Due to our success and growth, we are looking for an enthusiastic travel consultant (travel agent) in our popular Camden store. If you would love to start a career in travel sales, this could be the job you've been looking for!‎ ‎•Learn about a diverse range of countries, including a focus on Australia (where Flight Centre was founded!)‎ ‎•Earn excellent awards in addition to a high base salary of £20,000 (OTE of £28K)‎ ‎•Fantastic store environment ‎•Great travel opportunities ‎•Award-winning benefits Do you want to:‎ ‎✓ Work in a successful travel sales environment?‎ ‎✓ Sell amazing travel experiences?‎ ‎✓ Build a customer portfolio?‎ ‎✓ Develop a career within travel?‎ ‎✓ Be rewarded for your hard work with a great salary?‎ If so, this is the role for you. With outstanding training, Flight Centre literally offers you the world and opens doors to its management pathway.‎ What we are looking for:‎ ‎•A desire for sales ‎•Passion for travel (first-hand travel outside of Europe)‎ ‎•Outstanding people skills to warm our customers ‎•High level of education (degree preferred)‎ As our stores are open on the weekend and this can be the most popular time for our customers to visit, you'll need to be prepared to work 3 out of 4 weekends (although you will only work 5 days a week).‎ Our fantastic benefits include:‎ ‎•In-house health and fitness team with free health screenings ‎•Free health cash plan ‎•Entitlement increase after 1 year ‎•Opportunity to take 4-week travel leave every 2 years ‎•Opportunity to take 3-month vacation ‎•Tax-free bike system ‎ Join us in our success and start selling incredible travel experiences!‎ ‎21. Who might be interested in the passage?‎ A. Those who often take flights. ‎ B. Those trained by professional organizations.‎ C. Those who want to set up their own companies. ‎ D. Those who like travel sales.‎ ‎22. What does one need to do if he wants to apply for the position?‎ A. Liking travelling and have communication skills. ‎ B. Working only five days a week in most days.‎ C. Having special training experience. ‎ D. Mastering several foreign languages.‎ ‎23. Which benefit is not mentioned for the position?‎ A. Long free holidays with salaries. ‎ B. The opportunities of being promoted.‎ C. Abroad training opportunities. ‎ D. Good working conditions and extra awards.‎ B There’s always one student who never speaks. He constantly looks down at the desk or his ‎ work, afraid to move his eyesight elsewhere. Occasionally, he’ll glance your way but only to look back down again. It’s clear from his body language that he is uncomfortable, but there’s no way in making him feel at home. There’s nothing wrong with him. He is just introvert (内向的).‎ In some countries, the introvert may find their way of life easily. However, in the US, the extrovert (外向的) are everywhere talking, shouting and laughing for the world to hear. America is a nation that believes in the freedom of speech. There’s nothing we love more than the right to speak as we please, so much that the burning of the American flag is a protected speech. Though it’s looked down upon, the ashes of an American flag will not lead to a punishment of any kind. It’s legal. ‎ What seems not to be legal, however, is shyness. In our nation, those who fear of speaking will not get by. ‎ Of course, speaking helps make the mind excited, improve one’s thoughts, and build a sense of confidence that wouldn’t have been produced. It may be uncomfortable and embarrassing, but it’s all worthwhile in the end.‎ Although the importance of social confidence is widely recognized, it’s not unheard of to see introverts succeed in various activities. In college, for example, they would be studying rather than spending the day with friends. They would be seen in a library rather than at a social event. Although these types of students lack the outgoing personality, they do not always lack the desire to succeed. If they are content without speaking their mind, so be it. ‎ ‎24. Which of the following is probably NOT an introvert student’s school behavior?‎ A. Seldom speaking out. B. Avoiding teachers’ eyes.‎ C. Laughing out loud. D. Not feeling at home.‎ ‎25. What will probably happen if you burn the American flag?‎ A. You will be called an introvert. B. You will be put in prison. ‎ C. You deserve some punishment. D. Nothing serious will arise.‎ ‎26. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the introvert?‎ A. They can just be themselves. B. They’re quite socially confident.‎ C. It’s embarrassing to be with them. D. They should learn to be more outgoing.‎ ‎27. Where is the passage most probably from?‎ A. An article on educational psychology. B. A diary of a college student.‎ C. A research essay on brain science. D. An American newspaper on social events.‎ C Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.‎ What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”‎ To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?‎ A. Wealth results from honest effort.‎ B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.‎ C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.‎ D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.‎ ‎29. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.‎ A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face B. No pains, no gains C. Failure is the mother of success D. Bread comes from the sweat on your face ‎30. We learn from the passage that the author ________.