阅读理解     As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it"s tough finding a job-especially if you"re competing
with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don"t quite seem to land
the job because you don"t have related experience. Don"t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you
an edge.
    Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let
everyone know you are looking for a job.
    Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it"s perfect. Have someone else read it over for
typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It"s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.
     When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you
have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not
enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.
     Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.
     Don"t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified-if there"s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you have the right
skills and attitude, it won"t be long before you"re in the job you want.
     Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an
improvement.
     When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the
organization.
     Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.
Good luck!

阅读理解     Boys need friends, suffer when they don"t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs
of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though,
no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and
healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
     Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very
important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A
recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls
tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the
end of a friendship.
     Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition,
and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against
others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court.
Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an
experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
     As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include
girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in
which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds
with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me",
someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of
adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

1. The common belief of adults is that boys________.
A. don"t care about others as much as girls
B. don"t value friendship as much as girls
C. have the same friendship as girls
D. have healthier friendship than girls

2. According to the text, boys" friendship________.
A. is usually built around active play
B. tends to be in small groups

3. The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________.
A. many people believe girls are better at relationships
B. most boys consider their friends very important
C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D. boys may be more active in a friendship

4. As a boy gets older, he tends to________.
A. widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people
B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
C. leave his parents out of his friendship
D. be confused about what a friendship is

5. What"s the best title for the text?
A. Friendships between Boys and Girls
B. Boys and Their Friendship
C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys

阅读理解      The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare"s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five
million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the
United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to
the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties
of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
      In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English

language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some

speakers.       It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications,
international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many
nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former
British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal
communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for
international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

     Walking is a great way to get in shape without breaking the bank (it"s free and you do it every day).
It benefits people physically, psychologically and socially. Here are how:
    Keeps You in Good Health
     In terms of health, walking is the key to managing weight, controlling blood pressure, and reducing the
risk of a stroke, breast cancer, and many other illnesses. A quick and energetic daily walk lengthens your
life, decreases the risk of disappointment and keeps up your mood and sense of wellbeing.
    Keeps You Mentally Refreshed
    From a psychological viewpoint, walking offers an opportunity to clarify thoughts, to solve problems
and to reduce stress. If you take a walk that is relaxing and peaceful, walking can also become a form of
meditation(冥想).
     Allows for Social Relationship
     Walking regularly with someone else enables a friendship to develop as the pair of you exercise.You
can also schedule regular walk "dates" with your partner and use the time to discuss questions without
being disturbed.
     Lets You See the World Around You
     Also, the best way to explore some of the world"s great cities-such as New York, London, Paris and
Rome-is on foot. Walking motivates the senses and enables you to enjoy a rich life around you.
Wordsworth, who is believed to have travelled around the world seven times during his lifetime, always
delighted in the truth that "going for a walk is an invitation for surprise".
    Here are some tips to get going:
    Get a walking partner and meet each week at a set time.
    Get a dog and you"ll have a constant walking companion.
    Choose a spot that is charming but accessible.
   Start with a soft walk, then increase the pace and distance.
   Include some hills and stairs.
    Use an umbrella if it rains: the worst that can happen is that you get wet!

阅读理解     Ask savvy investors(投资者) how they learned their first lessons about money, and they"ll probably
tell you lessons their parents taught them.
    The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching
your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here"s what you
can do:
     Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the
bank adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little
from every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set
up a matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves.
     Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how
businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the
businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available
at your library)to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that
caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly
investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock
market while saving for their college education.
      Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who
are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you"d
have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager!
      Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment
of their budget(预算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will
be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults.

1. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Why to Teach Your Children to Save
B. How to Teach Your Children to Save
C. Tips for Saving for Children
D. Start Good Saving Habits Early

2. A matching program means ________.
A. that you should set a good example to your children
B. that you should provide enough money for children so that they can save some
C. that you encourage your children to compete with each other in saving
D. that you encourage your children by giving some extra money for them to save

3. According to the author, you should teach your children about investment when he/she is ________.
A. in the kindergarten
B. in primary school

noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下
的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
     In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a
city grows.
     In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks
for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
      But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not.
