We spoke to two young people who have had active, outdoor jobs and asked them about their experiences. Here is what they told us: Aaron, 16, Australia Summer job: lifeguard I enjoyed my summer as a lifeguard. The beach was a great place to work, and the views of the ocean were beautiful, but there wasn’t much time to relax. It’s a serious job and someone has to watch the swimmers all the time. We always worked with a partner. Each lifeguard watched for an hour and then took a break. I’m proud to say that my partner and I saved seven people this summer. As well as being very strong swimmers, lifeguards should be at least sixteen years old and have qualifications (资格) in first-aid and water-rescue techniques (技术). I did a training program and learned these skills before I started work. Yasmin, 18, U.K. Summer Job: activity leader This summer, I worked at a children’s summer camp as an activity leader. It was tiring but fun. We organized sports, games, and activities for the kids. We also took the older children swimming in the river. In the evenings, we organized dances and quizzes. Most of the time the kids were great, and I worked with some lovely people and made some really good friends. It was quite well-paid, and you were so busy that you didn’t have time to spend any money. I lived for free in the camp accommodations (住宿). All our meals were free, too, so I saved a lot of money over the summer. 41．Who was the most likely Aaron’s partner during the summer holiday? A．Alex loves the beach but knows little about first-aid.

View (199) Reply (39) Like (200) Aug4 Answers: Ai Akasaki 16, Japan Many Japanese high school students feel worried about how they look. Unlike people in western countries, people are usually shy and quiet in Japan. This makes students less confident and stop them from showing who they are. For example, sometimes they wear masks because of allergic reactions (过敏症状) in spring. However, even in other seasons, many of my classmates still keep their masks on. They feel nervous about showing their faces.                                Grace Patterson 13, Australia At my school, not many people worry about how they look. In Australia, we have people from many different cultures, so there are many different ideas about beauty and style. People won’t stop being your friend just because of how you look. In Australia, schools let students truly be themselves, and people care more about your personality than your appearance. They even dislike to follow their favourite singers. Luna Serrano 14, Mexico Many students in Mexico feel nervous about how they look. For example, I’ve seen classmates get anxious when they get pimples (青春痘) on their faces. These worries are common among teenagers as our bodies change and grow. Although these worries can be hard to get through, it helps you know yourself better and feel happier. Focus on what you’re good at. Remember, nobody is perfect, and it’s OK to look different.                                                     48．Why did Zhang post the questions on her blog? A．She wants to share her personal experience. B．She wants to make new friends from all over the world. C．She wants to ask her teachers some questions about looks. D．She wants to know how other teenagers think about looks. 49．Why do Japanese students worry about their looks? A．They easily become fat. B．They are shy and not confident. C．They usually get pimples on their faces. D．They want to look the same as super stars. 50．What do Australian students mostly agree with? A．Kindness is more important than looks. B．Schools should teach students how to look good. C．Beauty matters a lot in Australia. D．Good-looking people can be true friends. 51．Who may share similar worries about their appearance? A．Students from Mexico and Japan. B．Students from Japan and Australia. C．Students from China and Australia. D．Students from Australia and Mexico. 【答案】48．D 49．B 50．A 51．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些国家的学生对长相的看法。 48．细节理解题。根据“Do students in your country worry about how they look? What makes them feel this way?”可知她想知道学生是否会担心自己的长相。故选D。 49．细节理解题。根据“Unlike people in western countries, people are usually shy and quiet in Japan. This makes students less confident and stop them from showing who they are”可知日本人通常很害羞，也很安静，这会让学生变得不那么自信。故选B。 50．推理判断题。根据“In Australia, schools let students truly be themselves, and people care more about your personality than your appearance”可知在澳大利亚，学校让学生真正做自己，人们更关心你的个性而不是你的外表，由此推测澳大利亚的学生会认为善良比外貌更重要。故选A。 51．细节理解题。根据“Many Japanese high school students feel worried about how they look”以及“Many students in Mexico feel nervous about how they look”可知日本和墨西哥的学生会担心他们的长相。故选A。 