26、Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身). nose rings. or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递) certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings. is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员) because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to refuse someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded. I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
【1】Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A.People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.
B.Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
C.Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.
D.Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
C.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
【3】What does the underlined word “candidates” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.job-seekers
B.customers
C.managers
D.employees
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Appearances Matter
B.Personal Choices Matter
C.Employees Matter
D.Hiring Managers Matter
27、 Fixing photos can hurt
Posting selfies (自拍) online can be a fun way to share your life with your friends and family. But some people take their photos a bit too seriously and spend a lot of time editing them. This not only presents a “fake” image (形象) of those people to the world, but can even make people feel worse about themselves.
Researchers in Australia did a study in which 130 women aged 18 to 30 were asked to look at a series of photos. Some of the photos showed thin women, while others showed average-sized women. Afterwards, the women were asked to take a selfie with an iPad and were then given 10 minutes to edit the selfie.
The women were also asked about their personal dissatisfaction with their bodies and faces several times during the experiment—before and after viewing their images, and after editing their selfies.
The researchers’ findings showed that the longer the women took to edit and post their selfies, the more likely they were to have negative (消极的) feelings about their own appearance. In addition, the more heavily edited the photos were, the more likely it was that the women were dissatisfied with their facial appearance.
People are often pressured to present the best version (版本) of themselves. This in turn creates greater stress as they edit their photos to “perfection”, while they themselves don’t actually change, according to Professor Marika Tiggemann, one of the researchers. The findings show the difficulties people face when using social media.
【1】Why do some people spend plenty of time editing their photos?
A.Because they want to show people their fake image.
B.Because they want to make people feel worse about them.
C.Because they want to kill time.
D.Because they take their photos too seriously.
【2】Which things were the women asked to do in the study?
①To look at given photos ②To make their selfies
③To comment on given photos ④To express their attitudes
⑤To edit their selfies
A.①②③④ B.①②④⑤ C.①②③⑤ D.②③④⑤
【3】Which one of the following is NOT the research’s finding?
A.The longer one edits his selfies,the more likely he feels negative with his appearance.
B.The more heavily edited one’s selfies are,the more likely one dissatisfies with his face.
C.When people post online their best selfies, their stress may decrease.
D.Posting over—edited selfies online can make people feel worse about themselves.
【4】What do Professor Marika Tiggemann’s words mean in last paragraph?
A.One’s stress with over-edited selfies actually results from pressure.
B.One’s stress with over-edited selfies is related to his appearance change.
C.One’s stress can lead to his photos’ perfection.
D.One can present his best version of himself under no pressure.
28、 I remember that every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home in the little envelope.
“For the rent.” Mama would say, counting out the big silver pieces.
“For the groceries.” Another pile of coins.
“Teacher says this week I'll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side.
We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask,” Is that all?” When Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile,” Good. We do not have to go to the Bank downtown.” We were all so proud of Mama's Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling. No one else we knew had money in a big bank downtown.
I remember when the Jensens down the street were put out because they couldn't pay their rent. We children watched the big strange men carry out the furniture, ignoring the tears of Mrs. Jensens. “Might this, could this, happen to us?”
“We have a Bank Account.” Mama comforted me calmly, and suddenly I could breathe again.
Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon.
That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama's and put it in her lap.” For you, I said,” to put in your Bank Account.” I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mama's hair was silver now.
Mama fingered the check and looked at Papa.” Good,” she said, and her eyes were proud.
“Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.”
“You will go with me, Katrin? But...”Mama stopped for a moment and looked at me.
“There is no account,” she continued. “In all my life, I've never been inside a bank.”
And when I didn't-couldn't-answer, Mama said seriously. “It is not good for little ones to be afraid-to not feel secure.”
【1】What can we learn about the family twenty years ago?
A.They lived downtown. B.They were badly in debt.
C.They had money in the bank. D.They were careful with money.
【2】What happened to the Jensens made the children feel

【3】What did Mama hesitate about at the end of the story?

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
