18．When I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived．She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism．
Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009．I have found the place and people very nice and supportive．Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses．Determined to do this on my own，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job．However，I received little or no response．This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks．
One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there　were any job opportunities．The people there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner．
As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said，approached me and asked if I would wait outside．Fifteen minutes later，he returned．He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident．He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job．
I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along．Along the way，I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume（簡歷）．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies．He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him，a call if I ever needed anything．I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied．The following day，I received：call from．store in Royal Oak offering me a job．
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it．And this time，it was acomplete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing．

3．The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health．Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat，it has，at the same time，made many foods unfit to eat．Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of human illness is related to food and 40% of cancer is related to food as well．That food is related to illness is not a new discovery．In 1945，some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加劑）caused cancer．
Yet，these additives remain in our food，and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包裝）of foods are helpful or harmful．The additives which we eat are not all so direct．Farmers often give penicillin to their animals，and because of this，penicillin has been found in the milk of cows．Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health，but just to make a profit．
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market．Although some countries have tried to control such things，the practice continues．
1．According to this passage，we can knowB．
A．science has made food unfit to eat
B．perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat
C．perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
D．cancer was discovered in 1945
2．Things that are used to keep colours in meats areB．
A．delicious                             B．harmful　　　　　　　  
C．useless                               D．helpless   
3．Which of the following is NOT true？A
A．We needn't take care of what we eat．
B．Some wrappings of food are harmful．
C．Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals．
D．"The practice continues"means"things are still going on like that"．
4．All the additivesD．
A．have direct effects on our health
B．a(chǎn)re bright and colourless
C．a(chǎn)re not bright and colourful
D．have indirect effects on our health．

10．One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes．It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like"I was wrong about that，"and it is even harder to say，"I was wrong，and you were right about that．"
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago．He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up，and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （in many countries，eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons．） Then he related an incident （event，matter） and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing．
I was about eight years old at the time．I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping．On that particular day，I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place．
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons．The cartons were put three or four feet high．I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons．Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons．For some reason，I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together，so I went to work．
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened．When he appeared，I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken，but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it．He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs．I tried to explain，but it did no good．Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident，it is plain that the manager did not．
5．Which is the correct order of the following？D
a．I forgot all about the incident．
b．I went into the store．
c．A woman knocked off the egg cartons．
d．I stood in front of the egg cartons．
e．The manager reminded me of the incident．
f．The manager didn't believe my explanation．
g．I picked up the unbroken eggs．
A．b； d； g； c； a； f； e   
B．b； d； c； g； f； e； a      
C．b； c； d；g； e； f； a     
D．b； d； c； g； f； a； e
6．The word"reprimanded"in the last paragraph most exactly means"B"．
A．frightened         B．scolded          C．warned           D．comforted
7．The best title for this passage should beA．
A．A Case of Mistake                
B．The Manager I Never Forget
C．The Manager and I                
D．An Incident 15 Years Ago．

    You can't always be in control of everything．（36）ABut if you want to continue to grow，you should give up your control on everything．You can still work hard for greatness，but put the work in and then let go．
