Fashion buyerIf you are looking for a job in a fashion industry, why not become a fashion buyer? Fashion buyers typically work for retail c

12、hains and department stores, albeit(尽管) you start your own business. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average fashion buyer makes around $ 61,000 per year. If you work full time, you may also get paid time off, and in many cases, a health care package.3. Game translatorLooking to wor

13、k from home? You can earn pretty much if you become a game translator. Translating games is a lot more interesting than translating legal texts. With a great number and variety of games appearing every day, you will always have what to translate. Just make sure you know that language well. Depending

14、 on the location, company, industry, and your experience, you can earn up to $51,000 per year.4. PhotographerAlthough you do not have to speak well to shoot well, today most companies are looking for photographers who know foreign languages and are ready to travel around the world.

15、l and do the job you are passionate about, without working too hard.5. Foreign journalistForeign journalists are in high demand today.

19、rnalist C. fashion buyer D. game translatorBFor most Americans, dogs are no longer relegated to the doghouse. According to the American Pet Products Association, an industry trade group, almost 60 percent of dog owners say they regard their pet as a child or member of the family. And many let their

20、dogs sleep right in their human owners beds, often alongside their owners.But is sleeping in the same bed with your dog a good idea? Wouldnt they be disruptive to our sleep? According to a recent study, not really. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix studied 40 dogs (none were puppies) who sle

21、pt in the bedroom with their owners. The humans were all generally good sleepers, with no known sleep disorders.The dogs wore a device called a Fitbark, an activity tracker that attaches to the collar and records whether an animal is at rest and sleeping or active and at play. The people wore an Act

22、iwatch 2, an activity monitor that records peoples movements and whether they are sleeping soundly or not. Both monitors were set to sample movement every minute, while the humans also kept a sleep diary.Over seven days of testing, the researchers found that with a dog in the bedroom, both the human

23、s and the dogs slept reasonably well. Humans had a mean sleep efficiency, or the percentage of time spent asleep while in bed, of 81 percent, while dogs had a sleep efficiency of 85 percent. Levels over 80 percent are generally considered satisfactory. People slept slightly better when the dog was o

24、ff the bed; dog slept the same whether they were on the bed or in another location in the bedroom. “This goes against the lore(说法)that you should have the dog sleep elsewhere, and not in the bedroom, said Dr Lois E. Krahn, the studys senior author and a psychiatrist and sleep medicine specialist and

25、 sleep medicine specialist at the center for Sleep Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. Her 6-year-old golden retriever(金毛猎犬），Phoebe, routinely sleeps on the floor in the bedroom- and in the colder months joins her and her husband on their bed. Both the dog and the people, she said, sleep fine.In an earlier

26、 study from 2015, Dr Krahn and her colleagues asked patients who had visited the Mayo Clinics sleep clinic whether they owned dogs, cats or other pets. About half did, with many owning more than one. Forty-one percent said they perceived their pet as unobtrusive or beneficial to their sleep, compare

27、d to 20 percent who said their pet was disruptive(破坏的). That study was self-reported, and “we cant quite trust people to have an accurate report or even be able to accurately observe their feelings for their pets, Dr Krahn said. Its sort of like a parents feelings for their child. I wanted to have o

28、bjective data. Hence the recent follow-up report that used activity monitors to get objective data.24. Whats the function of the questions in the second paragraph?A. To introduce a solution to the problem.B. To draw readers attention.C. To tell readers the fact that sleeping with dogs is good.D. To

29、ask people not to sleep with dogs. 25. Which statement about “Fitbark is RIGHT?A. An activity tracker is only used to record an animals action.B. A device attaching to the collar of an animal records its rest and play.C. A monitor records peoples movements at night.D. A monitor helps people to keep

30、a sleep diary and sleep soundly.26. Why did Dr Lois E. Krahn mention her 6-year-old golden retriever in the sixth paragraph?A. To express her idea that dogs should sleep elsewhere.B. To remind people that dogs are peoples friends.C. To suggest that both dogs and people sleep fine together.D. To show

31、 her dog was friendly and quiet.27. From the last paragraph we can infer that _. A. people often love pets too much to tell the truthB. the feelings between people and pets usually make people unable to tell a lieC. an earlier study from 2015 showed that half of the patients in England had petsD. a

32、survey involving peoples self-reported data may be too subjective for studyC I quit my first “real” job after university. It seemed to be a mistake: it was in my industry of choice, it was the start of the recession, I had just been promoted, and I didnt have another 9-to-5 lined up.or any real fina

33、ncial assets to fall back on.It turned out to be the best career decision I ever made. Only by giving up my job as a political reporter in Washington D.C. could I move to Italy and pursue my dream of becoming a travel journalist. One of the publications I began writing for was the BBC, which led to

34、a full-time job across two continents.Of course, I didnt know it would work out that way. And leaving my job wasnt the only reason for everything that followed. But quitting was a terrifying-and necessary-starting point.For most of us, the important role quitting can play in success runs counters(反驳

