projected to grow twice as quickly as jobs in all other fields according to the u.s. bureau of statistics. while all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4 percent, stem jobs are expected to increase by21.4 percent.by this measure, future stem jobs represent a huge opportunity to todays students. but, in fact, of the 3.8 million ninth graders in the u.s., only 233,000 end up choosing a stem degree in college, according to the national center for education statistics. this means only 6 percent of ninth graders will become stem graduates. and of these graduates, women will be even more underrepresented in most stem fields.these are alarming statistics. how do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in stem-related fields? it isnt an easy task. schools do not always adequately prepare students for these severe subjects, and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are less persistent. nationally, only41 percentof initial stem majors who begin a degree in stem-related fields complete their degree in less than six years.in addition, social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the stem fields. a couple of years ago, i met amazing parents, both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps. they encouraged her to take an after-school science / robotics program. when she got there, she found she was outnumbered 6:1 by boys in the class. as the only girl, she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not welcome in the boys club. ironically, by the time young boys are entering college programs in stem fields, many complain about the lack of girls.starting at an early age, even as young as kindergarten, we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science, computing, math and technology. we also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field, they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them: parents, teachers, friends and family members.56. the stem statistics are used in the passage mainly to show that _.a. stem jobs will be easily available in the futureb. boys have more advantages over girls in stemc. the number of stem students is rapidly decliningd. america will face serious shortage of stem talents57. a large number of stem students stop their studies when _. a. they get bored with the subjects b. they cant stick to their hard studies c. they feel they have learnt adequatelyd. they can easily find jobs in other fields58. from the passage we can learn that few girls enter the stem fields partly because _.a. few stem boys like to study with girlsb. there is widespread prejudice against girlsc. most girls are bad at the required subjectsd. most girls take little interest in stem jobs59. in the writers opinion, what should we do now?a. show the students the advantages of stem jobs.b. provide college graduates with more stem jobs.c. encourage more young children to take up stem.d. make people aware of the importance of stem.bbannits ltd, cardifft212 titan house, cardiff bay business centre, titan road, cardiff, cf24 5bskey features:furnished or unfurnishedwashing machinecentral heatingfull

its label (标签), a pint of hagen-dazs ice creamcontains four servings(份). but when was the last time you measured out a fourth of a container of cookies & cream, then put the rest away for another day?for many people, the reality is that much of a pint can easily disappear in one sitting. a large package of cool ranch doritos lists a single serving asroughly 12 chips, but its hard to imagine keeping count of every last chip as you dig into a bag.canned soup may be one of the more obvious examples. according to its label, a single serving of campbells chunky classic chicken noodle soup is one cupjust under half a can and contains about 790 milligrams of sodium (钠). but in a national survey of 1,000 consumers, only 10 percent of people said they would eat a one-cup portion. most, about 64 percent, said they would eat an entire can at one time, taking in 1,840 milligrams of sodium in a sitting. that is roughly 80 percent of the 2,300 milligrams recommended as the upper limit for daily salt intake.in the face of increasing criticism, the food and drug administration (f.d.a.) has been under pressure for years to force food makers to include more realistic serving-size information on their labels. the agency regulates the serving sizes that can be listed on packages by providing food makers withdetailed instructions to follow, which list the amounts of a specific foodthat a person would “customarily consume” in a typical sitting. but critics say these so-called reference amounts are often laughably small because theyre based in part on surveys of eating behavior that were carried out in the 1970s, when americans ate less food and portions had not been supersized.now, in an effort to emphasize the problems with some labels, the center for science in the public interest, a consumer advocacy group, has picked out what it says are some of the worst offenders. at the top of its list are labels for canned soups, ice cream, coffee creamers and nonstick cooking spraysall of which grossly understate (少报) the calories, sodium and saturated fat the average person typically consumes when eating these foods.the f.d.a. has been in the process of revising existing food labels since 2005. but the agency has been somewhat tight-lipped about where it is in the process and any changes it plans to make, like whether labels should include details on added sugars or just total sugar, for example, and whether calories should be emphasized less or more than they are now.this fall, the institute of medicine is expected to release its own report on food packaging and labeling as well.63. according to the passage, when eating canned soup, _.a. people are aware of the amount they take inb. people are worried about the amount they take inc. many people take in too big an amount unconsciouslyd. most people follow the instructions on the label closely64. the writer tries to convince us that _.a. food consumers are to blame for eating so carelesslyb. food makers show little consideration for consumersc. most labels on food packages give false informationd. the amount of food in one package is often too large65. what does the writer seem to think of the f.d.as efforts?a. considerable.b. unsatisfying.c. unreasonable. d. effective.66. which might be the proper title for the passage?a. problem with serving sizes b. trend of packaging and labelingc. relationship between diet and healthd. efforts to reduce criticism第四部分任务型阅读attitude is a mental state relative to what we believe and affects our entire lives. we express our attitude in our words and actions.one of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance, relationships and everyone around you.in truth, people generally dont have a high level of attitude awareness. theyll know if they are hungry or if their feet hurt, but they usually dont have a good handle on their attitude. that is a mistake because attitude decides everything. it governs the way you perceive (感知) the world and the way the world perceives you.we all have a choice. we can choose an inner dialogue of self-encouragement and self-motivation. its a power we all have. each of us experiences hard times, hurt feelings, heartache, and physical and emotional pain. the key is to realize its not what happens to you that matters; its how you choose to respond.your mind is a computer that can be programmed. your inner dialogue is the software that programs your attitude, which determines how you present yourself to the world around you. you have control over the programming. whatever you put into it is reflected in what comes out. the sad reality of life is that we will continue to hear negative information, but
