A job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self worth,” 56 year old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员).
Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated. It was extremely difficult for her to find another job. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why
“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old; what are you working for ’ I was very unhappy.” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. The urge to work drove her to suffering. Then, one of Ms Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.
“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy. So I thought why not give it a try.” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict: she was caught between honour and employment. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she took heart and went off to work as a courier.
Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her, “Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Currently, Mr. Chong has 60 couriers working for his company: five of them are over fifty, four of whom have been through the ERB plan. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than the youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.” he said. “It is not easy to recruit young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”
41.Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job
A.Nursing clinics were hard to find.
B.People thought that old people couldn’t be trusted.
C.People thought she was too old to take on a new job.
D.People didn’t think she had enough working experience.
42.Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because _______.
A.the other staff made her feel uncomfortable
B.it was too difficult
C.she was too old to do the job
D.she was bored with changeless jobs
43.Employee’s Retraining Board is a plan for _______.
A.finding jobs for older people
B.teaching new skills to older people
C.training older people to be couriers
D.providing older people with something to do in their spare time
44.According to Anthony Chong, young people _______.
A.are able and reliable
B.are more likely to give up than the older ones
C.are fitter and stronger than the older ones
D.are less experienced than the older ones
45.From the text, we can learn Ms Cheng is _______.
A.capable but stubborn B.purposeful but lazy
C.determined and responsible D.intelligent and confident
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
46.You need to build a positive self-image when you___________.
A.dare to challenge yourself B.feel it hard to change yourself
C.are unconfident about yourself D.have a high opinion of yourself
47.According to the passage, our self-images___________.
A.have positive effects B.are probably untrue
C.are often changeable D.have different functions
48.How should you change your self-image according to the passage
A.To keep a different image of others. B.To make your life successful.
C.To understand your own world. D.To change the way you think.
49.What is the passage mainly about
A.How to prepare for your success. B.How to face challenges in your life.
C.How to build a positive self-image. D.How to develop your good qualities.
50.Who are the intended readers of the passage
A.Parents. B.Adolescents. C.Educators. D.People in general.
Calories are a way of keeping track of the body's energy budget. A healthy balance occurs when we put in about as much energy as we lose. If we consistently put more energy into our bodies than we bum, the excess will gradually be stored as fat in our cells, and well gain weight. If we bum off more energy than we replenish, well lose weight. But how many calories do we actually need Calorie is just the unit we use to measure the energy we take in or bum.
Calories are used in three ways: about 10% enables digestion, about 20% fuels physical activity, and the biggest part, around 70%, supports the basic functions of our organs. That third usage corresponds to your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率), a number of calories you would need to survive if you weren't eating or moving around.
According to the official guidelines, average person requires each day 2000 calories for women and 2500 for men. Those estimates are based on factors like average weight, physical activity and muscle mass. So does that mean everyone should take in around 2000 calories Not necessarily. If you're doing an energy consuming activity, like cycling the Tour de France, your body could use up to 9000 calories per day Pregnancy requires slightly more calories than usual, and elderly people typically have a slower metabolic rate, energy is burned more gradually, so less is needed.
And one thing you should also know. The calorie counts on nutrition labels measure how much energy the food contains, not how much energy you can actually get out of it, Fibrous (纤维的) foods like celery and whole wheat take more energy to digest, so you'd actually absorb less energy from 100 calorie serving of celery than a 100 calorie serving of potato chips. Not to mention the fact that some foods offer nutrients like protein and vitamins, while others provide far less nutritional value. Eating too many of those foods could leave you overweight and malnourished. And even with the exact same food, different people might not get the same number of calories.
So a calorie is a useful energy measure, but to work out exactly how many of them each of us requires, we need to factor in things like exercise, food type, and our body's ability to process energy.
51.What is Calorie according to the passage
A.A unit of measurement to the energy people get or consume.
B.The food people eat and digest.
C.The unit for people to count weight.
D.The way people to measure nutrition.
52.One can lose weight, if________.
A.less food is eaten than before B.doing exercise every day
C.more energy is fueled than taken in D.one keeps energy balanced
53.Which fact is true according to the passage
A.The excess of calories will gradually turn into cells.
B.Most of the calories will help people with digestion.
C.When staying still no calorie will be needed.
D.The biggest amount of energy will go to support body organs.
54.The author may agree that________.
A.potato chips are hard to digest
B.the food with more fibers can help keeping slim
C.the foods with protein and vitamins could leave you overweight and malnourished
D.old people's energy is gradually burning fast
55.The best title of this passage should be
A.Calories and Diet
B.Many Factors Contribute to Calorie Count
C.The Relevancy between Calorie Burning and Age
D.Different People, Different Calorie Burning Rate
阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
Dogs are often known as man’s best friend—but in one beautiful instance, a man ended up being a best friend to a group of pets in need after a dangerous situation nearly became tragic (悲惨的).
Keith Walker, an Atlanta-based homeless man, could have run in the other direction when he saw local animal shelter W-Underdogs on fire. But he ran towards the fire instead and saved all the animals caught inside, though he was in great danger himself.
“I was nervous; I’m not going to lie. I was really scared to go in there with all that smoke. But my heart put me there to save those animals,” Walker said.
“If you love a dog, you can love anyone in the world. My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn’t be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs.”
The shelter is currently greatly wrecked by the fire and it couldn’t safely inhabit the dogs, says founder Gracie Hamlin, so all the animals have been safely moved to another shelter.
“He is my guardian angel,” Hamlin said. “Even the firefighters didn’t want to deal with the dogs. They called animal control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe.”
