A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later. The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work. “If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary”. Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts. But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency “Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of „friend',”said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US. 36.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _________. A. if you have more friends you will not live happily. B. the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn in your late life. C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live. D. friends can make more money for you. 37. According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means_____ A. You have the ability to earn more money. B. You will not feel lonely. C .You are quite content with your life. D. You have the ability to get along with others in various situations. 38. What‟s the main idea of the passage ? A. The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship. B. Friends plays an more important part in our daily life than anything else. C. Friends are currency. D. Friends give you success. 39. We can learn from the passage that _________. A. If you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future. B. Graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future. C. Friends means a form of currency. D. Friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed. 第 3 页 共 7 页
B In his lowest days when few people bought his records, Taiwan singer Steve Chou (周传雄) lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD store and accidentally heard a song that greatly enchanted (迷住) him. His passion for music was suddenly rekindled (重新点燃). “My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame or money,” Chou told Teens. “So I asked myself, „why not start all over again?‟” That's how we luckily regained this music genius, who has since then composed lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜). His emotional voice is enthralling (迷人旳). "Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we genuinely (真正地) want to follow," he said. Following the success of Turkey in Blue, he has recently released his latest work Lovers Genesis. In this album he explores human relationships in the Internet age. This time, he takes the role of a calm observer rather than a struggling insider. "Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you're going to use it," is Chou's advice to teenagers. Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country's language is the fastest way of experiencing the culture behind it. 40. How was Steve Zhou‟s passion for music rekindled? A. He was encouraged by his friends. B. When he passed by a store and heard a song that enchanted him. C .He decided to rebuild his reputation. D. A good idea suddenly occurred to him. 41. Which of the following songs belongs to Steve Zhou ? A. Heal the world B. I swear C. Lovers Genesis D. Lemon tree 42. How does Zhou get his music idea ? A . From his work life B. From his trips C. From his friends D. From musical books 43. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. Technology is always a good thing. B. Technology by no means is a good thing. C. If you use it properly, it will be helpful to your life. D. We should not believe technology too much. C When you consider what subject to study in college, chances are that you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation. You will likely ask the question: “Can I find a well-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future?” This consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities (人文学科) at college. People generally believe that the humanities, which include literature , history, cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation (职业). Science subjects, however, are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家). “I've decided to take finance as my college major. My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said Huachen Yueru, 17, a science student at Wuxi No. 1 High School. Even those who choose a liberal arts (文科) education often pick the humanities subject 第 4 页 共 7 页
which they think will best help them later find a job. “I'm going to study Spanish in college, which I believe will open doors to a high-paying job for me,” said Liu Chao, 18, a Senior 2 student at Dalian No 20 High School. He said few of his classmates show interest in subjects like philosophy and history, which are seen as “less promising” in job markets. The popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has also been decreasing in the United States. American scholars (学者) and universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (经济危机) liberal arts subjects will be hit hardest. As money tightens (紧缩), they worry that the humanities may become “a great luxury (奢侈品) that many cannot afford”, according to the New York Times. 44. When you consider what to study in college, what does you and your parents usually think about ? A. whether you are interested in the subject. B. if you can lead a happy life. C. what you can make out of it after graduation. D .How much you can learn in the college. 45.Why do students show little interest in the subjects, like philosophy or history ? A .Because they are not interested in them. B. Because they think these subjects are useless. C. Because they see these subjects as less-promising in job market. D. Because they like the science subjects. 46. What can we infer from the passage ? A. Humanities are becoming less and less popular with the students. B. Studying science subjects is sure to find a well-paid job. C. The humanities in college should be cancelled. D. The writer thinks those who choose the liberal arts education will choose their favorite subjects. 47. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph ? A. the subject you study in college B. science C. humanities D. liberal arts D An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when they‟re speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets. The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver‟s PDA or programmable mobile phone. The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car‟s speedometer. In fact, it is entirely portable. It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds. Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to 第 5 页 共 7 页
analyze the product. He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road
