M ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor in the history of his sport. At the 2004 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelps match Mark Spitz’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2008, he will earn a ＄1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids.
Michael’s coach told Michaelc’s mother that her son was a rare
telent.Long-limbed with big hands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous is competition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’s shown the abi lity to dominate in any event.
In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at th Junior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics for the U.S.in 68 years.

Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳)—doing so on the same day, which was a first in swimming history.
Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’t like getting out of the bed in the morning。

sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.

Passage Two
Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruimentmethods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers . The appeal
of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.
Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.
But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief
Executive at OptimusRecruiment. “The most difficult liars t o find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research shows that up to
75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common
practice is omission.
Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or
become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper
lip, false smiles and n ervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”
Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely
essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than
completely honest.
21. The best title of this passage can be ___________.
A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate
B. How to Find a Job by Tricks
C. Disadvantages of Job Interviews
D. Advantages of Job Interviews
22. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.
A. complete truths
B. complete lies
C. partial truths
D. mainly truths
23. How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?
A. By leaving out some necessary information
B. By providing more information than needed.
C. By using their body language.
D. By telling some unbelievable lies.
24. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad
suggests that we _____.
A. examine the resumes carefully
B. inspect the candidates aggressively
C. correct the resumes intentionally
D. compare one’s resume with others’
25. What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews?
A. Most objective
B. Too subjective.
C. Suspicious
D. Credulous.
Passage Three
Our world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkable
ability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral ec ologist Bruce
Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky
because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.
Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near WilliamsLake in
central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the
strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest.
“Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean
the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were
alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other
cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at
the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.
Even if a mother coot didn’t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she
continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the
apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologist
concluded.
26. The meaning of the bird’s name “coot”probably is __________.
A. wonderful and amazing
B. unusual and remarkable
C. secret and unbelievable
D. old and silly
27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _________.
A. the eggs of the nest owners
B. the eggs of the invaders
C.the eggs from foreign countries
D. the eggs unable to be hatched
28. Which of the following is the particular way coots often
compete?
A. To steal some eggs from other nests.
B. To put their own eggs into others’ nests.
C. To hatch oth er coots’ eggs.
D. To protect their own eggs.
29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the
passage?
Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.
Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.
Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.
A. Ⅰ.only
B. Ⅱ.only
C. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.
D. Ⅰ.,Ⅱ.and Ⅲ.
30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that
the coot has?
A. To trick other coots.
B. To fight back the tricks.
C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.
D. To recognize and count its own
eggs.
Passage Four
National Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbiting

Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacing his was going to be extr emely busy. “The station is for

productive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facility,” he said.

My ideal job
Different people have different ideas about what is an ideal job. Some want to be doctors, some want to be teachers, some want to be engineers.
In my opinion, teaching is an ideal job. Teachers were low in social status in the old days, but recently their social position has been improved greatly, and it is now a fact that teachers are held in great respect by people everywhere. In addition, I think I am by nature suited to be a teacher because I like children very much and I am patient. I can treat students as my equals.
I’m now preparing for my future career as a teacher. I know it won’t be easy to become a good teacher. So I’m studying really hard not only in class, but also in everyday life. I am training my patience, improving my handwriting, and I am reading extensively to widen my scope of knowledge.。
