He found a cold storage room in a building, set up a 31 typewriter and settled down to work.After a year or so, however, Alex began to 32 himself. He found it was difficult to earn his living by 33 what he wrote. But Alex determined to put his dream to the test even if it meant living with uncertainty and fear of 34 . This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to 35 there.One day Alex got a(n) 36, “We need an assistant, and were paying $6,000 a year.” $6,000 was 37 money in 1960. It would enable Alex to get a nice 38 instead of the storage room, a second-hand car and more. Besides, he could write on the side. As the dollars were dancing in Alexs head, something cleared his senses. He had dreamed of being a(n) 39 full time. “Thanks but no,” Alex said 40 , “Im going to stick it out and write.” After Alex got off the phone, he pulled out everything he had: two cans of vegetables and 18 cents. Alex put the cans and cents into a paper bag, saying to himself, “Theres everything youve made of yourself so far.”Finally his work was published in 1970. Instantly he became 41 and achieved success that few writers ever experience. The 42 had turned into limelight (聚光灯).Then one day, Alex 43 a box filled with things he had owned years before.

The airlines rules required him to buy two seats for himself. But when he got on board Mr Price found his seats for the flight to Ireland were not even next to each other they were either side of another passengers seat. And on his return journey the situation was even more ridiculous, with his places two rows apart. Mr Price, 43, had booked his tickets in advance of the flight.Mr Price said the incident was one of many everyday difficulties he has faced since he began struggling with his weight.The unemployed widower(鳏夫), who sleeps on the ground floor because he cannot manage stairs, said: “From the age of about ten I put on around a stone each year it seemed. But I was the same as everyone else, working, playing rugby, training, so I wasnt inactive. Id work 70 or 80 hours a week and play rugby on a Saturday. I wasnt a lay-about.”Mr Price then injured his back in an accident. He added: “I lost my mobility, developed sciatica(坐骨神经痛) and I didnt get out of the house for three months.”When his wife Zeruiah died of cancer in 2009 he admits he turned to comfort eating. “I fell into a depression,” he said. “I couldnt be bothered to cook, would eat takeaways and want to treat my step-daughter Charlie because her mother had died.”Earlier this year a travel expert advocated a “pay-what-you-weigh” airline pricing scheme because heavier people cost more in fuel to fly. Passengers weighing above a certain threshold(临界值) would pay more for their plane tickets and lighter ones would be charged less.Mr Price said he is cutting down on his calories and attending an NHS weight management clinic. He said: “I want to be out there working. I feel guilty my parents are out there working all they can. Christmas is coming up and I feel awful I cant do anything to help.”46. Which of the following did NOT happen to Mr Price?A. He was given a free air ticket.B. He bought two seats for himself.C. He found his seats for the flight to Ireland were either side of another passengers seat.D. He found his seats for the return journey were two rows apart.47. What does the underlined word“lay-about”most probably mean?A. A person who is sensitive.B. A person who is lazy.C. A person who is active.D. A person who is smart.48. Which of the following is NOT true about the “pay-what-you-weigh” airline pricing scheme?A. It believes heavier people cost more in fuel to flyB. It has been in effect for many years.C. Passengers weighing above a certain threshold would pay more for their plane tickets.D. Passengers weighing below a certain threshold would be charged less.49. According to the last paragraph, Mr Price is trying to lose weight because _.A. He does not want to be laughed atB. He does not want to pay more for air ticketsC.

