AWhen I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee, and I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever wa lked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag (摇摆) its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, b ut it’s been a gu idepost (路标) for me and the foundation of who I am.It’s not just something I believe in; it becomes a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑微的) they may be.At w ork, I always said hello to the founder of the company and asked him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”I’ve become vice president, but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.21. What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?A. He talked with somebody else.B. He ignored him.C. He was attracted by a dog.D. He greeted him politely.22. How did the company founder reply to the author?A.He invited him to coffee.B. He played a jokeC. He laughed at himD. He inspired him.23. What does the author think of saying hello to people?A.It can build connections with others.B. It’s a way to earn much money.C. It’s a m ust to become a president.D. It can bring him what he wants.BThe state of Colorado has four of the 58 national parks in the United States. These have been judged the best places of all the national parks.Black Canyon (峡谷) of the Gunnison National ParkThis park lies in western Colorado and offers the most impressive views from up in the mountains into th e canyons below. While exploring the canyons, you will find that the walls drop nearly straight down into very narrow valleys with shake-like rivers below. Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area.Rocky Mountain National ParkIt is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado. Elevations (高地) in this park you will find are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak. While traveling throughout this park, you will find there are two very different climates because of the fact that the tops of the Rocky Mountains make a difference. With 359 miles of trails for hiking, there are a lot of places for camping, horseback riding and just enjoying the sights of nature.Mesa Verde National ParkThis is probably the most interesting of all the national parks, offering an extremely interesting trip back in time to 600 A.D. Up to 1300 A.D..This park was declared (宣布) a pro tected national park in 1906 because of the cliff dwellings (住人的崖洞) that were found throughout the park area, which was once home to American Indians. Visitors canactually walk through these dwellings, and they may imagine what each room may have been used for so many years ago.Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National ParkThe Great Sand Dunes National Park lies in south central Colorado, about 127 miles from Pueblo. This park has the tallest sand dunes in all of North America, with trails for hiking. Natural sandy beaches there are good for people who want to swim around the small rivers and lakes.24.

This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your bodylanguage. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean (倾斜) forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.28. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers _____.A. what a good first impression isB. how to make a good first impressionC. how long it takes to make a first impressionD. the importance of making a good first impression29.

Go into the room more slowly than usual.D. Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.30. If you lean forward too much, it means _____.A. you are very boredB. you are too nervousC. you don’t have confidenceD. you don’t trust others31. What is the best title for the text?A. How to use body language to win an interviewB. How to answer questions in an interviewC. How to understand body languageD. How to deal with an interviewerDIn China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, b ecause the countryside is much poorer that the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, man y people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very diffe rent and aren’t always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.32. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?A.The countryside is much poorer than the city.B. People in the countryside have nothing to eat.C. People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there.D. Services in the cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.33. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?A.Because they will find good jobs.B. Because they are tired of living in the city.C. Because they can make more money there.D. Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows_______.A.They are happy to move back to the city.B. They miss their friends in the countryside.C. They still want to move to the countryside.D. They are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city.35. The best title of this passage may be “_______”.A. A happy life!B. Living in the city!C. Moving back!D. Living in the countryside!第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
