At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website.

第三部分: 阅读理解(共11小题; 每小题2分, 满分22分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Being a grown-up isn’t always as good as people say. You’ve got the rent and the bills to pay. Work can be hard and you’ve got the transport problem to cope with.
It’s no surprise, then, that those who head to the United States to spend the summer working as counselors (顾问) on a children’s camp often come back sharing their experience with excitement. Every day of their nine- or ten-week placement is spent working with kids who go there for some serious fun, so it’s not hard for the counselor to enjoy themselves, too.
Bec Hardy, from Australia, spent a summer working for Camp America in Connecticut and insists, despite its being hard work and a lot of responsibility, it was the best thing she’s done since leaving home. “There were about seventy counselors working on the camp, so it was a great way to meet new people,” she says. Having worked an extra month at the end of camp, Hardy got to learn more about the jobs that are done behind the scenes, such as in the kitchen and with building work.
“The people doing these jobs tended to be from non-English-speaking countries and the jobs were harder work, although they did get paid a bit more than counselors,” says Hardy, who now works processing new applications for Camp America. What are her tips for those thinking about working on a camp? “Pack light and pack your least favorite clothes. Expect hard work and plan some time for sleeping after the ten weeks!” she says.
Suze Cossey, from New Zealand, spent four summers working for Camp Counselors USA in Maine. “I’d have to say the best part of it is meeting new people,” she agrees.
In her last camp job she shared her log cabin with five fifteen-year-old girls. “It was like being a big sister and I still keep in touch with some of them.” She managed to save quite a bit of money, too. “You don’t spend anything while you’re there, as all the food and the accommodation are provided,” she says. “Afterwards, while I was travelling around the States, I was invited to stay in the homes of the friends I’d made.”
56. What is the advantage of working at a camp identified by both Bec Hardy and Suze Cossey?
A. Meeting new people from different places.
B. Saving quite a bit of money.
C. Learning something new about building work.
D. Knowing how to pack light.
57. Suze Cossey was able to save money during her time at Camp Counselors USA because .

A. she didn’t have to buy food or shared her log cabin with five girls
B. She didn’t have to pay for accommodation or worked in the kitchen
C. She didn’t have to buy food or pay for accommodation
D. She didn’t have to pay for accommodation or did building work.
58. According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
A. The children who go to camp do so unwillingly.
B. It’s a good idea for counselors to pack lots of light clothes.
C. Counselors were paid less than the kitchen workers.
D. At the moment, Bec Hardy works for Camp Counselors USA.

B
If you could be any butterfly, which butterfly would you be? That’s the question facing Camille Fox as she sits on her purple exercise mat (垫子). She imagines the butterfly pose --- knees apart, the soles (脚掌) of her feet touching. “Hold on to your butterfly wings.” Jodi Komitor teaches her class in New York City. Camille holds her toes tightly and prepares for flight. Komitor continues: “Lean back, open your butterfly wings and fly!” Her students then flap their legs.
Komitor’s students will also become sleeping lions and snakes before the 45-minute class is over. They will walk on their hands and feet, balance on one leg and sit chanting, “Om”. Similar classes are being offered across the country. These parents are introducing their children to yoga in the belief that balanced lives begin with balanced children. And with their easy flexibility (灵活性) and willing imaginations, kids are proving to be natural yogis.
Alice Christensen, president of the American Yoga, is firmly against children under the age of 16 doing yoga positions. “Yoga exercise brings on hormonal(荷尔蒙) changes,” she says. “Children should not practice it because it affects their growth system.” There are no studies supporting that contention, but Christensen says there has not been enough time to assess (评估) yoga’s long-term damage to young bodies. However, instructors like Marita Gardner-Anopol, who teaches yoga and pre-schools and elementary schools in New Jersey, disagree. “Does ballet affect natural changes in the body? Skiing? Ice skating?” asks Gardner-Anopol. “Come on. Children are active from the time they are three.”
In fact, most children take yoga in addition to other sports. Solomon Taslitz, age 15, says his yoga classes in Los Angeles---which include headstands, handstands and standing poses---have improved his skills in basketball. Chandler Garland, age 7, takes ballet and jazz dance as well as yoga. “When I get tense and crazy it helps me to be quieter and relaxed,” she says. She adds that yoga has helped her focus on her homework.
59. “Yoga could be harmful to young children.” This is the opinion of .
A. Camille Fox B. Alice Christensen
C. Marita Gardner-Anopol D. Jodi Komitor
60. Which of the following is NOT suggested as a benefit of yoga?
A. Yoga helps maintain normal body weight.
B. Yoga helps develop one’s good balance.
C. Yoga has a calming effect.
D. Yoga helps concentration.
61. Which word below is closest in meaning to “contention” (Paragraph 3)?
A. Feeling B. Fact C. Discovery D. Opinion
62. When Marita Gardner-Anopol says “Come on” (Paragraph 3), she is expressing .
A. agreement. B. encouragement. C.
