6-2 New year, new goal! For the past five years, I made the same promise to myself every spring: “I am going to get into shape”. Each year, I promised myself that I was going to lose weight and go down two dress sizes, so that I would look good (or at least normal) on the beach. However, it was the same story every year. Just two weeks after I’d made the resolution, I went back to my old bad habits. This year I decided to do things differently. I realized that my goal of dropping two dress sizes was unrealistic, and probably even unhealthy. When I examined my goal, I decided that it was too short-sighted to be meaningful. Why would I work so hard for just two weeks on the beach? When I thought about it, I realized it was more important to be healthy and strong than to look slim. Examining and changing my goal made a big difference. Instead of trying to lose weight, a friend and I decided we’d run a marathon in July. We planned our exercise schedule together, which was really motivating. We ate healthily, without worrying about our weight. Instead of obsessing about how we looked, we focused on our running performance. So, what happened? Not only did I manage to run the marathon, I also went down a dress size. What did I take away from this experience? What we think we need isn’t always what’s good for us. It pays to examine our goals. 58. How did the writer change her goal?

A. 　 She decided to drop two dress sizes.

B. 　 She decided to run a marathon.

C. 　 She decided to eat more healthily.

D. 　 She decided to go to an exercise class.

3-1 Internships are a great way for graduates to get valuable work experience. However， they don’t always go smoothly. To find out more about potential internship problems， and how to solve them， read on. Being given trivial work For ambitious interns， being given small tasks such as making tea can be very frustrating. Just remember that all tasks， no matter how small， are important to your company’s success. Complete these tasks as well as you can—you will soon be given more interesting things to do. Feeling worried about asking questions It can be hard to ask questions when everybody else seems to know exactly what they＇re doing. However， everybody knows that you are an intern and they do not expect you to know everything. So， focus on what you need to know and ask the questions you need to ask. Getting too much work Some companies hire fewer interns than they need. This can result in your feeling overworked. Speak to your manager if think you have too much to do. Perhaps the problem is your poor time management skills， and in this case， your manager will help you to become more organized. Or， if you have been given too much work， they will try to reduce it. Finally remember that starting a new job is always challenging， but with time it becomes easier. Keep a positive attitude and you will soon settle into your new role. 23. What is the writer’s advice about asking questions?

A. 　 Never ask any questions.

B. 　 Ask the questions you need to.

C. 　 If possible， try not to ask questions.

D. 　 Ask as many questions as you want to.

4-1 Do you often feel stressed out on a Sunday night? Do you dream of how much better your life would be if you had a different job? And are you jealous of your friends’ careers， which always sound much better than yours? If you recognise any of the above， you probably need a career change. The question is， how are you going to go about getting one? First of all， think about what you’d rather do. Deciding what you like and dislike in your current job is a good starting point. Once you have a good idea of what you want to do， it＇s time to upgrade your skill set. Think about what you are able to do and how this matches the career you are interested in. For example， you may be interested in a career as a tour guide. Which skills does a tour guide need? Which of these do you have， and which do you need to work on developing? Finally， set yourself some goals， both long and short term. Write a list in which you include your goals for the year， the next six months and then the next six weeks. It can be a good idea to share the goals you have made with a friend， as this can help you to stay motivated. Changing your career is not always easy， but life is too short to stay in a job which does not make us happy and which does not fully utilise our skills. 35. Why should you share any goals you make with a friend?

A. 　 Your friend can tell her boss， and it might help you find a job.

B. 　 Your friend might have the same goals as you.

C. 　 This will help you to stay motivated.

D. 　 Your friend may be able to help you find better goals.

3-2 Dressing for success Until recently， I had never thought about how important our work clothes are. However， this changed when I arrived for my first day of work at my new job. The first thing I noticed was that the receptionist was wearing jeans. Then I met my boss， who was wearing shorts and trainers. Most of my other colleagues were similarly dressed. At first， I felt happy to work in such a relaxed environment， but after a few days， I realized something. People were always checking their social media and eating food at their desks. One colleague even fell asleep sometimes. I am ambitious， and this wasn’t the way I wanted to work. Then I had an idea. I had read about how wearing smart clothes can make people work harder， and I wanted to see if it was true. I remembered that some workplaces let staff come to work in casual clothes on Fridays. I suggested to my boss that our workplace do the opposite， asking staff to dress smartly on Fridays. The first “dress smart” Friday my colleagues looked so smart! And guess what? They seemed to work harder too. Suddenly， it felt like that my workplace was a more energetic place to be. My colleagues noticed the difference—and so did my boss， because three Fridays later， she suggested staff come to work smartly dressed every day. Now my colleagues and I always dress smartly， and as a result， I think our team is happier and more productive. 26. What did the writer notice on the first day of her new job?

A. 　 Her colleagues were very friendly.

B. 　 Her colleagues were dressed very casually.

C. 　 Her colleagues seemed to be overworked.

D. 　 Her colleagues were often late for work.

10-2 The benefits of flexible working Many job applicants cite paid vacation, health insurance and a good salary as being most important to them in a job. However, an increasing number of employers now offer flexible working. So, what could flexible working mean for you? Put simply, flexible working means that you, the employee, have some say over when you work. This could mean working from home for some of the time, job-sharing, or working flexitime (adapting your working hours to suit your own life, for example, starting later and finishing later). Flexible working can have many benefits. For example, it can reduce the time you spend travelling to work. If you work 9 to 5 every day, you will be travelling to and from work when the roads are busy. You might be surprised at how much shorter your journey is if you travel to work at 10am instead of 8am. A flexible working schedule can reduce employees’ stress and improve their work-life balance. A recent survey in The Business Times showed that 20 percent of working people are stressed by family relationships and the difficulty of managing their personal and private lives. Working flexibly can allow employees to switch off from their work when they need to, and to spend more quality time with their families. Improved work-life balance can give you more energy, and this will make you more productive when you are at work, leading to increased job satisfaction. So, next time you are job hunting, consider adding flexible working to your wish list. 96. Which sentence best describes the purpose of this article?
