In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a "brain." I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.
But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I gaped（目瞪口呆地凝视）at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I mumbled something and fled the office, blaming my self for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students.
I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the podium without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of — I spoke in front of hundreds of people.
Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college, to give verbal reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation — or ever. But I’m glad I did . I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I dread. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.

Dubai（迪拜）is one of the economically richest places in the world. With its numerous malls, hotels, and beautiful beaches, Dubai has always been a popular holiday destination. This city was visited by around 5 million tourists each year. The government wanted to increase this number to 15 million. However, Dubai has only 45 miles of coastline, which is nowhere enough for so many people. To solve this problem, an island that looked like a palm tree was built in 2006, and named the Palm Jumeirah.
The plan for the island was extraordinary. It was to host several hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, and homes. Although the initial plan was to build the island from concrete（水泥）, a decision was taken to create it from sand and gravel（砾石）, so as to give it a natural look.
To make sure that this project was a success, the best engineers from across the world were employed. Engineers from Holland formed the majority in this group. To begin with, the engineers calculated the strength of storms at sea, and also the expected amount of rise in water levels due to global warming. And then they found that, the proposed location for the island was neither very wide nor deep.
One of the difficulties the engineers came across was to put sand on the sea bed to create the breakwater（防浪堤）.Finding the right sand for the project was also a daunting task, as the sand from Dubai’s deserts was too fine. Instead, sand from the sea was used, as it was coarser（粗糙）. Once the breakwater was built, construction of the island began.
The Palm Island are really impressive in terms of engineering. However, these projects are so large that they may have changed the ecology of the region. Also, an immense amount of money and resources go into maintaining the islands, which is a major concern at the moment. Only time will tell if building the Palm Islands was actually a good decision.
8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly show us?
A, Beautiful attractions of Dubai,
B. The geographical features of Dubai.
C. The purposes of building the Palm Jumeirah,
D. The difficulty in developing the tourism industry.
9. Why were some changes made to the initial plan for the project?
A. To reduce the building cost.
B. To get the islands completed sooner.
C. To get the building materials more easily.
D. To make the island look more natural,
10. What does the underlined word"daunting" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. meaningless
B. difficult
C. Impassible
D. necessary
11. According to the last paragraph, how is the construction of the Palm Islands?
A. Profitable.
B. Surprising.
C. Worrying.
D. Unbelievable.
D
Before the statue of Liberty was completed and shipped to the United States for assembly（组装）, a campaign was organized to raise funds to build the base on Bedloe’s Island for the enormous statue. Donations were very slow in coming, and in the early 1880s it appeared that the statue may never actually be assembled in New York. There were even rumors that another city, perhaps Boston, may end up with the statue.
One of the fundraisers was to be an art show. And the poet Emma Lazarus, who was respected in the artistic community in New York City, was asked to write a poem that could be auction（拍卖）to raise funds for the base.
Emma Lazarus was a native New Yorker, the daughter of a wealthy Jewish family with roots going back several generations in New York City. Yet she had become very concerned about the suffering of Jewish refugees（难民）in Russia. Lazarus was involved with organizations offering assistance to Jewish refugees who had arrived in America and would need help getting a start in a new country. She was knows to visit Ward’s Island, where newly arrived Jewish refugees from Russia were housed.
The writer Constance Cary Harrison asked Lazarus, who was 34 at the time, to write a poem to help raise money for the Statue of Liberty base fund, Lazarus, at first, was not interested in writing something on assignment.
Harrison later recalled that she encouraged Lazarus to change her mind by saying, "Think of that gooddess standing on her base down there in the bay , and holding her torch out to those Russian Refugees of yours that you are so fond of visiting at Ward’s Island."
Lazarus reconsidered, and wrote the sonnet"The New Colossus". Thus in the mind of Lazarus the statue was not symbolic of liberty flowing outward from America, as Bartholdi, the sculptor who created the enormous statue, expected, but rather a symbol of America being a refuge where those oppressed could come to live in liberty.
12. What was the purpose of raising funds in New York?
A. To buy the Statue of Liberty,
B. To transport the Statue of Liberty.
C. To put together the Statue of Liberty.
D. To build the base of the Statue of Liberty.
13. What can we learn about Lazarus?
A. She was born in Russia.
B. She did a lot in helping Jewish refugees.
C. She hated the Statue of Liberty at first,
D. She moved to America with her parents.
14. Why was Lazarus unwilling to write the poem?
A. Because it would be auctioned.
B. Because she wasn't in New York then,
C. Because it was an assignment in her view.
D. Because she was occupied with work in Russia.
15. Bartholdi meant the Statue of Liberty to be a symbol of .
A. freedom
B. shelter
C. wealth
D. power

How to interview for your dream job
Here are some tips for getting your foot in the door and then maximizing your chance of getting that dream job.
Do some homework first.
Google the company and find out as much as you can about their mission. 16 try to relate the position you’re interviewing for to these overall corporate goals.
17
Look the interviewer in the eye when you meet him/her. This shows confidence, indicating smartly to the interviewer that you feel as though you belong in the room.

18 Try to relate your assets（资产）to the overall mission of the company. The stronger connection you can make, the better.
Close positively.
Whenever an interviewer leaves you, shake their hand and thank them for their time. Look them firmly in the eye again. 19
Write a thank-you email.
20 The next time you’re at your computer, fire off an email to each person you interviewed with thanking them for their time. Mention that you’re excited by the prospect of working for the organization and how you think it’s a great fit.
A. Greet appropriately.
B. Mind your language.
C. Read a recent annual report of the company.
D. This leaves them with a positive impression of you.
E. Send an email thank you as soon as you can after the interview.
