Life can teach you things that no one else can. Luckily for you, school is in session and Ill be your teacher. Pay attention and you might make it through what I call the school of life.Use your headYouve to have smarts to survive in this world. Anytime you need to make a move, stop and think. Obviously therell be times when you need to take action first, but if youve been taking the time to plan, youll always make the right decision.Finish the jobIn my team, you finish the job or we finish you. Your focus should be on building a foundation of solid and complete work. Figure out a list of what you have to do and start with the biggest and most difficult task. The key here is focus.Respect your superiorsYour boss is in his position for a reason, despite what you might think of him. If hes not the best one, be patient - hell be out there soon. In the meanwhile, you have to respect him as your superior. That means following orders and biting your tongue. If you dont respect your boss, how do you expect the people under you to do?Keep your coolYou should never let your emotions control you. You should learn to keep calm. Never lose your cool when dealing with business or it will ruin the whole thing.The school of life can be hard, but if youre smart and play your cards right, you can come out with an A+. Just treat every situation as a learning experience.31.

Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The hard school of life B. Learning from the school of lifeC. All of your favorite education D. Hoping for a chance to succeedBJapans youth are losing interest in science and as a result, threatening the nations industrial progress. According to Japan Science and Technology Agency, young Japanese are surrounded by high-tech devices (设备), but are not interested in how they work.Japanese businesses have succeeded partly because theyve a great many engineers. A drop in interest could lead to a decline in their numbers and quality. “In the past, the young had a big interest in science and technology,” said Hirano, director of the agencys policy department.There are two main reasons for the problem. The first is known as “black box syndrome(综合症)” of modern technology.Electronic devices depend on tiny silicon chips, which can only be made in big factories, whose working cant be seen by the eyes. The devices, unlike machines of the past driven by gears and wheels, are simply boxes.Young Japanese, brought up on video games and at home with computers, enjoy using modern technology, but this is a passive interest and different from the curiosity about how things work. “You need an active interest to get interested in science. This is declining in the young,” said Hirano.About two-thirds of Japanese in their 20s use PCs, twice the number of those in their 50s. But only 40% of those in their 20s say they are interested in news about science and technology, compared to 60% of the 50 to 60 year olds.“Another reason for it is that life in modern Japan is too comfortable,” he said. “A wealthy society reduces peoples desire to modernize and develop their country. To a degree, you cant avoid this when the fruits of science and technology are fully developed.” Similarly, science in Europe and the US has also suffered a lack of interest.34. Japanese youths interest in science is dropping probably because _.A. scientists dont make much money in JapanB. there are too many scientists in Japan alreadyC. science is more difficult for young people to learnD. theyre not curious about how high-tech devices work35. The underlined word “their” (in paragraph 2) refers to _.A. Japanese businesses B. Japanese engineersC. Japans youths D. high-tech devices36. Why does science meet the same problem in Japan, the US and Europe?A. People are satisfied with the convenience high-tech devices bring to them.B. People believe they dont need to develop their science any more.C. People think high-tech devices destroy the environment.D. People dont want to live the modernized life.37. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Older people are probably more interested in science in Japan.B. Electronic devices are made of parts that cannot be seen at all.C. Japans youth live too comfortably to take interest in science.D. About one-third of Japanese people in their 50s use computers.CYellowstone WeatherYellowstone National Park is at high altitude (海拔高度). Most of the park is over 7500 feet (2275meters).Yellowstones weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperature in the high 70s.

Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere - from trees and grasses to agricultural and city - life wastes - biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide, because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the suns energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery (电池) for storing the suns energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously - with only as much grown as is used - the “battery” lasts forever.According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2020, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nations total electricity supply. In 2020 - although the numbers arent all in yet - wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.Producing power form biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowners money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.42. Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”?A. It burns merely plant matter.B. It keeps producing electricity.C. It stores the energy from the sun.D. It produces zero carbon dioxide.43. We learn from the text that in 2020 _.A. wind power would be the leader of renewable energyB. there was a rapid growth of electricity productionC. biomass might become the main energy sourceD. 0.5 - 0.9% of power came from biomass44. Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?A. To prevent the waste of energy. B. To increase production safety.C. To reduce pollution. D. To save money.45. Where does the text probably come from?A. A research plan. B. A science magazine.C. A book review. D. A business report.ESome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.46. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about_.A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of successC. the standards of success D. the importance of success47. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to _.A.
