A

Do you have a job? If you do, you

’

ll know the world of work can be tough --- long hours, boring tasks and stress. But

it can bring benefits too, such as a regular salary. Maybe that

’

s why more of us are now taking on a side hustle --- another

name for a second job.

For some having two jobs is a necessity --- a way to make ends meet and provide extra income. But it now seems that

more

people

want

to

put

their

skills

and

passions

into

practice

to

make

money.

These

tend

to

be

entrepreneurial

young

people who want to work on their own projects alongside their main source of income.

According to Henley Business School, around one in four workers run at least one side hustle business, half of which

were started in the past two years. Those aged 25 to 34 are most likely to be involved, with 37 percent thought to run a

sideline

of

some

kind.

It

calculates

that

the

average

side

hustler

makes

about

20

percent

of

their

income

through

their

second job.

But what

’

s interesting is that many millennials (

千禧一代

) are turning their hand to new jobs not just for money and

security.

Research

has

found

that

almost

three-quarters

of

people

are

following

a

passion

or

exploring

a

new

challenge.

Becci Mai Ford, who works some of the time for a telecommunications company to pay the bills, spends the rest of her time

developing her craft company. She says going full-time is

“

not financially worth it right now but it fuels my creative soul

and makes me happy

”

.

C. The entire road is a school zone.

C. Surprised.

C. Its endless scenery.

C. Eight kilometers.

C. Getting too thirsty.

19. How far must a half marathon runner go before the first water station?

Of course having a side hustle means you are self- employed, which can give you flexibility to work when you like, but

it can be risky. You sometime work on a zero-hours contract and may not get offered enough work. Or what was originally

your passion may become more of a chore. However, this could be the best way to try out a new career or follow a passion

while not giving up the day job.

21. According to the passage, which of the following is

NOT

the reason for people to take on a side hustle?

A. To make money.

C. To have the flexibility to work.

B. To obtain job satisfaction.

D. To enjoy a risky lifestyle.

B. making a comparison

D. analyzing cause and effect

C. Neutral.

B

With Chinese consumers hit by quarantine (

隔离期

) and travel restrictions as well as just cautious about going out to

the shops due to the coronavirus epidemic (

流行病

), companies in China are experimenting with new tricks to make sales.

Oil giant Sinopec --- keen to get customers back in their cars and help farmers due to roadblocks --- launched a new

project last month called

“

zero- touch

”

vegetable sales at its 6,000 gas stations in 147 Chinese cities. Consumers place and

pay for orders on the app and when they drive up, gas station employees put the vegetables into their car trunk,

eliminating

any need for human-to-human contact.

“

The coronavirus outbreak has made it difficult for people to shop as before,

”

said Li Hong, vice president of Sinopec

’

s

convenience store sales division.

“

Travel demand has been falling, but demand for food is pretty rigid.

”

Mengniu Dairy, China

’

s dairy producer, is racing to add more vending machines to the 10,000 it currently has, saying

the epidemic has driven unexpectedly strong demand for the sales channel. Its system allows customers to order products

like

milk

and

yogurt

online

which

can

then

be

picked

up

from

their

local

vending

machine.

“

The

virus

outbreak

has

decreased consumption for dairy products as people are unwilling to go to the supermarket,

”

said Meng Fanjie, head of the

company

’

s Communist Party committee.

Luckin Coffee, a competitive rival to Starbucks, now also offers the sanitizer (

消毒

) products (e.g. hand soap) besides

coffee. Liu Xingliang, an independent retail analyst, said, however, that Luckin

’

s strategy would have only a modest impact.

“At best some users will place an order when they buy coffee,

but nobody is deliberately choosing the Luckin app just to

buy sanitizer”

A. Citizens were not allowed to go out.

B. The demand for travel and food declined sharply.

C. The coronavirus epidemic changed people

’

s way of life.

D. Companies desired to grasp the chance to defeat their competitors.

25. What does the underlined word

eliminating

”

in Paragraph

2

most probably refer to?

A. meeting

B. removing

C. decreasing

D. limiting

26. The passage is written mainly to

.

A. illustrate the difficulty caused by the coronavirus epidemic

B. explain the changes made by some companies in the epidemic

3

22. The author explains the study from Henley Business School by

.

