An interesting Job
Joe Brown has a very interesting job. He is a police artist. Some people see crimes（犯罪）and then talk to Joe. They tell him what the criminal（罪犯）looks like. Then Joe draws a picture of the criminal, and the police put it in newspapers and on TV to find him.
He wants to draw a good picture of the criminal, but this job is sometimes difficult（困难的）. Many people don’t always see things the same way, so they describe（描述）the same person differently. Also, they don’t always remember well. “The criminal is not tall and young. He has long brown hair and big eyes,” says one woman. Another woman says, “He is tall and thin, and he has blond hair. He’s about thirty years old.” In the end, the real（真正的）criminal is a short and heavy old man, and he has short black hair!

【推荐1】In class, students are sharing their dream jobs.
Jacob: I'd like to be a mountain-climbing guide for several reasons. Number One, mountain climbing is very exciting. Mountain-climbing guides get to climb tall, dangerous mountains, right? Number Two, I enjoy working outdoors and helping others. Number Three, mountain-climbing guides travel widely and meet many fun people.
Fred: My choice is to be a vet（兽医）. Why? I like animals. Animals bring a lot of joy to our lives, but they ask for little in return. I also enjoy helping animals and their owners feel better. Pet owners are happy when their pets are well. Finally, vets get to work with other people who like animals.
Anne: Ha, my dream job? An accountant （会计）! I think it's interesting. I'm good at numbers, you know, and I also like helping people manage their money. Good accountants are well paid, and I want to manage my own money, of course. But the most important of all, accountants mostly work alone, and I like to work alone.
Jessica: I'd like to become an animator（动画片制作者）and make films like Toy Story, Shrek, and Cars. You see, I love drawing and I love working on computers. I'd like to help people relax and enjoy their life. Animators can make a lot of money, too.

| Gemma Lyons, 15 Job: I’m not interested in going to college when I leave high school, but I’m not going to work in an office or a shop. I’ll get a job outdoors if I can. I like planting trees and flowers, so I’ll probably look for a job as a gardener. Home: One day I’ll get a house of my own. I enjoy my life in this small English town. |
| Nick Sanderson, 16 Job: I think I’ll go to college. For me, studying science is more interesting than history, languages and everything. I’d like to get a job that helps the environment. There’s a lot of competitions for jobs like that, but I think I can make it. Home: I’ll probably share a house with other students at college. After that, I’m not sure where I’ll live, maybe here in the UK, or maybe in other countries, such as Singapore and Canada. China will be my top choice if I can work and live abroad (国外). |

【推荐1】Swans are also called the Great White Swans, a major characteristic shape of birds, the greatest length of 1.5 metres and weighing more than 15 kilograms can be. Their wingspans (翼幅) can be over 3.1 metres.
Swans usually have white body feathers, a black or yellow mouth and black nose. They have a long thin neck. They are also heavy-bodied, big-footed birds. They are larger than the geese. Immature birds wear mottled (斑驳的) gray or brown feather for two or more years. Adults also have an unfeathered skin between the eyes and mouth.
Young swans are able to run and swim for a few hours after they were born, but they also need to be carefully looked after for several months. Swans mature (成熟) in the third or fourth year and may live for 20 years in the wild and 50 years or more in captivity (圈养).

【推荐2】“You don’t listen!” says your friend.
When you answer, “But I do. I can repeat every word you just said!” It doesn’t seem to be good enough.
“No,” she says, “you don’t listen.”
What’s wrong? Scientists tell us that words give us only 35 percent of what we mean. The rest? Body language. In other words, you may hear the words but not the “tune”.
Body language. You know about the hitchhiker’s thumb. That sign is clear. But what is the sign for a pretty girl? An Arab strokes his beard（捋胡须）. An Italian pulls on one of his ear lobes（耳垂）. An Englishman looks slowly away.
Body language, if you look for it, is all over the place.
When two people like each other, they show it. They hold their bodies straighter. Eyes are bright. Skin may be pinker. And each preens. The girl works with her hair. The boy combs his hair, straightens his tie—or his shirt—and pulls up his socks.
When you are looking at the other person, you show interest. When you fail to make eye contact, you give the impression that the other person is of no importance.
Words are only part of talking. The rest takes in body movements, dress, eye contact, and, of course, the tone of the voice. Recently I went to a meeting of some teachers. Two teachers were arguing. What the lady was saying was polite enough. Her voice, though, gave her away. It kept getting higher and angrier by the minute. She was saying—in words—that there were two sides to the matter. But what she was really saying—with her tone of voice—was “I hate you!” When the man told her that she was showing anger by her voice—and her whole body—she did not agree. She was not aware of her real feelings. But her body language told the story.
1. We come to know about ________ for a pretty girl in different places.| A．one sign | B．two signs | C．three signs | D．four signs |
| A．didn’t hear what the person said to you | B．didn’t get the person’s real message |
| C．didn’t listen to the person | D．didn’t notice the person’s tone of voice |
| A．telling each other about it | B．holding their bodies straight |
| C．looks and dress | D．body language |
| A．body language and words are both important | B．body language helps people understand others fully |
| C．there are different kinds of body language | D．it’s important to know some examples of body language |
【推荐3】A lot of people like taking a trip with no plans. They think it is very exciting and has more fun. But in fact, it is not good. Making vacation plans is very important.
First, a vacation plan can make sure that everything goes well. If you visit a place but you don’t book a hotel, you may have no place to stay at night.
Second, you have lots of things to take with you for a vacation. You need to plan what things you have to buy and what things you need to put in bags. For example, you want to visit one place, but when you arrive at the airport(机场), you forget to bring your plane ticket! You may be late for the plane.
Third, making a vacation plan can help you save a lot of money. No one wants to spend more money than they want to. If you surf the Internet before you go on a vacation, you may find some cheap plane tickets and hotel rooms.
Next time when you go on a vacation, try to write down some plans. They can help you have more fun in your vacation.
