1 . Constructing an impressive and visually appealing resume (简历) can be challenging, but a few strategies can help you use your resume as a showcase of what makes you the best candidate for a job. Learning what to include in a resume can help you build a resume that will impress hiring managers.     1    

Give your contact information. The first item on your resume should be your first and last name, a phone number and an email address. You can also include your address, whether it’s the full mailing address or just your city and state.     2    

    3     The work experience section of your resume should be more than a simple list of your previous positions. It should also effectively describe your work experience to enhance your candidacy. If you are seeking your first job, for example, you may not have any previous professional experience to include, but you can include relevant internships or volunteer work.

Include your education. Most jobs require at least some education, and employers seek this information on your resume. List your highest level of education completed first, then subsequent degrees and diplomas (文凭).     4     When entering a degree or diploma you are currently completing, add the date you began pursuing it and leave the end date blank.

List relevant skills. Near the end of your resume, you should include a section for any skills that may be relevant and can enhance your appeal as a candidate.     5     Soft skills may be abilities such as communication or leadership while hard skills could be computer programs or technical knowledge.

A．Add your work experience.

B．Explain your achievements and awards.

C．You may also choose to include any active licenses or certifications.

D．Follow these steps to show employers you are the best fit for their position.

E．When including your skills, choose both hard and soft skills that relate to the role.

F．When potential employers review your resume, they frequently go through it quickly.

G．Many companies prefer to hire local employees to reduce relocation time and expenses.

2 . Los Angeles residents Joe Blackstone and Jamie Mohn have long recognized the lasting impact storytelling can have on a child’s life. Shortly after getting married, the couple began volunteering to read books to elementary school kids. Then, when they became parents themselves, they created the J3 Foundation to help organizations devoted to children’s growth. But after learning two-thirds of fourth graders who cannot read effectively end up on welfare, Blackstone and Mohn decided to take a more hands-on approach: in 2018, they launched J3’s Cozy Reading Club.

Each session of the two-hour, after-school program is free and includes outdoor activities and a healthy snack. Then, it’s time for some comfortable reading. After teachers read a book aloud and the group talks about the storyline freely, the kids find a spot to sit while grabbing a book of their choice to look through. In the end, they get to choose two books to borrow and take home.

In its first year, J3’s Cozy Reading Club served 15 students in one L. A.-area classroom. As of 2022, it had expanded to 17 schools across four different districts, impacting a total of at least 400 students, the vast majority of whom live in underserved communities. With impressive statistics backing it up 90% of the students have significantly improved their reading scores, and 95% say they’ve started reading for fun since taking part in the program——its founders have much to celebrate.

“Having more than 5,000 culturally relevant books available to them is so exciting. I love it when our students can see themselves and their classmates’ lives reflected in the books they are reading. The hope of changing one kid at a time makes all the work worthwhile,” Blackstone said.

Currently, J3 is in the process of raising $864,000, so the Cozy Reading Club can expand to an additional 24 Los Angeles schools and double its book collection to 10,000. This is worthwhile. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reported that 68% of U. S. fourth graders weren’t skilled at reading in 2022, up from 66% in 2019.

1. What can be inferred about Blackstone and Mohn?

A．They are children’s writers.	B．They teach reading in a school.
C．They value kids’ development.	D．They’ve donated much to charities.

2. What can children do in J3’s Cozy Reading Club?

A．Learn the history of books.	B．Discuss a book’s plot.
C．Cook and have snacks.	D．Buy interesting books.

3. What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about regarding J3’s Cozy Reading Club?

A．Its great achievements.	B．Its various services.
C．Its long-term goals.	D．Its current programs.

4. Why does the author mention NAEP in the last paragraph?

A．To state reading is significant.	B．To show J3 is a necessary cause.
C．To assess J3’s potential abilities.	D．To criticize America’s education.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Babloo was picking color papers and some watercolors while his mum was busy selecting the necessary daily supplies for this month. They both completed their selection of items and went to the checkout to pay the bill. Seetha was surprised to see the bill of Rs. 1000 (卢比), which was more than the budget that she had set. She wanted to return some of the items picked up by Babloo.

“But I like drawing. My teacher always shows my art to the class,” Babloo cried. He usually went to a secret place to work on creative artwork. He knew it was difficult for his parents to earn enough money. He was sure his artwork would be appreciated by the shop-keepers around and that he could give his parents a big surprise.

Seetha decided not to disappoint her son. Back at home, Babloo wanted to eagerly open the boxes and look at those items he had selected. But Seetha asked him to do his homework first. She was a litle worried about what her husband, Ramesh, would say about the additional bill amount.

Ramesh reached home around 7:00 P. M. He was very tired and Seetha offered him a cup of coffee. He was a sales executive. He had to work hard to complete the sales target to save his job in the company.

“We need to save at least a little more amount per month, Seetha. It might help us for any emergency expenses,” said Ramesh with a dull face. “What was the bill amount for this month? I hope that was within our budget.”

Seetha was silent for a moment and asked him to have his coffee first. Ramesh, with worry on his face, asked again, wondering if there was any problem.

“No... no issues at all. Only thing is this week’s spending has gone over the budget.” answered Seetha. “Babloo bought color papers and some watercolors and I did not want to disappoint him.”

10 . Have you ever wondered why different people react differently to the things you say and do? Maybe you told your parents a story that made them laugh, but found that the same story was upsetting to the kids at school. What caused them to react so differently?     1    

Boundaries are the cut-off point between what a person finds funny and charming, and what they find hurtful and inappropriate.     2     You may not always share a person’s boundaries, but it’s still important to respect them.

    3     That’s why it’s especially important to be a good listener when you’re first getting to know someone. Listening will help you get a feel for the topics they are comfortable discussing.     4     If they become withdrawn when you bring up a certain topic, or they try to change subjects, you may be making them uncomfortable. Then it is better to pull back in the conversation, and let them take the lead for a while.

While many people won’t tell you directly that you’ve made them uncomfortable, some people will.     5     In that case, it’s always best to apologize and correct the offensive behavior. Failing to take a step back can create a lot of discomfort for the people around you. Most people can forgive a one-time slip, but you should avoid making the same mistake repeatedly, which can damage a friendship.

A．You aren’t sure of a person’s boundaries.

B．Different people have different boundaries.

C．The gateway to a healthy relationship is boundaries.

D．They may tell you that you’re standing too close to them.

E．Pay attention to the way they react to your ideas and jokes.

F．A person tends to tell you directly if you’ve made a mistake.

G．The answer has something to do with a tricky concept called boundaries.
