unforgettable thing for him on his first day in america.without a moments hesitation(犹豫)，he answered，“finding a public bathroom.”some countries have public rest rooms that are in plain view on city streets or in small buildings that are clearly marked，but the united states does not.in america，public rest rooms are located in gasoline stations (where its clean and free，although one may need to ask the attendant for a key)，airports，bus stations and railroad stations.restaurants，libraries，large stores，theaters and all places where the public is welcome are supplied with rest rooms.you can go into any hotel and ask for the“ladies room”or“mens room”，even if you are not a guest at the hotel.dont be confused by the name on the doors of the rest rooms.sometimes they are marked “men” or “women” or “ladies” or “dames”；or simply “rest room”there may be a picture or other sign on the door indicating(表明) whether it is a mens or ladies room.restaurants especially follow this custom.womens rooms are often called “powder rooms”the european terms “comfort station or wc” are rarely used in the united states，but generally understood.31rest room is _.awc in europebfor people to have a breakca useless roomdthe room for amusement32in some countries there are public rest rooms that _.aare difficult to find in the streetbare not clearly markedcare easy to find in the street and clearly markeddyou must buy a ticket before entering33in america，public rest rooms can be found easily in the following places except _ according to the passage.aairports bschoolscbus stations drailway stations34“powder rooms” refers to “_” in america.awc bmens roomcladies room dcomfort station35why is it difficult for a visitor to find the wc when he first comes to america?abecause there are no toilets in america.bbecause he doesnt know the customs.cbecause he cant speak english.dbecause he takes the wrong way.cas you grow older，youll be faced with some challenging decisionslike whether to cut class or try cigarettes.making decisions on your own is hard enough，but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder.people who are your age，like your classmates，are called peers.when they try to influence(影响) how you act，to get you to do something，its called peer pressure.peers can have a positive influence on each other.maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system.maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book，and now everyones reading it.these are examples of how peers positively influence each other.sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.for example，a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them；your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.it is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure，but you can do it.paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.youve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”peer pressure is a big reason why they say this.if you choose friends who dont cut class，smoke cigarettes，or lie to their parents，then you probably wont do these things either，even if other kids do.if you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle，talk to someone you trust.dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.36for whom is the passage most probably written?astudents. bparents.cteachers.

more relaxing hobbies.cchoosing friends with no bad habits.dhelping others who are in trouble.40what is the topic of the passage?afriendship. bmaking decisions.cselfconfidence. dpeer pressure.dexam results do not matter to future employers as much as candidates(应试者)who are “jobready” and have a broad range of life，work and social skills，business groups say.while parents and students alike worry about school grades and exam results，employers are looking for something that sets a potential employee apart from the average job seeker.business council of australia spokesman scott thompson said that while education was important，it was the skills learned through extracurricular(课外的)activities that really mattered to an employer.“employers are increasingly focused on graduates who are jobready，” mr.thompson said.“theyre looking at the sorts of，what we call，employability skillsthat graduates can bring.part of that comes from quality education，but those who have vocational experience that can be useful for the jobs theyre looking for；theyre going to be considered very favorably.”mr.thompson said young peoplewhether theyre in high school or universityneed to get extra skills on their resumes(个人简历) if they want an advantage over their peers(同龄人)“as a general principle，graduates and young people who are looking to enter the workforce should think about the sorts of employability skills theyre going to need to meet the requirements of jobs theyll be looking at in the years ahead，” he said.“so if they can bring those skill sets to the table，they should be well positioned to succeed in the job market.”business sa chief executive peter vaughan agreed，saying that while the importance of education should not be downplayed，experience was often the deal maker in the employment process.“education is a major factor in all kinds of employment，and we cannot underestimate(低估) its importance，but having experience in the workforce provides invaluable assistance and guidance to students and allows employers to recruit school leavers with skills relevant to the workplace，” he said.41what sets a potential employee apart from the average job seeker?ahigh examination scores.ba wide range of knowledge.cpractical work and life skills.dgood educational background.42according to scott thompson，_.astudents should focus on their school lessonsbstudents should choose to
