An old bike 37 with a sleeping bag and the rest of his 38 rested against the bench, it was obvious that he was 39 . But regardless of his 40 , he greeted us as if we were hi

The teen version will surely create positive change in their lives as well.Adolescence is filled with change and uncertainty and this book focuses on the skills needed to adapt and develop increased resilience.Help Yourself

33、chieving academic success against a background of military conflict.D. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is written by Sean Covey with the help from his father.BWhen Its Time to Give Up Im sure you have been told that in order to become successful, you must persevere (坚持), fight, stand up when
34、ever you fall, and march forward until the end. I say those things to people all the time, so why am I telling you now that sometimes it is actually better to quit? The reason is that in certain cases, you could only go forward if you go back.Sometimes you will be putting a lot of time and effort in
35、 achieving a goal to find out one day that your strategy is totally wrong. You could be achieving the same results in half the time had you been focusing on doing the more important things.Lets say your goal was to lose weight. You then set a goal to do 1000 sit-ups a day. After about 1 month of doi
36、ng this, you realize that you have been disciplined enough to hit your goal of 1000 sit-ups a day, however, you arent getting any closer to your main goal of losing weight. This is called focusing on a secondary goal, which sometimes is the wrong strategy.We sometimes get so focused on a secondary g
37、oal that we lose focus on the primary goal. I see this with sales people all the time. Their main goal is to make money but they often find their focus on hitting some new position within the sales department and when that doesnt happen, they feel like a big failure. The goal never was to hit some p
38、osition; the goal was to make money whether with this company or another company.Would it make sense, in this case, for a sales person to quit the job if his goal of making a certain amount of money just wasnt happening? His managers would probably call him a quitter, but his goal is to make money.
39、If he can obtain that goal through a different source, then quitting would actually be the smart thing to do.So when is it time to give up? When what you are doing no longer makes sense in respects to achieving your main goal. Sometimes it will make more sense to give up what you are doing and start
40、 on a different path towards the same goal.Some people will spend their entire lives on a path to a certain goal only to find out in the end that the path they took was the wrong one. There is no shame in giving up on a path you are taking to your goal as long as you always aim to reach your goal. T
41、heres no point in staying on a path that will lead you to nowhere.58. Why does the author advocate giving up?A. Because giving up halfway will save half the time.B. Because perseverance does not work in most cases.C. Because sometimes people adopt wrong strategies.D. Because no one can achieve succe
42、ss without hard work.59. Which of the following is a secondary goal in the case of sales people?A. To gain recognition from their boss.B. To make money in the present company.C. To work for other better companies.D. To get promoted in the sales department.60. What is the authors attitude towards giv
43、ing up?A. One should devote his whole life to one goal rather than give up.B. One should not regret giving up if he finds he is on a wrong path.C. One always needs to stick to the same strategy to achieve his goal.D. One should focus on primary and secondary goals before he quits.COne of the newest
44、words on the coffee stage is “shade grown coffee”. Shade grown coffee isnt new. In fact, until only a few years ago, shade grown coffee represented the major coffee beans sold on the world coffee market. The coffee plant is a natural shade lover, growing best in the shade afforded by an overgrowing
45、canopy (树冠) of rain forest plants. That canopy protects the coffee plant from sunlight that reduces its production and kills it.Shade grown coffee is, however, more expensive to grow, at least in the short run. Growing coffee in the shade means that coffee growers also have to spend time working on
46、the protectors. It means that less land is left to produce coffee beans. The arrival of technically engineered coffee plants that grow well in the sun represented a major development in coffee industry. Because there was no need to grow shade trees to protect the coffee trees, farmers could use more
47、 and more land to grow coffee trees, increasing their productivity and leading to more money for the coffee plantations (种植园) and farmers.However, it was not a good idea to move away from shade grown coffee. The sheltering canopy provided more than just shade for the coffee trees. Those plants provi
48、ded shelter for birds and other animals who feed on pests.They help to fix nitrogen in the soil, and nitrogen is a natural fertilizer which makes plants grow more successfully. The increase in land used to grow sun loving coffee trees also had an unexpected effect on the law of supply and demand. Th
49、e increased production resulted in a huge amount of coffee beans coming to the market, which brought down prices.Moreover, most experts agree that shade grown coffee is better in taste than coffee grown in full sun. Plants grown in shade take longer to develop. The slower growing time helps to impro
50、ve the coffees taste. You can buy a can of shade grown coffee to replace your usual sun coffee. One cup of coffee a day-its a small price to pay for a better world.61. What do we know about shade grown coffee?A. It has been introduced to the market recently.B. It was the main coffee beans sold on th
51、e market.C. It is protected by the canopy from pests and animals.D. It grows well where there is adequate natural sunlight.62. Why did farmers move away from shade grown coffee?A. It had a bitter taste.B. It left no land for shade trees.C. It offered less profits.D. Its no longer well received.63. W
52、hat is an advantage of sheltering plants?A. They keep a balanced environment.B. They bring more money to farmers.C. They help clear the nitrogen in the soil.D. They make coffee plants grow quickly.64. What does the author suggest?A. Spending less on coffee.B. Listening to experts ideas.C. Buying sha
53、de grown coffee.D. Planting sun loving coffee.DLike many sensitive souls, I never truly felt like a child. I was the oldest child of three and one of my nicknames as a child was “Little Mother” because I got great joy from taking care of my younger siblings (兄弟姊妹). I truly believe that the adults ar
54、ound me thought that I was a child that didnt seem to need physical affection. There was generally a lot of verbal affection but very little hugging pulling me onto their lap, rubbing my back when I couldnt sleep and other forms of physical comfort. I used to have a strong desire for that touch so v
55、ery much but did not have the confidence to say so. Even though I had truly wonderful parents, family and friends, I remember a distinct hunger for human touch from a very early age.When my first child was born, I remember never wanting to put him down. Grandparents, friends and even strangers at th
56、e grocery store would warn me about “spoiling him by holding him too much,” I would smile and nod but ignore this advice, as well-intentioned as it was. I held each of my three children as often as I could, enjoying the quickly-passing experiences of breastfeeding them, snuggling (依偎) their little h
57、eads into the crook of my neck and rocking them gently to sleep. There was joy in work of motherhood, the like of which I had never experienced before. There was joy even in the bleary-eyed (睡眼惺松的）nights, in the crying fits of late evening, in the ever-present bouts of illness that rocked this house
58、 as it spread person to person. The joy was in the togetherness, the love, the snuggles amidst the struggles of life that did not always have joy outside of these precious moments.When I was in nursing school, an instructor once told me about the importance of non-contingent touch-touch that isnt se
59、condary to something like an assessment or treatment. She reminded us that not everyone has love in their lives and that love is essential for healing and growth. The easiest way to show love is often with a simple hand on the shoulder, holding hands with a frightened client, sitting next to them on
60、 their bed while chatting with them so they can see that you are not hurried and are present in the moment.I believe that non-contingent touch is just as important, or maybe even more important, in parenting. We touch our children when helping them bathe, dress and many other ways during our busy da
61、ys. However, we mustnt forget the importance of hugs, snuggles, pats on the backs, the rubbing of hair throughout the day. Touch is one of the most important languages of love.One of the most important surprises of parenthood for me was that the physical time spent with my children satiated not only
62、 their need for love but also my own hunger for human touch. In loving them, I was loved. In holding them, I was held. In raising them, I rose up.We have become a disconnected society. We often connect more with others via social media、e-mail and text than face-to-face. Our younger generation seems
63、lost in the technological void and they often struggle with even the simplest of in-person communication. We must teach our children the powers of touch, kindness of words and connection with ourselves that cannot happen if we have a blue screen perpetually in front of our face.We are powerful being
64、s, we humans. As parents we can provide power for our children with our words and with our touch. May we teach our children the significance of small kind gestures, simple human touch and connecting with humanity on a personal level. May we reach out to another person as often as we reach out for th
65、e smartphone in our pockets.65. From the first paragraph we can know that the author .A. hated being nicknamed “Little Mother”B. was desperate for touch in her childhoodC. enjoyed verbal affection from her parentsD. had little affection for her parents for lack of touch66. What did the author do in
66、the work of motherhood?A. She avoided holding his son too much not to spoil him.B. She always gave them various forms of physical comfort.C. She had to cheer herself up in the struggles of life.D. She had a painful experience raising her children.67. The most important lesson the author got in nursi

