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 know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may
not have any specially strong 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. A 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 metalwork or cookery 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
tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness
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(认错的) about it but instead recognize that
you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
B. Choosing a career according to one"s strengths.
C. How to face one"s weakness.
D. The value of school work.
B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study
B. will be regretful about his bad results
C. may also do well in his future work
D. should restart his study in school
B. be skillful in doing things
C. be not interested in certain things
D. be easily bored in doing things

pupil in her grade. Isn"t it often the same in schools of our real world?
"It"s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class
leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams," said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school.
By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school"s sports club
and a winner in national English and IT competitions.
But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?
In Sun Yunxiao"s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is"more suited to
girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read." Yet he also says that girls have to do so
much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great
pressure nearly every day.
This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also
reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.
"Let"s look at what we ask of our teenage girls," says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks
that it"s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and
everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection.
Today"s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other
activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars."Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be
athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect." Stephen Hinshaw sums up.
B. teenage girls shouldn"t be so perfect at school
C. boys are always lazy ones rather than girls
D. American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls
B. boys usually don"t have so much pressure as girls do
C. girls are all fond of the Chinese education system
D. girls are better at school because boys don"t work hard
B. misunderstand
C. like
D. defeat
B. Why Are Girls So Perfect?
C. Perfect? Pressure Every Day!
D. Perfect: Boys or Girls?
the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing
songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do
the same.
Some vocabulary used in songs is not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song
lyrics when you speak. Most words and sentences, though, are very useful. You don"t have to sing songs
aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at
the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something valuable that you will never forget!
Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not
too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe"s favorite singer,
B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of"Why I Sing the Blues", you are a
very advanced student.
If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends.
When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you don"t sing so beautifully, you will really
impress other people!
B. remember new words
C. impress other people
D. overcome our shyness
B. John Denver"s voice is beautiful
C. the lyrics of the songs can move us
D. the lyrics are close to normal spoken English
B. excellent
C. kind-hearted
D. lazy
B. The Famous Band-The Beatles.
C. English Songs helps English Learning
D. How to Learn English.

just don"t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.
Think twice before you decide
The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go a long way toward
stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian (素食的) diet. If you aren"t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies known to use practices that
go against the law such as using drugs to increase milk production in cows.
Help get the word out
Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your
car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues that are related to animals. Give
some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we"re facing. Turn
to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.
Write a letter
We"ve all heard the saying," The pen is more powerful than the sword". Put this idea to the protection of
animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know
you are angry about them, and that you won"t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters
to state and local legislators (立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that
protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
Be more loving
If you"re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal
house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an
animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to
those who are responsible for taking care of pitiful animals.
Let your actions be an example to others
It may sound simple,but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You
should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures with respect. Care about your pets and
look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)
that protects animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

| A lazy Susan is an addition to a table that is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is achieved through the use of a turntable (转盘), which usually moves the food in a circle when it is pushed by those at the table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place on the lazy Susan. A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (橱柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis (轴心). One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside. It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called "dumbwaiter" at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留声机). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later. Regardless of who invented it, it wasn"t until 1917 that the term"lazy Susan" was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term"dumbwaiter" is still used rather than"lazy Susan". The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson"s or Edison"s daughter, both of whom were named Susan. | |
