Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneHuman studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didnt exercise showed no improvement.This boost in reaction time after exercise training may occur because declines associated with getting old could actually stem from declines in physical condition. Some scientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attributed to getting old may really be a penalty of neglecting to stay physically active, in addition to related factors such as medicines and poor diet.“In older people, an exercise program appears important for brain maintenance,” says Daniel M. Landers, professor of exercise science at Arizona State University, who recently published an article reviewing the scientific literature on activitys effect on the brain.Numerous studies show that children who engage in regular physical activity do better in school than their inactive classmates. But until recently, the academic edge gained by participating in sports was thought to come from the increased self-confidence, the better mood, and the ability to concentrate that comes from burning off steam in exercise. Now, however, some scientists have revised their way of thinking, and point to possible physical connections.41. The research conducted by Arthur Kramer, at the University of Illinois demonstrated that regular exercise can _.A. clear the brain of certain thoughts B. provide more energyC. make the brain process information faster D. help in hearing tones much better than before42. The reduction in mental function is caused by the following except _. A. being inactive B. diseases C. medicines D. poor diet43. Daniel M. Landers, at Arizona State University, wrote an article about _. A. the scientific works on activitys effect on the brain B. how physical activity has an effect on the brain C. how important an exercise program is for older people D. the importance of exercise science44. The underlined word “edge” in the second line of Paragraph four means _. A. the sharp cutting side of a blade B. keenness C. the part away from the middle D. advantage that one has gained45. Now some scientists have come to know that the academic achievements come from _. A. increased self-confidence B. the ability to concentrate C. regular physical activity D. the better moodPassage Two Mary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating childrens books-her life goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,” she admits. Greeting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range-all as a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbreits distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away-bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. Indeed, its her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreit would eventually realize her dream of illustrating a childrens book. In 1993 she created drawings for a children book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected _. A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cards B. she would be turned down by the book publishers C. she would give a try at drawing greeting card D. she would illustrate childrens book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York, Engelbreit_. A. gave up on drawing illustrations B. drew illustrations for a childrens book C. became a successful illustrator for greeting cards D. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. You can tell Engelbreits cards from 20 paces away by their style of being_. A. plain and funny B. bright and funny C. plain and bold D. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？ A. Cute B. down-to-earth C. cheerful D. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating childrens book because_. A. she learned how to illustrate childrens books B. she kept her feet firmly on the ground C. she overcame many difficulties D. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeHow to impress interviewers? Most people make up their mind about you in the first few minutes, so first impressions are the most important. What follows will be “a conversation with a purpose”, and that purpose is to find out whether youre suitable for the job and if that job is right for you.Be a good listener. Let your interviewer know that youre listening attentively by nodding, using facial expressions that make you look interested, leaning towards the interviewer, picking up on the key words theyve used and asking them to expand on the subjects that interest you. But never interrupt your interviewer.Be honest. If you dont understand a question, ask for an explanation. If youre faced with something you really cant deal with, be truthful about it its more impressive than pretending to have the answer to everything.Avoid the temptation to talk too much. If there are awkward silences when youve finished saying what you want, dont fill them with nervous chatter. Some interviewers use silence to see how youll react. Be aware of your body language. Looking your interviewer in the eyes is essential, but dont overdo it. A smile sets everyone at ease, but a constant grin is not good at all. Try to sit up straight. Leaning forward makes you appear attentive and enthusiastic.Be positive. Even if your last job was terrible, if asked for your reasons for leaving, dont let a negative word pass your lips. Never say anything unfavorable about your colleagues, boss or jobitll just make you look bad. 51. You can become a good listener except that you _.A. use facial expressions to make you look interestedB. nod to show that youre listening attentivelyC. interrupt your interviewer from time to timeD. pick up on key words and ask them to expand on relative subjects52. Some interviewers use silence to_.A. see how youll behave in returnB. make hesitationC. think over the next questionD. let you think your answer carefully53. Which of the following is
