21、As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you can’t figure out what to do first.
【1】
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important. One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal With Them
Confused or overwhelmed -- 【2】. Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher. They may help you find solutions to your problems and worries.
Being too hard on yourself – ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out with friends – anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems – recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once. 【3】
Goal-Setting Tips
It’s important to remember that goals belong to you – not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends. After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. 【4】, do some research. Try the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
【5】. If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals. Consider ways to overcome them. Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal – see what steps you can take to achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A．Too much to do
B．If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need
C．talk to someone you trust
D．Goals exist to serve you
E．Balancing goals in life
F．Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later
G．As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t
22、People take up volunteering for different reasons. 【1】, while others want to meet new people or learn new skills. Whatever the reason, you need to make some decisions.
Choose a charity or organization
Firstly, what sort of organization do you want to help. 【2】. And perhaps you have been affected by some of the problems that a charity aims to support, like children who need help. Many local schools rely on volunteers who come in regularly to read with the children or help with their math.
Decide on the kind of work
【3】, you then have to decide what sort of volunteer work you want to do. Think about your existing skills: Do you prefer hands-on work? Are you good at dealing with people? Do you have a background in paperwork? Charities need volunteers to work in shops, organize or manage money-raising events, or, in the case of animal charities, walk dogs.
【4】
Be prepared with information about your previous (or current) employment and the sort of skills you have, so that the charity can match you to the most appropriate role. You might think that you have no such skills. Don’t let your lack of confidence stop you. Ask your friends and loved ones what they think you have to offer.
Call for some relevant information
Most charities have a website with a section aimed at attracting potential volunteers and they advertise specific roles available. But smaller charities might not have money to do this. In this case, you would usually need to phone or visit their offices to find out how you can help. 【5】.
A．Apply for suitable positions
B．Decide on your interest
C．Some people want to “give something back”
D．You will be welcomed with open arms
E．You might have a particular charity in mind
F．Without them, they wouldn’t carry out their work
G．Once you have decided where you want to volunteer
23、The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing - not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
【1】There is no more hunting in India now partly because___.
A．it is dangerous to hunt there
B．hunting is already out of date
C．hunters want to protect animals
D．there are few animals left to hunt
【2】The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly____.
A．to make the countryside safe
B．to earn people’s admiration
C．to gain power and influence
D．to improve their health
【3】What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A．They hunt old animals
B．They mistreat animals
C．They hunt for food
D．They hunt for money
【4】What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A．Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B．Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C．Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D．Modern hunters should put their safety first
24、Analysis of the trial of the four-day working week has revealed great efficiency, reduced stress and increased staff engagement, fueling hopes that a better work-life balance for employees could be in sight.
Perpetual Guardian, a New Zealand financial services company, switched its 240 staff from a five-day to a four-day week and maintained their pay. Productivity increased in the four days when they worked, so there was no drop in the total amount of work done, a study of the trial released on Tuesday revealed. The trial was monitored by academics at the University of Auckland and the Auckland University of Technology. The eight-week experiment was closely watched by employers and policymakers around the world. “This is an idea whose time has come,” said Andrew Barnes, Perpetual Guardian’s founder. “We need to get more companies to give it a go.”
The government has conducted a study of the possibility of four-day weeks. However, research points to the complexity of achieving productivity gains in major industries such as retail(零售), where being present is a key part of the job. Smaller companies experimenting with four-day working weeks have found performance was better in the first few weeks as excitement about the project took hold, before falling slightly. “The biggest concern is ensuring that the full-time introduction of the policy doesn’t lead to self-satisfaction, as there is a risk that peopled productivity will slip back,” said Tammy Barker, a branch manager who was part of the trial. “Therefore, we’ve spent a lot of time making sure every person in every team has their own plan as to how they’re going to maintain and even improve productivity.”
According to Jarrod Haar, a professor of human resource management at the Auckland University of Technology, significantly lower job stress was reported with four-day working weeks. “Beyond wellbeing, employees reported their teams were stronger and functioned better together, more satisfied with their jobs, more engaged, and that they felt their work had greater meaning,” he said. “It is really a great way to make employees be more committed to the organization and less likely to look elsewhere for a job.”
【1】What changes took place in Perpetual Guardian during the experiment?
A．The length of daily working hours
B．The amount of pay per week
C．The efficiency of the employees
D．The work done per month
【2】What does the government’ research on the four-day working week probably reveal?
A．Some workers may become lazy.
B．The policy doesn’t suit all industries.
C．The four-day working week won’t work.
D．Many employers don’t approve of the trial.
【3】How did Tammy Barker deal with the concern about the policy?
A．By making plans for each of the employees.
B．By dividing all the employees into different teams.
C．By helping every employee get satisfaction from the work.
D．By encouraging every employee to be responsible for their plan.
【4】What’s Jarrod Haar’s attitude towards the four-day working week?
A．Unclear.
B．Concerned.
C．Approving.
D．Negative.

I think my _______ started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my degree and be left alone.
