It’s often true that jobs for students sometimes lead to employment after graduation, so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.
During my entire college life I worked as a bartender （酒吧招待）. I have to say that I really enjoyed that job, and was fond of the idea of making money without doing too much work. I also had the opportunity to socialize （ 交際） while working. I came to be known among the upper class, and gradually became popular on campus because of my job. However, working as a bartender can have the negative side that people tend to think that you enjoy drinking.
All in all, I wish I had thought more carefully before deciding to take that job. I got a Bachelor’s degree （學(xué)士學(xué)位）in English, qualifying（使···有資格） me to work as a writer, but so far I have only been able to use the skills I learned from that part-time job.
It would be different if I had searched for jobs related to writing or editing（編輯） instead of bartending. It’s commonly accepted that employment for students is only temporary （臨時(shí)的），but we should never forget that it can connect to the work we get after we graduate. After all, employers not only look at the degree, but also your previous experience.
So before getting a part-time job while you’re at school, consider what you want to do for the rest of your life.
小題1:Which of the following is a benefit（好處）of working as a bartender for the author?
A．He had a good time after school.
B．He made connect with many people.
C．He satisfied his curiosity about others.
D．He had learned how to make wine.
小題2:The underline word “negative” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ _______”.

A．describe his part-time job during his college life
B．tell students to be careful with their part-time jobs
C．convince（使確信）students that bartender is the part-time job
D．a(chǎn)dvise students to look for their future jobs in the college

Opened in 1971, the Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day. If  you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July.
If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.
Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (預(yù)訂). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table for your tour. If you can’t get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.
Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有軌電車), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom.
小題1:We learn from the passage that ______.
A．children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Year’s Day

The necktie looks set to follow the top hat in being handed over to the fashion museum by office workers within the next 50 years, according to research.
Nearly three quarters (74%) think the tie will not survive within British firms beyond the next half a century with the popularity of the open-collared shirt. Its demise is being blamed on the boom in creative businesses, such as Facebook and Google, and online trading companies where formal dress codes tend to be avoided in favour of a more casual approach.
Once considered an important part of business dress, the tie has become a victim of the spread of "casual Fridays" into other weekdays, according to researchers.
The poll, by Deal Jungle. com, which helps small and medium enterprises, found more than half (51% ) thought the tie would die out in offices within the next 20 years and almost a quarter (22%) believed it would last less than 10 years.
A spokesman for the site, which has 20, 000 registered members, said: "Ties have been around seemingly forever but increasing numbers of office workers are telling them to get away."

"The success of businesses such as Facebook and Google, where even the CEO turns up wearing jeans and a hoodie, also seems to have had a corrosive (侵蝕性) effect on the idea of dressing formally for work."
"Many of our members keep their expenses to a minimum by working from home so they feel no need to dress up to go to work. We know that when they meet with clients, they still put on a business suit, but a tie is no longer seen as an essential part of the suited-and-booted look."
"Instead, many businessmen and increasing numbers of executives choose a suit and shirt with an open collar. The tie-less suit creates an impression of a more approachable deal maker, someone who is still business-minded, yet creative and technology-sensible, too. "
小題1:Why are ties expected to disappear in offices?
A．CEOs in creative businesses set a rule to forbid wearing ties.
B．The idea of casual weekdays is increasingly accepted.
C．Office workers are tired of wearing ties daily.
D．The tie-less look appears more modern.
小題2:According to the spokesman, how are their members dressed before clients?
A．Business suits and casual jeans.
B．Formal suits and a shirt with a tie.
C．Casual suits and buttoned-up shirt.
D．Business suits and an open-collared shirt.
小題3:What kind of image does the tie-less suit create?
A．Accessible in business.B．Professional in fashion.
C．Casual in working.D．Creative in dressing.
小題4:What does the underlined word "demise" mean in Para.2?
A．popularityB．survivalC．disappearanceD．development

Honesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze(注視) of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but photographed.
Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a cupboard of mugs above an-honesty box alongside a kettle ,with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks, they alternated each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers.
Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. They effect may arise from behavioral characteristics that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of survival. Individuals had to co-operate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly.
"If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we're being watched we should behave better, so people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us, "Dr. Bateson said.
"We thought we'd get a slight effect with eyes, but it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious(潛意識(shí)的) level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(進(jìn)化) to respond to."
The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could promote ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.
小題1:This passage is mainly about _______________.
A．the policy of honesty
B．a(chǎn)n honesty box to collect money
C．evolution on honesty
D．a(chǎn)n experiment on honesty
小題2:The reason for doing the experiment secretly is that the researchers _____________.
A．wanted to get a comparatively more exact result
B．had known they wanted to do something illegally
C．meant to get the co-operation of their colleagues
D．intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher price
小題3:People behave honestly under watchful gaze of eyes because _____________.
A．they want to leave a good impression
B．they fear to be laughed at by others
C．they've got the nature through evolution
D．they take the photo for a real pair of eyes
小題4:The underlined phrase" sheds light on" in the last paragraph means _____.
A．causes somebody to become cheerful
B．makes something easier to understand
C．comes upon something by accident
D．brings something into the broad daylight

“A very disruptive（擾亂型的）six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand.” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight but was kicked，” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves(涉及) parents.
Every child, regardless of(不管) the surroundings into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential. And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to teachers. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the toilet properly.
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being addicted to computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute (代替)parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting limits to their children’s behavior and sticking to those limits when things get tough(困難). They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.
小題1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A．The school violence.
B．The pressure of students’ learning.
C．The right to achieve students’ potential.
D．the responsibilities of the students.
小題2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be ________.
A．dissatisfiedB．unconcernedC．understandingD．tolerant(容忍的)
小題3:The underlined part in Para 4 may means__________.
A．parents and children live in their separate rooms
B．parents care little about children’s life at home
C．children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D．children spent little time with their parents at home
小題4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.
A．schools can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
B．teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
C．parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
D．students are responsible for making themselves known in society

Bringing Art into Hospitals.
The medical world is slowly realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to recover(康復(fù)).
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country’s best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard, modern buildings. Of the 2500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have collections of art in passages(走廊), waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent movements were first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970’s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by more people.
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5000 visitors each week. What a good place to hold exhibitions(展覽) of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is amazing. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitors experience a full view of fresh colors, playful images(形象) and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that a patient who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with(與……相比) patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
小題1:Some best artists of Britain have been called in to_____
A．set up new hospitals
B．make the corners of hospital collect paintings
C．bring art into hospitals
D．help patients recover from serious illness
小題2:After the improvement of the hospital environment, _____
A．patients no longer take drugs to kill their pains
B．patients don’t have to stay long in hospital
C．patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illness
D．patients feel happy in hospital
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that_____
A．the role of hospital environment is being recognized
B．hospital artists have done more than doctors
C．exhibitions attract more people in hospitals than in museums
D．the hospitals is a better place for people than the museum in Britain

Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience.
"People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks," says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. "They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring, so they jump out," he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center. Any strong emotion —quarrels with colleagues, problems at home —can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, "Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly." This can "blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus."
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors. "Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness," Mr. Bregman says. "You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it." Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it's overly ambitious, you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. "Choosing three or four things as your priority for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus," he says.
小題1:According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from their work?
A．They don't want to be devoted to their work.
B．They are disturbed by the Internet and other things.
C．They can't find interest in their work.
D．They feel their work is too hard for them.
小題2:Which incident might NOT interrupt your attention?
A．You were scolded by your teacher.
B．You had words with your good friend.
C．You went to school at six as usual.
D．Your mother and father had a quarrel.
小題3:What's the meaning of the underlined word "restore" in the passage?
A．recoverB．reformC．releaseD．react
小題4:According to Robert Epstein, how can we refocus on what we should do?
A．Listen to rock music for some time.
B．Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.
C．Run around the playground for some time.
D．Take a breath from time to time.
