Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.

One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City,Calif.,to New Orleans.In the middle of the desert,I came upon a young man standing by the roadside.He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand.I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you’d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need.Now you are a fool for helping.With gangs,drug addicts,murderers,rapists,thieves lurking everywhere,“I don’t want to get involved” has become a national motto.
Several states later I was still thinking about the hitch­hiker.Leaving him standing in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.
Does anyone stop any more?I wondered.I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line:“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”.Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days?One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money,relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans.What kind of Americans would he find?Who would feed him,shelter him,carry him down the road?
The idea intrigued me.
The week I turned 37,I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life.So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar.I would only accept offers of rides,food and a place to rest my head.My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina,a symbol of all the fears I’d have to conquer during the trip.
I rose early on September 6,1994,and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50­pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles:“America”.
For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states.As I traveled,folks were always warning me about someplace else.In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming;in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice as in Iowa.Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went.I was amazed by people’s readiness to help a stranger,even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.
【小題1】Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?

A.Because he failed to notice this man.
B.Because he was driving too fast.
C.Because he thought the young man didn’t need help.
D.Because he was afraid of being tricked.
【小題2】What was it that made the author upset?
A.Leaving the young man alone in the desert.
B.Being considered a fool.
C.Making the decision of not offering help so easily.
D.Keeping thinking about the young man.
【小題3】The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ________.
A.find out how long he could survive without help
B.go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environment
C.find out whether strangers would offer help to him
D.figure out how strangers thought of his plan
【小題4】The following part might probably ________.
A.describe how he fooled the strangers
B.describe how strangers went out their way to help him
C.explain why people refused to help strangers
D.explain how he overcame his difficulties on the way

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating(孤立的)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers?
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy?
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
【小題1】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.You may ignore your skills when you select job.
B.Job skills are the most important things when you select job.
C.There are more important things than job skills when you select job.
D.Selecting job, you should assess your skills and match them with the position.
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.
B.Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C.Extreme people tend to work with others.
D.Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
【小題3】What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A.DesignB.ChangesC.CooperationD.Hobbies

【小題4】What is the best title for this passage?
A.Lifestyles and Job PayB.Jobs and Environment
C.Job Skills and AbilitiesD.Personalities and Jobs

The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or love?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response, employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know.This is often called aptitude (天資) test.
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.“When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.”
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma(窘境).Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest, but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is the honest answer.
【小題1】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To give a piece of advice to job interviewees.
B.To tell you how to deal with job interviews.
C.To advise you how to find a good job.
D.To describe an aptitude test.
【小題2】According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should ________.
A.not tell the truth
B.offer a complete answer
C.learn to tell what they really think
D.find out what the examiner wants to know
【小題3】From the passage we know that ________.
A.job applicants are always trying to show their actual feelings
B.a(chǎn)pplicants should not act as cleverly as possible
C.more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
D.a(chǎn)ptitude test is becoming world-wide popular

“I’m a little worried about my future.”said Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate.He should be so lucky.All he had to worry about was whether to have an affair with Mrs. Robinson.In the sixties,that was the total sum of post-graduation anxiety.
Hoffman’s modem peers are not so fortunate.The Mrs. Robinsons aren’t sitting around at home any more.They are out in the workplace,doing the high-powered jobs the graduates want,but cannot get.For those fresh out of university,desperate for work but unable to get it,there is a big imbalance between supply and demand.And there is no narrowing of the gap in sight.
Parents feel as badly let down as the young people themselves.Middle-class families see their graduate offspring on the dole (救濟金) queue and wonder why they bothered paying school fees.Working-class families feel an even keener sense of disappointment.For many such families,getting a child into university was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.It was proof that they were living in a dynamic,economically successful country.That dream does not seem so rosy now.Graduate unemployment is not,ultimately,a political problem.Job-creation for graduates is very low down in the government’s schedule.If David Cameron’s Conservatives (保守黨) had a brilliant idea for guaranteeing every graduate a well-paid job,they would have presented it by now.It is a social problem,though a more deep-seated social problem than people perhaps realize.
【小題1】The author begins with the lines from The Graduate in order to __________ .

A.support the fact that more women are working now
B.show that few graduates started working right after graduation
C.demonstrate that there were much fewer graduates than now
D.emphasize the sharp contrast between now and then
【小題2】Regarding job opportunities for young graduates,the author sounds __________ .
A.pessimisticB.hopefulC.unconcerned D.content

C.publicize a movie
D.display the success of the country
【小題4】Towards the end of the passage,the author implies that __________ .
A.there will be job-creation programs for graduates
B.graduate unemployment is more of a political issue
C.graduate unemployment is not likely to be solved in a short time
D.the Conservatives have done nothing to solve the issue

A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.
The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn’t be frightened.
The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn’t seem well. It turns out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.
The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.
Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.
“Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea,” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation. “ What happens now is up to the penguin.”
Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(發(fā)射機)so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.
【小題1】Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?

A.On the sunny beach. B.Near the Antarctic.
C.Inside the hole in the ice. D.In the depths of the ocean.
【小題2】The public collected some money to______.
A.build a home for the penguin
B.get the sand out of the penguin’s belly
C.do some research on the penguin
D.return the penguin to his habitat
【小題3】What does Peter Simpson mean by saying “ What happens now is up to the penguin.”?
A.The penguin needs no protection from human.
B.Human beings can do noting to help penguins.
C.No one knows what will happen to the penguins.
D.Whether the penguin can survive depends on himself.
