18．Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time？When you select your career，there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position． If you ignore your personality，it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay．There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job．Here are a few of those main areas；
1）Do you prefer working alone or with other people？
There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy．Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer．There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two，which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation．
2）How do you handle change？
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them，but some are more than others．If you need stability in your life，you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often．Other people would be bored of the same daily routine．
3）Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic．There are people who are happy to spend more than 40hours a week on a computer，while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day．Again，these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well．
4）What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly．
5）How do you like to get paid？
Some people are motivated by the pay they get，while others feel too stressed to be like that．The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this．
Anyway，these are a great starting point for you．I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love．It may take you a little longer，but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better．
29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad．
B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily．
C．Extreme people tend to work with others．
D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs．
30．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean？B
A．Before you select your job，you should assess your skills and match them with your position
B．There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job．
C．Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job．
D．You should ignore your skills when you select job．
31．What is the best title for this passage？D
A．Lifestyles and Job Pay．
B．Jobs and Environment．
C．Job Skills and Abilities．
D．Personalities and Jobs．

分析本文是一篇说明文．文章主要讲述了工作和性格之间的关系，并为此提出了几点宝贵的意见，以供参考．

解答 29-31 DBD
29．D 考查推理判断．根据文章第二段中的Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer．可知，大多数人不极端但他们有他们偏爱的倾向．可推知D正确．A错是因为：孤立的工作使外向的人便疯狂，而不是所有的人；B项错因为：相互交流的工作使害羞的人感到不自在，而不是使人更害羞；C错因为：文章没提到极端的人易于和其他人合作．
30．B 考查猜测句意．根据文章第一段中的There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job．Here are a few of those main areas；可以推知：你在选择职业生涯的时候，除了技术和职位以外还有几个你个人的性格问题需要考虑．这和选项B相吻合
31．D 考查文章的标题．根据文章第一段中的中心句If you ignore your personality，it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay．There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job．Here are a few of those main areas；可知，文章讲述的是：人的个性和工作之间的关系．故选D．

点评做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项（3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．

8．If you are sitting，please stand up．Move your legs．Touch your toes if you can．Do anything but sit．New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting，you might live longer．Sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years．Cutting television time to less than two hours a day can add one point four years to life．
The human body is designed to move．The fact is just the opposite．Modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around．We sit while we're eating； we sit in the car； we sit while we are watching TV．And most of us sit for many hours at work．Sitting is something we do all the time．On average，Americans sit for four and a half to five hours a day．But that does not make sitting good for us．
Though you may exercise often，that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours．We can't throw away physical activity．It is extremely important．Even if you exercise for 30minutes a day，what goes on in the other 23and a half hours a day is also very important．
Changes are coming to some offices，especially in the design of desks．A"standing desk"lets people stand while they work．Another new design is called the"treadmill desk"．It is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place．Even some U．S．schools begin to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving．
Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody．However，they may get five standing desks or a treadmill desk for their employees and put them in a certain place where people can go for an hour a day to answer their emails or talk on the phone．Experts suggest some other activities：take a walk at lunchtime； walk to the offices and talk directly instead of emailing colleagues．All these activities may help you live longer．

28．Why should people stand up according to the new research？C
A．They should touch their toes．
B．Standing more can cure some diseases．

6．A new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain．From tomorrow，visitors to SampleTrend's central London store can try anything on its shelves，and all of the products can be taken home without charge．
For an annual membership fee of£60，users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than£250worth of goods every year．The only‘catch'is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try．Known as‘try-vertising'，the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback（反馈）before launching onto the open market．It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry．If everything goes well，countries such as Germany and France will give it a try．According to new figures，stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months．Michael Ghosh，the founder behind SampleTrend，said，"The concept behind SampleTrend is unique in the UK．It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real，full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny．"The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective．Businesses across all sectors from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers，place new products on the shelves at SampleTrend and wait for consumers to try them out．
Customers complete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product．The feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market．The SampleTrend store stocks everything from cosmetics，food and drink，and household goods．Ghosh，the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe，said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset-a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses．

