“Find a job you love,and you’ll never work a day in your life.”Do you agree with this old saying?Joanne Gordon does.She is the author of Be Happy at Work and other books about careers(职业).Gordon believes that about 30% of employees(雇员)in North America do not like their jobs,and she thinks that is terrible.She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied(满意)with their jobs find work that is good for them.Joanne says,“There are no happy jobs,only happy workers.”She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics(特点).
First,happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs,and they look forward to the workday.Take Tony Hawk,for example.At age 14,he became a professional skateboarder.Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games,but he still skates every day.He once said.“My youngest son’s preschool class was recently asked what their dads do for work.My son said,‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’”Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work.He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.
Second,happy workers like the people they work with.Sally Ayote says,“I work with the coolest people in the world.”She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica.Most of these people are scientists who are doing research.Sally loves to sit and talk with them.She says,“There is no television here,no radio,so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.”Sally thinks she has a great job,and the best part about it is the people.
Third,happy workers know that their work helps others.Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers.She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid,which shows movies in refugee(难民)camps around the world.Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps.For one thing,entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while.Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety.For example,in one camp,thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water.Caroline knows that she is helping other people,and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.
Tony Hawk,Sally Ayote,and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work.Tony Hawk says,“Find the thing you love.If you are doing what you love,there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.”Joanne Gordon would agree.She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing,find people they like to work with,and find ways to help others.Then they can be proud of what they do,and they will probably be happy at work.

A.Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work.
B.Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.

25、 We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We think about changing only when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽 视) it.
Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that we are just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be with groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Exercising three times a week would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.
【1】The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain
B.we are responsible for the problems we meet
C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way
D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs
【2】According to the passage, what is the key to solving Jane’s problem?
A.She needs to remember why she started.
B.She has to know how to get on with people.
C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.
D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.
【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.ignoring change can make us happier
B.people change when they find it easy to do that
C.welcoming change in life helps us to become better
D.enjoying self-improvement makes life more difficult
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is it important to take things light?
B.Is it necessary to face challenges?
C.To hold on to the last moment or to give up?
D.To unlock ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

27、阅读下列短文,然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
It was over two months before Christmas when 9-year-old Mary told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her old Barbi bike was too old and it often needed repairing. As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn’t mention it again.
Then much to our surprise, on December 24th, she said that she really wanted a bike as the Christmas present more than anything else. We didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing presents for our children, parents and also friends till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we might in this way make our child unhappy on Christmas, we felt guilty and sad.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of the clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one after Christmas?” So he spent the next 5 hours working on a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were very excited and waited for Mary to open the little box with the beautiful red and white bike and the note. She opened the box and read the note loudly. She looked at me and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling, I said, “yes.”
Mary had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made for me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real one.” At that moment, we thought we would have moved the god to buy her every bike on earth.
