Growing up, I had a scar on my face — a perfect arrow in the center of my cheek, pointing at my left eye. I 16 it when I was three, long before I knew that scars were a 17 thing, especially for a girl. I only knew that my scar brought me 18 and tenderness and candy. As I got older, I began to take 19 in my scar, in part to stop people laughing at me, but mainly as a reaction to the thought that I should feel uncomfortable. It’s true. I was 20 the first couple of times someone pointed at my 21 and asked, “What’s that?” or called me “Scarface.” But the more I heard how 22 my scar was, the more I found myself liking it.
When I turned fifteen, my parents — 23 the advice of a doctor — decided it was time to 24 on what was now a thick, shiny red scar.
“But I don’t mind the scar, really,” I told my father as he 25 that I would have the operation during my summer vacation.

But my father said it was a deformity (畸形). I don’t know what 29 more that day: hearing my father call my scar a deformity, 30 realizing that it didn’t 31 to him how I felt about it.
I did have the operation that summer.
In my late twenties, I took a long look at my scar, something I hadn’t done in years. 32 , it could be seen in the right light, but no one 33 me about it anymore. As I leaned uneasily toward the mirror, I felt a sudden 34 .
There was something powerful about my scar and the proud person I 35 because of it. I have never been quite so strong since they cut it out.

Starting your first job search is exciting and confusing. Here’s some advice that’s virtually (差不多) guaranteed to point you in the right direction:
a. Leave your parents at home
Your parents are one of the best resources for job search advice, and it’s wise to pick their brains on occasion. After all, with years of experience under their belts, they can offer guidance for avoiding the mistakes they’ve made. But be careful not to rely on them too heavily.
It’s not unheard of for parents to accompany their children to job fairs. Your parents’ behavior will tell those employers that you lack the independence and confidence to conduct your own job search.
b. ___________________
Everyone wants to land the “perfect” job — you know, the one with a good base salary and generous time off. Unfortunately, these jobs are few and far between. But that doesn’t mean the right job for you isn’t out there.
When evaluating employment offers, don’t overlook those that fall a little outside your idea of ideal. For example, if the pay is less than you would like to earn consider if other aspects of the job, such as the benefits offerings or advancement potential, make up for the slightly smaller salary. If you place too much focus on a single element of the offer, you may pass up a promising opportunity.
c. Be honest
Entry-level professionals often have little work experience that can be used to convince employers of their qualifications. That’s why some are tempted to enhance their application materials by embellishing (美化) certain details. An applicant may claim to have completed a degree that is still unfinished, for instance.
Companies perform background and reference checks on prospective (可能的) employees, and even a small white lie is enough to disqualify the most talented candidate. It takes only one call to a previous boss to uncover a falsehood.
Above all, remember that finding a new job can take weeks or even months. Try not to become discouraged. Take a smart, careful approach to your job search, and you will land your first position before you know it.
39. The passage mainly tells readers _______.
A. the importance of people’s first job
B. how to show your advantages to your employers
C. how to land your very first job
D. how to be an honest person
40. What would be the best heading for part b?
A. Find a “perfect” job
B. Grasp a promising opportunity
C. Do consider all of the aspects of a job
D. Don’t focus on “perfection”
41. The underlined expression “few and far between” means ______.
A. many B. rare C. difficult D. challenging
42. Some applicants may claim to have completed a degree that is still unfinished because ______.
A. they think it has something to do with their salary
B. they think it may bring them some job opportunities
C. they are sure they can finish it sooner or later
D. they are just want to show off
C
I once heard someone say, “We don’t remember days; we remember moments.” However, in today’s busy life we often forget to enjoy small pleasures while we make big plans.
In the race to be better or best, we sometimes lose sight of “just being”. And just being and enjoying a beautiful moment can provide some of life’s greatest pleasures. A fire on a cold winter night, a good book, an impressive sunset, a great meal, or a timeless moment with your child or a friend ．．． these moments, if we stop long enough to enjoy, are the essence (本质) of life.
I love to fish, especially for large-mouth bass (鲈鱼). About three years ago I was watching television late at night and got this crazy idea to go fishing in the lake behind my house. Of course, my wife thought I was nuts. It was almost midnight! I told her I was fine and took off.
I walked out to a warm summer breeze (微风) and looked up at the starry sky and breathtaking full moon. I allowed my senses to soak (浸泡) in every second — the sweet smell of flowers, the sound of every cricket (蟋蟀), the moon’s reflection dancing off the water — it was a perfect night.
After walking across a small field, I took out a flashlight, and selected a lure (饵). On my first cast I got a bass weighing over five pounds, one of the largest I had ever caught. I gently put it back into the water and continued my midnight adventure. During the next two hours I caught seventeen bass, all between two and five pounds. Although I’ve fished for almost fifty years, no fishing memory can top that night.
But that night provided far more than a fishing memory. It was a life memory. It provided me a picture of what life could be like if I just slowed down enough to enjoy the moments. On my way back to the house, as I walked through the tall grass, I took one last look at the sky and stopped to say, “Thank you, God, for giving me this night.”
43. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. suggest people should make big plans
B. tell people to do what they like
C. advise people to enjoy beautiful moments
D. encourage people to follow their dreams
44. What does the underlined word “nuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Determined. B. Ill. C. Tired. D. Crazy.
45. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. the description of the night
B. the author’s fishing experience
C. the author’s attitude towards life
D. what the author did that night
46. We can learn from the passage that night the author ______.
A. caught fewer fish than before
B. enjoyed real small pleasures
C. went to bed around 1:00 am
D. went fishing with his wife

A new study by a Penn State College of Medicine research team found that honey is a better and safer treatment for children than cough medicines.
Ian Paul, the study’s lead researcher, was motivated to test honey because treating coughs in children has recently become a sticky subject. Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritated (受刺激的) airways to help you breathe. But too much coughing can irritate your lungs and throat even more. It can also make it tough to get the sleep your body needs to heal. Hoping to ease the suffering of their children, parents often give them cough medicines.
But there have never been any good studies showing that they work. Cough and cold medicines may also cause serious side effects. Hundreds of kids die in the hospital each year after receiving too much cough medicine by mistake. Last October, the US Food and Drug Administration suggested that parents should not give cough medicines to children under 6.

In order to search for a different solution, Paul designed a study that involved 105 kids who were sick with coughs and other cold conditions. At bedtime, the kids took buckwheat (荞麦) honey, honey-flavored (蜂蜜味的) DM (one of the most common ingredients in cough medicines), or no treatment. Parents
