When it ended, job hunting started. The first company I tried turned me down. I started thinking I was worthless. I felt so sad that I found myself crying unconsciously, unable to hold back my tears. When my roommate came, she consoled me, said many words to encourage me, and pointed out the mistakes I had made in the interview so that I would do better the next day. She made me gather strength for the next interview that would come the next day.That night, I kept saying to myself, “Tomorrow is MY day. I will get myself selected tomorrow. ” I kept on saying it the whole night, probably in my sleep too, and in the morning until I faced my interview. I went OK. I believed so.I went through the last part of the selection process, which also went quite well. In the evening the result were announced and I was not selected. I went home thinking that this was not possible. I was not in the mood to prepare for another interview the next day, but I still did so.Next morning, I sat for another written exam for a third company, still thinking about what had happened the day before. When I came out of the room, a student told me that our teacher was searching for me. I went to him and he congratulated me by saying, “You have been selected by the company that came yesterday.” “I knew this had to happen,” my heart said to me. “See! I told you. You could do it. Just believe in yourself!”56. The underlined word “consoled” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “_”.A. comforted B. stopped C. tested D. persuaded57.

But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles. Do the map reading if youre being driven somewhere. Itll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction youre traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or youll have to move to the back seat. Get a group of friends together and go exploring. Youll need a good map, a compass (指南针）, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金）. Tell someone where youre going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together，waiting for slower friends to catch up. See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.）in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, its not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.60. Sitting beside the driver, you should_.A. direct the driver when necessaryB. look ahead to see where theres a turnC. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableD. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to61.

To tell him/her whats going on with the group members.62. Orienteering activities can_.A. make people work fast B. help people stay healthy and have funC. help people organize other activities D. make people get prepared for sports63. The text mainly talks about_.A. the fun of explorationB. what to bring for explorationC. the way to use a map in explorationD. how to prevent getting lost in explorationCA friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isnt fair. Its disappointing, but its absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. Its not and it wont.One of the nice things about surrendering(屈从) to the fact that life isnt fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know its not “lifes job” to make everything perfect, its our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel victimized or unfairly treated.The fact that life isnt fair doesnt mean we shouldnt do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we dont recognize or admit that life isnt fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isnt fair, however, we feel compassion(热情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can persuade you out of self-pity and into helpful action.64. The writer thought of his friends question as a good one because _.A. he also wanted to know who held such an opinionB. it made him recall something during his childhoodC. like his friend, he also thought life was unfairD. he learned something from the question as a youngster65. Surrendering to the fact that life isnt fair will _.A. keep us from making everything perfectB. keep us from doing everything in our powerC. make us face unfair treatment bravelyD. make us know its our duty to perfect things66. The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that _.A. its nice to accept the injustice of life B. its nice to surrender to the lifeC. we should not surrender to the lifeD. we should not feel sorry for everything67. In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to the fact that _.A. you should not pity for othersB. the world isnt fairC. compassion is heartfelt emotionD. pity is a self-defeating emotionDHealthy knees arent the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research says chunky heels are just as bad for the knees as spindly stilettos (细高跟鞋). “It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) - and once you do, it is too late,” said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical Schools department of physical medicine. “I compare it to smoking - one cigarette is not painful, but over a lifetime it is. Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable, so women wear them all day long, “Kerrigan said. “They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as bad for your knees.”In the study, researchers had twenty women wear two pairs of shoes with three-inch heels, one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one. The scientists compared how much pressure was put on the womens knees by both types of shoes. The women also walked barefoot to test normal pressure. The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees. Compared with walking barefoot, the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent. Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis(关节炎), experts say.The idea that high heels are bad for your health isnt new - scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained (扭伤) ankles and back problems. But in 1998, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint d
