What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.
But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?
76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.
Even if you don’t have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It’s a valuable skill.
But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents’ income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41%
believed that they had achieved their own success.
So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.
24.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?
A. Practice makes perfect B. Nothing is impossible
C. Hope for the best D. No pains, no gains
25.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. 76% of the people think social relationship is most important.
B. 41% of the people believe parents’ income is most important.
C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.
D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.
26.From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to _____.
A. stress the importance of education
B. challenge the traditional belief
C. make lots of social connections
D. encourage people to work hard
27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Way to Success B. Keep Your Dream in Mind
C. A Wealthy and Smooth Career D. A Survey on People’s Dreams
C
Long before iPhone, the cigarette was the companion of choice for restlessness. And long before Facebook and WeChat, it was tobacco that promised to better your social life. Now, quitting smartphones has become the new quitting smoking.
Of course, technology does not yellow your teeth, cause disease or lead to cancer. But some individuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging their mental health. In order to reduce their dependence, even in Silicon Valley, people are turning off the messages that constantly buzz for their attention, banning smartphones from the bedroom and, curiously, changing the colors on their screens to a less tempting scale of gra
y.
The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new generation of quitters. Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt, hoping its recent move can make the social network more homely.
Last year the tech industry got a bad name ---Big Tech---with unfortunate echoes of other industries that have faced fierce opposition, including Big Tobacco. Like them, the tech industry has to reduce concern from a new generation of activist shareholders (股东) that are questioning its role in the world. These campaigns are never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco. In the 1990s, socially responsible investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks.
It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good these companies do in the world-connecting old friends and giving space for people to share their ideas-from the bad. In the meantime, stopping using technology remains problematic. In The World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, Franklin Foer argues that tech should be seen in a similar way to junk food: a convenience that some reject for more continuing nutrition.
So we need to do more to turn the tide. In the same way that public service announcements made smoking around your children taboo (禁忌), we can warn parents against losing themselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids. We can also create no-smartphone zones at dinner. Eventually smartphones could be banned from all public places and help us give our attention to the people around us instead.
28.How did people keep close relationships with others in the past? ______
A. By smoking. B. By drinking. C. By phoning D. By dining out.
29.Why is the tech industry called Big Tech? ______
A. It plays a bad role in the world. B. It is as big as Big Tobacco.
C. It has an unfortunate name. D. It is a giant in Silicon Valley.
30.Which can be the best title for the passage? ______
A. Creating a No Smartphone Life
B. Smartphones Enrich Our Social Life
C. Smoking Does Greater Harm Than Smartphones Do
D. Quitting Smartphones Is the New Quitting Smoking

For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. 31 It develops children's language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and, later, work.
A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves. They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿). 32
The company Scholastic is a major U.S. publisher of children's books. Every two years, Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits. The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U.S. read a book for fun almost every day.
33 One is simply to have books in the home. Elizabeth Lyttleton, the mother of three, is lucky. Her mother once wrote and illustrated children's books, so the family always have plenty to read. She says all her children learn from books—but in different ways. 34 Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80% of children surveyed—of all ages—say they love being read to. And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.
35 Of all the 6 to17-year-old in the Scholastic study, more than 90% said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.
A. The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.
B. Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.
C. A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.
D. For young children, parents should ask questions about the book.
E. Do children still read for fun?
F. Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.
G. But reading to children does more than create warm memories.

It was a warm and sunny morning at the Central Park Zoo. Mary and her classmates were chatting noisily with excitement as their school bus entered the zoo parking lot. Today, Mary’s class was going on a field trip to the zoo to learn more about the animals and their natural habitats.
“Before you leave the bus, please make sure you have your partner!” Mrs. Brown announced. To make sure no one got lost in the zoo, each student had a companion. Mary’s companion was named John. John loves animals and was also excited to go to the zoo. But sometimes, John does not follow the rules and gets in trouble. Mary hoped that today, John would follow the rules so they would not get in trouble.
While the rest of the students got off the bus, Mary and John quickly ran off to explore. They found the exhibits for many different kinds of animals and learned
a lot about their natural habitats. They saw the elephants playing and they saw giraffes eating. They saw the polar bears sleeping and the monkeys leaping. Mary asked John:
“John, what is your favorite animal?”
“I think I like chimpanzees best. They have a lot of energy, just like me! What animal do you like, Mary?”
“I love polar bears! I think their lifestyle in the Arctic is very interesting.”
A few hours later, Mary and John started to feel hungry. They made their way back to the zoo entrance to eat lunch at the Rainforest Café. The Rain forest Café is both Mary and John’s favorite restaurant because there is an aquarium inside. The restaurant is also famous for its chocolate cake, which Mary ordered for dessert after they had finished their lunch.
As Mary was finishing her cake, John excused himself to go to the restroom. About ten minutes later, an alarm suddenly began to go off and a voice came over the loud speaker, “Attention! Someone has opened the chimpanzee exhibit! Some chimpanzees have escaped!”
People were screaming and starting to run. Mary looked for John, but he was nowhere to be found.

Dear David,
I’m writing to invite you to the lecture on “Confucius and Confucianism”, which will be delivered by Professor Wang from Beijing University. It will be held in Room 102 on the first floor of No.3 building on June 9th this Saturday. As far as I know, you’re quite enthusiastic about the Confucian culture of China, so you will develop a profound passion for it.
The lecture will last three hours from 8 a.m to 11 a.m. The activity mainly consists of three parts, two-hour listening to the lecture, half an hour’s discussion and thirty-minute Confucius classics recitation.
I will be very glad if you come. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文
As more and more people ran out of the zoo,Mary began to think where John could be. With a mixture of fear and anxiety,Mary started leaving the restaurant to search for her partner. As she looked around the zoo grounds,it occurred to her that John had told her that chimpanzees were his favorite animals. John wouldn’t have left the restaurant to release the chimpanzees,would he? Oh no! Mary was sure she knew
where John had gone.
As Mary raced up the path to the animal exhibits,she stopped because she saw John with two chimpanzees held in his arms. He offered a small,guilty smile. “I didn’t mean to let them escape,”he said. “I just wanted to set them free so that they could play outside for a little while!”he continued with excitement .“I took the key from a zoo keeper who wasn’t looking. But then,the exhibit lock broke and...”Behind Mary,Mrs. Brown had begun to walk up the path and saw John holding the animals. It was clear from her serious expression that he was in big trouble.
