5 . Even the kindest, most considerate people complain, and complaining doesn’t always have a negative impact.     1     So, how do you get a person complaining frequently to reduce it, for the benefit of your health and his?

·Change the subject. Some complainers will switch to another topic if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call from an old friend. If your coworker is dissatisfied with your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.    2    

·Be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.       3     You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down —especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.

·    4       When it is someone very close to you who stresses you out with lots of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow annoyed or start avoiding the person.

· Challenge the person to act.    5       This isn’t the usual direction a conversation with annoyance takes, but it may help end his anger. Typically, it’s not about how to fix it –people just want to keep talking about it. If you break that pattern, it puts them off guard, and people usually stop.

A．Have a heart -to -heart talk.

B．Show your interest in listening.

C．The problems start when complaining becomes regular.

D．In a word, get people off the complaint that they are recently making.

E．An excuse such as a work deadline isn’t needed to stop the complaint.

F．Sometimes, complaining can change an unfavorable situation into a more desirable one.

G．When a complainer tells you about his latest problems, encourage him to go to improve them.

6 . Tears not only deliver oxygen and nutrients to our eyes and remove waste, but also contain various chemicals originally present in blood, some of which serve as markers of some diseases. That’s a primary reason why doctors order blood tests. But it also means that physicians – and maybe in the near future, you – can look for indicators of illness by looking at your tears.

Scientists have already found that markers of many serious diseases including cancers are found in tears. And recently, a technology named TearExo has been developed for breast cancer screening using tears collected by patients themselves. That could offer a cheaper way of testing and aid in the earlier detection of deadly disease.

But the potential advantages of tears as indicators of health go beyond occasional testing. One tear-based technology is a small contact lens (隐形眼镜) that continuously monitors a patient’s biomarkers, significantly improving disease prevention and detection. It has attracted the attention of some major companies such as Novartis, and is currently under development in research laboratories around the world.

More recently, a smart contact lens has been successfully developed for continuous monitoring and treatment of diabetic retinopathy (视网膜病变). Such a product probably won’t be ready for commercial use in several years. But according to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 45million people in the U.S already wear contact lens to correct their sight. Switching to a smart version would be simple for them.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential in tears beyond crying. Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. Given the advantage of tear technology, such technology will almost certainly bring about more effective prevention of diseases—rather than having to deal with the difficulty of treating them.

1. In which aspect do people benefit from TearExo?

A．Preventing breast cancer.	B．Saving time for screening tests.
C．Reducing the costs of testing.	D．Detecting some diseases earlier.

2. What can we infer about the smart contact lens?

A．It has a promising future.	B．It can improve patient’s sight.
C．It is available on the market.	D．It monitors eyesight continuously.

3. What is the author’s attitude to tear technology?

A．Doubtful.	B．Approving.
C．Negative.	D．Cautious.

4. Which can be a suitable title of the text?

A．What role do tears play?	B．Tears contain high levels of chemical.
C．How can we prevent tears?	D．Your eyes may save your life someday.

7 . How to Choose the Right Career?

Choosing the right career can be difficult, and consequently you will find many of us can hardly find a suitable job in our daily life.     1    

    2    

Assess your hobbies. It is very easy to turn your hobbies or something you love doing into a future career. Many hobbies are related to real world needs and positions. Consider what you like to do and how that might fit into a career. Remain humble as you work toward your goal.

Assessing your skills

Consider what skills you are good at. If you are particularly good at certain skills, such as fixing things or making things, this can provide you with a great future career, since skilled labor is often in demand and you will find it fairly easy to find work.     3     People who interact with others well can easily get careers as social workers or in marketing and similar business positions.

Considering your current state

Explore yourself. Figuring out what you should do with your life may sometimes require you to get to know yourself better. If you want a career that will really make you happy, you have to have an impressive awareness of what you want and what you enjoy.     4    

Thinking about your future

Examine your future financial security. One of the most important things to consider is if the career path you're choosing will provide you with an acceptable level of financial security. In other words, will you be able to make enough money to support yourself and your family? Meanwhile, you are supposed to pay special attention to your future job stability,     5     Accordingly, you will need to consider if the career you choose is stable enough for you and your desires for the future.

Admittedly, the combination of the above four steps proved extremely effective when choosing the future career. Once you get started, you'll find it quite beneficial and even enjoyable!

A．Evaluating your interests

B．Assessing your personality

C．Therefore, having a defined career direction will help you achieve your goal.

D．Job markets changes a lot as society needs different things at different times.

E．For some people, this means taking some time off to decide what's vital to them.

F．If you have a good command of communicating with others, there are jobs for you as well.

G．However, with serious self-planning and self-reflection, you can set yourself on a path towards a fulfilling career.

8 . I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror. I was wearing white tights, a white leotard, and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes in my dance school's Winter Wonderland show.

“Grandma, I really don't feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked up from what she was sewing. “Why, mo'opuna?” Mo'opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawai'i. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. Then Ms. Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled. And she got to do a dance onstage all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don't like our dance. And no one would notice if I wasn't there. There are so many of us.” “I would notice. So would your parents.”

As Christine walked toward us, Grandma paused and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume!” Christine glided away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand. “What's bothering my Avery?” “And you won't be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes,” I whispered.

Grandma was about to speak. Then something outside the window caught her eye. She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something. “Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “No, mo'opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”

I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently. Like it was new. I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions, sparkling and shining at us. So many snowflakes coming together to create something magical. “Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love,” “hello,” and “good-bye.” “I don't know when I'll see something like that again.” “I do,” I said. I took Grandma Lani's hand and pulled her back inside.

When the stage lights came up and the music started, I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes. I didn't care if Grandma Lani could see me. I was helping her see a snowstorm.

1. What is the part the granddaughter played in the dance?

A．The Snow Queen.	B．A snowflake.
C．A snowstorm.	D．A granddaughter.

2. What can we learn from the text?

9 . Mention the terms Italian culture and Renaissance art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

The Renaissance had a deep effect on the development of European culture. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the Renaissance period applied the humanistic method to every field of study, and wanted to have human emotion and realism in art.

Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for reforming and perfecting their worldly knowledge. However, that does not mean that they refused religion. In fact, many of the greatest works of the Renaissance period were devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of Renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.

In Raphael’s The School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars with Leonardo da Vinci given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1266-1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the Renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.

However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377-1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective (透视法) was formally accepted as an artistic technique.

1. What makes Italy stand out in a way in world history?

A．Its artists during the Renaissance were numerous.	B．It was the center of the European countries.
C．It had many famous inventors in different fields.	D．It was home to the Renaissance.

2. The underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

A．meaningless and hard to recognize	B．clear and meaningful to guiding people
C．unclear and difficult to understand or see	D．easy to understand but having little meaning

3. When was perspective officially accepted during the Renaissance?

A．After the completion of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

B．After Leonardo da Vinci’s being compared to Plato.

C．After Giotto di Bondone’s paintings were respected.

D．After Filippo Brunelleschi’s completing his writings.

4. The passage aims to tell us ________.

A．Italy’s Renaissance art and artists	B．the famous artists in Italy’s history
C．Italy’s influence on the world in culture	D．the hardships during the Renaissance in Italy
