The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a
hand-written application letter．However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to
apply for a job through the Internet．You can find information on the Internet about how to apply
for jobs．Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you
should wear and how to carry out the interview itself．
The importance of body language is often mentioned ， but doesn’t always get the attention it
deserves．After all，before a word has even been spoken，your body language will have already
given people their first impression of you．Additionally, your body language will also give out a
lot more information．Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident．It can
also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are
speaking truthfully or not．Body language can show how ent husiastic you are and if you are a nice
person．someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor
and can enjoy a joke from time to time．The members of the application committee will ask you
questions，but your answers won’t only be oral．The committee will not only pay attention to what
you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it ‘clicks’ ， and
sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds．Everybody uses body language，but it takes place
mostly at a subconscious（下意识的） level ．Using body language appropriately, you can
definitely increase your chances of getting a job．
21.What kind of people is the text mainly meant for?

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of
technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games
are leading to serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild
places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on
child’s play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last
generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not
grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in park use continues across North
America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last
Child in the woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge
enrichment to their lives. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their
parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part o f it; research suggests that kids do
better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）
leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest, Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder
in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A
clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that
more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time
to time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪
式）of passage.
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids
some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen
love, respect and need for the landscapes. As parents, we should devote some of our energy to
taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
25. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will______
A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over-protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
D．change wild places and creatures for the better
26.According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is_____
A．the fault on the part of their parents
B．the natural experience in their growing up
C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
27.In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to______
A．blame children for getting lost in computer games
B．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around
C
I am trying to muster ( 鼓 起 ) the courage to toss_away my mobile phone to enjoy a more
peaceful and ring-free life.
Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high-tech, in-a-hurry age, a cell-free
life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many
people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my
cell-phone, people would think I was mad.
I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home
phone, an e-mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I'm out, people can leave a
message. Do they really need to find me 24/7?However, I'm a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of
the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can't let it go.
Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all
contacts and many of us don't write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our
music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do
misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.
"Where have you been?" said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cell-phone, "I tried
calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth." See, when you don't
have a mobile phone, you don't exist.
I'm not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social
animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I've decided not to serve my mobile phone.
Like all machines, I can always turn it off.
28. What does the underlined phrase "toss away" mean?
A. give away
B. get away
C. break away
D. throw away
29. The writer mentions Frodo to________.
A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone
B. show how much he likes Frodo
C. suggest a cell-free life is what he wants
D. introduce a film ch aracter to us
30. What do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?
A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.
B. Mobile phones have become very important in our life.
C. We could not live without mobile phones.
D. We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.
B. When you don't have a mobile phone, you don't exist.
C. The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.
D. We humans can control ourselves and machines.
D
The world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to
keep up.
Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young children are often said to be better at
language learning than older learners but they also have special chal lenges. Young children don’t
usually have the kind of instrumental motivation and determination for learning English that older
learners often have. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding.
The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Globalization is bringing together more
people than ever who speak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of
communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly
like a native speaker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural
communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of
the “New Englishes” now used around the world.
Technology will allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to
learn English.
Learning English has always involved both pain an d pleasure, private effort and social activity.
Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future
learners will be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psychological dispositions(性
情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather than their teachers, will decide how,
what and when they will learn.
Above all, learning English is about communication and an important benefit of learning English
is being able to exchange views and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the
growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.
32. Compared to older learners, young English learners .
A. are more active in learning
B. are more hard-working in learning
C. have more difficulties in learning
D. have less lasting determination in learning
33. What can we learn about the future English language?
A. British English will be more popular.
B. American English will be more popular.
C. Most people w ill speak standard English.
D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.
B. Old people won’t have to learn English in the future.
C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.
D. Teachers will play a more important role in one’s English learning.
35. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Learning English means no pain in the future.
B. English training schools will not be popular with young people in the future.
C. English learners will become less independent in the future.
D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English learning in the future.

efforts immediately on overcoming it, because it will make your restless mind at ease and build
your self-confidence.
4. Be positive.

progress, and your bright future. 40

town in Florida and California have already run particularly lessons for babies. The idea has
quickly spread to Europe which, in several countries, special courses were now offered to children
