Ever sin ce I graduated from high school I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over might. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts〔轮班〕in a factory, the other optionshave become only too clear. " This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body, " said one co-worker. " Study hard and keep reading. " she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping
classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale〔陈腐的〕now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

A. It was no holiday for him at all.
B. It brought him nothing but suffering.
C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.
D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.
13. What can we infer about most college students？
A. They do better in the real world.
B. They are confident when they work.
C. They think too highly of themselves.
D. They are expert at handling machines.
14. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?
A. Alow income
B. The lack of security
C. An unstable location
D. Less break
15. How did the working experiences change the author？

B. He learned to be more practical at work.
C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.
D. He came to appreciate his college education.

The artificial control of the weather, known as weather modification, seems like something out of a science fiction novel, but now it seems to have become a reality. Weather Modification International, a North Dakota-based company, is using planes to target clouds and draw out more rain from them.
The concept behind the practice, which is called cloud seeding, has been around for decades. But there is new urgency due to climate change and a rapidly growing global population, which have disrupted〔中断〕global water supplies.
Weather Modification describes cloud seeding as “an improvement〞of the natural raining process. The technology makes storms more efficient by getting additional moisture〔水汽〕 out of clouds.
“If there are no clouds in the sky that have any moisture in them, then we can’t do anything.〞said Brian Kindrat, an aircraft captain at Weather Modification. “What we can do is t ap into what is there and assist mother nature.〞
To do this, pilots target clouds with lots of moisture and put small amounts of a silver iodide〔碘化银〕 mixture. The water in the clouds condenses 〔凝结〕and becomes heavy. Then, it falls to the ground as rain.
The company sees cloud seeding as part of a solution for droughts〔干旱〕. “We aren’t going to solve large climate shifts in areas, but if you went back and you looked in California and said if we had an additional 10%, 15%, 20% of snowpack and rain over the last 10 year...it would be significantly different.〞 said Neil Brackin, president of Weather Modification. “With such a program as cloud seeding, additional water for cities and agriculture is available. In fact everybody can benefit from it.〞 Brackin added.
But there are concerns about cloud seeding’s long-term impacts. For example, it’s unclear how making it rain in one state affects a neighboring state. It’s also up for debate who “owns〞the water―such as which state or countr y―that comes out of the clouds. There are also environmental questions, such as ones related to the long-term impacts of silver iodide.
Although some critics may have concerns about companies impacting the weather, the company denies that it’s “playing God〞. “We’re no t really playing God. I think that’s really overstating what we’re doing.〞Brackin said. “We’re being very specific and environmentally friendly in what we’re doing to enhance the natural raining. 〞
16. What can we learn about cloud seeding from paragraph 2 and 3？
A. It has not been put into practice yet.
B. It will enable people to control the weather at will.
C. It is a new concept put forward recently.
D. It can help deal with drought.
17. What did Brian Kindrat want to say about Weather Modification？
A. It can create rain magically.
B. It can only depend on nature.
C. It has the ability to change nature.
D. It can produce rain from any cloud.
18. What can be inferred from Brackin’s words in the last paragraph？
A. He is full of confidence in the future of cloud seeding.
B. He thinks the existing cloud seeding needs to be improved.
C. He disagrees with the criticism aimed at the impact of cloud seeding.
D. He believes cloud seeding can do much more than increasing rainfall.
19. What’s the author’s attitude to the practice of cloud seeing？
A. Objective
B. Critical
C. Approving
D. Doubtful
D
Nowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.
If you’re the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious
decision, rather than focus on the n egative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I’m painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I’d have any husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?〞 rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.
If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK〞 response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you’re doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a potentially explosive situationwhich might cause serious consequences. It’s important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?
In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning(指责) and you will not be condemned.〞 One can learn to be “OK〞with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be “OK〞.
20. According to the author, what would today’s people like to do?
A. They ignore the mistakes of others.
B. They focus on how to handle mistakes.
C. They like to point out the mistakes of others.
D. They have a moral duty to help others with failure.
21. What is the proper response to criticism in the author’s opinion?
A. Paying no attention to it
B. Learning something from it.
C. Making excuses for your mistakes.
D. Defending and attacking.
22. Which of th e following best explains “diffuses〞 underlined in Paragraph 3?
A. spreads
B.challenges
C. reduces
D. explains
23. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Is criticism really necessaryin our relationships?
B. What can you learn from criticism?
C. What’s the best way to voice criticism?
D. How to treat criticism as a giver and a receiver?

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock
24 Here’s how to make one.
● 25 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important.
Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise,
or just be better prepared for your day？Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
●Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider
re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.
26 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 27
●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 28 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.

It was my first day to Miss Hargrove’s eleventh grade. Past “newcomer〞experiences had been difficult, so I was very 29 to fit in. After being introduced to the class, I bravely put on a smile and took my seat.
Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table. They were friendly, so I began to 30 . My new classmates told me about the school, the teachers and the other kids. They 31 out the class nerd (书呆子) to me: Mary Lou. She was a pretty girl with dark eyes and olive-skin, 32 she wore a long woolen skirt and an old-fashioned blouse. She looked stupid. The girls whispered and giggled 33 Mary Lou walked by. She ate alone.
After school, the girls invited me to 34 them in front of the school gate.
I was thrilled to be a(n) 35 of the club. We waited. For what, I didn’t know. Then Mary Lou came down the school steps. The girls started making fun of her, shouting rude, biting comments. I 36 , then joined right in. Mean remarks fell from my 37 . No one could tell I’d never done this before. The other girls stepped
back, surprised, but then they started 38 for me. Feeling 39 , I pulled on her backpack and then pushed her. Her backpack broke, Mary Lou fell and I backed off. Everyone was laughing. I 40 in. I was a leader.
But I was not proud. Something inside me 41 . If you’ve ever pic ked a wing off a butterfly, you know how I felt.
Mary Lou got up, 42 her books and walked away without a tear or saying anything. She held her head 43 as blood ran down from her knee. I 44 her limp (跛) away down the street.
I turned to leave with my 45 friends and noticed a man standing beside his car. He must have been Mary Lou’s father―he had the same olive skin, dark hair and handsome look. He remained still and watched the 46 girl walk toward him. Only his eyes―shining with both sadness a nd pride—followed. As I passed, he looked at me in silence with burning tears that reminded me of my 47 .
Mary Lou’s father’s eyes taught me a good lesson that day. I never again hurt someone for my own 48 .

Are you worried about getting stuck in the traffic jam during rush hours? Still concerned about the cost of gas and the car maintenance fee? Public transportation is a good alternative for you! There are many benefits of public transportation.
One of the main benefits of public transportation is the fact that it makes it easier for people to get around. Without public transportation, many people ﹣especially those without cars ﹣ would be limited in where they could go and what they could do. With public transportation, however, people can get to school and
work, get to the grocery store and to doctors' offices, and visit relatives, even if they do not own vehicles. Public transportation serves people of all ages and from all walks of life, ranging from families, including their children, to business people on their way to the office, to the elderly．
Often, people complain about the cost of public transportation when the rates are raised. When compared to the cost of buying a car, many people find that choosing to ride public transportation is a much cheaper option．
When public transportation is available, many people choose to use it instead of driving to work and school. This is true even of many people who own cars, as they may prefer to ride to work on a bus or train rather than deal with traffic jams and parking frustrations each day. When people make this choice, the result is less traffic on the roadways, which means fewer traffic jams and less pollution. In fact, the choice many people make to ride public transportation may even translate into fewer car accidents and vehicle﹣related deaths and injuries. Additionally, the use of public transportation also means less gas is consumed each year．
