11、or me. Married a litt le over four years, I had suffered fiveheartbreaking miscarriages (流产) and, at 42, was slowly accepting the cruel idea that I mightnever be able to have a child.On that fateful day, an elegantly dressed, slight ly older woman seated beside me offered toshare the photos and stor

12、ies of her daughter to break the silence in the half-empty caf. HerChinese girl was about seven years old.“Shes pretty,” I said. “But what made you decide to adopt her?” I asked, uncertain whetherI had stepped into an area which seemed too personal. “I dont want work to be my whole life,”she said. I

13、 wasnt sure whether she saw the tears welling up in my eyes as I replied, “I dont either,3but Im afraid its too late!” “I was 51 when I adopted Melanie,” she said, “And its the mostrewarding and exciting thing Ive ever done.”When our checks came, she handed me her business card, and I finally learne

Most ma ga zine s, whether online or print, will inc lude book reviews about books thattackle the topics the magazine discusse

18、s. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busyto read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book reviewcolumn). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.Many people that are reading your review may no

19、t know anything about the book yourereviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the booktit le, start out wit h a litt le description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary,though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, i

20、t wont be interesting. Startwith a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesnt give too much awa y. Youdont want to tell your reader everything about the book, because then they wont have to read it atall. Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the b

21、ook.Some ma ga zine s like to publish book reviews that are completely objective. This means thatthey want a review of the book that doesnt share your opinion and that in which your opinion isntobvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review.You proba

22、bly want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin.Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include yourpersonal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two aboutwhether or not you would recommend a b

23、ook and to whom you would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a spe c ific le ns. Read thebook as a feminist would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or4critic ize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism

24、is just one option. Aneconomic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationa lity, or the lens of a child could all beinteresting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it andforming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable.

25、 This is especially thecase if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting.Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example,because it pertains to their readership.Another great way to write a book review is to

26、talk about the writers style. Anyone can pickup a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things aboutanother writers style and write about them intelligent ly.28. Whats the first paragraph mainly about?A. Standards of good book reviews. B. Benefits of writ

27、ing book reviews.C. Ways to get your writing published. D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.29. Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review?A. Including much information on a major point of the book.B. Stating clearly the writers opinion of the book.C. Giving a brief summar

28、y of the book.D. Avoiding describing the book.30. The underlined word “lens” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by _.A. channel B. glasses C. ways D. equipment31. According to the text, only a skilled writer can _.A. look at a book through a specific angle B. give an objective description of a bookC. fi

29、nd a book and understand its plot easily D. pay close attention to another writers styleDThe Joy of AbsenceHow some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)?RONALD REAGAN famously joked that “its true hard work never killed anybody, but Ifigure, why take the chance?” Be yond a certain leve l

30、, extra e ffort seems to be self-de fe ating.Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employees productivity declines sharply.But that doesnt stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their deskfor long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce

31、group, recentlypraised the 996 model, where employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, as a “greatopportunity”. Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.There will be days when you do not have much to do; perhaps because you are wa iting forsomeone else in a different de

32、partment, or a different company, to respond to a request. As theclock ticks past 5 p.m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your bosshard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather

33、than work hard, you slave to make bossesthink that you are. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reducedproductivity, this can mean greater medic al expenses for the employer. According to a study inThe Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six

34、t imes higher foremployers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.None of this is to say that employers are not calle d to expect workers to be in the office for a5proper period of time. Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealingwith colleagues face-to-face create

35、s a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange ofideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.Turning an office into a pr ison, wit h inmates (囚犯) allowed home for the evenings, doesnothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine

36、 tasks areautomated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.32. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagans joke in Paragraph 1?A. To encourage people to work hard. B. To show that hard work is harmless.C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To praise Ronald

37、Reagans joking skills.33. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence?A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.B. With extra effort, we can defeat anybody.C. We should say no to extra effort.D. Extra effort isnt necessarily helpful.34. According to the passage, which situation is helpful t

38、o a company?A. All workers follow the 996 model praised by Jack Ma.B. Employees dont go home until their boss does.C. Workers have a brief meeting to discuss an urgency.D. Workers keep working when they are sick.35. Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage?A. Some managers have worker
