Of course not! It is not only used to express pleasure, affection, and friendliness, but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: "Never hit a person who is smiling at you." It is a time-proven fact that smile is a language all its own — a universal language —understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. On the outside stood a young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, brilliant smile covered his face. The magic power of that smile made all bitterness within me melt, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. "Beautiful day, isn't it?" I remarked, in passing. Then, obeying an impulse (冲动), I turned back. "I really owe you a debt of gratitude," I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed meinquiringly. "Carlos, he no speak English," she volunteered. "You want I should tell him something?" At that moment I felt changed. Carlos' smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. "Yes," my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, "Tell him I said, 'Thank you!'" "Thank you?" The woman seemed slightly confused.I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. "Just tell him that." I insisted. "He'll understand. I am sure!"Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.24. Why did the writer march angrily out of the store?A. He bought nothing.B. He was unlucky to meet with an unfriendly clerk.C. He was unfriendly.D. He conflicted with the clerk in the store.25. What do you think of the woman?A. Curious and sincereB. Helpful and curiousC.

An Impressive Young Man.CWhat's the point of studying? It's something you might ask yourself if you're studying for a degree or struggling to complete the homework, especially if your friends seem to be out having a good time, or are working and earning lots of money.Many of us choose to go to university as a first step towards a good career but sometimes that career is hard to achieve and graduates end up doing something they are overqualified for. With the increasing costs of university, students begin to ask themselves whether a degree path is the best route into a career. There is a need for muchbetter career advice and guidance on employment in addition to university education.But other new research says that a degree will, in the long run, earn you more. However, there are differences in your earning potential. Dr Jack Britton says that" Graduates of the 24 Russell Group universities earn an average of ￡33,500 after five years-about 40% more than those who studied at other universities."However, it has found it's not just the location but other factors that can play a part in what you can earn, such as the subject a student chooses to study. It discovered that five years after graduation, the income gap between students who studied the subjects that attract the highest and lowest salaries can be considerable. Graduates in subjects such as law, medicine, and dentistry as well, tend to do well. And as they progress, the pay gap between these careers and others, such as the creative arts widens. There are other factors too that influence what you might earn: Five years after graduation, men earn on average14% more than women. Also, a student's social background can have an effect, with those from better-off households much more likely to go to university and particularly a good one.But if you still feel university doesn't deliver the best opportunities then there are encouraging words from Alistair Jarvis, head of Universities UK, who told BBC News that “Employers are demanding more graduates and graduates are half as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates. There are many good graduate outcomes coming from universities. ” So maybe all that studying is worth it--after all “no pain, no gain”!28. Why do students start to question whether to go to university or not?A. Because of the heavy studying burden.B. Because they can't get a degree after graduation.C. Because they don’t need a degree for their career.D. Because of the increasing costs of university.29. Which major may most probably lead to a lower-earning career?A. MedicineB. LawC. Creative artsD. Dentistry30. Which of the following is most likely to be fired according to Alistair Jarvis?A. GraduatesB. Non-graduatesC. DoctorsD. Employers31. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Russell Group universities are top ones.B. Most students go to university to get a good career.C. One's location has no effect on his income.D. Graduates often have more academic qualifications than required for the job.DVideos and video calls are becoming increasingly popular on social media in China, particularly on WeChat, the country’s most-used messaging app. We Chat’s 1.08 billion monthly active users last year made 410 million daily video and audio calls. That was 5.7 times more than in 2015, when WeChat first disclosed its operational data.Uploading videos on WeChat Moments, a function that allows users to share their latest whereabouts, has become more widely used, with the number of videos posted multiplying 4.8 times in the past 4 years.As a one-stop solution for Chinese people’s daily lives, WeChat has been able to produce a breakdown (明细) of its u sers’ preferences by age group. Those born in the 1980s for example are followers of news related to state and public affairs, whereas those younger than 20 spend the most on sweet treats.In line with previous findings, China’s elderly population are becoming adept at using WeChat as a means of communication and conducting errands (办差事). As of September 2018, over 63 million users were registered as 55 years old or above. This group recorded an average length of 11 minutes for video calls, topping all age groups. WeChat Wallet has also registered exponential (指数的) growth, with payments in public transportation and high-speed traffic rising 4.7 times and 6.3 times, separately. Spending in retail stores and dining via WeChat rose by 1.5 times and 1.7 times. The number of users who use the app for making medical appointments and paying bills almost tripled.32.