A. describing the process

C. presenting research findings

23. What is the author

’

s attitude towards having a second job?

A. Critical.

B. Indifferent.

D. Favorable.

24. According to the passage, why did some companies adopt new selling methods?

C. describe the challenges some companies met during the epidemic

D. reveal the intelligence people showed in the coronavirus epidemic

C

People may set an alarm on the phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep. That hard, unpleasant sound may

be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up?

A recent study says yes. The answer is music.

The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The researchers found that people who wake up

to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFarlane, a lead writer of the study stated,

“

We are very

surprised by these findings as one might expect a harsh beeping sound to be more successful,

”

at waking up a person.

Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble

getting

moving

again

after

sleeping.

McFarlane

said

people

need

to

better

understand

sleep

inertia

’

s

harmful

effects

on

human performance later in the day.

Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who do,

“

care should be taken

”

when performing duties that

require

a

top

performance

within

this

period,

he

said.

This

includes

“

dangerous

tasks

like

driving

or

riding

our

bikes

”

shortly after waking up. The same is true for people who work in dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including

firefighters and pilots.

So,

what

makes

musical

alarms

better

for

waking

up?

The

researchers

think

the

music

may

be

more

successful

in

reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a

“

beeping

”

alarm. McFarlane said that

the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person

’

s attention when waking from sleep.

And

is

there

a

kind

of

music

that

is

best

to

wake

up

to?

There

may

be,

McFarlane

said.

“

We

could

suggest

alarm

sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with. The current sounds I have been using include

‘

Close to me

’

by

the Cure and

‘

Borderline

’< /p>

by Madonna.

”

No matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters --- a lot.

27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. What is grogginess?

C. Which music is the best?

B. Why are musical alarms better?

D. How can we overcome grogginess?

28. Which of the following statements is

TRUE

according to the passage?

A. Sleep inertia is another cause for grogginess.

B. How long a person sleeps is of great importance.

C. The

‘

beeping

’

alarm is not effective mainly because of its noisy tone.

D. It is dangerous for everyone to drive or ride bicycles shortly after waking up.

29. The paragraph following this passage is likely to focus on

.

A. examples of good musical alarms

B. more findings of the application of music

C. explanations about why music is more helpful

D. suggestions on how to sleep well and feel fresh each morning

30. In which section of a magazine may you find the passage?

A. Health.

B. Fiction.

There are hundreds of publishers across the world and millions of books get printed every year. Moreover, a book can

be printed by several polishers.

31

To overcome the problem of identifying books, publishers have come up with a unique numbering system. For instance,

if 50,000 copies of

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

are printed by a publisher at one time (called an edition), all of them

are identified by one number code.

32

Your address begins with your house number, street, locality,

state and

ends

with

a

statement

of

the

country

where

you

live.

An

ISBN

book

number

achieves

a

similar

aim

of

identifying

and

tracing a book

If you pick up any book, turn it around you will see a number which looks something like this --- ISBN 90-70002-34-5.

This is called the ISBN number. ISBN stands for International Standard Book Numbering.

33

The ISBN number

is divided into four groups that are separated by a space or a hyphen.

The first part of the ISBN identifies the country and is called the Group Identifier.

34

The second part is

called the Publisher Prefix. The Publisher Prefix is used to identify the publisher of the book. The publisher prefix may

contain up to seven digits.

The third part identifies the title and the edition of the book and so is called the Title Identifier, which may consist of

up to six digits.

35

Since you can have the same book from the same publisher but with different editions, the

Title Identifier helps to differentiate between them.

The fourth and the final part is called the Check digit, a single digit (from 0 to 9) used to check whether the given

ISBN number is correct or wrong. If an ISBN number is incorrect, this means that the book is a version printed illegally.

A. It may consist of up to five digits.

B. So what can the ISBN number do for you?

C. This makes the task of identifying a book very difficult.

D. It is a numbering system that is used to describe the book.

E. Book publishers often come out with newer and updated versions of earlier books.

E. The number Code is your home address that can only be shared by your parents and siblings.

G. The ISBN numbering system helps book stores and book publishers to handle, categorize, store and identify books

easily.
