BIt was Monday. Mrs. Smiths dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way.

However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk andplug awayata computer all day.In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest-paying non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a bachelors degree for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years.The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources Officer at CareerBuilder, said in a statement. But some of the healthiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that dont require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.”Here are the top-payingjobs that dont require you to work at a desk in various kinds none of which require a four-year college degree and their hourly salary and growth rate since 2010: professional assistants : $26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers: $37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians: $25.19, 10 percent; and electromechanical technicians: $24.68, 8 percent.While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who dont work at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight.28. What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Turn off a switch. B. Look for a job. C. Keep on working.D. Give up working.29. What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph?A. A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life.B. The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs.C. The college degree is the ticket to a position.D. A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life.30. What is the key reason for the US workforce to change to office-based work?A. High salary. B. Medicine. C. Information technology.D. Work environment.31. The writer attempts to tell us that _.A. “office jobs” are appealing to the middle class B. non-desk jobs are a good choice for usC. office jobs” are secure and high-payingD. non-desk professions are better than office jobs DLearning English as a second language for non-native English speakers is not an easy task. One needs to spend a considerable(相当多的) time before you could speak or write it. There are only two ways to learn the English language or any other language.The first way is very expensive. If you notice, a person moves to another country and stays there for a couple of years and then goes back to his home non-native speaking country, the person becomes accustomed to speaking English. This is the most effective way of learning to speak and write a language unfamiliar to you. The learner learns the language because he / she is forced to do so and there is no other language being used. Not to mention that the learner should adapt to the environment. It is all started from listening. This is the process how language is acquired if you will stay long in a foreign country.The second way is the traditional way of learning English as a second language at school. Obviously, this is cheaper than the first, but it needs a considerable time before you learn the language. Today, there are different language centres offering their services for people to learn the language in your own country. They have all the materials needed because, compared to the first, theyre affordable and reasonable.Nowadays, learning English as a second language is a global trend. Since the English language is used in most of business transactions (交易) you may need it, too. Otherwise you will not go along with the future trends that will arise. 32. The most effective way of learning a second language is to _. A. learn it from native speakers B. spend a lot of time C. practice more D. stay in a speaking country for several days33. The advantage of the traditional learning way is it _. A. needs much time B. is economical and practical C. is simple and practical D. is effective and reasonable34. Now an affordable way to learn a foreign language is to _. A. go to a middle school B. study at a language centre C. communicate with more people D. have a foreign teacher35. From the passage we learn that _. A. learning foreign languages is easy B. there are more than five ways to learn foreign languages C. family environment is very helpful for learning foreign languages D. learning a foreign language is good for your future career第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Four Habits to Help You SucceedNobody would like to experience failure.
