B
Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social(
社会的
) experience, I became a door-to-
door salesman(
销售员
). I once read a saying, “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be
treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t, you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may
think this an exaggeration(
夸张
), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.
You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand(
忍
受
) doubtful(
疑惑的
) looks and not to say that it is quite right; you needn’t worry about being
refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience(
耐心
) and a smile; you needn’t repeat
the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…
I did this work for months, then I decided to give it up. Besides the reasons above, I found I was
paying too much attention to the job and thus losing my study time. The latest test result proved
that my grades were getting worse. Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in the
college(
大学
) activities. Sometimes I felt tired and unhappy because of both my study and my
part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning
money it came at great cost(
代价
).
Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work
while also keeping high scores in class. But according to(
根据
) my experience, part-time work can
have strong negative influences(
负面影响
) on study.
Most students don’t consider(
考 虑
) the relationship between study and work correctly. In my
opinion, if it isn’t a must for money, students should be careful about doing part-time work.
5. What made the writer give up his part-time job?
a. His grades were getting worse.
b. He did the job for a month.
c. He was once a salesman.
d. He often missed some college activities.
e. Sometimes he felt tired and unhappy.
A. b, c & d B. a, c & e C. a, b & e D. a, d & e
6. The writer thought _________.
A. doing a part-time job was unnecessary
B. part-time jobs had good influence on study
C. it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work
D. part-time jobs would be good for every college student
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Part-time Jobs are Useful
B. Part-time Jobs can Cost Dear (
昂贵
)
C. Part-time Jobs are Important to Many Students
D. Students shouldn’t have Part-time Jobs
C
A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San
Francisco. A street
musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day, was playing the
saxophone on a street comer. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his
performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked
her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(
小号
) lessons and
played in her junior high school band(
乐 队
), he said, "That's fine, little lady. Learn your
instrument well and you can play anything."
Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as proper not only for a trumpet player but
also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want---not just newspapers
and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism, military history---
whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited(
限制）
in any way. If
you have the vocabulary-or at least a good dictionary near at hand--you can pick up a book,
concentrate on it, and made sense of the author's words.
In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students
sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments,
armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss
of confidante. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they
were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish(
完成
) several tasks: to
show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with
reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.
8. The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to _____.
A. the importance of reading
B. the connection (
关联
) between playing instruments and reading
C. the necessity of learning to play an instrument
D. the variety of reading materials
9. It can be inferred (
推断
)from the story that ______.
A. Clifford was good at playing the saxophone
B. the author's friend was once a street musician
C. the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly
D. Clifford was a good music teacher
10. We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills _______.
A. is directed to elementary school students
B. centers around vocabulary building skills
C. aims (
目的）
at helping students read better
D. offers elementary reading skills
