So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small emerald (绿宝石). The man took it and gave it to the first person to e by, a woman.Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked. The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last! At last someone has broken the spell of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and youre the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here ”“And why does this happen?” the man asked.“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts bee empty, as does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.56. Why did the man give up his job, home and friends?A. Because he possessed a variety of treasure.B. Because he devoted himself to a great test.C. Because he wanted to find the treasure cave.D. Because he had to guard the treasure cave.57.

What do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before?A. They all found the cave empty at last.B. The old man freed them from its spell.C. They all filled the cave with the treasure they had.D. They thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.59. What can we learn from the text?A. Different people have different views.B. Treasure only belongs to those who possess it.C. Some people never learn what is really valuable.D. Giving makes people healthier and happier than owing.BWhile you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.THE RESUME - Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews. COVERING LETTERS - Maybe youve set up a few basic styles in advance, but thats not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.THE WARDROBE(衣橱) - Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interview. NETWORKING - Dont isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from being depressed.APPLICATION - A glance at huge online job sites isnt usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking. THE FOLLOWUP - It is quite mon to apply for job and never hear back from the pany. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the pany, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.INTERVIEWS - If youve got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you cant afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.SUPPORT SYSTEMS - Finally, recognize that looking for job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.60. The authors purpose of writing this text is to _.A. suggest graduates should find suitable jobs B. give people some tips on searching for jobsC. tell people how to improve their interview skillsD. teach people how to get ready for an interview61. The underlined word “scrutinize” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by _.A. check B. use C. rewrite D. criticize62. Which of the following methods is wrong according to the text?A. You should have your resume read by your friends after finishing it.B. You should create different covering letters for the different jobs you apply for.C. Searching online is the most effective way to look for a job.D. You should wear appropriate professional clothes and shoes for the interview.63. What should you do if you dont receive any calls after lots of interviews?A. Carefully review your interviewing skills.B. Ask a fellow job seeker to help you.C. Rewrite your resume as soon as possible.D. Go to the managers offices to find out why.64. It is implied in the text that_.A. people often pay no attention to writing their resumeB. the interview is the most difficult step for intervieweesC. a career coach often offers free mock interviews to intervieweesD. your social network may help you a lot in your job huntCMen have long been puzzled by the amount women pack, when they go on holiday. They despair(绝望）as they watch their beloved spend much money on extra baggage charge. Nearly half of these women admitted to lying about the weight of their case to their partner before leaving for the airport, in fear of being made to unload some unnecessary items. But its a fact that women pack more than they need. On average, a woman needs around 57 items in suitcase for a two-week holiday, yet most women pack nearer to 150 items, ranging from skirts, tops, underwear and high heels. In addition, women pack more sun cream, make-up and hair appliances than they were likely to need. They all take up space in the suitcase, only a third of them will see the light of day once at the holiday place. 79 percent of women admitted to taking extra items with them, with the reason for this being “just in case”. Women plan their holiday wardrobe(衣橱）months in advance. Packing enough clothes and other items to last a month is not enough for some women. Theyd take a chance to shop for new items while holidaying abroad. So theyll return with even more luggage in their cases. Professor Karen Pine said: “Women are tempted to take familiar items with them on holiday, often everything except the kitchen sink. Some people find traveling stressful, particularly when theyre unsure about the home forts available at their holiday place. They over-pack to help cope with those feelings of stress and reduce the uncertainty.” This will e as no surprise to some men, who are used to trying to squeeze their partners luggage into the boot of the car with their own, smaller case. On the other hand, men pack very lightly, with only an average of 40 items for a two-week holiday.65. The best title for the text would be_. A. Women are good at picking holiday suitcase. B. Women over-pack by two third when on holiday. C. Women will go shopping every time they go on holiday. D. Women take good care of themselves while holidaying.66. How many items will a woman pack for a 2-week holiday?A. 57 items B.79 items C. 97 items D. 150 items67. Women pack too much on holiday because_.A. they want to show off their items B. they prefer a more fortable holidayC. they are afraid theyll need them during the holiday D. they would like to clean their clothes wardrobe very much68. How does a man feel about his wife packing too much?A. Opposed B. Supportive C. Positive D. Concerned69. What do Dr Pines words imply?A. Going on holiday will cost a lot. B. Women dont prefer to go on a holiday.C. People tend to feel tired and stressed on holiday. D. Its understandable that women over-pack in a sense.D“Only connect” said the British novelist E.M. Forster. But how exactly do we reach out to strangers?We may get some inspiration from a wildly popular blog called Humans of New York. Since its xx launch, it has accumulated millions of followers on social media and is now a bestselling book.Brandon Santon, 30, is the creator of the blog. He has made it a habit of approaching people on the streets of New York City and asking them for a photograph and a chat. He has managed to get thousands of plete strangers to open up to him with personal stories of their friendships, struggles, fears, loves and losses.In a recent talk he gave at University College Dublin, Ireland, Stanton explained how to strike up a relationship with strangers. A piece of important advice is that reaching out to strangers is all about the energy.Actually, what you say isnt really important. Socializing is not about showing off how well you can speak. Stanton says he realized that “after repeated attempts, it had not much to do with the words I was saying. Its all about the energy that youre giving off”. The worst energy you can give off is nervousness, Stanton said. Be calm and try to “turn the atmosphere of fear, strangeness and unfortableness into an atmosphere of intimacy”. When starting a conversation, keep it simple. Try beginning with an experience that you and the stranger are both experiencing together. Breaking the ice is easier when you can create a connection with the stranger.And dont be afraid of rejection. Confidence cant be taught in a classroom, Stanton says. You have to earn it. People also subconsciously evaluate you according to how you act, he added. So practice, practice and practice.Challenge yourself to talk to one stranger a day, every day, for 30 days. If youre walking past someone on the sidewalk, say “Hi”. Even if he or she doesnt stop for a chat, your job is done for that day. This exercise will help you get used to talking to people you dont know and form the habit of being more social. 70. What is the best title of the passage? A. Friends benefit us in general. B. How to municate with others? C. How to break the ice with strangers? D. Strangers offer help to us sometimes.71. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A.
