I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didnt have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasnt the type to have a career.I then found myself a job，looking after two little girls. It wasnt too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in，so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，shed give me time off the next. But unfortunately，it didnt often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.2013学年第二学期期中杭州地区六校联考高二年级英语学科试卷 第4页（共8页）One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didnt think I would be accepted because I didnt take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now Ive got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you arent top of the class at school.46. When staying with the two girls family, the author _.A. was paid for extra workB. often worked long hoursC. got much help from her bossD. took a day off every other week47.

Less successful students can still have a career.B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.D. One must choose the job she likes. BAs a student and traveler abroad alone, I often need to find ways to make friends and meet others. Usually, starting conversations and being approachable is enough, but sometimes language barriers and other cultural differences make even the friendly interactions difficult. Because of their open lobbies (休息室) and friendly atmosphere, hostels (青年旅馆 ) are a fantastic place to meet others. Hostels are designed to be social places, so if you hang out in the common areas，youre sure to make new friends who are traveling as well.Hostels are also much less expensive than hotels. For budget travelers, this can help you save a lot of money. If you dont want to share a room with anyone, some hostels have a private room option, giving guests private accommodations quite similar to a hotel. Many hostels cost as little as a few dollars per night, usually about the price of a wonderful meal or a couple of souvenirs.In terms of safety, all of the hostels I have seen have staff on hand 24 hours per day, standing right by the front door. They are there so that guests have everything they need at all times, and they also make sure that the hostels are kept safe and free of non-guests and bad things. Most hostels require a key to enter a lot of the areas, ensuring that only registered guests have access to the facilities. There are lockers available for your belongings to ensure that they do not get stolen or broken, and some places have a room marked for luggage so that you can explore without bringing all of your things.Although not every hostel is the same, each one has its own personality, and they all attract a lot of enthusiastic travelers eager to share their stories and make new memories around the world.49.

What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Many hostels are of poor quality. B. Every hostel has its own features.C. Travelers make up many stories about hostels.D. Hostels make travelers more enthusiastic about traveling CMy mother did quite a fine job loving me, teaching me, and pushing me to be an outstanding young man. She taught me to love all people regardless of background or education, and constantly reminded me of how special I was and my splendid future as a great leader one day. I believed her.But she died when I was 14, and I was left to figure out the world around me on my own. So I had to be responsible for getting myself up and going to school. I had to be also responsible for where I ate and slept. I spent most of high school killing time from one friends house to another.My condition did not stop me from finally getting into college, and I spent my first year at Iowa State University. Unfortunately, I was not ready for college. I ended up back in Chicago, having left school with no job and no bright future.I was lost. I pretty much wandered around for several months without thinking about my future. I mostly thought about how sad I felt and how much of a loser I had become. I started spending more time just hanging around. One day I walked out in the cold air. My legs felt like they were tied to a ball and chain. I labored with every single step.“This cant be my life,” I announced to myself. I closed my eyes and started praying. My whole world soon became dark and I had a moment of clarity(清晰) I have yet to forget. I saw my entire life unfold in an instant. My first vision consisted of the path I was on. The second vision consisted of taking another path. I saw my wife, my children, my struggles, my success, everything. Most importantly, I saw the expectations my mother had for me to become someone special.At that very moment, I believed her again, and my life was never the same. I found a mentor(导师) who helped me into Roosevelt University. He even helped me to get financial aid and a dormitory room. That term I earned all As. I graduated three years later with two degrees. Soon, I went to law school, became a lawyer, and started a family.It is the love, attention, and support of a parent that can make or break the people we turn out to be.53.

Having close relationships is one of the most meaningful elements to happiness. Also, social contact brings a big boost in moodfor extroverts and introverts alike.To form a friendship, you must like someone. But you must also be likeable. These four strategies will increase your chances of that happening.57. _Studies show that the word that people say more than any other word is “I”. People love to talk about themselves, their lives, their hobbies, their families, their passions, etc. when you become interested in people, ask them questions and allow them to talk. They will like you for that.58. _ 2013学年第二学期期中杭州地区六校联考高二年级英语学科试卷 第7页（共8页）People love it when you talk to them in terms of their interests. They love it when you are knowledgeable on subjects they enjoy. They love it when you can have intelligent conversation with them about what matters most to them. One way to do this is to study topics of their interests before you meet with people.
