A
I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking about what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
21．What is the author’s present job?
A．Working part-time in a college.
B．Taking care of children for a family.
C．Helping children with their schoolwork.
D．Looking after children at a kindergarten.
22．When staying with the two girls’ family, the author        .
A．was paid for extra work B．often worked long hours
C．got much help from her boss D．took a day off every other week
23．Why did the author leave her first job?
A．She found a full-time job.
B．She was fed up with children.
C．She decided to attend a part-time course.
D．She needed a rest after working extra hours.
24．What has the author learned from her own experiences?
A．Less successful students can still have a career.
B．Qualifications are necessary for a career.
C．Hard work makes an excellent student.
D．One must choose the job he/she likes.
B
Your friends’ lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook, but new research shows that is because they are faking(伪造) them.
A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous. And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers(同龄人) based on what they saw on their Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook pages.
The British survey, by smartphone maker HTC, found that, in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, 6% also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and family.
Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world of instant communication,” she said. “Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines; now people are in search of authentic(真实的), peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”
“With images being shared in an instant we desire to know what our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram. 76% of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see.
25. How do some people make their lives appear more exciting?
A. By buying pictures. B. By posting images.
C. By making up stories. D. By risking their lives.
26. What can we learn from Hemmings?
A. The trend reflects the development of social media.
B. Fashion and style no longer exist in magazines.
C. Magazines and newspapers are less important.
D. The trend is beyond people’s expectation.
27. Which of the following best describes social media like Instagram?
A. Persuasive. B. Creative. C. Positive. D. Honest.
C

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。
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
__31__. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from one task to another. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. __32__
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. __33__ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. __34__ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
__35__ enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A．To fight family laziness, set an example.
B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D．Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E．With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G．Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
