10、 employee about making an impression in a job interview, especially selling your strengths and skills.To win on American Idol, “you dont have to be the best singer, just the most memorable singer,” he said. “Same for the job interview you dont have to be the best employee with the top skills, but yo
11、u do have to be the most memorable employee worth being hired.”The No.1 thing in an interview and a job search is knowing your audience. For American Idol competitors, the judges and voting public are the audience; for job hunters, its the hiring manager. Just as talented American Idol competitors l
12、ack confidence when singing the wrong song, job hunters can fail to be chosen when they fail to present their skills according to the employers needs. “Difference” is how Mr. Turner describes the way American Idol competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.In the real world, the rig
13、ht skills, education and experience still make ones ability different or memorable. But its important for the job hunter to present “something special” that he or she has to offer. A recent survey suggests that managers often sense whether theyll hire someone within minutes after the first handshake
14、. Just as an Idol competitor prepares for performances, a job hunter should prepare carefully to make the first good impression. Job hunters also can learn from past American Idol winners who proved an ability to recover from setbacks. If they can take feedback (反馈), make improvements and make sure
15、theyre better prepared the next go-round, that will pay off eventually.21. The purpose of the passage is _.A. to persuade readers to take part in American IdolB. to praise the winners of American IdolC. to advertise for American Idol D. to tell job hunters what they can learn from American Idol22. I
16、t can be inferred from the passage that _.A. if a job hunter fails to be chosen for one job, he or she will never succeedB.job hunters should distinguish themselves from other applicants when interviewingC. the skills, education and experience are the keys to your successD. an American Idol competit
17、or is never the same as a job hunter 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The reason that you are planning to change your job.B. The best singer may not win on American Idol.C. An employer may have the opinion on a job hunter within minutes.D. How an American Idol competitor
18、 can stand out among singers.BI read the same novel in paperback（纸质书） and on the iPad. One thing I love about ebooks on the iPad is the intext（文本内） dictionary lookup feature. This is something the iPad will always have as an advantage over traditional paperbacks. I sometimes come across a word I don
19、t know while reading. Its much handier to be able to look up the word on the same screen as the text than to have to grab a dictionary or my iPhone to look it up while I am reading a paperback. However, when it comes to actually reading the book, the iPads advantages as a medium for reading begin to
20、 pale. The iPad is relatively heavy inmy hands and the swiping（击打） and tapping to turn a page soon become boring. Another big issue I have with the iPad is that I always find myself trying to get away to check an email, explore the web, or look for another book on the iBook store. Living in London,
21、as most people do, I take the tube, or the subway. Forget about resting your iPad on your lap to read, because your knees get bumped too much from constant flow of people entering and leaving the train. Your only option is to “seize” your iPad in your hands. This is where a huge drawback of the iPad
22、 becomes apparent. When I read a paperback on the subway, not once will I worry about my paperback. A $7 paperback book is a pretty low target for a thief. A $500 iPad, on the other hand, is a prime theft material. The reading experience goes down dramatically when you have to keep an eye on the peo
23、ple walking past you. After finishing my reading of the novel on both mediums the iPad and the paperback I am more convinced than ever that the iPad and its iBookstore will not replace traditional print editions. Unlike MP3s that replaced CDs，the original medium for the novel is still the superior o
24、ne in both form and functions. I use iBookstore now to browse（浏览） for books and use the “Get Sample” feature to explore the first few chapters. If I like what I read, Ill purchase the print edition from Amazon or at my local bookseller.24Which of the following is the advantage of reading on the iPad
25、? A. You can refer to a dictionary by iPhone or on the Internet. B. The builtin（内置） dictionary makes looking up words convenient.C. By comparison, the iPad is heavier than a paperback book. D. An iPad is so valuable that it is easy to be stolen by thieves.25The writer prefers to read a paperback boo
26、k mainly because it offers _A. a replacement of the iPadB. a greater sense of belongingC. the “Get Sample” featureD. better experiences and functions26According to the text, the writer may find iBookstore _A.valuable B. helpfulC. limited D. traditionalCTeenagers have long been told that being active
27、 and taking part in sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.The US Department of Health and Human Services suggests that young people aged between 6 and 17 carry out at leas
28、t 60 minutes of physical activity a day, 7 hours a week. But researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for developing good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reac
29、h their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland.All participants(参与者) were asked to answer questions regarding height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed using the World Health Organiz

The overall average well-being score of all participants was 17.The researchers divided sports participation into low(0-
31、3.5 hours a week), average(3.6-10.5 hours), high(10.6-17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group
32、s. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried out around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores.Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with pos
33、itive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers.The researchers note that their study emphasizes(强调) the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being.

34、gers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can inform guideline groups who produce suggestions on sports practice for teenagers.27.How long should teens do sports a week according to researchers from Switzerland?A. 60 minutes.B. 14 hours.C. 7 ho
