As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen, Ive noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “Im fine, Mrs. Cruz.”At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows.“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three days later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I am a nerd (书呆子)，” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didnt believe her.The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. “Whats wrong?” she asked.“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I didnt know you wore glasses. They look great!” “Thanks,” Carmen replied shyly.As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glasses wont be so bad after all,” she thought.56. According to the text, Carmen_. A. doesnt like doing homework B. often tells lies to her teacher C. cares how well she does in lessons D. has trouble getting along with her classmates57. When Carmen wore glasses for the first time, she felt_. A. sad B. pleased C. surprised D. disappointed58. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Other girls expect to have new glasses. B.

Hey, stop! This is no vacationyou have to finish something.Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommers travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommers, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodors where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, its great to write about a tourist attraction, but youd better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someones vacation.60. What is most difficult for Jarolim?A. Working in different places to collect information.B. Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.C. Finishing her work as soon as possible.D. Passing a test to write travel guides.61. What do we know about Jarolim from the text?A. She is successful in her job.B. She finds her life full of stresses.C. She spends half of her time traveling. D. She is especially interested in museums.62. What would be the best title for the text?A. Adventures in Travel Writing B. Working as a Food CriticC. Travel Guides on the Market D. Vacationing for a LivingC As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one. First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open. Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Tow of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, dont overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.63. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers_. A. what a good first impression is B. how to make a good first impression C. how long it takes to make a first impression D. the importance of making a good first impression64. Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed? A. Cross your arms or legs. B. Open your coat or jacket when sitting down. C. Go into the room more slowly than usual. D. Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.65. If you lean forward too much, it means_. A. you are very bored B. you are too nervous C. you dont have confidence D. you dont trust others66. What is the best title for the text? A. How to use body language to win an interview B. How to answer questions in an interview C. How to understand body language D. How to deal with an interviewer来源:学#科#网D Details of the latest James Bond film Skyfall have been shown to the public.
