21、Today’s 14-and 15-year-olds are ambitious. They are optimistic about their future, but their career ideas are rather unclear. A job for life is not in their vocabulary. Almost half the boys surveyed expected that their hobbies would lead them into the right sort of job, while most girls seemed determined to avoid traditionally female careers such as nursing.
In the past, this might have counted as bad news. But the world has changed. The global economy is not kind to yesterday’s hardworking and dependable workers. The future belongs to quick-thinking people who are resourceful, ambitious and creative. This means that young people need training and guidance to help them develop the right skills for today’s market; not the rigid preparation for a workplace that disappeared 20 years ago.
So what is to be done? A good first step would be to change the way in which schools prepare young people for adult life. The education system is becoming less flexible and paying more attention to traditional skills when the employment market is going in the opposite direction.
Accurate, latest information on new jobs and qualifications can help guidance counselors to help their students. Young people need solid information on the sort of training they need to their dream career. Also, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way.
What, then, can we as parents do to help them? The best thing is to forget all the advice that our parents gave us, and step into our teenager’s shoes. It is important for them to learn how to be independent and resourceful. Give them courage to follow their dreams—however odd they might sound right now. In a world that offers economic security to almost no one, imagination is a terrible thing to waste.
【1】According to the survey, how are boys and girls different in career ideas?
A．Male teenagers are more ambitious and optimistic.
B．Dead-end but secure jobs are more popular with girls.
C．Boys prefer to choose jobs based on their interest.
D．Girl teenagers have clearer career ideas than boys.
【2】What word can best describe the person who is fluent in the global economy?
A．Inventive.
B．Hardworking.
C．Modest.
D．Reliable.
【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?
A．Wasting is the main cause of terrible economy.
B．Creativity should be valued most in the changing world.
C．No one can be secure in such a terrible world.
D．Wasting imagination leads to economic insecurity.
【4】Why is the passage written?
A．To analyze teenagers’ ideas about the economic world.
B．To explain how the world has changed the young.
C．To encourage parents to help the young to be independent.
D．To offer advice on how to prepare teenagers for careers.
22、Winter isn’t a time to just stay indoors and wait for spring. There’s a whole wonderland of sports out there for the entire family—sledding (滑雪橇), snowboarding, and skiing to mention a few. Plus, someone has to shovel the snow, right?
Once outdoors, however, make sure that your family are safe all the time.【1】, and before you know it, you might be on your way to the emergency room.
It’s easy to keep safe—and stay fit—during the cold months. By following a few tips, you can have a great time, no matter how much white stuff piles up outside.
If your kids decide to go sledding on their own for the day, make sure you know about the hill where they will be playing. 【2】? If so, it’s not a good location for sledding. Also, watch out for hills with rocks or those near busy roads.
【3】, resulting in broken bones and injuries to the head, and neck. So it’s wise to supervise your kids when they go sledding. Experts also suggest having kids wear helmets to help prevent head injuries.
Ice hockey and ice skating are great cold-weather activities, but require safety smarts, too. Make sure your kids avoid sports injuries by wearing helmets during ice hockey games and properly fitted skates whenever on the ice. 【4】. Rinks (溜冰场) are always safer than ponds for skating. If you only have access to a pond, check the thickness of the ice yourself to prevent falls through it and supervise your kids while they skate.
Before they hit the slopes with a snowboard or ski, make sure your kids are wearing helmets and protective goggles. Skiers’ safety bindings (the attachment that secures the ski boot to the ski) should be checked yearly, and snowboarders should wear gloves with built-in wrist guards. 【5】.
A．All equipment should fit well
B．Is it steep or covered with trees
C．Sledding injuries can be very serious
D．Accidents can occur easily in ice and snow
E．Ice skaters should also consider wearing helmets
F．Skiing can lead to accidents that often involve kids
G．Are there any injuries that are more common in the winter
23、Huron, Ohio, was where I’d spent my twenties, working on a steamer out on the Great Lakes. My wife and I started our family there, and later we came back to Huron to retire. Then, during the final stage of construction on our new home, I had difficulty breathing. The doctor determined I needed open-heart surgery. I was admitted to a hospital in Sandusky.
The night before my surgery, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep. I lay in my hospital bed praying and thinking about the events in my life that had led me to this point. I remembered how I had fallen in love with Huron and its people. I remembered a Christmas many years ago…
The shipping season had been good to me, so that winter I decided to buy some Christmas gifts and help out a family in town. “I know a family that would appreciate a visit from Santa Claus,” the owner of the store said. “A woman with six children just lost her husband.”
The store owner helped me wrap some presents and gave me the family’s address. That evening I delivered the packages. A little girl with brown eyes and the sweetest smile answered the door. “Santa asked me to bring these gifts to you and your family,” I said.
The girl’s eyes lit up even more. “Tell Santa ‘thank you’ from Dorothy,” she said. I never saw her or her family again, but all in town helped give Huron a permanent place in my heart. A heart now needed fixing badly.
A nurse came in to check on me. “Where are you from?” the nurse asked. “I’m from Huron,” I told her proudly.
She smiled. “I grew up there,” she said. “I loved it, even though life wasn’t easy. You see, I lost my father when I was just a child.”
I looked into her brown eyes and knew I’d seen them before. “Do you recall a sailor bringing presents to your door one Christmas?”
She stared. “That was you!”
“Yes, Dorothy,” I said, suddenly confident about my surgery. “That was me.”
【1】What was the author worried about the night before his surgery?
A．Huron and its people.
B．The uncompleted house.
C．His rough life experience.
D．His poor physical condition.
【2】How did Dorothy respond to the author’s question?
A．She kept silent with smile.
B．She totally ignored it.
C．She answered it amazedly.
D．She hesitated about it.
【3】What brought the author confidence in the surgery?
A．The love of people in the town Huron.
B．The reward of a kind action years ago.
C．The encouragement of the young nurse.
D．The high quality service of the hospital.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．An Unforgettable Open-heart Surgery
B．A Young Girl Finds Her Way Back Home
C．Huron Holds A Special Place in My Heart
D．A Precious Gift I Received Before Surgery
