When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song．Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes．Me? I love to do that when I drive! 1 turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the
rhythm．Most of the time, I do this on my way to work．
Yes, that is true, I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light I get weird（古怪的））looks from some people and others laugh．Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical．I know many people do not want to look foolish．So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect．I don't care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal （节俭的）, how rich, and so on．．．No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
Life is so short．．．You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity（呆板）? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
"Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth．"
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the．world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others．However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence．
So don't lose the child that still lives within you．The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow．Or watch something that makes you laugh．Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails （使痛苦）you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your stomach hurts．Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn't want to feel good?
59．According to the text, what does the writer usually do?
A．He repeats the words of songs．B．He sings songs on his way to work．
C．He dances in his own home．D．He shares music with other drivers．学.科.网Z.X.X.K]
60．What does the writer think of the people who look very serious?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fact or reason. Examples of prejudice in schools include believing that some students are particular type of people simply because of the way they dress or act, or believing that a certain group is good at sports simply because many
peop1e in that group are goad at sports. Another example is believing that a boy is good at science because many boys are good at science.
I would l ike to cite more examples from the English literature. The best example of “prejudice” can be found in Jane Austen’s novels. Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as "novels of manners".Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are concerned，"prejudice" is inevitable ! Austen' s famous novel Pride and Prejudice is the best example in this respect. When you read the novel, the very first line that would strike you is “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”It is an example o f 18th century English middle class prejudice that eventually looked upon women just as an object that would serve as the basic sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior and well acquired financial status. This novel is chiefly about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior. The characters Elizabeth and Darcy，in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel, highlight their personal prejudices towards one another that arise from their different social strata(阶层).Darcy，a rich man , at first ,
fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth because of her low social status:"she is tolerable; but not handsome e nough to tempt me;”and Elizabeth，proud of her "first impressions"，
failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy.
1. What is "prejudice" defined in this passage?
A. Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based o n one’s own experience.
B. Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another.
C. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming aware of fact or reason.
D. Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things.
2. The underlined word "inevitable" in the second paragraph probably_means_ .
A. unavoidable
B. reasonable
C. unbelievable
D. valuable
3.From the novel Pride and Prejudice，we can’t learn that.
A. where manners and social behavior are concerned "prejudice" is inevitable
B. "prejudice" was defined and compared with“p ride” in 18th cent ury
C. it's about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior
D. personal prejudices towards one another arise from different social strata

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”．Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make．Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak．
Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls．The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture（抓拍）their reponses．Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became．Alert（警惕的）．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves．
"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger．' " Hare told．Discovery News．
Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that
develops just as all other communication systems．
Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls. ZXXK]
In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too．According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms．While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests（害兽）. Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.
67．The text mainly talks about ．
A．the study on the language of squirrels
B．the comparison between squirrels and chickadees
C．the calling for the protection of squirrels
D．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies
68．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____．
A．whistles with chucks B．pure chirps
C．whistles without chucks D．repeated chucks
69．The underlined word “tidings” in pardgmph 6 probably means ____．
A．difficulties B．poises C．messages D．languages 70．What can be learned from this text?
A．Squirrels communicate with cach other as humans do.
B．Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.
C．Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels．
D．Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language．

career-services network Experience．Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook, up from 5%．No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learn about job possibilities．Instead they're using digital tools to find their dream jobs, says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman．Companies need to know their online image, then update anything that is outdated, inaccurate or not inleractive（互动的）．

"Younger people want to attach to you in a different way than the past," Lavery says．"They want to interact with you．They want to learn about you．"
The updated recruitment techniques take effort, but they work, he says．
In 2010, UPS used those tactics to recruit 955 employees．The year before, it hired 29
employees through those means．
"It's a time investment（投资）that you have to be willing to do," he says．"You can't just have a page up there and not have content．In social media, you have to have a give and a take, or people won't be a part of your community．"
