第二部分阅读理解（共两节；满分50分）

A
Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, 'Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood."
“Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. Youchoose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: it's your choice how to live life."
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, the robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found immediately and sent to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him about the incident, he replied, "Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that came into my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied." Then as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or choose to die. I choose to live.
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.
31. Which of the following can best describe Jerry?

D. Jerry received an immediate operation after the robbery.
34. Which of the following could be the best title?

New mothers who read and write blogs (博客）may feel less alone than mothers who do not participate(参与）in a blogging community, according to family studies researchers. "It looks like blogging might be helping these women because they may begin to feel more connected to their extended family and friends, which leads them to feel more supported," said Brandon T. McDaniel, graduate student in human development and family studies at Penn State.
McDaniel and colleagues from Brigham Young University surveyed 157 new mothers about their media use and. their happiness. The moms were all first-time parents with only one child under the age of 18 months ~ most much younger than this. The researchers report in the online version of Maternal and Child Health Journal that blogging had a positive impact (影响）on new mothers, but social networking — mainly Facebook and MySpace -- did not seem to impact them.
"We're not saying that those who end up feeling more supported all of a sudden no longer have stresses, they're still going to have those stressful moments you have as a parent," said McDaniel. "But because they're feeling more supported, their thoughts and their feelings about that stress might change, and they begin to feel less stressed about those things."
McDaniel pointed out several potential benefits for new mothers who blog, including giving moms both a way to connect with family and friends who do not live nearby and an outlet to use and show their hobbies and accomplishments, particularly for stay-at-home moms.
Because this is one of the first studies to look at the effects of participation in online communities on new mothers, McDaniel noted that there is not enough information collected yet to determine how or why blogging and social networking have markedly different impacts on new moms. However, this study demonstrated that mothers who blogged frequently show stronger connections to their family and friends. That possibility is going to have some other profound influences on them, including their relationship with their husband, the ways that they're feeling about their parenting stress, and eventually into their levels of depression.
35. What does the underline part "these women" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Mothers who read and write blogs.
B. Mothers who do not participate in a blogging community.
C. New mothers who read and write blogs.
D. New mothers who like using Facebook.
36. Which of the following people might have been surveyed?
A. Kate, who is a mother of a 6-year-old boy.
B. Betty, who is going to be a mother.
C. Joe, who is a mother of a 5-month-old boy and a 2-year-old girl.
D. Susan, who is a mother of a 6-month-old boy.
37. Which of the following is true about blogging according to the passage?
A. Stay-at-home moms benefit more from Blogging.
B. Blogging and social networking share the same effect on new mothers.
C. New mothers who blog are completely free of stresses.
D. Blogging provides new mothers with a good place to show their baby photos.
38. What can be concluded from this study?
A. Men play an important role in bringing up their children.
B. Modern technology does more harm than good to mothers.
C. It's important for mothers to feel connected and supported in life.
D. Mothers of more children feel less stressed than those with only one child.

The smart job-seeker needs to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.
Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.
Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means reject job offers you don't want! Unskilled job-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating employers' expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don't want. So before you hand in your resignation, be sure you want the new one.
Myth 2: Try to control the interview.
Nobody controls an interview, neither you nor the interviewer, although one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we hate it. When we try to control somebody, he makes us feel uncomfortable. Remember, you can't control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can't control what you think of him. So hang loose when interviewing, or you may give people the impression that you are not believable.
Myth 3: ______ ______
Another silly myth. If you don't disagree at times, you become, in effect ，a “yes’， woman. Don't be afraid to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And don't hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer says to himself, "There is a person with an open mind!” The conventional wisdom says "be yourself，，true enough. But how many people can be themselves if they don't feel free to disagree?
Click here to get more silly myths and useful suggestions.
39. What is this passage trying to tell us?
A. Some accepted advice about interviewing is actually not true.
B. Interviews don't help people to get the jobs they really want.
C. "yes" women are more likely to get good jobs.
D. It's silly to take an interview too seriously.
40. Which of the following might be Myth 3?
A. Always please the interviewer.
B. Show gratitude to your interviewer.
C. Never interrupt the interviewer.
D. Don't disagree with the interviewer.
41. In the writer's opinion, a job-seeker should ______.
A. be what he himself is
B. be flexible to choose a job
C. be polite and agree with your interviewer
D. be what the interviewer wants him to be
42. Where can the passage most likely be found?'
A. In the newspaper. B. In the textbook.
C. On the website. D. In the magazine.

Global food prices have jumped up by 10% in the month of July, raising fears of soaring prices for the planet's poorest, the World Bank has warned. The price of key grains such as corn, wheat and soybean saw the most dramatic increases. From June to July this year, corn and wheat prices each rose by 25% while soybean prices increased by 17%, the World Bank said. Only rice prices decreased by 4%.
The bank said that a US heatwave and drought in parts of Eastern Europe were partly to blame for the rising costs. In the United States, the most severe, widespread drought in half a century has resulted in decreasing production on the corn and soybean crops while in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, wheat crops have been badly damaged.
Overall, the World Bank's Food Price Index, which tracks the price of internationally traded food commodities, was six percent higher than in July of last year, and one percent over its previous peak, in February 2011.
World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said countries in North and Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East were among those most exposed to such price increases because much of their food was imported and food bills make up a large proportion(比例）of average household spending. Already, the bank said, maize prices had increased by 113% over the past quarter in Mozambique, while sorghum had risen 220% in South Sudan.
The bank also mentioned that there were other potential risks which could push grain prices higher. These included exporters pursuing panic policies, a severe El
Nino, disappointing Southern hemisphere crops and strong increases in energy prices.
The G20 group of leading economies has said it will not take any decision on joint action until the US agriculture department's September estimate of this year's harvest. But aid chari