13．Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville，Texas，Mildred Garza never planned to move away．Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children，she politely refused．Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms．Garza finally say yes．That was four years ago．Today all three generations regard the move as a success，giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities．
No statistics（数据） show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren．Yet there is evidence（证据） suggesting that the trend（趋势） is growing．Even President Obama's mother-in-law，Marian Robinson，has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters．According to a study by grandparents．com，83percent of the people said Mrs．Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family．Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family．
"In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，"says Christine Crosby，publisher of Grand，a magazine for grandparents．"We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them，especially when you're raising children．"
Moving is not for everyone．Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices（牺牲），but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead．Having your grandchildren far away is hard，especially knowing your adult child is struggling，but giving up the life you know may be harder．

25．Why was Garza's move a success？A
A．It strengthened（加强） her family ties．
B．It improved her living conditions．
C．It enabled（使…能够） her to make more friends．
D．It helped her know more new places．
26．What was the reaction of the public to Mrs．Robinson's decision？D
A．17% expressed their support for it．
B．Few people responded sympathetically（同情地）．
C．83% believed it had a bad influence．
D．The majority thought it was a trend．
27．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s？C
A．They were unsure of themselves．
B．They were eager to raise more children．
C．They wanted to live away from their parents．
D．They had little respect for their grandparents．
28．What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph？A
A．Make decisions in the best interests of their own．
B．Ask their children to pay more visits to them．
C．Sacrifice for their struggling children．
D．Get to know themselves better．

3．A typical lion tamer （驯兽师） in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭） and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）--only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．
It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become…take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．
29．Why does the lion tamer use a chair？A
A．To trick the lion．
B．To show off his skills．
C．To get ready for a fight．
D．To entertain the audience．
30．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？A
A．They feel puzzled over choices．
B．They hold on to the wrong things．
C．They find it hard to make changes．
D．They have to do something for show．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？B
A．Positive．
B．Doubtful．
C．Respectful．
D．Supportive．
32．When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised toC．
A．wait for a better chance
B．break your old habits
C．make a quick decision
D．ask for clear guidance．

10．A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops（笔记本电脑）．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility （清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professors said．
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．
The researchers'report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．
25．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they canD．
A．understand lectures better
B．digest concepts better
C．get higher scores
D．write more notes
26．While taking notes，laptop users tend to beA．
A．mindless
B．thoughtful
C．skillful
D．tireless
27．The author of the passage aims toA．
A．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
B．promote  the use of laptops
C．explain the process of taking notes
D．examine the importance of long-term memory
28．The passage is likely to appear inB．
A．a computer textbook
B．a science magazine

8．A patent is the tool that can be used to prevent people from making，selling，offering to sell or importing the patented items without permission．According to the patent law，any person who"invents any new and useful process，machine，or composition （成分） of matter，or any new and useful improvement may obtain a patent．"
The law has described the limits of the field of subject matter that can be patented，and thus it has been held that the laws of nature，physical phenomena，and abstract ideas are not patentable subject matter．A patent cannot be obtained upon just an idea or suggestion．
In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as described in the patent law，which also states that an invention cannot be patented if："（a） the invention was known or used by others in this country"，or"（b）the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country"，（c） the invention was in public use or on sale in this country more than one year before the application for patent"．
Moreover，even if the subject matter sought to be patented is not exactly shown by the previous art，and involves one or more differences over the most nearly similar thing already known，a patent may still be refused．The subject matter sought to be patented must be fully different from what has been used or described before in the area of technology related to the invention．For example，the substitutions of one color for another，or changes in size，are not patentable．

56．We can learn from the text that a patentB．
A．is a legal limit to the spread of most new inventions
B．serves as an effective tool to protect inventors'rights
C．proves necessary when people want to invent something
