22、I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job—looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

24、Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another culture, but it does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
【1】The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ________.
A. show friendliness to strangers
B. be used to hide true feelings
C. be used in the wrong places
D. show personal habits
【2】What should we do before attempting to “read” people?
A. Learn about their relations with others.
B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C. Find out about their past experience.
D. Figure out what they will do next.
【3】What would be the best title for the test?
A. Cultural Differences
B. Smiles and Relationships
C. Facial Expressiveness
D. Habits and Emotions
25、 “We didn’t really find a good role model of any country doing things sustainably,” says Daniel O’Neill at the University of Leeds, UK. “We need to do things in a completely different way if we are to have any hope of achieving a good life for all people on the planet.”
O’Neill and his colleagues _______ each country’s sustainability by adding up how it used, produced or affected seven things.These were water, phosphorus, nitrogen, carbon dioxide emissions, landuse change, ecological footprint and material consumption.
The team also used 11 measures to assess whether citizens had good lives. Some were basic needs or expectations like nutrition, access to energy and long life expectancy. The others_______ social stability, like income, education, equality, social support and employment prospects.
A(n) ideal country would score zero for resource overshoot and 11 for citizen well-being: everyone’s needs would be met and no natural resources destroyed.
Rich countries overshoot their limits to feed their lifestyles. “The USA transgresses(超越) all seven planetary boundary indicators, but … scores relatively_______on the social targets, achieving nine out of 11,” says team member Julia Steinberger at the University of Leeds.The UK did_______breaking five boundaries, but reaching eight social targets. “They could be described as ‘well-off over-consumers’,” she says.
However, South Africa transgresses the same natural boundaries as the UK, but_______only one social target: nutrition. It is a “dysfunctional over-consumer”, says Steinberger, “because its consumption doesn’t seem to result in a better life” Some poor countries, like Malawi and Senegal, keep within planetary- boundaries, but reach none of the social targets.
A few countries are better at balancing well-being and_______.They include Sri Lanka-which goes beyond no natural limits -Vietnam and Moldova._______, none meets all the well-being targets.
“The_______provides a critical reminder of the tremendous challenge facing humanity,” says Johan Rockstrom of Stockholm University in Sweden.
“We can no longer balance that simply letting the market decide what is best for us will lead to anything but disaster,” says Steinberger.
O’Neill’s team says poorer countries should_______basic needs, which can be met without overshooting limits.Citizens of rich countries should rethink what they need.“Life satisfaction” scores improved only marginally for every ecological limit broken, so scaling back on luxuries could have big environmental benefits.
“Some of the strongest determinants of life satisfaction are good health; strong family and community relationships; economic security in the form of employment or higher incomes; and relative rather than absolute________with respect to the rest of one’s society,” says Steinberger. “There’s a lot we can learn about how to move to lower material forms of life satisfaction.”
【1】A.kept B.criticised C.praised D.rated
【2】A.endangered B.promoted C.reflected D.changed
【3】A.highly B.lowly C.disappointingly D.unexpectedly
【4】A.well B.similarly C.creatively D.otherwise
【5】A.misses B.cancels C.sets D.achieves
【6】A.reliability B.independence C.sustainability D.productivity
【7】A.Initially B.Moreover C.Therefore D.However
【8】A.description B.analysis C.balance D.limitation
【9】A.discover B.prioritise C.neglect D.monitor

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内客和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The skis on were dark. Rain fell in big drops and thunder and lightning flashed across the skies. I shivered with cold and fear as I walked through the streams of muddy water. Some people were rushing by, completely soaked in the heavy rain.
Along the way, I saw some schoolchildren seizing their heavy schoolbags and rushing home. I also saw that some road repair work had been abandoned by workers. Obviously the workers had left in a hurry because of the storm. There were few signs and it was hard to see what was on the road. There were pieces of wood and sheets of metal and it looked like a hole had been dug and hastily(草率地)covered with planks(木板).
I moved on but suddenly stopped as I heard some sounds. It sounded like children crying I quickly turned back and went back to the place from where the sounds came. I was horrified! I found that two little children had fallen into the gaping hole on the road. The planks had moved away with the force of the rushing water. I could barely see the children as it was dark all around me. I told them that I was going to get help and ran.
I was not sure of what to do or where to go. There were several neighbors and I decided to go to the nearest house for help. I knew the owner, Mr Lee, who lived there. I told him about the problem
