2. Passage 2 Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them， for example， was the great Italian artist， Leonardo Da Vinci. In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly， but they were never built. Throughout history， other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead， he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace. The first real step took place in France， in 1783. Two brothers， the Montgolfiers， made a very large ―hot air balloon‖. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year， the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later， two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman( ).

A. 　made a kind of flying machine

B. 　tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers

C. 　wanted to build a kind of balloon

D. 　tried to fly on a large bird

5. Passage 14 Shortly after graduation， it is time for you to start the next phase of your life. You will begin your first “real job.” Generally speaking， most of what you have learned in school will not prepare you for this. There is a big difference between being a student and being an employee. Certainly， more will be expected of you. The best career-related advice I ever received came from my former boss on my first day of work. She told me to listen and observe before suggesting any changes. I took that advice and have used it in other situations， both in and out of the workplace. While innovation is a good thing， it is important to be mindful of dynamics of the workplace. If you are entering an environment where routines are already in place， a newcomer walking in and talking about “better ways” to do things， will often be met with negative reactions. Why? First， you know nothing about why they do things the way they do. Second， you haven＇t gained the trust of your co-workers. Finally， people， by nature， are threatened by changes. By listening and observing， you will gain a lot. You will learn about the environment of which you are now a part. You will find out more about the people you are working with. You may save yourself from making a major， public mistake—you are the new kid on the block while your co-workers have been around longer. You can learn from their collective experience. This passage is useful in helping you.

A. 　to find a job as quickly as possible

B. 　tofind a satisfactory first ―real‖ job

C. 　to get promoted soon

D. 　to leave a good impression on your co-workers

2. Passage 10 Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course， not all bosses are like that. The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader， he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development. Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss? The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss‘s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations， ask! Likewise， ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5， he may be more likely to help you. In short， getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style. In the second paragraph， ―rise up the career ladder‖ (Line 2) means ( ).

A. 　 going to work abroad

B. 　 changing jobs frequently

C. 　 being promoted in position

D. 　 pursuing an advanced degree

2. Passage 16 Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people， but I also explain that there‘s a big difference between ―being a writer‖， and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame， not the long hours alone at a typewriter. ―You‘ve got to want to write，‖ I say to them， ―not want to be a writer.‖ The reality is that writing is a lonely， private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune， there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer， I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a place in a New York apartment building. It didn‘t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so， however， I still hadn‘t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn‘t going to be one of those people who die wondering – what if I would keep putting my dream to the last even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope， and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. 　 Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

B. 　 A writer‘s success depends on luck rather than on effort.

C. 　 Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.

D. 　 The chances for a writer to become successful are small.

3. Passage 17 Since we are social beings， the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses， from depression to heart disease， reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness， and the absence of such support makes poor health likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First， friends， relatives， and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second， other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third， we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally， other people may give us instrumental support ― financial aid， material resources and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word ―cushions‖ (Para. 2) ( )?

A. 　Lays the foundation for.

B. 　Lessens the effect of.

C. 　Adds up to.

D. 　Does away with.

2. Passage 6 Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who‘ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching， that is， tutoring in Math and English. You‘d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose help a child with Math， English， or both.

Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors ---- he‘ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I‘m sure you will enjoy this community service and you‘ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume， too， showing that you‘ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you‘d like to sign up， or if you have any questions， stop by Professor Dodge‘s office this week. What is the purpose of the program that the passage describes?

4. Passage 9 What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage. Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts. From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the last chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak into the room. On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall. Open the window so that( )if the building is on fire.
