1、Passage 14Shortly 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. 3. Which is NOT the reason why a new comer talking about ―better ways‖ will be met with
negative reactions?

A. The new comer hasn‘t won enough trust.

B. The new comer doesn‘t understand much about his old co-workers‘ ways of doing things.

C. The new comer usually poses a threat to the old co-workers.

D. People, by nature, always regard changes as a kind of threat.

1、Passage 5Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to
buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,
they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as
money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.
In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of
Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the
center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have
used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin.
Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins
of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper
money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
1. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for
services?

A. 　To sell a bicycle for $20.

B. 　To get some money for old books at a garage sale.

C. 　To buy things you need or want.

D. 　To get paid for your work.
