17、r work again, due to health issues.But Aldridges life and career journey started to turn around after she connected with Goodwill of Central Iowas skills training programs. These programs are tailored to help people develop the kind of specific, real-world skills they need to get or keep a job, thro
18、ugh a combination of detailed instruction and hands-on experience.When Aldridge first connected with Goodwill in September 2017, she was dealing with several barriers to immediate employment. Transportation was challenging, as she didnt have a drivers license or own a car. Aldridge also had a limite
19、d work history with long employment gaps, meaning she missed out on learning important skills, such as working a credit card machine. On top of that, her physical health issues were also a problem.According to Kayleigh Duff, a career specialist at Goodwill of Central Iowa, the biggest barrier Aldrid
20、ge had to overcome was from within. “She said outwardly that she had all of this confidence and that she knew how strong a worker she was, but I dont think she truly believed it herself.”Thankfully, Aldridge had plenty of people on her side to provide motivation and guidance. She originally started
21、off in the food service training program but was eager to enter the retail (零售) skills program, since she had previously worked at the Salvation Army and Subway. When Aldridge mentioned her preference for retail, Duff recognized that her go-getting attitude would be a perfect match for the program.T
22、he seven-week retail skills training is a systematic program combining classroom instruction with on-the-job experience at a Goodwill store. As Aldridge progressed and graduated from the program, she became more confident in her abilities.Duff said it was great to see how Aldridge grew into the devo
23、ted, driven worker she is today. “She has this strong desire, this longing to succeed. And she knows that shes able to do that, although she has fallen short in the past.”24. What can be learned about Goodwills training programs?A. They were established in the autumn of 2017.B. They guarantee a good
24、 job for participants.C. They are designed mainly for the unemployed.D. They unite theory with practice.25. What was the biggest problem Aldridge faced according to Duff?A. Poor health.B.

25、ing program?A. She wanted to attend a more systematic program.B. She wanted to gain some hands-on experience.C. She was more interested in retail. D. She followed Duffs advice.27. Whats the main idea of the text?A. A 50-year-old devotes herself to Goodwill.B. Goodwill helps a 50-year-old turn her li
26、fe around.C. Goodwill training programs spring up around the world.D. Success is closely linked to appropriate training programs.CWould you give your Social Security Number to the clerk at the grocery store? Of course not, right? Yet, if youre like most people, you wouldnt hesitate to give out a dif
27、ferent, but equally important number to the same person.Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other personal information in the eyes of spammers (垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, instead of handing it out, you should guard that cellphone number with yo
28、ur life.Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal informationfrom contact lists t
29、o bank card numbers, all information that hackers (黑客) would love to get their hands on.A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten Nohl showed in an experiment what he could obtain using only a persons cellphone number. California Congressman Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and
30、 Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieus location and movements throughout Los Angeles, read his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his staff. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone nu
31、mber.Still think its a good idea to post your number on a noticeboard?Its safe to assume that Nohl is an expert when it comes to hacking, but even the ordinary thief can use your cellphone number to cause harm to you. When you sign up for an account online, you usually provide your email address and
32、 a password. But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code (检码) via your cellphone. Lets say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. Youve now given a potential thief everything he needs to hack int
33、o any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any other personal information.28. What does the underlined word “pivotal” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Accessible.B. Familiar.C. Vital.D. Manageable.29. Wh
34、at does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. Why people need to take care of their cellphone numbers.B. Why people seldom change their cellphone numbers.C. How to protect our personal information.D. How to get rid of spammers.30. What did Karsten Nohls experiment intend to prove? A. Nohl is a re
35、al expert in hacking.B. Its necessary to fight against hackers.C. Lieus new cellphone has powerful functions.D. Hacking information via cellphone numbers is not hard.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Its a good idea to sell something online.B. Its risky to post your cellphone numbers
36、online.C. Its necessary to register several accounts online.D. Its common for people to forget their passwords.DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but its not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean regions complex geology, which rises with mounta
37、in ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran.The continent is called Greater Adria. Its the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are youve been there without even knowing it. “Forget Atlantis,” said
38、Douwe, study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as
39、 Greater Adria.Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas: the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans, Greece and Turkey. The researchers found that Greater Adria started t
40、o become its own continent about 240 million years ago.This isnt the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The leftover piece,
41、which was covered in lava (岩浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific. Its two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.Greater Adria isnt the first lost contin

46、lly hard.Practice working hard. 37 Therefore, if you want to be a hard worker, you must practice working hard. Practice waking up early, practice doing a lot of work, and practice working more hours. One day you will wake up and realize that you are a hard worker. 38 Many hard workers always have a
47、large purpose that forces them to work. Dont just think of buying a car or a big house because this is not a purpose strong enough to push you forward. An example of a big purpose is deciding that you are working hard so that you bring change in the lives of your friends, family, and neighborhood. A
48、 strong purpose always involves bringing a large positive change in any particular setting.Surround yourself with hard workers. 39 But if you surround yourself with hardworking people, you will find yourself working hard towards your goal.

55、To each person, this purpose can be 52 . Maybe they were meant to teach. Maybe they were meant to learn. And goals can be 53 things, like taking an extra moment each day to breathe. But having 54 in life, a feeling of moving forward, can make people feel happy.But taking that forward motion too 55 c
