green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. and jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. for example, many countries including the united states have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. as a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. the increasing demand of newer resources（资源） has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. in addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers. where can you find green-collar jobs? internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. check regularly and find the right work for yourself. people who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.25.why does bracken hendricks mention the internet boom in paragraph one?a.to explain the importance of technology.b.to provide evidence of his recent research.c.to indicate the bright future of green careers.d.to inform us of the way of finding green-collar jobs.26. which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?a.promoting services.b.training employees.c.consuming fossil fuels.d.developing new resources.27. what is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?a.the requirements for green employees.b.the development of the green industry.c.the economic influence of green careers.d.the job chances in the environmental industry.28. the passage is written to _.a.discuss eco-friendly servicesb.introduce promising career chancesc.suggest ways of saving energy at workd.explain the best method of finding jobscold age may not sound exciting. but recent findings offer good news for older people and people worried about getting older. researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. in fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than when they were 18 years old. the findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 85 in the united states. the gallup organization questioned them by telephone. the researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. they also asked about mental or emotional stress. arthur stone in the department of psychiatry and behavioral science at stony brook university in new york led the study. his team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25, but dropped sharply after people reach their fifties. happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. the people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. the study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. however, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. one theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. they also spend less time thinking about bad experience.29. the underlined word “emotions” (in paragraph 3) most probably means _.a. experience b. attitude c. feeling d. pressure30. the following statements are true except _.a. people are usually afraid of getting oldb. men and women share the same emotionsc. fifty is a key period in peoples emotion changesd. researchers cant explain why happiness increases as people get older31. the passage is written mainly for _.a. doctors b. researchers c. people over 50 d. general readers32. whats the best title for the passage?a. a new great finding b. the old, are you happy?c. the older, the happierd. learn to getting olddmy left foot (1989) imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. the main character in my left foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer christy brown，can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, hes able to express himself as an artist and poet. for his moving performance of brown, daniel lewis won his first academy award for best actor. shine (1996) do you have a talent youre afraid to share with the world?
