阅读理解。     What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school
subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at
mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good
at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially
strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects
can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most
jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This
is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
     Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in
your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery (烹饪术) and look for a job where you can
improve these skills.
     If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If
nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with
older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important,
you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
     Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle
(运用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face
any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too
good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead
recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.1. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?   A. The importance of doing well at school.
B. Using school performance to help to choose a career.
C. The importance of being good at all subjects.   
D. The indirect value of schoolwork. 2. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably _______.   A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study   
B. useful for his future work
C. a good way to earn extra money                   
D. a good way to find out his weak points   3. According to the passage, if a student"s school record is not good, he ________.   A. will be a complete failure in his future work     
B. will not be able to find a suitable job   
C. will regret not having worked harder at school   
D. may do well in his future work 4. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?   A. Mathematics.  
B. English.  
C. Technical drawing.  
D. History. 5. The whole passage centers on _______. A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
B. acquiring knowledge by working hard at school
C. finding one"s strong and weak points   
D. developing one"s abilities useful in school work

举一反三
阅读理解。     阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).
     A mobile phone service which makes your handset scream when it"s been stolen has been started,
with its makers claiming it could put an end to mobile theft altogether.
     The Remote XT system uses software to link customers" mobile phones directly to a secure remote
server, which stores all their data from phone numbers to text messages and e-mails. If the owner"s phone
is lost or stolen, they can dial a 24-hour call centre and have it registered. The handset is then disabled,
and cannot even be used if a new SIM card is put in. At the same time, the system sets off an alarm
sounding like a high-pitched(尖声的) scream, which can only be stopped by removing the battery.
     Existing data is also wiped off the phone but, because the information has been stored centrally,         
as soon as the victim gets a news phone, the system designers said.
     "By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner the phones become worthless and we
will see the market for stolen handsets stopped once and for all," said Mark Whiteman, managing
director of Remote XT. For the moment the system is aimed at business customers and comes with a
fee of 9.99 pounds per month, possibly available to the majority of average users within two years as
mobile technology advances.
      According to the latest UK government statistics, mobile phone theft has risen 190 percent in recent
years, with one third of all UK robberies now solely involving mobile phones.

                                How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?
     Mothers who feel their children don" t appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half
the time, their children are lying to them.A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that
undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations.Still, mums should feel better than
total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77 % of the time.
     Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked
77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whethe
r they lied at any time.DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead
someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.
     The students told an average of two lies a day.They said they had been studying when they had
been out drinking.One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would
send him extra money.Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were
pretty."They are everyday lies," says DePaulo.
     DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to.
College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time.
In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings,
rather than self-serving lies.
     Romantic partners are somewhere between close friends and acquaintances.Students lied to
romantic partners about a third of the time. DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty
than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance.
     Mothers can take heart from one other finding. They may have been lied to, but at least their children
talked to them.The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little
interaction with them.
1. According to the passage, college students felt closest to ______.
A. mothers            
B. best friends    
C. acquaintance        
D. romantic partners
2. Female students lied to their roommates to       .
A. get money from them          
B. offer them the services
C. gain more security      
D. make them happy
3. What is the purpose of this article?
A. To present a fact.              
B. To argue an idea.
C. To tell a story.            
D. To explain a theory.

     "How lucky you are to be a doctor…" Anyone who"s a doctor is right out of luck,  I thought.
Anyone_who"s_studying_medicine_should_have_his_head_examined.
     You may think I want to change my job. Well,  at the moment I do. As one of my friends says-even
doctors have a few friends-it"s all experience. Experience! I don"t need such experience. I need a
warm, comfortable and undisturbed bed all my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown
down the nearest well. That"s what I need.
     All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini(微型汽车) through the foggy streets of
East London at 3:45 am on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat
and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater
first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I
wish I were on the beach in southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will.
But don"t call me at half past three on a December morning for an earache that you have had for two
weeks.
     Of course,  being a doctor isn"t really all bad. We_do_have_our_moments. Once in a while people
are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you are given a cup of tea and rockhard cake at
two o"clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often "everything" is
a repetitious rule: look,  listen, feel, tap, pills, injection,  phone, ambulance and away to the next.
     And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed
service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand
in the cold, dark, smelly and dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh,  it has
its moments, and this life does.

A. a medical student should have a very good memory
B. a doctor must be mentally strong so that he can meet any difficult situation
C. the writer thinks that those who want to be doctors are crazy
D. to be a doctor is a challenge for people"s mental health

B. One of his friends says that being a doctor helps one gain all sorts of experience.
C. He hates the telephone as a modern means of communication.
D. He is not happy with the small and uncomfortable car he is driving.
3. The statement “We do have our moments.” could best be replaced by “________.”
A. We doctors are called at a moment’s notice to see people who need medical treatment
B. Usually we are glad that we can do something to help the sick
C. Sometimes we find people are thankful for our help
D. There are chances that doctors find their work rewarding and satisfying
4. From the whole passage we know that the writer ________.

B. is so dissatisfied with his job that he wishes to find a new one
C. is satisfied with his job but he hates to be called out unnecessarily