Hamlin and Walker had already known each other because Walker, who has been homeless since he was 13, keeps his own dog, a pitbull (斗牛犬) named Bravo, at the shelter every night.
In fact, Walker came across the fire when he was on his way to pick up Bravo to take him for a walk. And that was how he was able to rescue all the animals—6 dogs and 10 cats.
Before you look down on homeless persons, remember that they are people just like you—and some of them are great, like Keith Walker.
56.What did Walker do when he found the animal shelter on fire (no more than 12 words)
57.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 probably mean (1 word)

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍卡路里是衡量人们获得或消耗能量的单位,但是卡路里计数要考虑运动、食物类型和我们身体处理能量的能力等因素。
【解析】51.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Calories are a way of keeping track of the body's energy budget.(卡路里是记录身体能量收支的一种方式)”可知,卡路里是衡量人们获得或消耗能量的单位。故选A。

54.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The calorie counts on nutrition labels measure how much energy the food contains, not how much energy you can actually get out of it, Fibrous (纤维的) foods like celery and whole wheat take more energy to digest, so you'd actually absorb less energy from 100 calorie serving of celery than a 100 calorie serving of potato chips. (营养标签上的卡路里计数测量食物含有多少能量,不是你可以获得多少能量,纤维食物,如芹菜和全麦需要更多的能量来消化,所以你实际上从100卡路里的吸收更少的能量芹菜100卡路里的薯片)”可推断,含有更多纤维的食物有助于保持苗条。故选B。
55.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“So a calorie is a useful energy measure, but to work out exactly how many of them each of us requires, we need to factor in things like exercise, food type, and our body's ability to process energy. (所以卡路里是一种有用的能量测量方法,但要算出我们每个人到底需要多少卡路里,我们需要把运动、食物类型和我们身体处理能量的能力等因素考虑进去)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍卡路里是衡量人们获得或消耗能量的单位,但是卡路里计数要考虑运动、食物类型和我们身体处理能量的能力等因素。由此可知,“Many Factors Contribute to Calorie Count.(很多因素都会影响卡路里计数)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
【答案】56.He ran towards the fire and saved all the animals caught inside. Or: He ran into the fire to save all the animals in it. 57.Damaged / Destroyed. 58.To pick up Bravo to take him for a walk. 59.Brave/ Good-hearted/Loving/ Kind. 60.Animals are our best friends, and we should protect them against hurt. Or: Keith Walker is a hero who risked his life to save animals. Or: Don’t look down upon homeless people, because they can also make a great difference.
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了流浪者Keith Walker在动物收容所外看到起火时,冲进去把里面被困的动物都救了出来。
【解析】56.考查细节理解。根据第二段“Keith Walker, an Atlanta-based homeless man, could have run in the other direction when he saw local animal shelter W-Underdogs on fire. But he ran towards the fire instead and saved all the animals caught inside, though he was in great danger himself.(Keith Walker是亚特兰大的一名流浪汉,当他看到当地的动物收容所W-Underdogs着火时,他本可以跑向另一个方向。但是他却跑向火灾现场,救了所有被困在火里的动物,尽管他自己也很危险)”可知,在发现着火时,Walker没有逃跑,而是跑向火灾那里,去救出了被困动物。故答案为He ran towards the fire and saved all the animals caught inside. Or: He ran into the fire to save all the animals in it.
57.考查词义猜测。根据划线词所在句子“The shelter is currently greatly wrecked by the fire and it couldn’t safely inhabit the dogs, says founder Gracie Hamlin, so all the animals have been safely moved to another shelter.(该收容所的创始人格雷西·哈姆林说,目前该收容所被大火严重wrecked,无法让狗狗安全地居住,所以所有的动物都已被安全转移到另一个收容所)”可知,动物们目前已经转移到另一个收容所,可知原来的收容所因大火的缘故已经不能居住,应该是屋舍被损坏。故答案为Damaged / Destroyed.
58.考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“Hamlin and Walker had already known each other because Walker, who has been homeless since he was 13, keeps his own dog, a pitbull (斗牛犬) named Bravo, at the shelter every night. (哈姆林和沃克已经认识了,因为沃克从13岁起就无家可归,他每天晚上都在收容所养自己的狗,一只名叫布拉沃的斗牛犬)”和倒数第二段“In fact, Walker came across the fire when he was on his way to pick up Bravo to take him for a walk. (事实上,沃克是在去接布拉沃去散步的路上遇到火灾的)”可知,沃克自己养了一只狗,他自己无家可归,所以他的狗也只能住在收容所,他每天都去接他出来散步,这天他是去接他的狗散步的时候发现收容所起火了。故答案为To pick up Bravo to take him for a walk.
59.考查推理判断。根据第二段“But he ran towards the fire instead and saved all the animals caught inside, though he was in great danger himself.(但是他却跑向火灾现场,救了所有被困在火里的动物,尽管他自己也很危险)”可知,他知道自己有危险还冲进火场救小动物们,Walker是勇敢的,有爱心的。故答案为Brave/ Good-hearted/Loving/ Kind.
60.考查推理判断。纵观全文,Walker冒生命危险去救小动物,我们很受启示,动物是人类的朋友,我们人类要保护他们;Walker虽然身无分文,无家可归,可是他冒生命危险去救那些动物,真是个英雄人物,令人敬佩;不要看不起无家可归的人,因为他们也能带来巨大的改变。故答案为Animals are our best friends, and we should protect them against hurt. Or: Keith Walker is a hero who risked his life to save animals. Or: Don’t look down upon homeless people, because they can also make a great difference.
