A
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 enthusiastic 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?
A. Interviewers B. Job-hunting people C. Employers D. Lay-off workers
22.We can learn from the first paragraph that_______．
A．hand-written letters are not used in finding a job
B．the more expensive clothes interviewees wear, the better
C．body language is more important than spoken words
D．Internet is of significance in applying for a job
23.Using body language well in a job interview will probably _______.
A．get rid of the interviewers’ prejudice B．determine what position one will get

B
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.
Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”．We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve skill year after year. A skier (滑雪者) is probably past his best by the age of thirty and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
24．The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ________.
A．activity B．uniform C．rules D．skills
25．Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ________.
A．mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
B．teams compete against each other
C．it is an Olympic event
D．there are five climbers on each team．
26. Mountaineers compete against ________.
A．each other B．Nature C．other teams D．international standards
27．Which of the following might be the best title?
A．How to Climb High Mountains B．Mountain Climbers
C．Challenging Sports Activities D．Mountaineering
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.

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university. I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent—to help other people.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things. I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.
After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