Overweighta big problemD. Mr Price is in troubleBLiu Enchengs experience of travelling to New Zealand on a working holiday visa was a life changer: “Its about having a chance to understand yourself better, to find out what you really want.”As soon as New Zealands government announced its plan to offer 1,000 working holiday visas to Chinese residents a year in 2010, Liu, then 27, applied. Back then, Liu had worked as a reporter for the Kunming Daily for five years, after graduating from a tourism management major at Central South University of Forestry and Technology.Rural tasteLiu arrived in New Zealand in December and was impressed by the summer Christmas. “Many fruits are ready to harvest, so its easy to find a job in the orchards before getting there. Since New Zealand is an agricultural country, working in rural areas helps you understand the country better,” says Liu.The most important thing, according to Liu, is to live independently. He needed to balance work and travel, because on a working holiday visa youre only allowed to stay in a job for a maximum of three months. So when Liu had nearly finished a job, it was time to think about what to do next.Various experienceDifferent to Lius experience, Wu Fei tried many different jobs. Wu was one of the first people to get a working holiday visa in 2010. After graduating from a physics major at Fudan University, he travelled to New Zealand in May. He worked as an assistant for a hunter, a chef in a restaurant, a cleaner in a university, even as an actor in a prison.What impressed him most was the lifestyle of the local people. “They dont pursue happiness by shopping or going to parties. Instead, they like going outdoors with their families. This simple happiness helps them find inner peace, but its hard to do that in a big city in China,” says Wu._But it was hard for Liu to communicate with the locals at the beginning, as they spoke with strong accents and there were big cultural differences.“I tried my best to overcome these problems to get adapted to the local culture. When you decide to go abroad, you must immerse yourself in an unfamiliar environment and solve problems on your own. I think thats what makes such a trip special.” Says Liu.51. Which of the following about Liu Encheng before he went to New Zealand isTRUE?A. He graduated from Central North University of Forestry and Technology.B. He worked for the Kunming Daily.C. He was 32 then.D. He was the manager of a travel agency.52. Liu Encheng needed to balance work and travel because _.A. no one helped himB. the visa allowed him to stay in a job for only 3 monthsC. he had trouble in getting a jobD. it was his first overseas trip53. What impressed Wu Fei most?A. The summer Christmas. B. The lifestyle of the local people. C. The communication with the locals. D. The landscape of New Zealand.54. Whats the authors attitude to those who travelled to New Zealand on a working holiday visa? A. Concerned. B. Against. C. Objective. D. Careless.55. Which of the following can be put in the blank as a subtitle?A. Be adapted to local culture B. Communicate in English C. Solve problems on the trip D. Enjoy the landscape CThere is no single sure sign of lying, but rather numerous nonverbal and verbal signs that may “leak” from the liar.When it comes to nonverbal signs of lying, what escapes most people is the flashing of a microexpression. Microexpressions are super-quick expressions that cross over peoples faces against their will and without their awareness. These provide a true look at their honest feelings about a matter. While some arent looking for such clues, others detect them without knowing what just happened. If your “gut” is telling you something isnt quite right with a person, you very well may have detected a microexpression on that persons face that doesnt match what he or she is saying.Another nonverbal sign of lying is a forced smile, which generally involves only the muscles of the mouth. A sign of deception is a smile or other gesture that contradicts what is being said. When we normally communicate, both speech and body language happen naturally, without specific thought. When we lie, however, we must decide which body gestures best match the lie, or rather best represent the telling of the truth. All of this thought leads to mis-matching words and body language.Someone whos lying may feel attacked and get in a defensive position. He or she might turn away from the questioner, cross his or her arms or even move farther away. Liars may noticeably move restlessly, especially during a pause in the conversation.There are other nonverbal hints that many people think are telltale signs of lying but arent, such as increased blinking, scratching the face or nose, or placing a hand over the mouth while speaking. These signs are only good indicators when they represent a change in the persons normal behavior. Maybe the guy whos blinking a lot has an eyelash in his eye, and the girl covering her mouth is just self-conscious; however, if the person doesnt blink often during the first three statements and blinks like crazy and scratches his or her neck while giving the fourth statement, then that statement needs closer examination. Now youve learnt a lot about nonverbal signs.56. Which of the following statements about microexpression is NOT true?A. They are very quick and last for a short time.B. They can be used by liars in communication.C. They always express peoples thoughts and feelings D. They can help us decide whether somebody is lying.57. Which of the following will most likely be considered a sign of lying?A. Scratching the nose or face. B. Blinking constantly while talking.C. Nodding “yes” during a denial. D. Talking with arms crossed.58. The underlined word “telltale” probably means _.A. revealing B. acceptable C. complex D. puzzling59. What is the best title for this article?A. Different signs of lying in communicationB. Steps to catch a big liar in verbal communication.C. Signs of lying in body language D. Tips on exposing liars in our life60. What would the article probably talk about in the following paragraph?A. The verbal signs of lying in communication.B. The proper reaction to liars and lies in our life.C. The steps to help everyone stop lying.D. The writers personal experience with liars.D For many people, the ideal way to do homework involves listening to music. But some parents disagree, saying: “Switch off the music and concentrate!”Well, if thats the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.A ne
