Sally: an animal doctor
What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?

Have you ever done any other jobs?
Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain.
What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?
In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping and look after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.
Leo: an actor
What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?

Have you ever done any other jobs?
Oh yes, it’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the yea rs. For example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream on the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street.
What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?
The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible--you stand for hours at the end of a belt(传送带), putting eggs into boxes.

Women turn to online shopping
Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US.
For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，director
of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.
25．Which of the following statements is true?
A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．
B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
C．More women shopped online than men in 2004.
D．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
26．From the passage we can infer that________.
A．men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B．women usually decide what to buy in the family
C．the Internet is used in all the shops.
D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.
27．What can we know from the passage?
A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.
B．Shopping online is fun for women.
C．Shopping off-line provides better service.
D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.
C
Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.
So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?
The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There wi ll also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.
28. The first paragraph serves as a(n)______.
A. argument
B. comment
C. explanation
D. background
29. From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can______.
A. provide heat for drivers in winter.
B. guide drivers who get lost on the highway.
C. melt snow and ice soon in winter.
D. help drivers see the road clearly in the sun.
30. What is the text mainly about?
A. Functions of the road in the future.
B. Development of solar energy.
C. Free energy on the road.
D. Solar road of the future.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
31 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动机) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take
a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.
32
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them.
A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often leads to laziness. 33 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 34 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
35 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

As result, children will gradually lose interest for their studies.

Dear Miss Zhang , I’m Li Hua, remember me? How is everything going on with your life? It’s almost half a year since I last saw you. I miss you very much. I am encountering some difficulties. Which troubles me a lo t. That’s why I write this letter to you.
As you know there are more subjects (up to 9) now than in junior middle school,
and I find it difficult for me to divide my time among them well. What’s worse, I have to spend 3 to 4 hours doing the endless homework, as a result of which little time is left for after school activities. Then comes my biggest problem. That is, I often feel sleepy in class because the time for sleeping is so limited. Facing so many difficulties I have to turn to you for help. It could n’t be better if you can give me some advice.
Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes
Yours，
Li Hua。
