6-1 Be your own life coach! The demand for life coaches has grown in recent years， with many celebrities claiming that their lives have been improved by a few sessions of coaching. So， what does a life coach do， and can they change your life for the better? Life coaches claim to be able to help their clients work towards achieving their goals. Sue Berry， a life coach， says， “As a qualified life coach， I have several different clients now. Basically， I help people to feel better about their life， work and relationships. Many clients come to me feeling very unhappy. By asking them questions and listening carefully to their answers， I help them move forwards and achieve goals that they could never have dreamed of achieving themselves.” Life coaching is a multi-million-dollar industry， with many life coaches charging hundreds of dollars for a session. Is it worth it? Not everyone thinks so. Melvyn Clark， a careers advisor at Leicester University， thinks that people should take responsibility for their own destiny. He says， “People spend lots of money on getting advice from professionals. In fact， there’s a belief that the more you spend， the less you actually have to do by yourself. Well， I believe that if you want to make real changes in your life， it has to come down to you. Spending hundreds to talk to someone else about your problems will only empty your bank account.” What do you think? Would you pay someone to help you get some direction in your life? 54.

A. 　 He helps people to achieve their personal goals.

B. 　 He listens to people’s problems.

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.

5-2 We all know that employers check out the social media accounts of potential candidates， but did you know that they also look at staff accounts? Three months ago， I had just started a job in a restaurant. The first Saturday I worked there we had a staff shortage as quite a few people were off ill. At lunch time， I was left to serve about 20 customers by myself! As you can imagine， service was slow， and a few customers were quite rude to me. By the end of the day， I had a terrible headache， sore feet and was in a very bad mood. I just wanted to let off some steam， so I went home and wrote a blog post about the terrible day I＇d had. It was supposed to be funny， but I did bad-mouth some of the customers， especially a large woman wearing a purple coat who had shouted at me because her coffee was cold. Then I shared the blog post to my social media accounts. That was a big mistake. I had forgotten that I was friends with my boss on social media. Unfortunately for me， the woman in the purple coat who I had described in my blog post turned out to be his wife! I was called into my boss’ office and fired the next day. What did I learn from this? Never write anything negative about your work on social media: it will always come back to bite you. 48. Why was there a staff shortage?

A. 　 The boss couldn’t afford to pay a lot of staff.

B. 　 The boss had fired a lot of staff.

C. 　 A lot of staff members were ill.

D. 　 Nobody wanted to work there.
