We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke (破产).” And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, and most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the class I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonalds is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the Hamburger.51. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A.he is just one of the talented peopleB.he is ready to help othersC.he has a sharp sense of hearingD.he knows little about car repairing52. The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by .A. spend more than they can afford B. do in their own wayC. live in their own circle D. live within what they earn53. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They dont work hard enough. B. They lack financial intelligence.C. They dont make full use of their talents. D. They have no specialized skills.54. The success of McDonalds lies in its .A. skills at making hamburgers B. good business systemsC. talented workers D. excellent service55. The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach studentsC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonalds makes much moneyBTalking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically,” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown，for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that its being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby.“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with,” Schultz explained.“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves,” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant,In the end, plants ability to communicate their needs and our ability to understand them could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals，cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.56. The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can .A. communicate with other living things in a chemical wayB. hardly react to any sudden change in temperatureC. use a very special chemical language which is familiar to usD. respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals57. When being eaten by an insect, the plant will .A. walk away from troubleB. change its chemistry to kill the insectC. release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for helpD. give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest58. The underlined word “alert” most probably means .A. warn B. protectC. threaten D. allow59. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Communication between PlantsB. A Chemical “Language”C. Plants Can Talk D. How Plants Protect ThemselvesCDeputy (副职) Head Teacher WantedPosition: Deputy Head teacherEmployer: Bracknell Forest CouncilPublished: 10: 00 A. M. Mon.

She seemed far more enthusiastic than skillful.Four years later, Swift became a multi-award winner. This month, she was crowned “Woman of the Year” by Billboard magazine, the youngest singer-song-writer ever to receive the honor. “Aged only 21 Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for hopeful artists and young women everywhere,” said Bill Werde, Billboards director.Werdes words do not come from nowhere. Unlike many pop singers, especially those who do not write their own material, Swill has the power of turning her ideas into lyrics that will set people thinking. “Hidden beneath Taylor Swifts not-a-girl, not-yet-a-woman sweetness is a very skillful songwriting technique,” wrote Leah Greenblatt in an American magazine.Songwriting, as Swift explains, is to cope with issues. “I tend to write about things that really impact me most.” There certainly seems to be something true and honest running through every one of the l4 songs on her album, Speak Now, about “the lessons and confusion and heartbreak and all the different things that go along with being 18, 19 and 20.”“For the audience too young to have experienced real passion or heartbreak, Swift s songs are like a potential road map, promising things will work out OK,” commented Dorian ynskey in a British newspaper.Now Swift is getting ready to go further and has so far written about 10 songs for her 2020 album, which is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult. “Theyre sad if Im being honest.” “Theyre about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. Youre not always going to be perfectly happy as you grow up.”63. What
