29、o far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration（夸张） will do no harm when it shows the persons unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add ar
30、t to nature without any signs ofembellishmentso that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middl
31、e-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plai
32、ns, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene o
33、f fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness.To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition,
34、 which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it.As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.61. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word _ in meaning. A. decoration B.
35、 clarification C. movement D. identification62. For the middle-aged, attractiveness _ .A. hardly exists B. is the strongest C. comes from the inside D. comes from the appearance63.

37、s about beautiful nature and fairylandBResearch has shown that 85 percent of communication is nonverbal, so choosing what to wear to an interview is clearly an important part of your overall presentation. It wont make up for weak answers, but it can communicate some positive things about your person
38、ality and what you might be like to work with. Blue：You cant go wrong with darker shades of blue, especially navy. Choosing from this powerful color will project an image of someone who is in control. From the interviewers point of view, the color blue suggests calm, stability, trust, truth, confide
39、nce and security. These are all greatmessages to send without saying a word. Gray:After blue, gray is the second most popular color to wear for an interview. Like darker blue, its not a distracting color to the interviewer, which means theyll be focused more on what youre saying and how youre saying
40、 it. Gray means sophistication （老成）, so use it to your advantage. Black:This is a commanding color and represents authority. Black also suggests excitement, so use it carefully when putting together your interview outfit. You may want to use it as an accent （着重色） like in a scarf or tie, for instance
41、rather than as the primary color. Red：This is an extremely powerful color. Its so strong that you should only use it as an accent color. Reds are associated with energy, passion, desire, power and aggression. People think of intensity （紧张） and passion when they see the color red, so use it carefully
42、 or it could send the wrong message to the interviewer. White：White shirts and blouses are always appropriate. It sends the message of simplicity, cleanliness, precision and goodness.65. What is the best title of the passage？A. How to Prepare for Your Job InterviewB. A Research on ColoursC. Colorful
43、 Clothes Never Fail D. What the Colors of Your Clothes Say about You66. Why is it important to choose what to wear to an interview？A. Because it will make up for your weak answers.B.

46、 to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源）for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that,
47、 you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a m
48、asters degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing（逐渐减少的） returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors？ Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000while the full professors managed to
49、earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. Th
50、ere are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages orworst of allin philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for ou
51、r needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater（闭塞） college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate
52、the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.70. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who_.A. will not be
53、 a disgrace to society B. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nations demand as a source of manpower71. Many doctors are out of job because_.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoo

Which of the following is NOT true？A. Bernard Shaw didnt finish
55、high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a masters degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, youll be overeducated for societys demands.74. The writer sees education as_.A. a means of providing job security
56、 and financial security and a means of meeting a countrys demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden ones horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveDSeveral weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mailbox. The envelope was address
57、ed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasnt sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday
58、 tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you cant simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires
59、The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated（复杂的） black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spit
60、e（怨恨）：I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadnt realized I was supposed to. This was the first time hed used the card tactic（策略）. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection r
61、acket （收保护费组织）.Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadnt enclosed his own Christmas card fro
62、m me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. I know you dont care how merry my Christmas is, and thats fine, the gesture said. I want $30, or Ill forget to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day. I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the e
63、nvelope was gone, though the trash hadnt yet been picked up：Someone stole Mickeys tip! Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had
64、 tried to cash, had been cancelled.The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. Are you Mickey？ The man looked at him with scorn（轻蔑）. Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling. Not only had Ed insulted（侮辱）this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman,
65、but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. Anyone else？ Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Instit
66、ute, this embarrassing break of etiquette （礼节） could have been avoided. Under trash/recycling collectors in the institutes Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says：$10 to $30 each. You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.75.The newspaper deliver
67、yman put a blank card inside the envelope because_.A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaper B. he forgot to write a few words on itC. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person76.
