The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and Ill send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I dont have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “Im sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you dont have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesnt exist cannot have the job. ” The man left with no hope at all. He didnt know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket.

Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US. He started to plan his familys future and decided to have a life insurance.

But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动). Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays(浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe, so they may be sleeping even when theyre swimming in the water. From 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaiis Big Island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to Julian Tyne, a researcher at Australias Murdoch University. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favorable places, putting them at risk of attack by sharks and other animals. Besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. Thus, they cant get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population,” Ann Garrett of NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Service told the Associated Press. As a result, the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example, the agency (机构) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state. 32. Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?A. They spend most of their time sleeping at night.B. They like to stay in shallow bays during the day.C. They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.D. They may be sleeping even when theyre swimming.33. When dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat, they _.A. would swim to a crowded place B. could move closer to sharksC. could become less active D. could likely sleep longer34. Which activity is against the rules?A. Swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.B. Swimming in bays where the dolphins live.C. Making signs that show the dolphins resting state.D. Making signs that show where the dolphins are.35. What does the article mainly talk about?A. What habits dolphins have. B. What spinner dolphins are.C. How the animals live in the sea. D. How to protect dolphins near the shore.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。Does this situation seem familiar(熟悉) to you?

By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.A. And listening is a problem for most of the beginners!B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.C. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.D. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.E.
