was very thin, i wasnt a good student, i talked too much, i was too proud, and so on. i tried to hear all this as long as i could. at last, i became very angry. i ran to my father with tears in my eyes. he listened to me quietly, then he asked. “are the things she says true or not? janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like ? well, you now have that girls opinion. go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. pay no attention to the other things she said.” i did as he told me. to my great surprise, i discovered that about half the things were true. some of them i couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number i couldand suddenly i wanted to change. for the first time i go to fairly clear picture of myself. i brought the list back to daddy. he refused to take it. “thats just for you,” he said.“you know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. but you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. when something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. our world is full of people who think they know your duty. dont shut your ears. listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. in my life, ive never had a better piece of advice. 1. what does “week by week her list grew” mean? a. week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me. b. she had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer. c. i was having more and more shortcomings as time went on. d. week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious. 2. why did her father listen to her quietly? a. because he believed that what her daughters “enemy” said was mostly true. b. because he had been so angry with his daughters shortcomings that he wanted to show thisby keeping silent for a while. c. because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment. d. because he wasnt quite sure which girl was telling the truth. 3.which do you think would be the best title for this passage? a. not an enemy, but the best friend b. the best advice ive ever had c. my father d. my childhoodbtelevisions were among the most talked-about things at ces 2013the 2013 international consumer electronic show (国际消费类电子产品展销会) last week in las vegas, nevada. they were bigger and better with some of the highest technology (技术). some tvs used a new technology called oled. they were bigger, thinner and lighter, offered better colour and were brighter than traditional tvs using led.ultra high definition tvs were also popular. most of the tvs shown on the exhibition used 4k technology.smart tvs this year were smarter. many offered technology that users have a more personalized （个性化的）experience. one such tv from tcl can know who is watching with the help of new technology. then it can offer programmes according to the users usual interest. another tv from panasonic offers a similar personalized user experience.size also played an important part in ces 2013. tvs changed in size from big to bigger, with at least two companies samsung and hisense showing tvs that are 110 inches large on the exhibition.the yearly ces is the biggest technology show in north america and one of the biggest in the world.its a meeting of the brightest minds and the top leaders from many industries and those who want to know about the future.digital health and fitness inventions were also big at ces 2013. there was even a fork that tells you when you are eating too fast.the show had over 3,200 different companies showing more than 20,000new products in about 26 miles of exhibition space.4.which difference

not been held yetb. tvs at ces 2013 were smaller than beforec. many companies attended ces 2013d. no leaders from industries appeared at ces 2013camerica is a mobile society. friendships between americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. if the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship. this can be quite difficult for us chinese to understand，because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life. they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. another difficult point for us chinese to understand americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. this is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. the americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. and they expect that we will phone them from there. once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real. we will find ourselves treated hospitably. for the americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!7. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. friendships between americans usually extend deeply into their families. b. friendships between americans usually last for all their lives. c. americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.d. americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.8. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend，we will probably be _.a. warmly welcomed at the airport b. offered a ride to his homec. treated hospitably at his homed. treated to dinner in a restaurant9. the underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean _.a. strict with time b. willing to spend timec. careful with time d. serious with time10. a suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”.a. friendships between chinese b. friendships between americansc. americanshospitality d. americansand chineses views of frienddsaving water is an important part of going green. as water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. the less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.as it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. that is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.it may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your homes water needs. many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器). 11. the underlined word “green” means _ in this passage.a. 未成熟的b. 环保c.嫉妒d. 健康的12. according to the passage, which is not the reason that people should save water?a. treating wastewater needs much energy. b. the water on the earth is becoming less and less.c. the water on the earth is becoming polluted more.d. rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your homes water needs. 13. according to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except _.a. washing fruit and vegetables under a tapb. using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetablesc. making sure taps are fully turned off all the timed. turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth14. which of the following is the best title of this passage?a. save water by turning off the tap b. how to treat and clean wastewaterc. keep your garden green with rainwaterd. save water starting with small changes 15. from the passage, we can know that_.a. we can get enough water by harvestingb. most people pay no attention to saving waterc. we can practice rainwater harvesting in a small way d. harvesting water is more necessary than conserving it. 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成下面表格。（共10空，每空1分，计10分）one of the most common questions i am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up after a job interview. following up in some way is necessary. yes, you can get a job without it, but if you compete with other top candidates(候选人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesnt. heres how to follow up well:send a thank-you note at once. e-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣赏). and if there are many interviews（面试）, send a thank-you note each time.find out their timeline. hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didnt, follow up within a week to strengthen your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.be patient. most commonly, job seekers are too worried about the result. it doesnt look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline. dont be nervous if you dont hear from them at once. the hiring process often takes longer than a candidate would like, maybe the decision makers are out of town. if youre past the time they indicated you would hear something, this isnt necessarily cause for nervousness. hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. just politely follow up, explain youre very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline. title: how to follow up after a job interviewimportance offollowing up
