In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 36 Here is how to make one. ‎ ‎● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.‎ ‎● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer. ‎ ‎● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating（补偿） on the weekends actually causes your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39 ‎ ‎● Keep a record and evaluate(评估) it weekly.

Your career is the sum of your life and work. It includes all your activities and experiences. Your schooling, your volunteer work, and even your relationships with your family are all big parts of your career. 37 ‎ During your career, you will have a variety of jobs, occupations and roles. People used to think of a job as full-time, permanent, paid work done for an employer at a work site. But in our changing world, a job is a set of duties or tasks. It can be paid or unpaid. 38 Even someone who is self-employed has a job.‎ An occupation is a group of jobs with similar responsibilities that require a common set of skills. 39 Programmers may have permanent or temporary jobs working for specific employers, be self-employed, work full-time or part-time, be paid for their work or volunteer their services. They may change jobs or hold several jobs at one time but, until they change the type of duties or tasks they perform, they are still computer programmers.‎ ‎ 40 We all play a number of roles in our lives and our roles often change over time. For example, Kris works four days a week as a receptionist in a clinic and takes evening courses in social work. She also sews gymnastic wear for her neighbor who sells it at summer markets. Now Kris has at least three roles. ‎ A. A role is a part you play. ‎ B. Actually everyone has a career.‎ C. In other words, your career is your life story. ‎ D. For example, computer programmer is an occupation.‎ E. As a matter of fact, a job is different from a role in some way. F. It can be completed at a work site, at home, or somewhere else. G. The following is about your work, your family, and your life story.‎ 答案：36. B 37. C 38. F 39. D 40. A ‎[四]　‎ The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and pours orange juice all over her. After the bump, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.” ‎ ‎ 36 . If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the bump were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US. ‎ A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” 37 . ‎ Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”. ‎ ‎ 38 . Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2017 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”. ‎ ‎ 39 . Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. ‎ ‎ 40 . For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”. True manners are about being considerate and the modern day hobby with apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.‎ A. Why are Britons so sorry?‎ B. British people are sincere while saying sorry.‎ C. How we use “sorry” has changed.‎ D. Saying sorry when necessary is a good manner.‎ E. This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.‎ F. Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation (冲突).‎ G. His actions in this scene are very British.‎ 答案：36—40 GECAF ‎[五]‎ Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? ___16___‎ ‎ You know that there’s always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. ___17___‎ ‎ To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.‎ ‎ ___18___ The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy high-quality fresh food regularly.‎ ‎ ___19___ If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food, they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.‎ ‎ In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. ___20___‎ ‎ So, if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else? You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.‎ A. Cooking skills may be another factor.‎ B. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.‎ C. Living with a roommate could be a good thing because a roommate can share your expenses and contribute to your home’s maintenance.‎ D. For example, we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.‎ E. What could explain these findings?‎ F. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t grate on your nerves, has a similar cleanliness level as you and goes to bed at the same time.‎ G. However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.‎ 答案：16-20 G D E A B ‎[六]‎ Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.‎ ‎  36 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.来源:学 For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They ‎ speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.   37 ‎ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.‎ ‎  38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “  39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”‎ Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.   40 ‎ A. Anger may cause you a cancer.‎ B. Do not express your anger while angry.‎ C. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.‎ D. In general the person feels excited and ready to act E. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.‎ F. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.‎ G. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it ‎ 参考答案：36-40 EDFBC ‎[七]‎ Nowadays more and more Chinese parents invest large sums of money to send their children to study abroad.

Chinese students have got accustomed to the domestic exam-oriented education style. They will face changes in ‎ the educational system while studying abroad. ___37___‎ ‎● Be willing to communicate.

Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on. ‎ ‎ 36 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter. 1. Get Out of Bed Earlier If you normally get up at 7; 30 a. m., try getting up at 7:00 a. m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. 37 2. Do the Important Tasks First Once you get to work, get the important ones done first（not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.‎ ‎ 38 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones. 3. Reduce Interruptions If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration. When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 39 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation. 4. 40 A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.‎ A. Stay Focused on Your Work.‎ B. Take Breaks When Necessary.‎ C. If you have an office door, close it.‎ D. If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.‎ E. Would you want me to make your day longer? F. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.‎ G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.‎ 参考答案： 36-40 FGDCA ‎[九]‎ How to make the world a better place When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. That is not all the truth. 36.____________ An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person’s face even if only for a moment.‎ Give away your money. 37.__ __________For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.‎ Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street. 38.____________ The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.‎ Care about those you know. Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favorite fun place if he has had a hard week. 39.____________‎ Be grateful to others. Have you had good service in a restaurant? Thank the waiter.

If you want to work effectively, your team must be harmonious. Here's how: Build trust and respect. Make a team-oriented environment based on trust and respect without which there will only be limited success. A start-up is like a ship going through high uncertainty.

If you demand high productivity and quality work. you'd better be as good as your word.

Informal conversations bring people together and warm up human relationships. One option is to invite ‎ your team to play a game, like football or basket ball. If players want to win, they have to focus on cooperation. 39 Take advantage of conflict. 40 Somewhere, somehow, conflict will show up. When confrontation between employees gets out of hand in a start-up, the CEO must face it. Don 't complicate the situation by deciding what is good or bad. Listen to all sides carefully and then talk to other team members who observed the quarrel. Brainstorming solutions favorable for both sides may even result in ideas that would never have come to mind without the conflict. A. Organize a meeting for all employees. B Lay stress on the importance of teamwork C. A good team will always be efficient and productive. D. There are no teams without occasional misunderstandings E. If you promise to do something, be sure you will fulfill it F. Thus their pure characters are exposed and real relationships are built G. The stronger the trust is. the better the team will navigate without the captain on board 参考答案：‎ ‎36-40．GEAFD