When talking about their personalities (性格), people often say they are extrovert or introvert. Introverts, according to Harvard Health, like staying in their own world while extroverts get joy through socializing (社交). Interest in the personalities is rising, with the popularity of MBTI tests on Chinese social media. But some people are not sure about the differences between being introverts and having a social phobia (社恐). Some even make an excuse (借口) of having a social phobia to avoid any social events. Sometimes, it’s understandable, because they hope to keep a safe social distance (距离). However, there is a difference. People with the social phobia feel uncomfortable with their body and mind when socializing with others. In Xiaohongshu, a user named Kuaile Xiaoyueba shares her experiences with people who use the social phobia as an excuse. As a teacher in high school, Xiaoyueba needs to check on her students’ studies often. When she asks them questions face to face, some students choose to answer. Others, however, don’t answer and leave without a word. In Xiaoyueba’s mind, some of them are truly shy but others are just labeling (贴标签) themselves as “too cool” to reply. “It makes me sad and even doubt myself,” she wrote. These students may feel “safe” or be showing their true self. But they may also be pushing away or hurting people who really care about them. Avoiding social situations will not help them over a long period of time. Socializing should be a way to connect with others. No matter if we are introverts or extroverts, we all need to understand each other. 52．Which word can best describe extroverts? A．Shy. B．Outgoing. C．Polite. 53．What are introvert people like? A．They enjoy being alone. B．They like to label others in their own ways. C．They feel uncomfortable with body and mind when socializing. 54．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

It stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and it helps you understand your personality type. The test is based on four pairs of opposite traits: Extroversion (外向的) and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving. 56 Extroversion and Introversion look at whether you prefer being with people or spending time alone. 57 They enjoy being around others and get energy from social interactions. On the other hand, Introverts prefer quieter environments and enjoy spending time alone or with a few close friends. 58 Sensing types like to focus on facts and details, while Intuitive types are more interested in ideas and possibilities. This aspect helps you understand how you process information. The Thinking and Feeling is about how you make decisions. 59 They use logic and reason to make choices. Feeling types, however, consider how people will be affected by their decisions and try to make choices that are fair and caring. Finally, the Judging and Perceiving looks at how you deal with tasks and planning. Judging types like to plan and organize. They like to have a plan and stick to it. Perceiving types, on the other hand, are more flexible and prefer to go with the flow. In recent years, the MBTI test has gained popularity in various fields such as job market. 60 However, it’s crucial to remember that people are complex, and a simple four-letter code can’t fully describe the small difference of an individual’s personality. A．Sensing and Intuition are the second pair. B．Extroverts are outgoing and social. C．Thinking types are logical and systematic. D．Each pair describes a different aspect of your personality. E．The MBTI test can help you find the perfect job. F．Some companies use the MBTI test to assess the job-finders’ personalities. G．It’s important to remember that no one is completely one type or the other. 【答案】56．D 57．B 58．A 59．C 60．F 【导语】本文主要介绍了MBTI测试基于四对相反特质，有助于了解人格类型，在各领域流行，但人很复杂，简单代码不能完全描述个性。 56．根据“The test is based on four pairs of opposite traits: Extroversion (外向的) and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving.”可知，文章开篇介绍MBTI测试基于四组相反特质，空格处位于段末，应是对这四组特质作用的概括，D选项“每一对都描述了你个性的不同方面。”符合语境。故选D。 57．根据“Extroversion and Introversion look at whether you prefer being with people or spending time alone.”可知，这段介绍了外向和内向型，结合后文“They enjoy being around others and get energy from social interactions.”可知，此处是在描述外向型人的特点，空格处应与外向型有关，B选项“外向型的人性格开朗且善于社交。”符合语境。故选B。 58．根据“Sensing types like to focus on facts and details, while Intuitive types are more interested in ideas and possibilities.”可知，这段开始介绍感觉型和直觉型的特点，空格处位于段首，应是起着引领下文的作用，A选项“感觉和直觉是第二组。”符合语境。故选A。 59．根据“The Thinking and Feeling is about how you make decisions.”可知，这里开始介绍思考和感觉型与做决策相关，结合后文“They use logic and reason to make choices.”可知，此处描述了思考型做决策的方式，因此空格处应是与思考型有关，C选项“思考型是有逻辑且有条理的。”符合语境。故选C。 60．根据前文“In recent years, the MBTI test has gained popularity in various fields such as job market.”可知，MBTI测试在就业市场受欢迎，空格处应是与职场内容相关，F选项“一些公司使用MBTI测试来评估求职者的性格。”符合语境。故选F。 配对阅读。下列五个人的个人信息介绍和最适合他们的工作相匹配。 61 Lin Tao is a English teacher from Guangzhou.

