I was always playing doctor with dolls, wrapping their arms and legs in tissues! My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses, but I went into finance. The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now, but I feel Im helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.John Podeszwa, 45English school owner (American)Ive always loved animals, and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog, then a chimp.

Children Have Different Dream JobsBAs the longer life and rapid decrease in the laborage population are expected, extending the retirement age is a wise choice for the government. This is why at the Third Plenum (全会) of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China it was agreed that there should be a study on the subject.It is undoubtedly necessary for the government to adjust its policies to meet the challenge of an increasingly aging society. According to the government, Chinas senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million, about 14.8 percent of the population, by the end of this year, and the figure is expected to grow to 248 million by the year of 2020 and more than 400 million by 2050, when they will account for 30 percent of the population. Meanwhile, extending the retirement age will result in several benefitsslowing the rapid increase of the retired, reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the laborage population at a considerable size for stable economic development. However, before the policy is drawn up there will need to be thorough research, so there can be careful consideration of the interests of all parties to make sure that the new policy does not harm the interests of workers in different jobs.There are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age. And the opinions of government employees and other white-collar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age.No doubt it will be impossible to please all, but it should be possible to make the policy acceptable to the most. Anyway, any extensions that will hopefully help reduce the negative influences of our increasingly aging society also need to be fair.25. The text mainly tells us _A. China is going to enter an aging societyB. extending the retirement age will bring about multiple benefitsC. all people agree to accept the policyD. China has planned to extend the retirement age26. What can be inferred from the text?A. There can be many difficulties in extending the retirement age.B. All the workers will be pleased with the policy.C. The white-collar workers go against the policy.D. The government should please all so as to give up the policy.27. What is the authors attitude towards the policy?A. Doubtful. B. ObjectiveC. OpposedD. Optimistic.CWe are always told that blue is for boys and pink is for girls. But does this rule result from born difference between sexes or are they culturally constructed?In 1918 a trade magazine for baby clothes companies said although opinions varied on this subject, there was a generally accepted rule pink for the boy and blue for the girl, because pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy；while blue which is more delicate and elegant is prettier for the girl.Unluckily, this attempt at setting the rule for sellers and producers clearly did not work. A 1927 chart in Time Magazine contacted department stores in various cities and asked what colors they used for boys and girls. The result was all over the map. It wasnt until after the Second World War that the modern standard started to become popular and even so, it didnt get rooted until the 1980s.As for why todays strict color standard set in at all, a sociologist at the University of Maryland thinks they are basically the outcome of a marketing technique. If salesmen can convince you of following the standard, you will buy a certain product, which makes sense in promoting its sales. Another historian from the same university argues that the rule we use today may reflect the influence of French fashion. Traditional French culture paired pink with girls and blue with boys and because France set the fashion in the 20th century, their tradition ruled the world.So do girls prefer pink and boys prefer blue from birth? It depends on whom you ask. The debate about how we got to the point will probably continue. After all, a century ago a magazine firmly declared the opposite rule.28. When did todays strict standard set in peoples mind?A. In 1918.B. Until the 1980s.C. In 1927. D. After 1945.29. What made the generally accepted rule change to todays standard?A. The fast changing society.B. The functions of colors.C. The purpose of French businessmen.D. The success of marketing technique.30. The underlined part “all over the map” in the third paragraph probably refers to _A. in agreementB. in the mapC. in a messD. in order31. Todays strict color standard may contribute to _A. making products more beautifulB. bringing in more sales profitsC. attracting more visitors to FranceD. understanding boys and girls easilyDIn this day and age, it may seem like getting two people with different views together to discuss them isa recipe for disaster. Just think about what would happen if you sat down and had an open and honest conversation with someone with completely opposing views. Could it bring you closer together?However, the Human Library Organization is counting on it.At a Human Library, people volunteer to become “books” and make their experiences open and available. “Readers” are encouraged to ask them questions freely, and theyll get honest answers in return. Theres no judgment, and no questions are off-limits.You wont find unpleasant comments, and you wont lose faith in humanity. At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in. You might even make a new friend! The human “books” consist of people who have been discriminated by society.” said Ronni Abergel, the Human Library Organizations founder, who has set out to build a space for conversations that can challenge prejudices through dialogue. “The most pleasantly surprising thing about it is how close all the human books become to one another,” she said. Human Libraries help to remind us there really is more that unites us than divides us. And as events now spread throughout 82 countries, with Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan, you can tell that is a shared feeling.“We can spend billions and billions on trying to build up homeland security and our safety, but real safety comes from having positive relations to other groups in your community,” said Abergel. “Real safety is not going to come from building walls. Its going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”32. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Heated discussions are often carried out among people.B. Open dialogue cant always lead to close relation.C. People with opposing views are not honest enough. D. We tend to have open dialogues with people around us. 33. What will readers get at a Human Library?A. A fair judgment. B. Unpleasant comments.C. Regaining confidence.D. An available experience.34. Which of the following can replace the underlined “launch” in Para. 6 in meaning?A. StartB. Accelerate. C. Substitute.D. Succeed. .35. What did Abergel advise people to do to get real safety?A. Join other groups in the community. B. Pull down walls between communities.C. Strengthen bonds between people.D. Spend less money on homeland security.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer. 36 In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1991 and 2014. Luckily, a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.Know the dangerHeatrelated illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur. 37 The bodys temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90degree day, creating a potentially deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.Drink plenty of water 38 Sweating is your bodys key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated (含水的) before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly.

A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels (血管), and sun block (防晒乳) is always a good idea.Take actionWhat should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position youre in to an area that is a little cooler. 40 A. In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated. B. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous. C. Weatherrelated causesD. Dress for the occasion E. You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot. F.
