for it and explain to the cashier 33 it is to go to I live in a pretty small town so it s easy to get the help of the cashiers They then give it to that person when they come through Once in a while I ll buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier That gets smiles My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the 34 somewhat confused I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once When she came to the check out I was watching from outside her face 35 and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen Later that week the cashier

uncomfortable over time When you select your career there s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position If you ignore your personality it will hurt you long term regardless of your skills or the job s pay There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job Here are a few of those main areas 1 Do you prefer working alone or with other people There are isolating 使孤立 jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation 2 How do you handle change Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them but some are more than others If you need stability in your life you may need a job where the changes don t happen so often Other people would be bored of the same daily routine 3 Do you enjoy working with computers I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day Again these are extremes and you ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well 4 What type of work environment do you enjoy 5 This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won t know immediately to a smaller setting where you ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly 5 How do you like to get paid Some people are motivated by the pay they get while others feel too stressed to be like that The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this Anyway these are a great starting point for you I ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love It may take you a little longer but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better 41 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A Isolating jobs usually drive people mad B Interactive jobs make people shy easily C Extreme people tend to work with others D Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs 42 What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean A Before you select your job you should assess your skills and match them with your position B There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job C Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job D You should ignore your skills when you select job 43 What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart A Design B Changes C Cooperation D Hobbies B B I opened my new patient s chart and headed for her room My son Eric had just brought home a disappointing report card and my daughter Shannon and I had argued again about her getting a driver s license For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did Rebekah mother of three lovely little girls was only 32 admitted for chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery When I gave her an skills Jobs Environment Motivation Stability 6 injection Rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over Then she smiled and squeezed my hand Before you go could you get my Bible from the table I handed her the worn book Do you have a favorite Bible verse she asked Jesus wept John 11 35 Such a sad one she said Why It makes me feel closer to Jesus knowing he also experienced human sorrow Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me During the following months her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children One day when I entered her room I found her talking into a tape recorder She picked up a notebook and held it out to me I m making a tape for my daughters she said I read the list on her pad starting school confirmation turning 16 first date graduation While I worried how to help her deal with death she was planning for her children s future She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions She filled them with family stories and advice trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours Finally every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband I often wondered what I would say in her place My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent with my constant questions about where they d been and who they d been with Where I thought are my words of encouragement and love It was three o clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape She was breathing hard when I entered her room I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips Ruthie Hannah Molly this is the most important tape She held my hand and closed her eyes Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy Please make her feel special Show her how to take care of you Ruthie honey help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday Hannah tell her you don t want meat sauce on your spaghetti Molly don t get mad if there s no apple juice Drink something else It s okay to be sad sweeties Jesus cried too He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again Remember I ll always love you I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply Thank you Nan You ll give this one to them won t you she murmured as she slid into sleep A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah s children but right then after I smoothed Rebekah s blanket I got in my car and hurried home I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk which had annoyed me so many times seemed to make her so much more precious That night the kids didn t go out they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes And we talked without interrogations without complaints late into the night 44 From the first paragraph we can learn that 7 A Nan was in a bad state

history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub Antarctic island of South Georgia Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013 and 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world s most important nesting sites for seabirds It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment If we can destroy the rats at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia says Tony Martin a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people Though rats and mice have done the most damage cats foxes goats deer rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand s Campbell Island currently the largest area ever killing rats The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters 8 New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand s technology Says Martin Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign including our chief pilot Peter Garden who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific The second and third stages in 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live It is a huge operation carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months Ideally we d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky Martin says The ecological payback will be priceless But Martin says The full benefits will take decades to arrive because some of these birds are slow to hatch 48 According to the passage how did the rats appear on the sub Antarctic island of South Georgia A They were attracted there by wildlife B They escaped there from Campbell Island C They were introduced there by sailors accidently D They were brought in by people deliberately 49 Which of the following is True about Peter Garden A He is in charge of the campaign on the sub Antarctic island B He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub Antarctic island C He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub Antarctic island D He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island 50 The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because A the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn B only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time C rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife D the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season 51 What can we infer from the passage A The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time B Rats aren t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife C The first stage of killing rats on the sub Antarctic island didn t make great achievements D The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island 9 D D According to a study by SallieMae 84 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards and by the time they are seniors
