Passage A
There are many
factors which may have an influence on adults and
children being able
to lead a healthy
life.
Nowadays,
people are very busy. Often, both parents work
outside the home. Children
are
expected
to
take
on
more
responsibility
at
home
to
help
their
parents.
They
also
have
sporting and leisure activities as well
as school expectations.
The
busyness
also
adds
another
factor:
the
need
to
use
cars
to
get
from
one
place
to
another quickly.
Today,
society
places
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
technology.
Computers,
DVDs.
CDs,
television,
PlayStations
and
Xboxes
have
become
major
leisure
activities,
rather
than
traditional more active pursuits. This
has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.
The media provide
entertainment and information. Unfortunately, they
also promote fast
food which fits
easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more
convenient at times to buy a quick
takeaway
rather
than
prepare
a
meal.
The
media
constantly
bombard(
轰炸
)
their
audience
with ‘perfect’ body images, the need to
buy the most fashionable clothes, the most
up
-to-date
computer games,
the best places to visit and the best things to
do.
Environments vary. We may be exposed to
pollution , such as cigarette smoke. This can
be
harmful
to
people
who
suffer
from
breathing
difficulties.
Environments
where
passive
smoking is unavoidable make it
difficult to lead a healthy life.
It
is
important
factor
influencing
healthy
lifestyles
is
motivation.
Or
the
desire
to
be
healthy.
Any
person
who
wants
to
be
healthy
will
find
a
way
to
be
healthy
—
if
he/she
is
motivated enough!

important
factor
influencing
healthy
lifestyles.
A. technology

Passage B
Interest in pursuing international
careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by
chronic
(
长久的
)
personnel
shortages
that
are
causing
companies
to
search
beyond
their
home
borders for talent.
Professionals
seek
career
experience
outside
of
their
home
countries
for
a
variety
of
reasons. They may feel
the need to recharge their batteries with a new
challenge. They may
want
a
position
with
more
responsibility
that
encourages
creativity
and
initiative.
Or
they
may wish to expose
their children to another culture, and the
opportunity to learn a second
language.
When applying for a job, one usually
has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV).
The two terms generally mean the same
thing: a one-or two-page document describing
one
’
s
educational
qualifications and professional experience.
However, guidelines for preparing a
resume are constantly changing. The
best advice is to find out what is appropriate
regarding
the corporate
(
公司
) culture, the country
culture, and the culture of the person making the
hiring decision. The challenge will be
to embrace two or more cultures in one document.
The
following list is a good place to
start.
●
“
Educational
requirements
differ
from
country
to
country.
In
almost
every
case
of
‘
cross-
border
’
job
hunting,
just
stating
the
title
of
your
degree
will
not
bean
adequate
description.
Provide the reader with details about your studies
and any related
experience.”
●
Pay attention
to the resume format you use-chronological or
reverse-chronological order.
Chronological order means listing your
‘
oldest
’
work experience first. Reverse-chronological
order
means
listing
your
current
or
most
recent
experience
first.
Most
countries
have
preferences
about
which
format
is
most
acceptable.
If
you
find
no
specific
guidelines,
the
general preference is for the
reverse-
chronological
format.”
●
If
you
are
submitting
your
resume
in
English,
find
out
if
the
recipient
(
收件人
)
uses
British English or
American English because there are variations
between the two versions.
