阅读理解     Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the
way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing
jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.
     Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they
can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for
something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary
up to their expectation.
     Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.
The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的)
guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when
they lookfor a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for
the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing
yourself and your dependants (受赡养者)with daily bread and some money for leisure and
entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of
friends, leisure and interest.
     In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest.
Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your
talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.1. Few school leavers have plans for the long term when finding jobs because ________.A. they are lowly paid
B. they are not well trained
C. it is difficult to get employed
D. they don"t know what they are interested in2. According to the passage, the difficulty in choosing a suitable job mainly lies in that ________.A. much competition has to be faced
B. many employees have no working experience
C.  the young people only care about how much they        can earn
D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance3. In the writer"s opinion, which of the following statements     is most important?A. Your job must suit your interest.
B. Your job must set a pattern of life.
C. Your job must offer you a high salary.
D. Your job must not ruin your talents.

     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。

     In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know
your website.   __1__ Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled
with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
     __2__  Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site
can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
     While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版
面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of
the site.  Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
    __3__  Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that
you want to put on the site.
     While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:   __4__  If you
are too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your
site.
     Less is better. Most people don"t like to read a lot of text online.   __5__
     Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes
small.
     Have the rights. Don"t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Learn
theNet"s Copyright Article for more about this.
     Now it"s time to roll up your sleeves and start building.
A. Start simply.
B. Break it into small pieces.
C. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.
D. Many websites are considered very interesting.
E. Before you start building your site, do some planning.
F. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.
G. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.

about what we want to be,what we want to do,what makes us proud and happy and what we
will become.

and we move on.The change,the need to do the important things,the jobs,the pressures and the
failures,all kill part of our dreams.
     Things have changed,but they cannot really take away the dreams.We still have to dream on,
to realize our desires,our wants,our future,even when we are considered too old for such things.

阅读理解。     A new guidebook says being_happy_is_just_like_being_fit-you need to practice the skills
needed to get this emotion,even during the darkest times.
     Roadtesting Happiness:How to be Happier by Australian journalist and author Sophie
Scott is a selfhelp book with a difference."Being happy is something you need to focus on;
it doesn"t come as a matter of course,"  Scott said."You always need to make an effort to be
happy,even if you reach the point of saying you are contented,you still need to keep focusing
and working on the things that made you happy." Scott also said the book was born out of her
interest in the human mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of
cancer two years ago.
     "I was always interested in psychology,but a lot of happiness books don"t address the fact that
you can be happy even if your life isn"t going according to plan.The key is managing expectations."
She says,"In the book,I focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy,the
ones with the most scientific evidence."  People should think that being happy is yet another task
you have to do and then feel guilty when you don"t do it.Scott says the road to a positive outlook
begins with very easy,small steps.
     "Women in particular today______________:they"ve got to be thin,got to have a career,got
to have a perfect relationship so the last thing you need is to be thinking you"ve got to be happy
all the time,"  she said."But it is important to improve your quality of life.Stop rushing around and
filling each moment of the day with things to do,and then sit down and think about your life and
how you"re feeling.The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort:feeling more
grateful for the things you"ve got;adjusting your reaction to situations and people.It"s about changing
small habits,more tinkering around the edges instead of totally checking and changing your life."1.By saying "being happy is just like being fit",the author probably means________.A.people should practice how to remain happy
B.people should spend more time working out
C.keeping happy is the key to continuing our life
D.it"s difficult for people to keep happy all the time2.What should we do if we want to remain happy in Scott"s opinion?A.Do some scientific research into the skills of being happy.
B.Work hard to achieve your expectations.
C.Read more books about psychological activities.
D.Think that being happy is a very important task to do.3.Which of the following would be proper to be filled in the blank?A.get high expectation
B.feel overloaded
C.can"t look after themselves well
D.have no friends to help them
