              Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant (顾问) and life was going well-she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text!I was So angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."
              Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.
              "The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. " Everything about
              my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."
              Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring. " she says. "In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners. "
              Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing--watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had.

              We are first asked the question"what do you want to be when you grow up?"when we're about five years old.The truth is that no one really cares what you say when you're that age.However,this question gets asked again and again as we get older.While this question inspires kids to dream about what they could be,it does not inspire them to dream about all that they could be.In fact,it does just the opposite,because when someone asks you what you want to be,you can't reply with 20different things,though well-meaning adults will likely chuckle and be like,"Oh,how cute,but you can't be a violin maker and a psychologist.You have to choose."
              But what if you're someone who isn't wired this way?What if there are a lot of different subjects that you're curious about,and many different things you want to do?If so,what you are is a multipotentialite.
              A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits(追求).It might help if you break it up into three parts:multi,potential,and ite.It's easy to see your multipotentialite as a limitation that you need to overcome,but there are some great advantages to being this way.
              The first is idea synthesis(综合性); that is,combining two or more fields and creating something new at the intersection.Innovation happens at the intersections.That's where the new ideas come from.
              The second strength is rapid learning.When multipotentialites become interested in something they go hard.They observe everything they can get their hands on.They're also used to being beginners,because they've been beginners so many times in the past years.Thus they're less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of the comfort zones.
              The third is adaptability; that is,the ability to move into whatever you need to be in a given situation.Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director,sometimes a web designer,sometimes a Kickstarter consultant,and sometimes,apparently,James Bond.He is valuable because he does good work.He's even more valuable because he can play various roles,depending on his clients'needs.Fast Company magazine identified adaptability as the single most important skill to develop in order to thrive in the 21st century.
              Multipotentialites are very good at these three skills,and they might lose the skills if pressured to narrow their focus.As a society,we have benefited from encouraging multipotentialites to be themselves.
              In fact,some of the best teams include a specialist and multipotentialite paired together.The specialist can dive in deep and carry out ideas,while the mumltipotentialite brings a wide range of knowledge to the project.So embrace your inner wiring.If you're a specialist at heart,then by all means,specialize.But to the multipotentialite,follow your curiosity down those rabbit holes and explore your intersections.

              (1) It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______ .
              A. adults don't remember their dreams
              B. adults don't understand children's dreams
              C. children should have big dreams at early age
              D. children should be curious about many subjects
              (2) According to the passage,a multipotentialite is likely to ______ .
              A. take challenges
              B. narrow his focus
              C. dive in deep ideas
              D. stay in comfort zones
              (3) Abe Cajudo is mentioned in Paragraph 6 to show ______ .

              B. how successful his career is
              C. what a muitipotentialite likes
              D. how adaptable a multipotentialite is
              (4) What is the writer's attitude towards multipotentialites? ______
              A. Unclear
              B. Positive
              C. Doubtful
              D. Critical.

              It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival,he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10hours of labor,he returned to find his bike gone.
              The bike,a black Kona 18speed,was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
              I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
              People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole.And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others.No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.

              C. life was hard for the young family.

              (4) What do the couple learn from their experience? ______
              A. Strangers are usually of little help.
              B. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
              C. News reports make people famous.
              D. One should take care of their bike.

              You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:
              "I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
              They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So,you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
              Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating. If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
              Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend,but they don't trust ads.
              So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places here young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive(骗人的),but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing."
              However,one might ask what exactly is"real"about young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater?Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

              (1) The two attractive young women were talking so that they could ______ .
              A. get the sweater at a lower price
              B. be heard by people around
              C. be admired by other shoppers
              D. decide on buying the sweater
              (2) The underlined words Lorenzo Bertolla is ______ .
              A. a very popular male singer
              B. an advertising agency
              C. a clothing company in Rome
              D. the brand name of a sweater
              (3) Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? ______
              A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
              B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.
              C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
              D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
              (4) Which of the following would be the best title for the text? ______
              A. Two Attractive Shoppers
              B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
              C. Ways of Advertising
              D. Undercover Marketing.

              Then I remembered that the reason why I kept the stray (流浪的) dog in the first place was that we could not find a home for her and did not want her to be destroyed.My heart softened.

              I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
              After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him ﹩200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
              But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me ﹩215.
              My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him ﹩770.
              Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

              D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
              (2) A good doctor is necessary for the author to ______ .

              The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important.Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview.They judge you by your appearance,attitude and manners.
              A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important.A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.
              When you introduce yourself,make eye contact with the interviewer.Some interviewers offer a handshake.Others don't.
              Try to be as natural as possible.But pay attention to your body language.The way you sit,walk,gesture,use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language.It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in.Are you feeling positively about yourself?Your abilities?Your interest in the job?
              Speak clearly and loudly enough.Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice.When you speak,look at the interviewer.Also,don't say negative things about yourself,or formr employer.
              Listen to questions carefully.If you don't understand a question,ask the interviewer to repeat or explain:
              "I'm sorry,but I didn't catch that."
              "I'm not sure exactly what you mean."
              Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview.Interviewers know that.They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed.But they expect you to try to control your nervousness.They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.
              At the end of the interview,thank the interviewer for her or his time.
              It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview,or deliver it by hand.
              Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week.Ask if they have made a decision about the job.
              Good luck!

              You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life.But in fact,almost everyone can invent.It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention.Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value,they don't let them slip away.
              For example,the inventor of the dishwasher,American Josephine Cochrane,loved to give dinner parties.But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke.She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes.So,in 1886,she set out to make one for herself.
              Like Cochrane's,most inventions are created to solve a problem.So,the first and most important step is to find the problem.
              You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now.You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever saying:"I wish someone would invent something for…"Or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street,or at school.Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.
              Remember to record your ideas and work.This will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed.
              The next step is to think about possible solutions.An invention is a new way of solving a problem.So think of many,varied,and unusual ways.
              You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way.
              Example 1-instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground,think of using something to protect the ground from your feet.
              Example 2-instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store,think of how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own.
              Example 3-instead of experimenting with only one solution,can you put two or three
              solutions together,or arrange them in different orders?
              And if one solution doesn't work,can it be put to other uses?That was how yellow post-it notes (N次贴) came about-a"failed"adhesive (粘合剂) experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too!
              After all,most inventions are not brand new.They do not come out of nowhere,but come out of things or ideas that already exist (存在).
              And the hardest part of inventing,even for a lot of inventors,is coming up with a problem and finding a solution.Once you have an idea,you can always get help building your invention.
              This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives.So,why not try it in your studies,in your relationship with others,or even in the way you look at the world?
