months ago. he has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.one day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. his appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. while waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. obviously there was something wrong with the car. jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. when jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. then the old man said, “well, i could take you to the office for your interview. its the least i could do. please, i insist.” jimmy agreed.upon arrival, jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. one by one, the applicants left the interviewers office with disappointed look on their faces. finally his name was called. the interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “do you really need to be interviewed?” jimmys heart sank. “with the way i look now, how could i possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.then the interviewer turned the chair and to jimmys surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. it turned out he was the general manager of the company.“sorry i had to keep you waiting, but i was pretty sure i made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. i just know youd be a trustworthy worker. congratulations!”

heads are better than onec a man was complaining to his friend about his wifes nagging(唠叨). he said, “all my wife does is talk, talk, talk.” his friend asked, “well, what does she think about?” he answered, “i dont know. she didnt say!” you would think that with two ears and one mouth, wed all be twice as good listeners as talkers! but not so. research shows that we usually listen to only 20% of what others say to us. but good listening is one of the easiest and most important ways to be successful- whether its in our job and career, our marriage, with our children, or with our friends. its interesting that even though we cant actually shut our ears, we somehow still manage to. we only listen to what we want to. there are three important things we need to do when we listen to others. the first is observation. use your eyes and look at them. its just common respect. take your eyes off the tv, newspapers, or whatever else, and give the talkers your attention. the second part of listening is concentration (专心). when others are talking to us, we shouldnt break in or just be thinking about what we want to say. hear them out. listen to everything they have to say and then say what we want to say. the third and probably most important part of good listening is consideration. this means using your heart. really care about what they are feeling or going through. dont just hear their words, but try to understand their feelings. people usually know if were really interested in or care about what theyre saying.28. according to the author, most people _ .a. are not good listeners b. dont like those people who talk a lotc. are good at talking rather than listeningd. are not successful because they dont know how to listen29. when we listen to others, we should _ .a. pay attention only to what we want b. break in and give our opinionsc. give our opinions after they finish talking d. look at their eyes instead of their mouths30. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to tell readers an interesting story b. to tell readers how to be good listeners.c. to advise readers to care about others. d. to show readers the importance of listening.31. which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? a b c dd do you have trouble getting serious about studying for a test? here are some tips. unless youve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study sessions because they tend to get off-topic pretty quickly. save the social time till youve handed in your test. the place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible such as music, television, and even the internet and your phone. if you dont have your own room, consider studying at the library instead. before you dig in, make sure you have all your books, notes, study guides and writing utensils(用具) in front of you. dont give yourself another excuse to get up and walk around. if you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food. instead, snack on studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, peanut butter, milk and seafood. caffeine or energy drinks wont help you in the long run. get your energy boost instead by eating a banana or an apple. if you try to study every single thing your teacher has ever said, youll go crazy. instead, focus on the most important topics. if youre not sure what those are, read the study guide or ask your classmates. once youve understood the important parts, if theres still some time left before the test, you can move onto the less important parts. your brain can only take so much hard work at one time. for every hour that you study, take about 15 minutes to do something mindless, like taking a walk, or listening to music. itll keep your stress level down and give your brain a chance to let all that information sink in.32. in paragraph 2 the author suggests that we _ .a. engage in social activities b. choose the right friendsc. study alone to learn better d. try group study sessions33. whats the authors attitude to “ getting your energy boost with energy drinks”?a. unfavorable. b. worried. c. indifferent. d. supportive.34. the last paragraph shows the importance of _ .a. working hard for a test b. getting everything ready for studyc. taking a break from time to time d. moving onto less important things35. whats the authors purpose in writing the text?a. to compare some study methods. b. to tell us how to prepare well for a test.c. to ask students to enjoy high school life d. to show how to create a perfect study area.e there is an old spanish proverb which states, “ tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” 36 too many. but our dreams should not and cannot wait. tomorrow is not promised. nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is that everybody will die someday. none of us know the day. 37 dont go to your grave with unfinished dreams. make the decision to go after every dream, big or small, right now. the world is waiting for your gift. the world is waiting for you. 38 sure, other people may be able to sing, but theyll never be able to sing exactly like you. sure, other people can write, but theyll never be able to write from the same point of view in which you write. 39 you can dream about writing a great novel, but its never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. you can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. you cant let fear win. one of the biggest dream killers is fear. there are so many people who could have achieved amazing things if they werent afraid. just think about all the things youve wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you werent capable or good enough. 40 you can choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.a. therefore, today is all we have.b. dreams dont work unless you do.c. remember that fear is just a choice.d. you were born into the world with a unique gift.e. you will be much happier if you go for your dreams.f. there are so many opportunities and people waiting for you.g. how many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?第三部分 完型填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） if you want to stand