35、) to deeply-held beliefs. In previous generations, the usual narrative was that success (and financial stability) followed the workhorse who stuck with their job, or career path, no matter what. As promises of job security have decreased, that role model of a company lifer has been replaced by the e

36、ntrepreneur who never gives up.Both narratives share one lesson above all others: Winners never quit and quitters never win.” “Whether in a job, a relationship or a dream, we are taught that giving up is synonymous(同义词) with failure. What nobody talks about is that, sometimes, quitting is really goo

37、d. Its really important,” says Eric Barker, author of Barking Up the Wrong Tree. “There are only 24 hours in a day. If you never quit anything, youre going to have less time for the things that really matter.”Of course, persistence is important. If you abandon a marathon at the 5km mark, youll never

38、 succeed. But rather than thinking of quitting as the absolute last resort, we may want to reconsider its value, say experts. Research suggests that, when done for the right reasons, walking away from a workplace, relationship or even an ambition can make you happier, healthier and more successful.F

39、or one, people often are working towards the wrong goals to begin with. Even if a goal was once a good fit, it might not be so appropriate a few years later. If I never quit anything, Id still be playing tee-ball a childrens version of baseball and playing with Transformers,” Barker jokes.But once w

40、e have realized we want to take a different direction, most of us still find it difficult to abandon our current path.This reflects a particularly human tendency: our excruciating(折磨人的）aversion(天恶）to loss. What we have already invested, whether time or money or something else, reflects our sunk cost

41、. That investment is hard to abandon. Would you rather lose $5,or turn down the opportunity to earn $5? Most of us find the latter easier, even though the result is the same.Its the same reason that someone with an expensive, time-intensive law or medical degree may be less likely to leave their car

42、eer path, no matter how unhappy they might be.28. According to the passage, we can learn that when in university, the author was likely to major in _. A. industry B. finance C. politicsD. journalism29. From the passage we can infer that a political reporter in Washington DC can be _. A. a nine-to-fi

43、ve office job B. a tough jobC. a job across two continents D. a part-time job30. Whats the authors attitude towards Winners never quit and quitters never win”?A. positiveB. negativeC. confusedD. optimistic31. The author mentioned time-intensive law or medical degree in the last paragraph in order to

44、 _. A. show that law or medical degree is hard to gainB. indicate that people hate loss very muchC. explain that people prefer money to lossD. tell readers becoming lawyers and doctors costs much moneyDA YOUNG girl raises her hand in class to answer the teachers question. She proudly gives the corre

45、ct answer when her classmates start to giggle (咯咯地笑). Among them, she hears somebody call her a “know-it-all” and sees another roll his eyes. She doesnt dare to speak up again because confident women are often called “bossy (专横的)”. Despite decades of advances, it seems that women continue to face pr

46、ejudice (偏见) when it comes to holding a position of power. Laila Farah, an associate professor at DePaul University in Chicago in the US, said the reason for this stereotype lies in history. “This is an old phenomenon which reflects the fact that many people think females dont have the same brain ca

47、pability (能力) compared to the male brain,” Farah said. Whats more, the prejudice is so deep in our society that it has become hard to ignore. “Gender (性别) bias is found in the media, schools, the workplace basically everywhere,” Farah said. “It is learned in infancy (婴儿时期) and goes from toys chosen

48、to assuming females arent good at math.” Another reason for confident women being called bossy is that “some people arent used to women being confident enough to speak their minds”, said high school junior Jessica Bella from Illinois. Embarrassing women by calling them “bossy” has caused some of the

49、m to tone down their confidence. In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute, a program that helps girls develop strong leadership skills, many girls said the biggest thing holding them back from participating in class was being judged. “Sometimes, I know I have the right answer in class, but

50、I dont raise my hand because I dont want to be annoying,” said high school junior Emily Grigg from Illinois. Still, some women have bravely stood up against this stereotype. “If women in leadership positions are considered to be bossy, then I like to do all I can to prove that wrong. We all have an

51、equal opportunity to present our knowledge no matter how that may come across,” said Christina Jakubas, an English teacher from Illinois. Maybe what we need to do is turn being bossy into something empowering(赋予力量的) for women. After all, bossy people get the job done.32. By writing about the experie

52、nce of a girl raising her hand in class, the author intends to _.A. prove that confident women tend to be bossyB. explore what stops women from being themselvesC. explain why bossy women are unpopular in groupsD. show how women should fight against gender bias33. What do the underlined words “this s

53、tereotype” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Women who hold a position of power facing prejudice.B. Gender bias becoming hard to ignore in society.C. Females failing to do as well as males in math.D. Females not having the same brain capabilities as males. 34. The underlined phrase “tone down” in Paragraph

54、 7 probably means _.A. make something less strongB. feel good about somethingC. take no notice of somethingD. attach great importance to something35. Which of the following would the author probably agree with according to the article?A. Confident women tend to possess strong leadership skills.B. Bo

55、ssy women usually get their jobs done better than men.C. Females in leadership positions should try to avoid being bossy.D. Females should ignore negative comments and bravely speak their minds.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。SQ3R is an active reading exercise that is

Only when we cherish everything and everyone we encounter today can we live our life happily.
