nursing mainly because i wanted to help other people out. ever since i was a little kid, ive liked to help others out whether by comforting them or by helping them make new friends. ive got a great deal of comfort from seeing other people happy. ive always tried to make others laugh and be able to enjoy themselves. so i knew i could help the world by becoming a nurse.becoming a nurse wasnt an easy decision thought. i knew it would cost me a good amount of time and effort because medicine is not an easy field to work in. i had to decide if becoming a nurse was worth the time and effort that i had to put into school. i knew that in the end, it would all be worth it.i encourage others to try to become a nurse too. it is a field both men and women can work in even though most people think it is a woman job. a man can do the job just as well as a woman can. it is a very interesting job and you will never see something twice. each patient brings different problems that you have to try to help with.it requires you to have much patience and to be able to work long, flexible hours. you can be called in at any time if there is an emergency. i still think it is a great career though and you are paid a significant amount of money.according to american news, the average salary for a nurse in 2013 was $67,930 a year. that is a good amount of money that any one can live off. the average salary in american is $50,502 a year so by becoming a nurse, youll be paid about $17,000 more a year than the average american. also, with more years of experience, your pay will go up and you can be promoted(晋升) to a registered nurse or the head nurse.becoming a nurse has its advantages and disadvantages, but studying to become a nurse was one of the best decisions of my life. i suggest that you do the same if youre unsure of what career to choose.59. the author chose to become a nurse mainly because nursing _. a. offered her a chance to help others b. was her dream from an early age c. enabled her to enjoy herself d. made her feel comfortable60. in the authors opinion, being a nurse requires_. a. a good knowledge of medicine b. a long time to study and a great deal of effort c. excellent performance at school d. support from parents61. the fifth paragraph is mainly to tell us that_ a. nursing is becoming more popular due to high salaries b. it is easy for nurses to earn high salaries c. nurses have the highest salary in america d. becoming a nurse is a good choice cstarlings(欧椋鸟) do not have the most beautiful singing voices in the world but they are excellent copycatsor copybirds! they copy what they hear most often. and they can bark like dogs, baa like sheep, and cry like kids.noisy and gregarious, starlings spend a lot of the year in groups. at first, young starlings can make simple sounds to talk to other starlings. but soon, they add copycat sounds to their songs. a whole group of starlings is likely to hear and copy the same sounds. yet scientists have never found two males that sing exactly the same song. each male uses copycat sounds to make his song creative.every spring, a male starling sings to find a mate(配偶). the longer and more difficult his song, the more likely he is to find a female. no one knows why. maybe females know that the best singers keep other birds away, which eat starling eggs. or maybe females know that the best singers find the tastiest bugs for their baby starlings.besides singing to find a mate, the male protects his nest with all the sounds hes learned. he stands straight and tall. his song tells other starlings, “this is my nest. go away! each season, he adds more sounds, making himself more attractive to females and more fearsome to his competition.starlings steals not only sounds but other birds nests, too! they use holes or openings that are already there as places to build their nests. they are just as happy to take over the big tree holes that other birds build. and people often find that the birdhouse they built for bluebirds is now home to starlings.if you find a springtime nest, watch and listen. you might see nest-building, or a mother starling warming her eggs, or baby starlings eating. and if you hear a dog barking or a kid crying, look up into a tree. it may be a starling adding another sound to its song.62. what do we know about starling? a. they are the best singing birds. b. they are good at copying voices c. they can copy the sound of any bird. d. they learn the same sounds in a group.63. the underlined word “gregarious” in paragraph 2 probably refers to birds _ a. like to live together b. are friendly to others c. are busy all the year round d. communicate with each other.64. songs of male starlings can help them to _ a. find tasty food b. warm other starlings c. show love to their young babies d. show theyre the best singers in the world65. when building their nests, starlings_. a. usually ask other birds or help b. take over others nests as their own c. often fight against others for tree holes d. like to build their nests close to bluebirds66. the passage is written to _. a. tell us about different kinds of starlings b. call on more research on starlings c. ask people to protect starlings d. introduce a kind birddno one knows for sure when advertising first started. it is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. that led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus on doing one specific job.lets take a man well call mr. fielder for example. he did everything connected with farming. he planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. at the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. however, he didnt make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows, or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.suppose there was another man we shall call mr. plowright. using what he knew about farming and working with iron, mr. plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. mr. plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.how did mr. plowright let people know what he was doing? why, he advertised, of course. first he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. that sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. it was p
