No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression―not the wrong one―from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job：
1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day,find out if your new job has a dress code. If so,be sure to follow it. No matter what,always be neat and clean.
2. Get to work on time. Employers value employees who come to work right on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to coworkers. These coworkers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your job duties,ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
5. Do not take too long for lunch. What is the lunchhour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company's personnel department. For example,do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?
6. Do not make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it is an emergency.
7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your coworkers behave around quitting time. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.

Before Microsoft came along,there really was no software industry~just a few companies selling very highpriced software only to companies,big companies. The idea of lowcost software that would be empowering (赋予.... 权力) for individuals and that there could be literally around the world hundreds of thousands of these successful companies―that was part of the Microsoft dream. And in fact,the software industry is 10 ,000 times bigger because of the work we do. Microsoft has a uniform platform that has gotten out to go around the world. And so in every country we've helped companies grow up,create jobs,pay taxes around the software world. The main competitors who don't like us are actually hardware companies who have been used to charging very high prices for the hardware and the PCs changed that.
It's hard to think of a business that's had a more positive effect for customers than the PC business. The rate of product improvement provides its ability to create and stay in touch. You know the closest comparison is when publishing came along and people had books. Of course books created a problem. You know,the people wanted to control things didn't like books;the people who wanted to sell highpriced hand written things didn't like the printing press. But actually it was something that people knew really that it was very positive. The same thing's happened with the P C. There's no company that in terms of our work has gotten as positive feedback and has gotten as broad a set of users. Those users are always telling us what they'd like to see us make better,and that's partly why it's a fun business because we get to make new versions of the software all the time.
Well,the vision of Microsoft is about information as you want it,any time,anywhere,any place. And this is an overall strategy about making it easier to write software,easier to share data,revolutionizing user interface with the speech and handwriting. And making reading off the computer as good or better than paper and so today we will see that the horizons for software will let us get so much more than even what we have now.
( ) 5. How did Microsoft change the software industry?
A. By selling highpriced software to the big companies.
B. By offering free classes on computer to individuals.
C. By selling all kinds of software to single person directly.
D. By making a competition with the hardware companies.
( ) 6. Which of the following is NOT the Microsoft dream?
A. Producing more and more lowpriced software.
B. Paying more attention to some big companies.
C. Making the computer easier for ordinary people to use.
D. Reading on the computer better than paper.
( ) 7. Why did the writer offer the example of books in Paragraph 2?
A. To show the great effect of the PC business.
B. To show the development of science.
C. To show the problem the books created.
D. To foretell the computer will take the place of the book.
( ) 8. What's the writer's attitude towards the future of Microsoft?
A. Positive. B. Suspicious. C. Negative. D. Critical.
( ) 9. What will the following part of the passage be about?
A. The developments on PC in the future.
B. The ways to sell software in the world.

One of the most expected anticipated revolutions in aviation (航空) is to take off in 2008,as new superfast,relatively cheap airplanes called "very light jets" finally go into service.
Thanks to breakthroughs in the performance of engines for small jets,along with better airplane manufacturing techniques,companies such as Eclipse Aviation,the Albuquerque,N. M.，and Adam Aircraft of Denver are promising a new kind of aircraft for a new category of travel：jetspeed transportation between as many as 5 ,500 US airports,in planes that cost as little as $1. 5 million.
That's a part of the price of today's private jets.
Waiting for final certification by the Federal Aviation Administration,which is now expected in the second quarter of 2008,Eclipse's sixseat E500 could be in the hands of pilots this July.
A private charter service based at Hanscom Field in Lexington,Mass., Linear Air LL C. already has ordered 30 of the Eclipse very light jets and plans to put them in service between August and late 2009. The planes can fly at more than 400 mph,twice the typical speed of private propellerdriven planes.
"This is the absolute future,and everybody in the aviation business knows it," said Arthur Allen,chairman of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission,which oversees 38 smaller airports around the state.
Because VLJs weigh as little as a minivan (微型车) ，they can land on runways as short as 3 ,000 feet―compared with the 4 ,000 or 5,000 feet required by the smallest private jets today. Allen envisions (预测) them opening up new markets for air taxi and charter services.
"It's like an executive car service,with wings," said Bill Herp,Linear Air's chief executive. " VLJs are going to revolutionize the way a large percentage of the traveling public gets around."
Part of Linear's plan with scheduled charter service is to introduce passengers to the private plane experience and turn them to future customers for $1,500 or $3,000 charter flights,either for business or vacation travel for rich consumers.
For Herp,the huge advantage of VLJs is they will cost a third as much to buy and half as much to operate per hour as traditional small jets,vastly broadening the market for air taxi and charter services.
( ) 5. What is the best title of the passage?
A. New Jets May Change Air Travel
B. The Bright Future for New Jets
C. The Advantage of the New Jets
D. Fast and Cheaper Jets
( ) 6. What is NOT the advantage of the new jets,compared with the private jets today?
A. They can cost less both in buying and using.
B. They can carry more people on the board.
C. They can fly faster and can be more convenient.
D. They need shorter runway.
( ) 7. We may learn from the passage that .
A. they are beginning to sell the new jets at lower prices
B. they will let some people experience the travel of the new jets
C. they will make the course and the price of the tickets of the jets
D. they are making contracts with taxi business
( ) 8. What does the underlined phrase "charter services" mean in the passage?
A. To hire the plane for a particular purpose.
B. To make a chart while flying.
C. The first flight.
D. A pleasant flight.
( ) 9. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the jets can be operated by an ordinary car driver in the future
B. the new jets can only be used by the rich as their private planes
C. the new jets will have a promising market
D. all the companies will use them to take the place of the cars

