7．Like many students，Ryan believes that the time and money spent on his education will pay off：he will eventually be able to get a good job and do well in the field he has chosen．And yet，（51）C all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace，many recent graduates say that they struggle with the（52）B from classroom to career world and have difficulty （53）C life on the job．
Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case．Lewis believes that most of our school experiences-from childhood through university-are fairly （54）A，while life in the working world is far more uncertain．In school，（55）C，the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year．In the workplace，however，constant（56）A is the norm，and one has to adapt quickly．
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are （57）B to think analytically．In school，many students including those in college，spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they"learned"on tests．But in the workplace employees"are often expected to think critically and make （58）C about their work，not just follow a supervisor's instructions．"Less time needs to be spent in school on testing，says one recent report，and more on helping students to analyze and interpret information，solve problems，and communicate their ideas effectively-skills that will prepare them to succeed in today's workplace．
Finally，many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to （59）D on the job．In the workplace，employees must regularly （60）D with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success．In other words，if an employee has to work with others to complete a given project，that employee's （61）A not only depends on his hard work and expertise，but also on how well his colleagues perform．Knowing how to participate effectively in teamwork-and deal with problems when they arise-is extremely important，and yet，it is also something many students don't get quite（62）B to in a school setting．
How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace？Recent graduates，looking back on their educational experience，have some （63）B．Many think that all students should be required to do an internship （實(shí)習(xí)） while they are in school．Volunteering part time at a company，hospital，or government organization，for example，can help one gain experience and learn skills needed to succeed in the real world．（64）A this kind of practical work experience with classroom instruction，say the graduates，will help prepare students for the （65）D of the workplace and make the transition from school to career world less stressful．

4．British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes-the Upper Class，the Middle Class，and the Lower or Working Class．This is known as the Class system and it is important to know something about it if you want to understand British people and society．Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious（意識(shí)到）of it．Most people know which class they belong to by the way they speak，their clothes，their interests or even the type of food they eat．
Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes．For example，although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land，having a lot of money does not make a person upper class．It is also important to come from a particular kind of family，have friends who are considered suitable，have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent．There are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class，because their family background，education，political opinions，etc．a(chǎn)re different from those of most working-class people．Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way．

My favorite sport
Though there are different kinds of sports，but swimming is my favorite．It was a very excited experience to learn swimming with my parents when I am five years old．
Swimming is a real good sport．It makes me feeling relaxed．This sport can make me stay health and strong，so I exercise almost every part of my body every time I go swimming．
    Before going to swim，we should pay attention three points．The first is to make your body in a better state．The second is that do not eat too many．The last is that you'd better swim with some friends．These can help you stay safe and enjoy ourselves．

20．Do you like chocolate？Maybe most people do．A box of it can be a great gift．Buy one for a friend and give it as a surprise．See how happy that person gets．
Say you just got a box of chocolate．Which piece do you pick first？A man has studied people's choices．He says they tell something about the person．Did you choose a round piece？You are a person who likes to party．Did you choose an oval （橢圓形的） shape？You are a person who likes to make things．Picking a square shape shows something else．The person is honest and truthful．You can depend on him or her．
What kind of chocolate do you pick？Maybe you like milk chocolate．This shows you have warm feelings about the past．Dark chocolate means something else．A person who chooses it looks toward the future．What about white chocolate？Would you choose it？If so，you may find it hard to make up your mind．Some people like chocolate with nuts．These are people who like to help others．
Do you believe these ideas？Can candy tell all these things？It doesn't really matter．There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolate．They eat it because they like it．
32．This passage mainly tells usC．
A．why people like chocolate                    
B．how to buy a box of chocolate which people like

19．If you visited your Qzone，Youku．com or other social media websites recently，you might have thought that some famous people and even some of your friends had gone mad．
They took buckets（桶） of icy water and poured them over their heads．They recorded the process，and even asked you to join them!
Welcome to the Ice Bucket Challenge．The challenge is simple：When challenged，one either pours a bucket of icy water over his or her head or donates $100 to the ALS（肌萎縮側(cè)索硬化） Organization．He or she can do both，of course．
As the challenge has got more and more popular，however，I think that it has lost its real meaning．The activity's initial（最初的） purpose was to make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money for scientists to treat the disease．However，the videos have caught people's attention too far from the real purpose of the activity．Many people did it just for fun or to follow the trend（潮流）．They didn't even know what ALS was，let alone donate money to the charity．
Some people even tried hard to take the challenge in a funny way．They didn't know how bad the ALS patients would feel if they watched those videos．
At the same time，the world is facing another challenge-the water crisis（危機(jī)）．According to The Washington Post，the Ice Bucket Challenge had already used over 5 million gallons （14 million liters） of water by August，which put the world's freshwater reserves（儲(chǔ)存） under a lot of pressure．
In short，the Ice Bucket Challenge has changed from a good thing to a show．ALS patients need our kindness，help and respect．We should do something to help them．
29．According to the passage，the real purpose of the Ice Bucket Challenge was toC．
A．a(chǎn)sk more people to join in making films and become famous．
B．let more people have fun and follow the trend．
C．make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money．
D．make ALS patients feel that they are not alone．
30．Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage？A
A．Many people knew what ALS was and donated lots of money．
B．Some people tried to take the challenge in a funny way．
C．The Ice Bucket Challenge has wasted a lot of water．
D．The world is facing another challenge-the water crisis．
31．What best describes the writer's attitude to the Ice Bucket Challenge？B
A．Exited．B．Worried．C．Satisfied．D．Interested．

18．Dear Editor，
    I'm a Senior 1 student in a middle school．This term，my favourite teacher，Miss Mao，no longer teaches us．I want to see her，but I'm afraid that she no longer likes me and I don't want to trouble her．I really miss her．What should I do？
                                                                                                  Tian Yan  
Dear Tian Yan，
    It's bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher．But，if she is still in your school，nothing can stop you going to see her．When she isn't busy，ask her if she minds having a quick chat．You can then tell her she was your favourite teacher．Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
    If she has left the school，it will be more difficult to meet her．It will be hard，but remember people always come and go in our lives．We can't depend on them being with us all the time．
You may be sad to say goodbye to her，but we can remember and learn from her．Think of her best qualities．
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers．Study hard and give your new teacher a chance．In time，you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from．
    Finally，you can not completely depend on other people getting you through your studies，or even your life．
