1 . There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.

Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.

Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion of others can hold back your true spirit.

Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.

Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don't know where it will lead, but I'm excited I'm on this pursuit.”

These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.

1. To become a specialist, one may have to_______.
A.avoid responsibilities at workB.narrow his range of knowledge
C.know more about the societyD.broaden his perspective on life
2. According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ________.
A.is fully aware of his talent and abilityB.is a pure specialist in medicine
C.brings knowledge of other fields to workD.should love poetry and philosophy
3. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A.Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
B.Passion alone does not ensure a person's success.
C.In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
D.Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
4. What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Specialist or Generalist: Hard to DecideB.Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
C.Ways to Become a GeneralistD.Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist

文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。

3 . By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare  time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside   the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music   when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.

Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.

But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to   help her out on stage.

“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”

1. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A.Read music.B.Play the piano.
C.Sing songs.D.Fix the instruments.
2. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A.Boring.B.Well-paid.
C.Demanding.D.Dangerous.
3. What does Titterton need to practise?
A.Counting the pages.B.Recognizing the “nodding”.
C.Catching falling objects.D.Performing in his own style.
4. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”?
A.He has very poor eyesight.B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music.D.He forgets to do his job.

6 . To help you be persistent (坚持不懈的) in the face of "noes" in the job interview, I'd like to share a few rules that I've learned.

    1    .It's just an interview. Pull emotion out of "noes" and don't allow yourself to feel rejected because someone only rejects your application. A "no" does not mean that you weren't qualified for a job. As I mentioned earlier, it might have been a case of bad timing.

Don't shy away from being persistent. Persistence in the face of challenges, failures and unexpected situations is the mark of a good employee-and future employers notice that.    2    .

Be respectful. You won't get anywhere if you respond to a "no" with a hurt or bitter response.    3    .Don't burn bridges. And don't be rude and contact employers or people in charge every five minutes. This advice is especially important now because there will likely be even more "noes" during this period, as well as a delayed timeline on responses. In times of crisis, you should wait even longer to follow up with prospective employers. Even so, you should be even more respectful in your responses.    4    , let the other party know that you are still interested in working with them in the future.

I will continue to receive "noes" throughout my life, as will you.    5    . I've built up my resistance to "noes" by being persistent—and for me, that's been an important element of my career advancement and professional development.

A.Honor employers
B.But I'm not afraid of them
C.Don't take rejection personally
D.Even if the final response is "no"
E.Whenever I get a "no", I will get impatient
F.In casę you make the wrong choice in the job interview
G.There's nothing wrong with sending them a follow-up email

7 . One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honourable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”

During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known former advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high-level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, dealing with half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.

The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Cassius’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organizing.

Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programs contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.

Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business when and how do you resist the boss?

1. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
A.Cruel.B.Superior.C.Honourable.D.Rude.
2. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ________.
A.help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays better
B.give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s plays
C.provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshops
D.guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays
3. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?
A.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
B.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D.To warn executives against power misuse.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the Adelmans’ program proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays
C.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field

8 . When I arrived in London, I couldn't speak a word of English. Not even "hello". I was 18. I'd been working for my dad's restaurant in Milan and I wanted a new experience. My friend from home lived in London and he used to tell me how incredible it was. I was really bored, so I took my luggage and left.

I was so lost when I arrived at Stansted. To me, English sounded like Chinese. I only arrived with a few hundred pounds. I lived with my friend in East London for a while. I couldn't find a job for a month. Finally I found a waiter role in a restaurant. At the time, I had nothing else going on in my life. I used to get up, go to work, and sleep. It was no difference every day. Then one day on my lunch break, I saw a Gymbox. When I took a look in, there was an amazing Muay Thai (泰拳) class. I used to do boxing when I was 15 but I wasn't that serious about it. There and then I joined the gym and signed up for the Thai boxing team.

I fell in love with it. I never missed a session (一场) . I started training a lot and the head coach said to me one day, "Do you want to fight?" I knew that's what I wanted to do. He put me in competitions and I won my first nine amateur games. After watching me progress, he offered to help me fight professionally. However, at one point I had a motorcycle crash and was out for 18 months. This year I've fought in Milan and London. I'd say I'm about 12 fights away from becoming a winner

Sometimes I can't believe how far I've come from that day I arrived in England. I think everything that's happened has been because I'm committed. But anyone could do it. If you put in 100%, you'll get there. I'm just happy because I did a positive thing with my life. It feels good.

1. What had the writer done before he came to London?
A.He had worked in a restaurant.B.He had been a professional coach.
C.He had worked in a small company.D.He had done nothing but travel around.
2. How was the writer's life at first in London?
A.Exciting.B.Scary.C.Satisfying.D.Dull.
3. What influenced the writer's life most?
A.Joining the boxing team.B.Losing the competition in Milan.
C.Suffering from a motorcycle crash.D.Being the head coach of the team.
4. What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph?
A.Life is not all roses.B.Difficulties make him stronger.
C.Failure is the mother of success.D.Devotion makes him successful.

9 . What is a Food Critic

A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money.     1    However some may also engage in more general food writing.

Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth.     2    A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food, from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes. Food critics also have very well-developed palates, and they may specialize in a particular area.

    3    Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers, or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic. A handful of critics become well known and well respected, with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.

Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously, so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings.     4     Implications of favoritism or bribery can ruin the reputation of a food critic.

This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality.     5    These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.

A.Food critics have the right to score the restaurant.
B.It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food.
C.Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important.
D.Therefore, they can learn about every aspect of the food industry.
E.After considering all aspects of the dining experience, they generate ratings.
F.Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants.
G.Once a food critic has gained experience, he or she can start writing articles for magazines and newspapers.

10 . The effects of working while attending school or college

Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.

Why do students look for employment?     1     Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.

Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all.     2    

However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.

    3     Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to train the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating.     4     As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.

To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.

    5     In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.

A.The main cause is financial pressure.
B.Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C.The government has increased funding for higher education.
D.They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E.Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F.Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G.So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.
