I was lucky enough to have a chance to study in the United States as an international student from Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school, West Catholic High School, for my freshman year.
I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I
almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.
And the moment the word “international” flew out of my mouth, I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?” “Do you have McDonald’s? Does it taste the same?” and “Say something in your language”. It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.
During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”
One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally, my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown (长袍) and waving at the crowd. What? People do have a wild imagination!
During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.
25. Why was the author afraid on the first day of school?
A. Because she was eager to talk with others.
B. Because she could not communicate with others well.
C. Because she was not good at the subjects in this school.
D. Because she couldn’t learn a new language without a teacher’s help.
26. What happened when the word “international” flew out of the author’s mouth?
A. Her classmates played a joke on her.
B. Her classmates showed interest in her country.
C. Her classmates were eager to make friends with her.
D. Her classmates tried to know less about the author’s hometown.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. The author was a princess from Ukraine.
B. The author couldn’t adapt to the school environment later.
C. The author got lots of benefits through studying abroad.
D. The author always told her classmates about her cultural background.
C
At any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal breaker. Negotiating an attractive deal,
however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary skills or simply because they’re so concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job.
These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesn’t mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get. Needless to say, if money isn’t a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you’re accepting is fair compared to what’s offered in the market. Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.
Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money.
Negotiate too early. Timing is of importance in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly. Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make. The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you’ve been selected for the position.
Abandon professionalism. It’s common that people, after going through a long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t abandon your professional attitude or throw a fit. This likely will get you nowhere except the door.
There’re two options to this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible (不灵活的) about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.
The second option is that there’s some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization. If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary. Still, if this is not acceptable, you don’t have to take it.
28. What is the most difficult for most jobseekers according to Para.1?
A. Being too difficult to handle the money. B. Not having got certain skills.
C. The first necessary step. D. Lacking a good chance to get a job.
29. What does the underlined part “throw a fit” in Para.5 mean?
A. Get angry. B. Get excited. C. Become sorrowful. D. Be inspired.
30. What should you do if you are offered an unsatisfactory salary?
A. Ask for a higher salary.
B. Immediately give up the job.
C. Just calm down and figure out the situation.
D. Try to prove you are the best candidate for the job.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To offer tips on salary negotiation.
B. To tell common mistakes in our daily work.
C. To help people perform well in job interviews.
D. To help employees get along well with their employers.
D
In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.
32. What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?
A. Swimming in white water. B. Living in cold winter.
C. Lying on the warm beds. D. Discharging lots of sweat.
33. What can we know from the text?
A. There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.
B. Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.
C. Using water of about 45oC to wash the body is good for the health.
D. People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.
34. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?
A. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.
B. It successfully cured many people of cancer.
C. It is popular with people because of its excellent effects.
D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. How to live comfortably in summer
B. A healthy and comfortable lifestyle
C. The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapy
D. The origin and development of the hot-stone therapy

Some people choose to grasp on to the past and play it over and over like a broken record. 36 Those with no regrets let go of the past and live joyfully at present. They also live by the following principles.
1. Following your unique path leads to greater fulfillment.
We all have passions and inner guidance. If you follow your passions and inner guidance, your life will take on deeper meaning and fulfillment. 37
2. Let your passions guide you, not societal pressures.
We all know the feeling of being passionate about something. 38 But too often we allow societal pressures to control our feeling. To check whether your passions are guiding your life, start doing what you want to.
3. 39
We often think we will be happy once we get that job, or finish that course. The truth is that happiness comes from within. Everything outside of you is temporary. Once it goes, so will your happiness.
4. Don’t think twice about expressing love and appreciation.
We support others by our words and actions, while receiving others’ support and love back. Expressing heartfelt feelings allows us to have no regrets for whatever tomorrow may bring. 40
A. It guides what we are doing.
B. Understanding happiness is a choice.
C. Don’t settle for less than what you want.
D. They, in turn, live with regret, anger, and fear.
E. What is right for one person may not be right for another.
F. Try living according to what your inner knowing guides you to do.
G. It may also be exactly what others need to face their current challenges.

Dear David,
How is everything going? I can still remember the days we spent together when you taught in China. When you went back to America last month, you mentioned that you wanted to get a Chinese name stamp made for you, as it is a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. Now I’m so glad to tell you
that I’ve already found a stamp craftsman who’s experienced and skilled at making Chinese traditional name stamps.
To make a stamp that suits you best, I attach some pictures of various types of characters, designs and materials in the email. You can choose whichever of them you prefer.
Looking forward to your reply. Best wishes.
Yours
LiHua
