It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement（公告）board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking (looking for ) workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Y our Parachute (降落伞)?”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources（资源）to help them find the right job.61. By logging on the Craigslist Web site, you can ______.A. sell your old thingsB. do some shopping onlineC. create your own announcement boardD. get useful information about 450 cities62. “What Color is Y our Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job63. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. companies often put job information in local shopsB. the Internet is the most popular tool for job hunters in the USAC. Susan W. Miller’s c ompany is helping people choose careersD. California Career Services mainly serves university studentsBAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yetdisappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while —then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politenes s to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.65. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant66. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time67. A suitable title for this passage wo uld probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsCAn old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining where my new house was，I told him that I had left the key under the doormat．Since I knew it would be quite late before I could get back，I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was kept in the refrigerator（冰箱）．Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house．At the moment，he said，he was listening to some of my records after having had a nice meal．He had found the pan and meat in the refrigerator．Now，he was drinking a cup of tea and hoped that I would join him soon．WhenI asked him if he had any difficulty finding the house，he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat，but luckily，the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window．I listened to all this in great surprise．There is no apple tree outside my window，but there is one by the living room window of my next-door ne ighbor’s house！68．When my friend arrived，I could not go to meet him because________．A．we were not good friends B．I was busy at workC．he had not told me that he would come D．I did not want to see him69．A doormat is a mat______．A．used as a doorB．for cleaning the bottom of shoesC. put up on a door as an ornament（装饰物）D．near a door under which people put their keys70．I listened to my friend’s phone call in great surprise because____．A．he had not waited for me to eat togetherB．he had eaten too much of the foodC．he mistook my neighbor’s house for mineD．he had left the house with the window open71．At last my friend______．A．did not enter my houseB．entered my house after he opened the doorC．entered my house by climbing through the windowD．entered my house with the help of my neighborDPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues （烧烤）for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.72.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? _________.A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.73.On Father’s Day , what do people often do?A. They wear carnationsB. They have outdoor barbecuesC. They attend religious services to honor parentsD. They visit the cemetery74.What do you think “florists” do? _________.A. They sell flowers.B. They make and sell bread.C. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.75.Which do you think is right about “carnation”? _________.A. It has only two kinds of colors.B. It refers to the special clothes people w ear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
