you are probably better at some school subjects than others. these may show strengths that you can use in your work. a boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. a girl who spells well and likes english may be good at office work. so it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. on the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. a knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. this is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. you may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. if you have had a part-time job on saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. if nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. you may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. you may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. it is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. your school record, for example, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. you should not be apologetic (認錯的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.46. what is the passage mainly about?a. the importance of working hard at school. b. choosing a career according to ones strengths.c. how to face ones weakness. d. the value of school work.47. the writer thinks that a student with a part-time job is probably _.a. a good way to find out his weak points b. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyc. of great use for his work in the future d. a waste of time he could have spent on study48. from the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he _.a. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesb. will be regretful about his bad resultsc. may also do well in his future workd. should restart his study in school49. the underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in para. 3) probably means “_”.a. be clumsy (笨拙) at doing things b. be skillful in doing thingsc. be not interested in certain things d. be easily bored in doing things50. from the last paragraph we know one should _.a. make full use of ones own weak pointsb. study harder for a new school recordc. apologize for ones own school recordd. face ones own weak points bravely bsomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites youve visited. or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. in fact，its likely some of these things have already happened to youwho would watch you without your permission? it might be a girlfriend，a marketing company, a boss，a policeman or a criminal. whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 21st century equal to being caught naked (裸露的). psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though its important to reveal (透露) yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. actually few boundaries remain. the digital breadcrumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like. in some cases，a simple google search can reveal what you think. like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. the key question is: does that matter? for many americans, the answer apparently is “no”. when opinion polls (民意調查) ask americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. a survey found a majority of people are pessimistic (悲觀的) about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.” but people say one thing and do another. only a small part of americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收費亭) to avoid using the ez pass system that can track (跟蹤) automobile movements. and few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. privacy economist alessandro acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (優(yōu)惠券).but privacy does matter at least sometimes. its like health; when you have it, you dont notice it. only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.51. what would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? a. there should be a distance even between friends. b. there should be fewer quarrels between friends. c. friends should always be faithful to each other. d. friends should open their hearts to each other.52. why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”? a. there are always people who are curious about others affairs. b. many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities. c. people leave traces around when using modem technology. d. modem society has finally developed into an open society.53. what do most americans do to protect privacy? a. they change behaviors that might disclose their identity.b. they talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.c. they rely more and more on electronic equipment. d. they use various loyalty cards for business deals.54we can infer from paragraph 2 that _. a. criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology b. people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age c. in the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets d. peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge55according to the passage，privacy is like health in that _.a. its importance is rarely understoodb. it is something that can easily be lostc. people will make every effort to keep itd. people dont treasure it until they lose it cscience fiction writers create imaginary worlds.the way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science.so its important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation.for example，if youre writing about human living on a planet with zero gravity，then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds.and you have to follow them.if humans are able to breathe underwater in chapter 1，your character cant drown in a swimming pool in chapter 3.the issue here is maintaining your readers trust.that means the reader is willing to pretend along with you.if you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter，you will pull the readers out of their imagination.the same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds in great detail.you should decide the following issues: the history of the world，the geography，what possibilities it offers，how everything works in this new reality，and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think，feel，and react to things.you dont have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter.but you have to let readers know enough to understand whats going on.this also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.when you are writing，remember to make it feel real.you are inviting readers to visit a new world.they will want to be able to see，hear，feel，smell，and even taste what its like.whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet，help your readers feel like theyre actually there.56whats the relationship between actual science and science fiction?ascience fiction promotes the development of actual science.bscience fiction often reflects the development of actual science.cactual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.dactual science provides basic principles for science fiction.57the second paragraph is mainly developed by_.amaking comparisonsbgiving examplescfollowing the time orderdanalyzing causes58which of the following statements is true?ait is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.bit is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.creaders of science fiction actually pretend the writers rules are true.dit is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.59the target readers of the passage are_.ayoung scientistsbscience fiction writersccollege studentsdprofessional journalists60the passage is mainly about_.ahow to do scientific researchbhow to raise interest in sciencecwhat to expect from science fictiondhow to write science fiction dkelly reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water.panic moment! she quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on，but nothing worked.her first reaction? she got dressed，drove to the nearest store，and bought a new mobile phone at full price.a new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness.about 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”interestingly，more women worry about losing their phone than men.fortunately，theres a solution.the first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia.checking your phone too often is one thing，but the true sign of a problem is that you cant conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? thats another sign of a problem.if you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour，or a total of an hour per day，there may be a problem.some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks：leaving the phone behind and not checking email or text messages，and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety.even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress，the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.of course，there are also technological alternatives.luis levy，a cofounder at novy pr，says he uses an application called cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone.to find it，he can just go to a website and see the phones location.he also insures his phone through a service called asurion.the companys description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety：“60 million phones are lost，stolen or damaged each year.youll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family，friends and work，as soon as the very next day！”61why does the author mention kellys experience in th