The number of college graduates in China has been rising since 2001, whic
71、h leads to a more competitive employment market.However, besides fierce competition, many graduates admit that they face another big problem-employment discrimination. A research in 2017 shows that around 75.7 percent of new graduates said they were, to some extent, discriminated or suffered from in
72、justice when finding jobs.Female college graduates still face great wall of discrimination in the employment market. “Males only”, “Married with children preferred”: These are some of the conditions commonly found in recruitment (招募) advertisements. According to a research by Renmin University of Ch
73、ina in 2015, male college graduates do have more interview opportunities than female college graduates despite the similar academic background and work experience.Regional discrimination also becomes a barrier for job seekers. Some companies dismiss job seekers from specific regions due to the regio
74、nal stereotypes (成见), like “Central Chinas Henan Province is the cradle of liars” and “people from Northeast region are usually rude.”Recruitment advertisements sometimes also show favor for local applicants. Non-locals had been denied jobs because their registered residence origin was not the same
75、as the city where they were hunting for a job.Apart from “invisible thresholds (门槛)” like gender and region, college graduates in recent years were disappointed to find that personal details like superstitions (迷信) about blood type, zodiac, and facial structure were all part of the decision-making p

A family name that suggests prosperity, like Jin, which means “gold”; while a last name like Pei, which can mean “to lose money”, would likely be negative. Besides, job seekers also found that some e
77、mployers paid much attention to their appearance rather than the working performance.To fight against employment discrimination, both the government and society have made great efforts. In 2007, Employment Promotion Law was passed with the purpose of apposing employment discrimination and promoting
78、justice in job recruitment. The Ministry of Education in 2017 issued regulations to ban work discrimination in on-campus job fairs. This year, several cities, bureau of human resources required job fair organizers to set special reception desks so as to deal with job seekers, complaints about discri

108、 wonderland. And Depp acted as the wonderfully strange Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, one of his most popular roles. He has received praise for many of these roles, although he has never won an Academy Award for Best Actor. Yet, Depp has been very successful in Hollywood, as he is one of the highest paid actors. In fact, he has so much money that he even bought his own island! Once you see Johnny Depps movies, his amazing characters will not be easily forgotten.
