26、5 Professional Resume (简历) Writing Tips
Whether you are searching for a job or you simply want to change careers, it is important to have a resume that sells you to potential employers.
Competition for jobs is fierce. 【1】 This means they are likely to spend only a few seconds looking at your application. List the most important information at the top of the resume. Even if they only read halfway through, they will know everything they need to make a decision.
【2】 Make sure you design job titles that indicate what your job experience is. Instead of simply listing “Kitchen help”, use “Fry cook and part-time baker”. The manager will be able to tell at a glance if you have the experience they need for their open position.
An important aspect of resume writing is the ability to sell yourself to the hiring manager. Because they want to know if you will be fit for the company, so while writing your resume, try to connect your skills to practicality. Tell potential employers that you increased revenue (税) for your previous employer by 30%. 【3】
Many employers are searching online for job candidates. To maximize the chances of having your resume seen, try to add keywords to the text before you upload it to a resume hosting site. You should do some research on the types of keywords employers are using to find candidates (候选人). 【4】
Your resume writing needs to be perfect. 【5】 It is a good idea to set the resume aside for a few days and read it again with fresh eyes. If you need to get it out quickly, you can have someone that you trust review it before you submit it to a potential employer.
A. You had better use descriptive job titles.
B. Many employers are tied up with applications and resumes.
C. That is much more impressive than that you simply sold items.
D. You are supposed to send your resume repeatedly and carefully.
E. Therefore, reread your resume several times to catch any errors.
F.Because the hiring manager will spend a little time looking at your resume.
G. One idea is to look at the job announcement and use some of the keywords found there.
27、 Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.
Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A previous research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrates on studies with learners who had signed up for language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.
Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are available for free while some contents are not, We find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level as there is a decrease in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Females tend to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.
Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is helpful, this is not the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the answer is right or wrong. In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.
More than 92% of the people state that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the app as very good or good. In fact, more than 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.
Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance anxiety that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.
【1】Why weren’t the results of the former research always dependable?
A.Because it used out-of-date methods.
B.Because it just focused on positive results.
C.Because it was only carried out before class.
D.Because it only considered users of a limited type.
【2】What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?
A.All the contents are free to use. B.It’s used by more advanced learners.
C.Most users consider it satisfying. D.It’s more popular with female learners.
【3】Which of the following can probably replace the underlined word address?
A.Deal with. B.Write down. C.Turn to. D.Speak of.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Students won’t suffer anxiety in learning languages by using Busuu.
B.Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.
C.Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.
D.Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.
28、A study suggests that the Arctic “may be essentially ice-free (不结冰) during summer within 15 years.”
The study used statistical models to predict the future amount of Arctic ice, which suggested that the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer during the decade of the 2030s---most likely in the year 2034.
Sea ice is frozen ocean water that melts each summer, then refreezes each winter. The amount of summer sea ice in the Arctic has been steadily shrinking over the past few decades because of global warming. It reached its second-smallest level on record in 2019, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said.
Sea ice affects Arctic communities and wildlife such as polar bears and walruses (海象), and it helps regulate the planet's temperature by influencing the circulation of the atmosphere and ocean.
"The extent of Arctic ice is important to Arctic people, whose lands are being affected by increased coastal erosion (侵蚀)" NOAA said in a statement. "Conversely, the disappearance of ice creates economic opportunities, including the opening of oil fields and new shipping routes." It also affects global weather patterns.
The study was conducted by scientists at NOAA, the University of Washington, and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies.
What scientists refer to as the first "ice-free" Arctic summer year will occur when the Arctic has less than 1 million square kilometers of sea ice. The thick ice sheets surrounding Canada's Arctic islands are likely to remain for much longer, even in summer.
As the climate changes, the Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Arctic air temperatures were about 3. 4 degrees above average in 2019. and were the second-warmest since records began in 1900.
Scientists also said the results of the study indicate that there is room for improvement in sea-ice models—and that the ice may disappear even more quickly than current models suggest.
"Climate models may be collectively underestimating the rate of change," the authors write in the study.
【1】How did the researchers get the study results?
A.By what the arctic people said.
B.By statistic models.
C.By Watching from the universe.
D.By the video taken from the Arctic sea.
【2】Why is the amount of summer sea ice becoming smaller over the past years?
A.Because the sea water becomes more salty.
B.Because people are opening oil fields there.
C.Because too many people are visiting the area.
D.Because it is becoming warmer globally.
【3】The records of the amount of sea ice began years ago.
A.10
B.15
C.20
D.30
【4】What does the underlined word "refreeze" in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?
A.再融化
B.重新崛起
C.再扩大
D.重新结冰
【5】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The disappearance of the sea ice brings no good to the world.
B.There will be more polar bears and walruses because of the ice-free climate.
C."Ice-free" doesn't mean that there is no ice at all in the Arctic area.
D.The Arctic is warming as quickly as the whole earth.
29、Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
The effect of the celebrity role models,who have given cooking a more manly picture,has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny,who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said. “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”
Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes — a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons(围裙) as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay,Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table — with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat — as I did when I was a child — at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”
【1】What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?
A.The improvement of cooks’ status.
B.The influence of popular female chefs.
C.The change of female’ s view on cooking.
D.The development of sexual equality campaign.
【2】What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?
A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.
B.Women spend much less time on cooking than before.
C.It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.
D.There is a sharp fall in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.
【3】How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?
A.It has become a thing of the past.
B.It is very different from what it used to be.
C.It shouldn’t be advised in modern times.
D.It is beneficial to the stability(稳定) of the family.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.The Changes of Family Meals
B.Equality between Men and Women
C.Cooking into a New Trend for Men
D.Cooking — a Thing of the Past for Women

