So, every day Ms. Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds delivering them in North Point. She’s a courier, or called a delivery worker.‎ Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor moved abroad. It was extremely difficult for her to find another job. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?‎ ‎“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old, what are you working for?’ I was very unhappy.” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of Ms. Cheng’s neighbors told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific jobs, such as convenience store assistants,‎ ‎ junior clerks and so on.‎ ‎“I was interested in delivery work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy. So I thought why not give it a try.” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms. Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier (速递) Service Company Limited. But then Ms. Cheng was faced with a conflict: she was caught between honor and employment. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she took heart and went off to work as a courier. ‎ Ms. Cheng’s employer is delighted with her, “Ms. Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Currently, Mr. Chong has 60 couriers working for his company: five of them are over fifty, four of whom have been through the ERB plan. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than the youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but the young ones will,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”‎ ‎21. Why was it difficult for Ms. Cheng to find another nursing job?‎ A. People didn’t think she had enough working experience.‎ B. People thought she was too old to take on a new job.‎ C. She found it difficult to trust others.‎ D. Nursing clinics were hard to find.‎ ‎22. Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because ________.‎ A. she felt uncomfortable working with the colleagues B. her children were concerned about her health ‎ C. she was bored with changeless jobs D. she was too old to fit the job ‎23. Employee’s Retraining Board is aimed at ________.‎ A. finding jobs for older people B. training older people to be nurses ‎ C. teaching new skills to older people D. helping older people to develop interests ‎ ‎24. When Ms. Cheng was offered the courier job she ________.‎ A. took it straight away B. thought it over and then accepted it C. thought about it and then refused it D. refused it straight away but then changed her mind ‎25. From the text, we can learn Ms. Cheng is ____________.‎ A. capable but stubborn B. purposeful but unreliable C. confident and humorous D. independent and responsible B Sian Beilock and Susan Levine, two psychologists at the University of Chicago, are trying to learn about learning. In a new study about the way kids learn math in primary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math. “If these girls keep being taught by math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,” Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.‎ Just as students find certain subjects difficult, teachers can find certain subjects difficult to learn and teach. The subjects of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.‎ The new study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first and second-grade teachers in primary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.‎ The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.‎ Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher’s anxiety. On average, girls with ‎ math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls thought that boys would be better at math---and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers with math anxiety, Levine said.‎ ‎26. Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to _______________.‎ A. compare the effects of different teaching methods B. find ways of avoiding math anxiety for teachers C. prove women teachers are unfit to teach math D. study students’ ways of learning math ‎27. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?‎ A. Girls may end up suffering more negative influence on learning math.‎ B. Teachers’ math anxiety may become more and more serious.‎ C. Teachers may help girls get rid of math anxiety.‎ D. Girls may gain unexpected achievement in math.‎ ‎28. In the study, what were the teachers required to do?‎ A. Prepare math achievement tests for the students.‎ B. Tell researchers their feelings about math problems.‎ C. Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy.‎ D. Compare the students’ scores after the math tests.‎ ‎29. What is the finding of the new study?‎ A. Almost all the girls scored lower in the tests than the boys.‎ B. No male students were affected by their teachers’ anxiety.‎ C. About 30% of the girls thought boys were better at math.‎ D. Girls with math-anxiety teachers failed in the math tests.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Developing Children’s Math Abilities B. Teaching Math, Teaching Anxiety C. Keeping Free of Math Anxiety ‎ D. Finding a Math Superstar 第二节 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 31 So challenge the following limits:‎ Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.‎ If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 32 But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"‎ ‎ 33 ‎ Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income. ‎ Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. ‎ ‎ 34 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself. ‎ Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.‎ Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers --- try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. 35 ‎ A. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.‎ B. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop. ‎ C. Start to travel now and then to challenge yourself.‎ D. Running in the gym may be a better choice. ‎ E. You don't need to go to the gym.‎ F. Someone may hang up on you.‎ G. You should do it continuously.‎ 第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。‎ During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California.
