              What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.

              But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?

              76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.

              Even if you don’t have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It’s a valuable skill.

              But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents’ income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.

              So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.

              (1) Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?
              A. Practice makes perfect                                          
              B. Nothing is impossible
              C. Hope for the best                                                   
              D. No pains, no gains
              (2) According to the government survey，the most important factor to help people move up the ladder is _________.
              A. hard work B. education
              C. social relationship D. social activity
              (3) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
              A. 76% of the people think social relationship is most important.
              B. 41% of the people believe parents’ income is most important.
              C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.
              D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.
              (4) From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to _____.
              A. stress the importance of education
              B. challenge the traditional belief
              C. make lots of social connections
              D. encourage people to work hard
              (5) Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

              The Masai are a people who are constantly trying to preserve their own ways in an increasingly modem world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their living.

              The Masai have become known as a people of fighters, protecting their cattle against lions and other enemies. Only men are fighters. They wear long hair, which is colored red with clay. They can have more than one wife. Women build and take care of the home, fixing food and making clothing. Women and children keep their heads shaved. Women can also become elders, once they have given birth to four healthy children.

              The Masai depend on their cattle for many parts of their life. They drink cow's milk and blood as a sacred drink. They use the cows' waste to cover and seal their homes. They don't kill their cattle for food, but if a cow is killed, then the horns (角) are used for containers; the hides are used to make shoes, clothing, ropes and bed coverings; and the bones are made into decorations.

              The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. A "rich" man has a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man's entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's unique voice.

              Masai houses are made from sticks and grass, but they are meant to be temporary, since the move of their cattle means that the Masai move as well.


              (1) What is Masai women's daily work at home?

              A. They protect the cattle from being hunted.

              B. They give birth to babies and bring them up.

              C. They look after as well as name their cattle.

              D. They mainly deal with various housework.

              (2) When do the Masai move from one place to another?

              A. They move when they have over a thousand cattle.

              B. They move once there are 4 children in the family.

              C. They move when their cattle need new food sources.

              D. They move after their houses are not strong enough.

              (3) What does the underlined word "elders" in Paragraph 2 mean?

              A. Aged citizens. B. Respected people.
              C. Brave fighters. D. Wealthy hostesses.

              (4) It can be inferred from the text that

              A. the Masai raise cattle mainly for their meat

              B. lions are the primary enemies of the Masai

              C. the Masai are living a life in a modern way

              D. the total of Masai's cattle decides their status

              Cats are the most popular pets among Americans．So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats．Some cats like to catch small birds，like canaries （金丝雀）．If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself，we say he looks like the cat that eat the canary．
              Sometimes，a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches．So if you play cat and mouse with someone，you change between different kinds of behavior（行为） when dealing with another person．For example，a child might offer something sweet to his little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it．

              In Britain all children have to go to school between the ages of 5 and 16．In the US children must go to school from the age of 6to between the ages of l4 and l6，depending on the state they live in．
              In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum （课程），which was introduced in 1988and sets out （制定） in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7，11，14and 16，when they are tested．The National Curriculum does not apply in Scotland，where each school decides what subjects it will teach．
              In the US，the subjects taught are decided by national and local governments．Whereas British schools usually have prayers and religious instruction，American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefs．
              At 16，students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations．These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination，an assessment （评价） of work done during the two year's course，or both of these things．At 18，some students take A-level examinations，usually in not more than 3subjects．It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or polytechnic （综合技术大学）．
              In Scotland，students take the SCE examinations．A year later，they can take examinations called HIGHS，after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies．In Scotland，the university system is different from that in England and Wales．Courses usually last four years rather than three and students study a larger number of subjects as part of their degree．
              In the US，school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain．Students in High schools do have exams at the end of their last two years，but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done during the school years．

              (1) How many examinations in Britain are mentioned in the passage？ ______
              A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Two
              (2) Which statement is true according to the passage？ ______

              D. In America，people have no religious rights in school．

              A. GCSE examinations

              Like human beings，dogs may catch cold because of cold weather，wet conditions can also get it from other sick dogs．If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes，coughs or sneezes（打喷嚏），then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold．

              You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet．Healthy food can really do wonders．Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医） or is healthy for your pet．Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A，C and E．
              Keep your dog warm．The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house．Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet．At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets．This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast．
              Increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot．Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength．Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）．
              Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold．It makes the nasal（鼻的） passage wet，which helps proper breathing．Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15minutes．Do it nearly 2to 3times a day and you will see your dog recovering．
              These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold．However，if you are not able to find any improvement in its health，then turn to the vet for help immediately．Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）．

              Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines．That is，generally，younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift．
              It is not always the ease，though．When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars，there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide．The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car．In a study last year，of all people surveyed，48percent said they wanted to ride in one，while 50percent did not．
              The feet that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be．Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them，every age group is similarly involved．
              Actually，this isn't surprising．Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies．Driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular．Older adults，especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own，are one of the classic use-eases for driverless cars．
              This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones．
              When it comes to driverless cars，differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age．College graduates，for example，are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education，59percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38percent of those with a high-school diploma or less．
              Where a person lives matters，too．More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas．
              While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board，a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream．Once driverless cars arc actually available for sale，the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them．

              (1) What happens when a new technology appears？ ______
              A. It often leads to great inventions in other related fields．

              The iPhone，the iPad，the iPod：each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad （一时的风尚）．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．A slimmeddown version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
              In general，singleletter prefixes （前缀） have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as email and ecommerce first came into use．
              Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's"i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
              But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"instead？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn't have one clear definition，"he says．
              "However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability，"adds Thorne．
              Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason．
              Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．
              But as history shows，people grow tired of fads．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However，as we entered the new century，the trend inevitably disappeared．

              (1) We can infer that the Independent's"i"is aimed at ______ ．
              A. young readers B. old readers
              C. fashionable women D. engineers
              (2) The underlined word"ambiguous"means" ______ "．
              A. popular B. uncertain C. definite D. unique
              (3) Nowadays，the"i"term often reminds people of the products which are ______
              A. portable B. environmentally friendly
              C. advanced D. recyclable
              (4) The writer suggests that ______
              A. "i"products are often of a high quality
              B. the popularity of"i"products may not last long
              C. the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products
              D. iTeddy is a live bear．