She hated to hear people say, Pepsy is not beautiful. But there were times when she had to go out shopping. She was unhappy and sometimes even angry at people’s laughing at her bad looks (容貌). One night, a strange old woman came to Pepsy’s house. She said to Pepsy, “My child, let me give you a hand. Put this magic flower in your hair, and you’ll become beautiful.” Pepsy did what the old woman said. Something strange happened. She became beautiful! Pepsy was surprised to see herself so wonderful in the mirror. She ran happily out of her house. She walked on the street and smiled at everyone who looked at her. She became very friendly and nice, very different from what she was before. Almost all the people said. “Pepsy is so great today!” Finally, Pepsy returned to her home. But before she entered the house, she saw the magic flower on the ground. She left the flower there before she hurried out. She didn’t wear it when walking on the street! 71．Did Pepsy hate going out? 72．Why did almost all the people say “Pepsy is so great today!”? 73．What is the real magic in the passage? 74．Do you think one’s looks are decided by one’s emotions (情绪)?

Almost all the people said. ‘Pepsy is so great today!’”可知，她戴上了花，变得漂亮、友好和善良，与以前大不相同，所以几乎所有的人都说她很漂亮，故填Because she became beautiful, friendly and nice after wearing the magic flower. 73．根据第四段“She became very friendly and nice, very different from what she was before. Almost all the people said, ‘Pepsy is so great today.’”可知是Pepsy对别人的友好和善良赢得了人们的称赞，这正是这个故事真正的魔力所在。故填Being friendly and nice. 74．本题答案不唯一，言之有理即可。Yes. People’s emotions can affect their appearance. People tend to smile more when they are in a good mood, which can make them look more attractive. On the contrary, they may frown or look sad when they are in a bad mood, which can make them look less pleasant. Therefore, people’s looks can be decided by their emotions. Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career (职业) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence (证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases (增长) by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%.  All this comes down to one point—work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy and away from loneliness. That’s also why career women are healthier and happier than housewives. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact (联系) with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life. 回答下列4个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 75．Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people? 76．How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do? 77．How can we find friendship and warmth in our daily life? 78．Why can career women be healthier and happier than housewives? 【答案】75．Hard-working people. 76．They feel unhappy and worried. 77．By taking part in some activities. 78．Because work keeps them busy and away from loneliness. 【导语】本文主要讲述了工作能够给人们带来充实感和成就感，工作的人也比不工作的人要更健康。 75．根据“Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people.”可知努力工作的人们要比不工作的人的寿命更长。故填Hard-working people. 76．根据“Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do.”可知人们在无所事事时不仅感到不快乐，而且感到担忧。故填They feel unhappy and worried. 77．根据“If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth”可知如果人们参加一些活动，他们会找到友谊和温暖。故填By taking part in some activities. 78．根据“Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy and away from loneliness. That’s also why career women are healthier and happier than housewives.”可知职业女性比家庭妇女更健康更快乐是因为工作让人忙碌和远离孤独。故填Because work keeps them busy and away from loneliness. 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A-D四个选项中选择正确的选项，将其号填入1-4题，并完成5题。 This week we’re asking Leila Moreton, a travel journalist (记者), questions about her job.

