majors are closely linked to career paths

B. students of science tend to receive higher salaries

C. volunteer experiences help graduates get employed

D. social work graduates have more employment opportunities
