36、for a womens clothes manufacturer at the age of 15. It made me realize what I didnt want to do for my future employment.The only advantage of this job was receiving a wage at the end of the week and sometimes getting clothes for free if they were to my taste. I carried on doing this for only a year,
37、 as my studies at school were getting more serious and I wanted to study more to get the right grades. After I had finished college, my first real job was working for a play publisher in central London. I remember writing a letter of application for the post of administration for Samuel French Limit
38、ed. I had put so much effort into writing it, not realizing that this would be my first step in the process of finding out what I really wanted to do for my future employment. I didnt think I would get the job, but as it turned out, I got a telephone call quickly and started a week later. I remember
39、 being excited that I would be working for a publisher in London. Although I had thought I would prefer to work for a book publisher, a play publisher was just as enjoyable. Looking back now, not all first jobs turn out to be enjoyable. Some of my friends worked in supermarkets while they were at co
40、llege just to earn a bit of money. I remember thinking how much happier I felt working in a clothes factory than in a supermarket. Years later, I can see how good it is to experience work at an early age, as it gives people the opportunity to decide what kind of career will be most suitable for them
41、 one day. The boring task of a job will make a person want to pursue an education to get into the right type of employment, which was what I had realized in the end.60.

45、o Get the Right GradesC We found out that Jenny was hearing-impaired（有听觉缺陷的）when she was four and a half years old. Several operations and speech classes later, when she was seven, we found out that Jenny had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis（风湿性关节炎）. She could not put pressure on the heels of her feet,
46、 so she walked on tiptoe. All through grade school, and on into high school, Jenny suffered, yet never complained. She took her medicine, and I would often wrap her feet in towels and hold her until the pain eased. But, as soon as she could bear the pain, Jenny immediately carried on, as though she
47、were free of pain. She was very popular and funny, attending every football game and cheering the team on, carrying her pillow everywhere she went, so that she could reduce the pain. Then came her senior year. She would be considered for scholarships; however, school activities, especially sports, c
48、ould often mean the difference between receiving an award or losing out. So Jenny came to a decision, and in her strange manner, she began to bombard the high school football coach with requests. She promised. She got her best friend to sign up with her. Finally, the coach gave in, with the warning,
49、 “If you miss ONE game, you are out!” She carried big buckets of water to her teammates. She bandaged knees and ankles before every game. Often, Jenny could be seen carrying a bucket of water in each hand, nearly dragging them, along with her pillow pressed under her arms. When asked why he thought
50、that the team was winning all their games, even in the face of injury, one member of Jennys team explained, “Well, when youve been knocked down and you cant seem to move, you look up and see Jenny Lewis, limping（跛行）across the field, dragging her buckets and carrying her pillow. It makes anything tha
51、t the rest of us may suffer seem pretty insignificant.”64. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that _. A. Jenny wrapped her feet in towels by herself B. Jenny was free of pain after taking medicine C.

54、ation may lose the opportunity to swim over coral reefs or eat certain species of fish, scientists have warned, as the worlds oceans move into a stage of widespread extinction（绝种）due to human impacts such as overfishing and climate change. A report from a group of marine experts showed the condition
55、 of the worlds oceans was worsening more quickly than they had predicted. The scientists, who gathered at Oxford University, warned entire ecosystems, such as coral reefs, could be lost in a generation. Already the number of fish is dropping, leading to a risk of rising food prices and even starvati
56、on in some parts of the world. The experts blamed the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for pushing up ocean temperatures, the increased algae（海藻）concentration in the water, which made the water have less oxygen, and the increasing acidity of the water. The conditions are similar
57、to every previous mass extinction event in history. Dr. Alex Rogers, scientific director of the International Program on the State of the Ocean, said the next generation would suffer if species are allowed to go extinct. “As we considered the increasing effect of what humankind had done to the ocean
58、, the situations were far worse than we had individually realized,” he said. “This is a very serious situation demanding quick and effective action at every level. We are looking at consequences for humankind that will have an impact on our lifetimes, our childrens lifetimes, and those of generation
59、s beyond that.” The marine scientists called for a range of urgent measures to cut carbon release, including a reduction in overfishing, the shut-down of eco-unfriendly fisheries, the creation of protected areas in the seas and cuts to pollution. 68. What could be the best title for the text? A. The
60、 Worlds Oceans Will Be Empty of Life B. Carbon Dioxide Increases Ocean Temperatures C. Opportunities for the Next Generations D. Urgent Measures to Cut Carbon Release 69.