Warmer sea temperatures could worsen the widespread destruction of coral reefs that hit the Caribbean in 2005,scientists fear.
In the waters around the US Virgin Islands,as much as 40 percent of coral died in some reefs last year,and the coral that survived probably isn't healthy enough to survive another hot summer,said Caroline Rogers,a US Geological Survey biologist.
Reefs are vital habitat for fish,lobsters and other sea life that feed and breed in the sheltered waters. The reefs also change storm waves that might otherwise wash away the beaches that are at the heart of the region's multibilliondollar tourism industry.
"You don't know how scary it looks down there," said Zandy Starr,who monitors coral and sea turtles in St. Croix's national parks. "All of us thought that by now,with all the cooler temperatures in January and February,we would have seen recovery,but they're still sick."
Glassy,calm seas have permitted coralkilling ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays to access to the ocean floor,warming water temperatures and making the fragile (易碎的) undersea life more sensitive to disease,Starr said.
Scientists haven't pinpointed (准确地说出) what caused coral to become sick or led to the warm water,which stresses coral and makes it more susceptible (敏感的) to disease. They can't say whether global warming is a factor.
"We don't really have the data. You need a record over decades. There's a lot of research that needs to happen”，said Alberto Sabat,a biology professor at the University of Puerto Rico.
But the trend of warmer waters isn't limited to the Caribbean. The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration said waters were warmer than usual in the South Pacific,mid-Atlantic and Indian Ocean in mid-April.
Rogers said coral grew far better after hurricanes that devastated (摧毁) the US Virgin Islands in 1989 and 1995 because the storms cooled the sea,allowing reefs to recover relatively quickly from damage.
Rising temperatures appear to be "something new that the corals aren't used to," said Tyler Smith,a marine researcher at the University of the Virgin Islands.
The scientists worry that the problem is being overlooked,
"People just don't know that much about coral because it's underwater. If 40 percent of the trees ill one of our national parks died,people would take notice”，Rogers said.
( ) 5. The underlined word "overlooked" in the passage means .
A. to have a view from above B. to fail to notice
C. to pay attention to D. to guide somebody
( ) 6. According to the passage,coral is very important because .
A. it is the necessity for the sea life
B. it can prevent the global warming spreading
C. it can make the beach more beautiful so that people can earn more money
D. it can offer a shelter not only for the human being but also for the fish
( ) 7. The example of hurricanes given by Rogers is to show .
A. coral reefs don't like the warm water
B. hurricanes are good for the growing of coral reefs
C. the global warming is terrible for coral reefs
D. how to cure the sick coral reefs
( ) 8. What can we infer from the passage?
A. More and more areas will face the coral problem.
B. The survived coral is being recovered this year.
C. Most people have noticed the seriousness of the problem.
D. Calm seas are good for the coral growing.
( ) 9. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Research Report on the Coral Problem
B. Scientists Is Warning of Threat to Coral Reefs
C. Coral Reefs Are Part of Our Life

Street art can be found on buildings,sidewalks,street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings,sculptures,cloth or even stickers. Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now,even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists.
It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also,because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission,street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of nontraditional cultural expression.
Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the nineteen sixties. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their "tag" on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti. It is visually exciting and energetic.
Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a dispute between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
During the 1980s,two famous New York painters―Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.
( ) 1. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.
B. Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.
C. Many people are beginning to learn street art.
D. Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.
( ) 2. What can we know from the passage?
A. "Tag" was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.
B. There are three reasons to explain why it is hard to define the history of street art.
C. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
D. All the people don't think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.
( ) 3. The underlined word "dispute" in the passage means .
A. trade B. quarrel C. crime D. trouble
( ) 4. The best title of the passage is
A. The Way to Become a Street Srtist
B. What does Graffiti Art Stand For
