It shows its hope to bring more voices into the world. About half of the workers there have trouble in hearing, including 31-year-old Deng Wei, who works as the kitchen manager. He makes about 4,000 yuan each month and says he enjoys working in a quiet and friendly place. Shengyousheng is a self-service hotpot restaurant. Customers choose their own food and make their own sauces (调味汁), so there’s not much need to talk. This makes it easy for hearing-impaired workers to do their jobs. To help with communication, the restaurant uses big posters on the walls. These posters show simple hand signs, like how to say “thank you” by placing one hand near your chin (下巴) and moving it forward (向前). There are also signs for “food”, “hello”, and “wait for a while”. Next to each picture, there are easy-to-read words, so customers can understand what the hand signs mean. Each table also has cards that customers can use to write to the workers if needed. Shengyousheng is not only helping people with hearing problems find jobs, but also showing everyone that kindness, patience, and respect are just as important as words.

Question 1: How did you start working for National Geographic? My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on. Question 2: What does it take to become a National Geographic photographer? To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don’t have. It’s not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree. Question 3: ▲ It’s now more difficult to work for magazines. Technology (技术) makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is full of photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines that once paid for photographers and their photos. Question 4: What advice do you have for people who want to be photographers? Well, work hard. Be passionate (热诚的) about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others’ photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about life. There’s something to photograph everywhere. But be a photographer for the right reasons. If you do it for the money, you probably won’t really be happy. Do you want to make the world a better place, or make people see things in a different way? If so, you’ll enjoy the work much more. 1．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Science Reports. B．People & Stories. C．Culture Reviews. D．The World This Week. 2．Which is the most suitable for ▲ ? A．What kind of photos are more popular today? B．What is the biggest challenge for magazines today? C．What kind of photographers are more popular today? D．What is the biggest challenge for photographers today? 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Joel Sartore got that one-day job because the readers enjoyed his photos. B．Joel Sartore advises photographers to teach others by their own examples. C．Some National Geographic photographers are also masters in other fields. D．Joel Sartore thinks that happiness is the most important for photographers. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物访谈，主要介绍了Joel Sartore作为摄影师的工作经历、成为《国家地理》摄影师的要求、当前摄影师面临的挑战以及他对想要成为摄影师的人的建议。 1．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了Joel Sartore作为摄影师的个人经历、职业要求、面临的挑战以及给有志于成为摄影师的人的建议，这些内容更符合杂志中“人物与故事”这一板块的特征。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据下文“It’s now more difficult to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is full of photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines that once paid for photographers and their photos.”可知，现在为杂志工作更加困难，技术使得拍摄好照片变得容易，意味着有更多的照片和摄影师，网络上也有很多免费或低价的照片，这些照片质量足够好，可以放入曾经付费给摄影师和照片的书籍和杂志中。由此可知，本段主要讨论的是摄影师现在面临的挑战，所以空白处应填入一个与摄影师面临的挑战相关的问题。选项D“如今摄影师面临的最大挑战是什么？”符合语境。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don’t have. It’s not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.”可知，要成为《国家地理》的摄影师，仅仅成为一名优秀的摄影师是不够的，你还必须是一名科学家，或者能够在海冰下潜水，或者可能在树上待上几天。由此可知，一些《国家地理》的摄影师在其他领域也是大师。故选C。 Tea Cottage Wants You!

Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counselor（置业顾问）named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices. My first choice was a chocolate tester. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate testers make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate testers don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest. Next, I thought of becoming a football referee（裁判）. I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died. Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist（造型师）. That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo. I noticed that he tried to bite（咬）her. “It happens all the time," she told me. As you can imagine,  that really put me off. To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation（调查）so by the end of school year I had decided to become a reporter. 1．What can we know about the writer's first dream job? A．It is a job that pays well. B．It is what his father is doing. C．It is what Lisa expected him to do. D．It is a job that requires one to sit all day. 2．Why was the writer interested in becoming a football referee instead of a player? A．He wanted to run less. B．He wasn't young enough. C．He wanted to take fewer exams. D．He couldn't play football very well. 3．Philipo is probably ________. A．Shirley's dog B．the writer's dog C．Shirley's stylist D．the writer's stylist 4．Which is closest in meaning to underlined part in Paragraph 4? A．拖延时间 B．推迟 C．把…放在… D．对…失去兴趣（反感） 5．What's the passage mainly about? A．How to choose the right job. B．Different jobs the writer has tried. C．How the writer became a reporter. D．The importance of career counselors. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．C 【分析】文章主要讲述了在所有的人都希望“我”遵循父亲的脚步，做一个医生的时候，而“我”在调查了巧克力检测员、足球裁判、狗狗造型师之后，发现自己有调查的天分，最后选择做了记者。 1．推理判断题。根据文中“I discovered that chocolate testers make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job.”我发现巧克力测试员赚了很多钱，所以我确信我找到了我梦想中的工作。可以推断出，作者的第一份梦想的工作是报酬比较好，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn’t play very well.”我从小就喜欢足球，但作为一名职业足球运动员是不可能的，因为我踢得不太好。可知，这里是因为他踢得不好，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文中“However, once, while she was styling Philipo. I noticed that he tried to bite（咬）her.”然而，有一次，当她在给菲利普做造型时，我注意到他试图咬她。可知，Philipo是作者的狗，故选B。 4．词义猜测题。根据文中“It happens all the time,” she told me. As you can imagine, that really put me off.”“这种事经常发生，”她告诉我。你能想象的到，这真的让我……。可以推测出，这会让作者不再对狗狗造型师感兴趣，故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据整个文章的描述及文章第一句“I’m often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?”我经常被问到“你是怎么成为记者的？”可知，主要是讲述作者如何成为记者的过程，故选C。 Work is helpful to health.

They won’t work for only one for many years. With the Internet, more people will work at home. They will also work with people they never meet in person. Every day, they do their work on computers and then communicate with each other on computers too. And there will be many other changes we cannot think about now. All of these changes mean that there will be more competition (竞争) from people all over the world for tomorrow’s jobs. So are you ready for the future jobs? What skills will they ask for? What skills will students need for success in the future? Some skills will always be important. For example, you need to learn how to clearly communicate with others and show your ideas.

I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But I got turned down every time. In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience. “Get some work in a small station and work your way up (逐步升职),” she said. I went back to my home town. ▲ I felt really down. “Your luck will change,” my mum said to me. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner told me he had already had someone.

Do you know anything about football?” And then he called my name and told me not to leave. He put a microphone in front of me and asked me to broadcast (广播) an imaginary (想象的) game. I succeeded. On my way home, my mum’s words came back to me. “One day your luck will change, my son.

His words and beautiful images show his love of photography and of the natural world. He was National Geographic’s 2018 Explorer of the Year. Question 1: How did you start working for National Geographic? My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on. Question 2: What does it take to become a National Geographic photographer? To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don’t have. It’s not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree. Question 3: ▲ It’s now more difficult to work for magazines. Technology (技术) makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is full of photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines that once paid for photographers and their photos. Question 4: What advice do you have for people who want to be photographers? Well, work hard. Be passionate (热诚的) about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others’ photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about life. There’s something to photograph everywhere. But be a photographer for the right reasons. If you do it for the money, you probably won’t really be happy. Do you want to make the world a better place, or make people see things in a different way? If so, you’ll enjoy the work much more. 1．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?

I'm often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?” You see, everybody expected me to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor. Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counselor（置业顾问）named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices. My first choice was a chocolate tester. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate testers make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate testers don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest. Next, I thought of becoming a football referee（裁判）. I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died. Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist（造型师）. That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo. I noticed that he tried to bite（咬）her. “It happens all the time," she told me. As you can imagine,  that really put me off. To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation（调查）so by the end of school year I had decided to become a reporter. 1．What can we know about the writer's first dream job?