A reduction in fishing. B. Increase of the water acidity. C. Creation of protected areas. D. End of eco-friendly fisheries
63、.ENearly one in five young people in the UK have been suffering from cyber-bullying（网络伤害）. Research suggests that girls are affected more than boys. Many victims said their experiences had damaged their confidence, mental health and even school attendance. The study, by academics at Anglia Ruskin Un
64、iversity, questioned almost 500 young people aged between 11 and 19. Almost a fifth admitted they had been subjected to cyber-bullying, in which a person uses the Internet or mobile phones to bully another. The 87 young people who had experienced it as victims were asked what impact this had had on
65、them. A third said it had affected their confidence quite a lot or very much, while half said it had affected their mental and emotional happiness. Over a quarter of those who had been cyber-bullied stayed away from school, while more than a third had stopped communicating with others outside of sch
66、ool hours. Of those 188 young people who answered questions whether they would seek help with cyber-bullying, only less than half said they would look for support. Those who said they would not seek help feared to make it worse. Those looking for support were most likely to seek help from parents an
67、d friends. Steven Walker, who led the research, said, “While most online interactions are neutral（中立的）or positive, the Internet provides a new means through which young people are bullied.” He added, “Many of the people in our study think that cyber-bullying by bullies seen as merely a form of harml
68、ess fun, a joke and therefore not an issue. Others think cyber-bullies are motivated through lack of confidence and desire for control, and perhaps because they are too weak to bully face-to-face. As the use of social media among young people continues to grow, unless properly controlled by host sit
69、es and government agencies, the problem of cyber-bullying is only likely to get worse. Just last week Facebooks marketing director, Randi Zuckerberg, called for an end to online anonymity（匿名）, saying Internet users would behave a lot better if everyone had to use real names when surfing or posting o
70、n the Internet.72. From Paragraph 2, a victim of cyber-bullying would probably _. A. get little influencedB. be afraid of being lonelyC. feel more energetic D. stay away from school 73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. About a fifth of the victims of cyber-bullying are girls.
71、 B. Internet or mobile phones can be used to bully others. C. More than half of the 118 victims would turn to others for help.D. Half of the 500 people questioned admitted they werent victims. 74. According to Steven Walker, many young people think cyber-bullying is _. A. a harmless jokeB. a sign of
72、 confidenceC. a serious problemD. a positive interacion75. We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A. host sites with cyber-bullying should be closed down B. anonymity is a good way to protect online users C. proper solutions have been found to cyber-bullying D. measures need to be taken to con

Its also responsible for teaching them how to survive in a fast-paced and stressful world. However, childr
74、en can be hit by competition. How many of us have seen young boys weeping because their teams didnt win inter-school tournament? How many of us have seen young teenagers cheat just to win? These are the effects of unhealthy competition. So its important to develop healthy competition among children.
75、When it comes to encouraging healthy competition among children, the first thing to do is set goals for them to stick to. However, you mustnt push them too hard and burden them with a goal that is too high for them to achieve.Since children may be easily affected by wrong ideas from popular media an
76、d the Internet, its up to you to develop the right kind of spirit in them. Team spirit will help them grow into human beings who arent easily annoyed by small losses or too excited by victories. In addition, they may also not want to adopt just any method to win, like cheating or lying. So give them
77、 examples where family members refused to cheat to win.Sending your children the right signals is also important. When they take an exam, dont ask about how much they expect to score; instead, ask what they wrote about. If your son played a cricket match at school, dont ask him whether his team won
78、or lost; ask him how many runs he scored and encourage him to score higher next time instead. When you let your children know that youre more interested in how they performed rather than whether they lost or won, they will surely try to better themselves.TitleEncouraging 76 Competition Among Childre
