26、   Countless people’s first jobs were part-time positions. This is partly because full-time jobs are more difficult to obtain, and part-time jobs require less responsibility in general. Employers like to hire people for part-time jobs, as they often do not require them to hand out benefits. My first official part-time job was working at my community college as a writing and English tutor.

I still got poor grades in English and writing in high school. It was only in college that I began to flourish (起色) with a pen and paper. By my second year of college, I was often getting “A” grades or hearing praise from my professors. I think this transformation happened due to my enthusiasm for written word, and this excitement assisted me in overcoming my difficulties.

What astonished me most in my part-time job was that the ESL (English as a second language) students were often better writers than the native people I tutored. I think this was due to the fact that they seriously studied English grammar, punctuation and composition, whereas the native speakers took English for granted. What also surprised me was how people-friendly I could be. In high school, I was mostly a loner, and found comfort in books, my chess board and my computer. But in college, I became increasingly outgoing through my job.

I believe this experience is not only a great step forward towards full-time office work, but it’s also taught me that I love teaching and interacting with people of various backgrounds. In addition, I’ve learned the joy of working around my own schedule. Through having several part-time jobs, I can say that this type of work allows one to be happier, healthier, and have a better outlook on one’s assignments.

28、200,000 miles from Earth, the crew of the third manned mission to the Moon faced an astronaut’s worst nightmare: an explosion on the spacecraft It’s the plot of the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but it’s also a true story.

The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970. Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas --- the spacecraft was leaking（漏）oxygen. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” At first, they thought that a meteor（流星）had hit them, but they later found out that a short circuit（短路）had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module（指令舱）depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.

The only solution was to move into the lunar module --- the section of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon. Now though, they were using it as a kind of lifeboat. With its own power supply, oxygen and water, the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth. There was another problem though. In an enclosed space like a lunar module, the carbon dioxide the crew was breathing out was dangerous. The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people. Now it had to deal with three. Amazingly, the crew managed to build an adapter out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.

There was one final obstacle. The lunar module wasn’t strong enough to reenter Earth’s

atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module. To everyone’s relief, the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th. Although the crew didn’t land on the Moon, NASA still considered the mission a success.

【1】What was the astronauts’ first reaction to the explosion?

A．They went out to land on the Moon.

B．They informed scientists on Earth.

C．They moved into the lunar module.

D．They looked into the cause of the explosion.

【2】How did the astronauts solve their oxygen situation in the lunar module?

A．By moving back to the command module.

B．By lowering the carbon dioxide level.

C．By creating a new oxygen supply.

D．By limiting the oxygen use.

【3】What does the underlined word “obstacle” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Step.

B．Choice.

C．Problem.

D．Solution.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．A successful mission

B．A fantastic adventure

C．Deep space exploration

D．Life and death drama in space

29、You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.

Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’ t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.

Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.

In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

【1】What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

A. People and things around you.

B. Opportunities and problems.

C. Creators and their choices.

D. Victims and their sufferings.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.

A. seem willing to experience failures in life

B. possess the ability to predict future life

C. handle ups and downs of life wisely

D. have potential to create something new

【3】The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that __________.

A. strong attachment to (沉浸在) sufferings in life pulls people into victims

B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life

C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains

D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To define victims and creators.

B. To evaluate victims against creators.

C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.

D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.

30、Learning to share, even when it’s hard, is a basic skill to teach children, right? One mom thinks _______.

When Alanya Kolberg took her son Carson to the park, at least six other boys rushed at him, asking him to _______ his toys. As the boys _______ the Transformer, truck, and Minecraft figure, Kolberg told her frightened son that he could say _______. The boys looked to Kolberg, feeling _______ that her son wouldn’t share. But she told them that _______ he wanted to share, he would.

Kolberg asks anyone who doesn’t understand her _______ to take a different perspective. “Whose manners are _______ here? ” she writes. “The person _______ to give his 3 toys away to 6 strangers, or the 6 strangers demanding to be given something that doesn’t ________ to them, even when the owner is ________ uncomfortable? ”

But the mom wasn’t ________ other kids for being demanding. Instead, she wanted to teach Carson how to ________ himself when he’s being bullied(欺负). “The ________ is to teach our children how to function as adults,” she writes. “While I do know some adults who never learned how to share as children, I know far more who are ________ to say no to people. They don’t know how to set boundaries(边界) or how to practice ________. Myself included.”

After all, Carson does share—just not with ________ all the time. Actually he’d brought the toys so he could ________ another friend with them, Kolberg writes.

Most comments ________ the mom for her behavior. They said it could prevent children from becoming pushovers(易于控制的人).

If you ask my ________, I’d say kids should be taught to share, but meanwhile they should be taught to say “no”.