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.
“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”
Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

That night, after a couple of restless hours, Dora woke up suddenly at midnight. She went to her bathroom. Stepping on the carpet she noticed it was damp. Looking out, she found that muddy water was inching up the wood-paneled walls! She ran to her father’s bedside. “Daddy, Daddy,” she cried, shaking him violently. “Wake up. There’s water in the house!”
Barefoot and wearing only shorts, Dykstra walked to the entrance and opened the door. What he saw shook him wide-awake. Duchess, their dog, was standing just outside the door, her feet in six inches of water. That meant the roadway, their only means of escape, was flooded. He hid his anxiety. They climbed up the ladder-like stairs to a loft (阁楼) above the living room. From there they could hear the water filling the room below, creeping (缓慢地行进) toward them. Suddenly the whole house trembled as if struck by an earthquake. The next instant they found themselves floating, and the wooden house being swept along the river! Terrified that the cabin would sink and take them down with it, Dykstra decided that they would have to get out. Wrapping his arms tightly round his daughter, he plunged (猛冲) into the icy water.
The house was behind them now, chasing them through the darkness. Before he could get out of its path, the house – pushed by the tremendous (巨大的) power of the water – pinned him at the trunk. His ribs (肋骨) were crushed. His left leg was broken. He lost consciousness. Then the house shifted, releasing him. Dora found herself drifting downstream, her unconscious father beside her. “Don’t die, Daddy!” she cried. “Please!”
Perhaps it was the cry of the little girl that stirred Dykstra to consciousness. In the pale moonlight, Dykstra spotted an island formed by some rubbish that had got caught in some treetops. Fighting against the current and his pain, he swam toward it. Dora climbed onto the small pile of timbers (木材) and pulled her father, who was fighting for breath, from the rushing water onto the timbers. Now, Dora realized, it was up to her to help him.

On December 16, 2008, Randy Heiss was hiking in Patagonis, a town near the US-Mexico border when he noticed there was a red balloon. He walked towards it, and found the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss turned the paper over. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish.
Heiss suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned his letters, but he wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this one. It would be difficult, but Heiss had a few clues. About 20 miles to the southwest, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. Based on the blowing wind, he was pretty sure that’s where it came from.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They found that Dayami had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and art supplies. Heiss then posted about his search on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family, but with no success. Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2008, he sent a private message to Radio XENY, a radio station in Nogales.
The next morning, Heiss got a message from Radio XENY: They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl whose parents were killed in a car accident. They would arrange a get-together with Dayami at the radio station. So they bought just about everything on Dayami’s list.
Paragraph 1:
Then the Heisses drove for 45 minutes, crossing the border into Nogales.

Paragraph 2:
Ten years later, Heisses received a phone call from Dayami.