Personality is the pattern of feelings, thoughts and behavior shown through people’s lives. It makes them different from others. Each person’s personality is made up of different personality characters such as kindness or shyness. These characters decide how people behave in different situations. For example, if someone shy is served the wrong meal in a restaurant, he probably won’t say anything. On the other hand, someone outgoing will probably complain and get the meal he ordered. Where does your personality come from? The human brain is like a computer because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot. However, humans aren’t robots! We have personalities. The human brain has a special part giving us personality and allowing us to think for ourselves, unlike a computer. This part of the brain is called the mind. Personality types Clearly scientists cannot study the mind by looking inside someone’s brain! All they would see is blood and grey matter. To study the mind, scientists have to study human behavior. This includes watching people carefully and organizing personality tests like this one: 1. Do you think you’re pretty or good-looking? 2. Would you rather read a book or go to a party? 3. Do you have a large group of friends or just one or two close friends? 4. Do you mind talking in public or does it scare you? 5. Are you messy or neat? 6. Do you plan your work well or do you do things at the last minute? Scientists believe that answers to these types of questions tell us something about a person’s personality characters. After asking thousands of people thousands of questions, they’ve found that some personality characters seem to go together. This has led scientists to believe that there’re certain personality types. For example, shy people are often quiet. They have an introverted (内向的) personality type. The opposite is an extroverted (外向的) personality type — people who are outgoing, talkative and like being around other people. 84．What is personality? 85．Why is the human brain like a computer? 86．How do scientists study human behavior? 87．How many personality types are mentioned in this passage? 88．What decides your personality?（请自拟一句话作答） 【答案】84．Personality/It is the pattern of feelings, thoughts and behavior shown through people’s lives. 85．Because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot. 86．It includes watching people carefully and organizing personality tests. 87．Two./2. 88．The mind decides one’s personality.（言之成理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人的性格。 84．根据原文“Personality is the pattern of feelings, thoughts and behavior shown through people’s lives.”可知，性格是通过人们的生活表现出来的感情、思想和行为的模式。故填Personality/It is the pattern of feelings, thoughts and behavior shown through people’s lives. 85．根据原文“The human brain is like a computer because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot”可知，人脑就像一台电脑，因为它控制着人体，就像电脑控制着机器人一样。故填Because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot. 86．根据原文“To study the mind, scientists have to study human behavior. This includes watching people carefully and organizing personality tests …”可知，科学家通过观察和组织性格测试来研究人类的行为。故填It includes watching people carefully and organizing personality tests. 87．根据原文“They have an introverted (内向的) personality type. The opposite is an extroverted (外向的) personality type — people who are outgoing, talkative and like being around other people”可知，文中提到了内向和外向两种性格。故填Two./2. 88．本小题无标准答案，学生言之成理即可。故参考答案为：The mind decides one’s personality. 