With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you're in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I'd like to pass on a few lessons that you didn't necessarily get in school. If you've been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
· Develop relationships and keep networking, if I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I've met, I'd say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they'll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
· Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you'll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don't set goals and determine where you're going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激勵)to keep you going all day.
· Sense of humor. I'm a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional(非傳統(tǒng)的), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
· Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
67. By saying "your real education is just beginning", the author wants to
A. explain why it's difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education
C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter (遭遇)
68. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because______.
A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change
C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships
69. The author believes that being humorous means that you_______.
A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way
C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed
D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion
70. The target readers of this passage are probably_______.
A. educational experts
B. people who want to change jobs
C. college graduates who have just left school
D. high school students who are still at school

Recently we asked how you felt about calculators (計算器) at school. We heard from about thirty people in twelve countries, including a large number of Chinese.
Turbo Zhang writes, "My brain is slow because I have a calculator everywhere, on my mobile phone, on my computer, etc. New technology makes us use everything except our brains."
Joony Zhu says calculators can provide us with answers we may not completely understand. As a student at an engineering college in China, he calls using a calculator "a kind of laziness".
Khaled Hamza from Cairo says calculators have a bad effect because "you don’t need to make an effort to get a result."
Hemin, a math teacher in Kurdistan-Iraq, says good math skills are life skills. So he believes in solving problems with a pencil until high school. "You should take the trouble to work out problems without calculators. Then you come to respect the power of these machines."
But He Wenbo from China says calculators reduce careless mistakes. "When I was young we couldn’t use calculators. But when I entered high school we had to solve a lot of math problems. The calculator made my homework easier."
Michel says, "My handheld calculator has been important in my studies and even in my life." But he also advises, "As we’re enjoying using calculators, be careful to avoid their bad effects."

I grew depressed (沮喪的), even as my husband Charlie’s career skyrocketed. He was a NASA astronaut. I was excited for him when he began training to go to the moon, and I involved (潛心于) myself with the flight as much as possible, but I was really looking forward to it being over. Inside I was hoping that once he got this goal behind him, he would put me first.
But he didn’t. He still had that workaholic(工作狂) drive. He was still following a list of goals which I was still down near the bottom of. I considered breaking up but I wondered if any man could love me the way I wanted to be loved. Was there even such a thing as the perfect marriage? I didn’t wish it anymore. However, in his eyes, our marriage certainly hadn’t delivered any satisfaction, so within several years we were heading full-speed toward breaking up.
I began to look for other things to satisfy me. I tried a career. I tried church work. I helped the needy. Nothing worked. I even tried drugs, but they didn’t work either. I thought, maybe there was no purpose in life. Didn’t that seem strange? I was married to a famous man, had a nice home and healthy children, plenty of money, yet I had no hope.
I also discovered God, and I believed He wanted to change me. I found He wanted me to forgive Charlie, so I tried that, although I felt it was impossible. But over a two-month period, God freed me of my anger and helped me love Charlie unconditionally.
58. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A. Charlie’s goals were different from mine
B. Charlie was after many goals in his life, but I was still the last one in his heart
C. Charlie was always very busy with his work and paid no attention to me
D. Charlie achieved many goals with my help
59. According to the passage, what can we infer from the marriage between Charlie and his wife?
A. It was a mistake to marry Charlie.
B. There is no such a thing as a perfect marriage.
C. It was God that helped them love each other again.
D. Their marriage was saved because of the wife’s forgiveness.
60. What’s the author’s attitude towards her marriage in the end?
A. Positive.    B. Puzzling.    C. Negative.    D. Indifferent.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, he said, “is for Elizabeth” 。
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, the little interest, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my desk, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
31. The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
A. after Mother died             B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child          D. when Mother gave it to her
32. The passage shows about _______.
A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
33. The word “gulf” in the 4th paragraph means _______.
A. part of the sea going far in land
B. free talks between mother and daughter
C. different ideas between the mother and daughter
D. deep understanding between the old and the young
34. What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. She read the letter again and again till she died.
C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
D. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. My letter to Mother                 B. Mother and children
C. My Mother’s Desk                  D. Talks between Mother and Me

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons。 “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered。 “It must be to the cleverest son。 But which one is the cleverest?”
He called his three sons to him。 “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room。 Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune�！�
“It is a big room,” said the eldest son。
“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son。
But the youngest son said nothing。 He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “l(fā)et us go to the market�！�
The eldest son bought straw with his coin。 But one coin bought only a bit of straw。 Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room。
The second son bought sand with his coin。 But one coin bought only a bit of sand。 Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor。

“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily。 “You don't have any sand�！�
“I bought this,” said the youngest son。
“A candle！” cried his brothers。 “What good is a candle?”
“Watch”, said the youngest son。
He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor。 It was filled with light!
“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said。
And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light。
