It’s never too early to start considering the future. Now, here are some good choices for you! Retail （零售） Sales Retail offers plenty of chances for teens who are looking for a job. This type of work can pay from $ 10 to $ 15 an hour depending on the duty you are expected to take on. For more information, call us at 4005075. Food Service A job in the food service industry is a natural fit for sociable teens who enjoy communicating with the public.

A. 4005075 B. 4005077 C. 4005076 D. 4005079 B One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren? Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain. When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: 揑 find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.” Another development that has favored 揼 rey games? is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm. Some people argue that 揼 rey gamers? simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the 揼 rey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. 24. The second paragraph is intended to ________. A. show the best way to exercise the brain B. stress the importance of good health C. explain why grey gamers exist D. teach how to play videogames 25. What was older people’s attitude towards their using personal computers at first? A. Doubtful B. Indifferent C. Enthusiastic D. Supportive 26. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ________. A. offering figures B. giving examples C. quoting experts’ words D. providing charts 27. By saying 揟 his couldn’t be further from the truth.? in Paragraph 5, the author means ________. A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older people B. children should improve their skills with practice C. playing computer games requires analytical thinking D. older people can perform well in some computer games C Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found. It also found that nearly half of the students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school. Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. 揅 hildren being bullied will find it hard to trust others,? Zhou said. 揟 hey may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.” In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate ( 最 高 人 民 检 察 院 ) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old. Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects. 28．Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying? A． A 10-year-old boy from a poor family B． A 17-year-old boy from a rich family C． A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary school D． A 10-year-old girl from a key school 29．Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____. A． a lack of trust in other people B． a drop in the sense of depression C． a lack of ability to manage their life D． a drop in academic performance 30．We can learn from the text that _____.

A． Negative effects on children caused by bullying B． Is anything we can do about bullying? C． The reasons for bullying on campus D． Bullying affects half of the students D A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭 子)and a chair. The whip get 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 achiever (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 the way . 32．Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A． To trick the lion. B． To show off his skill . C． To get ready for a fight. D． To entertain the audience. 33．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair? 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. 34．What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3? A． Tolerant B． Doubtful C． Respectful D． Supportive 35．When the world is 搘 aving a chair in your face?, you’re advised to_____. A． wait for a better chance B． break your old habits C． Concentrate on your goal D． ask for clear guidance 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。 Have you ever had the following experience?