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? We hear this question a lot these days. 89 fact, these are two personality (性格) types based on the MBTI test. Generally, an “I” person is shy and quiet while an “E” person is outgoing. So what is the MBTI test? It’s a personality test that helps us understand our personality even 90 (good). It 91 (develop) in the 1940s by Katharine Cook Briggs. When you take the MBTI test, you are given several 92 (question). For each question, you need 93 (choose) the answer that best matches your feelings, attitudes and behavior. Then you’ll know what your personality type is. The MBTI test is popular for many reasons. Let’s take 94 closer look at just a few. First, people want to understand 95 (them). Next, people feel 96 (relax) and enjoyable while taking the MBTI test, because its questions are interesting. Then, people try to find connections. The MBTI test 97 (offer) a way to connect with other things on a deeper level. Finally, though there are many kinds of personality tests, the MBTI test is the most 98 (high) spoken of. The MBTI test may show something we don’t know about ourselves and can be a fun way to help us make new friends. But knowing someone’s MBTI results doesn’t mean we really know that person. Nor do the MBTI results define who we are. 【答案】 89．In 90．better 91．was developed 92．questions 93．to choose 94．a 95．themselves 96．relaxed 97．offers 98．highly 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了MBTI测试的相关内容，包括它的定义、起源、使用方法、流行原因等。 89．句意：事实上，这是基于MBTI测试的两种性格类型。考查in fact“事实上”，句首单词首字母大写，故填In。 90．句意：它是一种性格测试，能帮助我们更好地了解自己的性格。根据“understand our personality”可知，此处填副词well修饰动词；“even”修饰副词比较级，所以填副词比较级better。故填better。 91．句意：它是由Katharine Cook Briggs在20世纪40年代开发的。主语“It”和谓语动词“develop”之间存在动宾关系，用被动语态；根据“in the 1940s”可知，本句时态是一般过去时，所以be动词用was，“develop”的过去分词为“developed”。故填was developed。 92．句意：当你参加MBTI测试时，你会得到几个问题。根据“several”可知，此处填名词复数形式questions。故填questions。 93．句意：对于每一个问题，你需要选择最符合你的感受、态度和行为的答案。考查need to do sth.“需要做某事”，所以填动词不定式，故填to choose。 94．句意：让我们更仔细地看看其中的几个。考查take a closer look“更仔细地看看”。故填a。 95．句意：首先，人们想了解自己。根据“people want to understand”及所给词“them”可知，这个测试可以帮助人们了解自己，应用反身代词themselves“他们自己”作宾语。故填themselves。 96．句意：其次，人们在参加MBTI测试时感到放松和愉快，因为它的问题很有趣。根据“feel”可知，此处填形容词作表语，修饰人感到放松的用relaxed。故填relaxed。 97．句意：MBTI测试提供了一种在更深层次上与其他事物联系的方式。根据上下文可知，此处为一般现在时，主语为单数，所以动词填第三人称单数形式offers。故填offers。 98．句意：最后，尽管有很多种性格测试，但MBTI测试是最受推崇的。根据“spoken of”可知，此处填副词highly修饰动词。故填highly。 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。答题卡上填写完整的单词。 Wonder why you get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s possibly because you both have different personalities. Personality is about h 99 people think, behave, and react (反应) to everything around them from day to day.

The beach was a great place to work, and the views of the ocean were beautiful, but there wasn’t much time to relax. It’s a serious job and someone has to watch the swimmers all the time. We always worked with a partner. Each lifeguard watched for an hour and then took a break. I’m proud to say that my partner and I saved seven people this summer. As well as being very strong swimmers, lifeguards should be at least sixteen years old and have qualifications (资格) in first-aid and water-rescue techniques (技术). I did a training program and learned these skills before I started work. Yasmin, 18, U.K. Summer Job: activity leader This summer, I worked at a children’s summer camp as an activity leader. It was tiring but fun. We organized sports, games, and activities for the kids. We also took the older children swimming in the river. In the evenings, we organized dances and quizzes. Most of the time the kids were great, and I worked with some lovely people and made some really good friends. It was quite well-paid, and you were so busy that you didn’t have time to spend any money. I lived for free in the camp accommodations (住宿). All our meals were free, too, so I saved a lot of money over the summer. 41．Who was the most likely Aaron’s partner during the summer holiday? A．Alex loves the beach but knows little about first-aid.