‎ A. was a wealthy person in the community B. held a positive attitude towards an active life C. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)‎ D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed ‎31. What is implied in the passage by the writer?‎ A. To use wealth properly, cat, drink and be merry.‎ B. Where there is a will, there is a way.‎ C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.‎ D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.‎ D There are usually few things people want to do less than housework. But while washing the dishes and dusting the shelves can seem like a troublesome thing, a new study has revealed just how important they are to general health and happiness.‎ In fact, scientists now believe cleaning the home is more important to mental and physical health than other factors, such as the area you live in or how much you earn. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University say the benefit of housework is because of the exercise it takes to get the daily job done, which in turn affects mental health.‎ Dr Wright, at the university’s Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and a research team wanted to find out how income, education, environment and health behaviors, like smoking and exercise, affect an older person’s health. The study’s 337 participants, from 65 to 94 years old, had to have at least one chronic (慢性的) illness. They also had to have physical restrictions (限制) that prevented them from doing at least one basic daily task, such as bathing and dressing.‎ Dr Wright said she was surprised to learn that housework and keeping their property affected the participants’ physical and mental well-being more than other factors. “House cleaning kept them up and moving,” said Dr Wright. “A clean environment is helpful to treat some illnesses. What I found was that neighborhood poverty did not directly affect mental or physical health.”‎ The study provided evidence that Wright had observed in her visits: people living in a chaotic (混乱的) environment seemed less satisfied than those in a place that was neat and tidy. Wright hopes the study shows how important it is for older adults with disabilities and chronic illnesses to continue physical activities, such as doing reaching exercises while sitting, arm curls and standing up and sitting down in a chair.‎ ‎32. When doing housework, people can .‎ a. learn to share b. finish daily task c. do some exercise d. learn to be responsible e. enjoy staying with family f. live happily and healthily A. a. c. e B. b, c, f C. c. d. f D. d. e. f ‎33. How do Dr Wright and her team do their research?‎ A. By observing the changes of the participants behavior.‎ B. By trying different treatments on the participants illnesses.‎ C. By limiting the participants moving areas to certain places.‎ D. By choosing those who are a little weak as their participants.‎ ‎34. We can infer from the passage that .‎ A. some people are too busy to do housework ‎ B. some people can do less housework than before C. some people have difficulty in doing housework ‎ D. some people do not think highly of doing housework ‎35. The passage is mainly telling us that .‎ A. the advantages of doing housework ‎ B. the effective ways to do housework C. the different attitudes towards housework ‎ D. the hidden meanings of doing housework 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 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。‎ The way you spend your morning can add a certain flavor to the rest of your day. Here are some healthy lifestyle habits that help you start your day in a better way. ‎ Listen to Music ‎ 36 . Listening to music as you get ready and start your day will create positive energy ‎ and a sense of peace. Music can promote other healthy lifestyle habits, adding a sense of peace, putting a spring in your step on a morning walk, or refresh your mind. ‎ ‎ 37 ‎ Many people shower in the morning though we often rush through it. Why not take a few extra minutes to take a shower? As you let the warm water loosen your muscles, think about the challenges that lie ahead, focus on what you have to be grateful for in life, and remember this warm feeling. ‎ ‎ 38 ‎ For those of you who start the day on a cake and coffee, read this! Breakfast is known as the most important meal of the day for a very good reason: a healthy meal in the morning can balance your blood sugar levels and give you the nutrients you need to handle physical and mental stress. Be sure to have plenty of protein and fruit, not just caffeine and empty calories! ‎ Keep Your Journal ‎ Journaling has many health benefits and can lead to increased self-awareness. Take a few minutes to focus on what you hope to achieve. 39 . Writing once a day can help you feel focused, process negative emotions, and solve problems. ‎ Morning Walk ‎ 40 . Morning walk can get you ready for your day, help you sleep better at night, lower your stress level, and reduce your risk of numerous health conditions. ‎ A. Relax in the Shower ‎ B. Eat a Balanced Breakfast ‎ C. Don’t skip your breakfast ‎ D. Taking physical exercise regularly is a good way to keep fit E. Music can reduce stress and have a positive effect on health F.
