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. 4. By listening and observing, you can

A. change a part of the environment you work in

B. show your creative talents to your colleagues

C. prevent yourself from making any mistake

D. learn the collective experience from your co-workers

1、Passage 18Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow
these suggestions.
A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes.
Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You‘ll not only save money, but you‘ll
also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students —
many colleges have ―ride boards‖ that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many
radio stations provide the same sort of service — they announce who‘s driving where, when, how
many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.
There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide
for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can
stay for only a few dollars a night.
You don‘t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don‘t recommend a diet of candy and
cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm,
you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner
you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.
5. To save money, you can ________.

A. 　have more candy and cola

B. 　invite your friends for a picnic

C. 　take some food with you

D. 　eat in restaurants sometimes

1、Passage 7Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields toward the sun. The flashes reflected
light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other
Greek soldiers could understand the message.
Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to
send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and soldiers with
loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.
In Africa, people learn to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum
was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way
that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great
speed for hundreds of miles.
In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this
way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing
different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.
Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not
until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speeches
sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds5. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. 　Shields and Drums

B. 　Audio and Visible Signs

C. 　Ways of Sending Messages over History

D. 　Messages in Different Countries