What makes them feel this way? View (199) Reply (39) Like (200) Aug4 Answers: Ai Akasaki 16, Japan Many Japanese high school students feel worried about how they look. Unlike people in western countries, people are usually shy and quiet in Japan. This makes students less confident and stop them from showing who they are. For example, sometimes they wear masks because of allergic reactions (过敏症状) in spring. However, even in other seasons, many of my classmates still keep their masks on. They feel nervous about showing their faces.                                Grace Patterson 13, Australia At my school, not many people worry about how they look. In Australia, we have people from many different cultures, so there are many different ideas about beauty and style. People won’t stop being your friend just because of how you look. In Australia, schools let students truly be themselves, and people care more about your personality than your appearance. They even dislike to follow their favourite singers. Luna Serrano 14, Mexico Many students in Mexico feel nervous about how they look. For example, I’ve seen classmates get anxious when they get pimples (青春痘) on their faces. These worries are common among teenagers as our bodies change and grow. Although these worries can be hard to get through, it helps you know yourself better and feel happier. Focus on what you’re good at. Remember, nobody is perfect, and it’s OK to look different.                                                     48．Why did Zhang post the questions on her blog? A．She wants to share her personal experience. B．She wants to make new friends from all over the world. C．She wants to ask her teachers some questions about looks. D．She wants to know how other teenagers think about looks. 49．Why do Japanese students worry about their looks? A．They easily become fat. B．They are shy and not confident. C．They usually get pimples on their faces. D．They want to look the same as super stars. 50．What do Australian students mostly agree with? A．Kindness is more important than looks. B．Schools should teach students how to look good. C．Beauty matters a lot in Australia. D．Good-looking people can be true friends. 51．Who may share similar worries about their appearance? A．Students from Mexico and Japan. B．Students from Japan and Australia. C．Students from China and Australia. D．Students from Australia and Mexico. When talking about their personalities (性格), people often say they are extrovert or introvert. Introverts, according to Harvard Health, like staying in their own world while extroverts get joy through socializing (社交). Interest in the personalities is rising, with the popularity of MBTI tests on Chinese social media. But some people are not sure about the differences between being introverts and having a social phobia (社恐). Some even make an excuse (借口) of having a social phobia to avoid any social events. Sometimes, it’s understandable, because they hope to keep a safe social distance (距离). However, there is a difference. People with the social phobia feel uncomfortable with their body and mind when socializing with others. In Xiaohongshu, a user named Kuaile Xiaoyueba shares her experiences with people who use the social phobia as an excuse. As a teacher in high school, Xiaoyueba needs to check on her students’ studies often. When she asks them questions face to face, some students choose to answer. Others, however, don’t answer and leave without a word. In Xiaoyueba’s mind, some of them are truly shy but others are just labeling (贴标签) themselves as “too cool” to reply. “It makes me sad and even doubt myself,” she wrote. These students may feel “safe” or be showing their true self. But they may also be pushing away or hurting people who really care about them. Avoiding social situations will not help them over a long period of time. Socializing should be a way to connect with others. No matter if we are introverts or extroverts, we all need to understand each other. 52．Which word can best describe extroverts? A．Shy. B．Outgoing. C．Polite. 53．What are introvert people like? A．They enjoy being alone. B．They like to label others in their own ways. C．They feel uncomfortable with body and mind when socializing. 54．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．A problem caused by handing in homework late. B．A reason why people get joy through socializing. C．An example of using the social phobia as an excuse. 55．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To ask readers to show their true self. B．To tell readers how important it is to be extrovert. C．To advise readers to be understanding when socializing. 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。 THE MBTI PERSONALITY TEST The MBTI test is a fun and useful way to learn more about yourself and others. It stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and it helps you understand your personality type. The test is based on four pairs of opposite traits: Extroversion (外向的) and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving. 56 Extroversion and Introversion look at whether you prefer being with people or spending time alone. 57 They enjoy being around others and get energy from social interactions.

Reporter: Would you introduce yourself to everybody? Student: I’m Steve, a student in Grade 9. Reporter: What’s your hobby? Student: I’m interested in reading, especially the books about medicine. Reporter: So you want to be a doctor? Student: Yes. I have had this dream since I was 8 years old. Reporter: Why would you want to be a doctor? Student: Because of the influence of my family. My parents are doctors and I feel so proud of them because their work is meaningful. Reporter: Do you have any plans to achieve your dream? Student: Of course, I have. As we all know, studying medicine is a long road. So, first, I will stick to my dream whatever difficulties I meet. In the face of them, I hope I can find ways to solve them actively rather than give up. Second, I’ll be ready to bear trouble and work hard. The profession of a doctor is not as easy as we think. It requires a huge effort behind it. So I will work hard. Third, I’ll exercise more. Being a doctor needs a lot of physical work. Without good physical condition, I can’t serve the patients well. In short, while I am firm (坚定的) in my goal, I will try my best to complete the plan. Then I can get closer to my goal step by step. Reporter: Thanks for your answering.

But there were times when she had to go out shopping. She was unhappy and sometimes even angry at people’s laughing at her bad looks (容貌). One night, a strange old woman came to Pepsy’s house. She said to Pepsy, “My child, let me give you a hand. Put this magic flower in your hair, and you’ll become beautiful.” Pepsy did what the old woman said. Something strange happened. She became beautiful! Pepsy was surprised to see herself so wonderful in the mirror. She ran happily out of her house. She walked on the street and smiled at everyone who looked at her. She became very friendly and nice, very different from what she was before. Almost all the people said. “Pepsy is so great today!” Finally, Pepsy returned to her home. But before she entered the house, she saw the magic flower on the ground. She left the flower there before she hurried out. She didn’t wear it when walking on the street! 71．Did Pepsy hate going out? 72．Why did almost all the people say “Pepsy is so great today!”? 73．What is the real magic in the passage? 74．Do you think one’s looks are decided by one’s emotions (情绪)? Explain. Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career (职业) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence (证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases (增长) by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%.  All this comes down to one point—work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy and away from loneliness. That’s also why career women are healthier and happier than housewives. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact (联系) with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life. 回答下列4个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 75．Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people? 76．How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do? 77．How can we find friendship and warmth in our daily life? 78．Why can career women be healthier and happier than housewives? 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A-D四个选项中选择正确的选项，将其号填入1-4题，并完成5题。 This week we’re asking Leila Moreton, a travel journalist (记者), questions about her job.

Personality is the pattern of feelings, thoughts and behavior shown through people’s lives. It makes them different from others. Each person’s personality is made up of different personality characters such as kindness or shyness. These characters decide how people behave in different situations. For example, if someone shy is served the wrong meal in a restaurant, he probably won’t say anything. On the other hand, someone outgoing will probably complain and get the meal he ordered. Where does your personality come from? The human brain is like a computer because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot. However, humans aren’t robots! We have personalities. The human brain has a special part giving us personality and allowing us to think for ourselves, unlike a computer. This part of the brain is called the mind. Personality types Clearly scientists cannot study the mind by looking inside someone’s brain! All they would see is blood and grey matter. To study the mind, scientists have to study human behavior. This includes watching people carefully and organizing personality tests like this one: 1. Do you think you’re pretty or good-looking? 2. Would you rather read a book or go to a party? 3. Do you have a large group of friends or just one or two close friends? 4. Do you mind talking in public or does it scare you? 5. Are you messy or neat? 6. Do you plan your work well or do you do things at the last minute? Scientists believe that answers to these types of questions tell us something about a person’s personality characters. After asking thousands of people thousands of questions, they’ve found that some personality characters seem to go together. This has led scientists to believe that there’re certain personality types. For example, shy people are often quiet. They have an introverted (内向的) personality type. The opposite is an extroverted (外向的) personality type — people who are outgoing, talkative and like being around other people. 84．What is personality? 85．Why is the human brain like a computer? 86．How do scientists study human behavior? 87．How many personality types are mentioned in this passage? 88．What decides your personality?（请自拟一句话作答） 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? We hear this question a lot these days. 89 fact, these are two personality (性格) types based on the MBTI test. Generally, an “I” person is shy and quiet while an “E” person is outgoing.

Nor do the MBTI results define who we are. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。答题卡上填写完整的单词。 Wonder why you get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time?
