One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along his route. No
problems for the first few stops—a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging
down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and sat down at the back. The
driver was five feet three, thin, and basically mild-mannered. Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he
wasn’t happy about it.
The next day the same thing happened—Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat
down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth.
This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of
him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good
stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong—what’s more, felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” the
driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “Oh, yeah? And why not?” With a surprised look on
his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.”
4. What did Big John do repeatedly?
A. He took advantage of the bus driver.
B. He didn’t pay for the bus ticket.
C. He argued with the bus driver.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D. He signed up for body building courses.
5. The underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph means “_____”.
A. Pleased B. Interested C. Bored D. Annoyed
6. Why did Big John not pay for the bus ticket?
A. He had the ticket to ride the bus.
B. He was strong enough.
C. He forgot paying the ticket.
D. He wanted to take the bus for free.
7. What can be learned from the passage?
A. It is never too late to believe in yourself.
B. Nothing can prevent a person from achieving his goal.
C. Be sure there is a problem firstly before working hard to solve one.
D. It is better to set a goal firstly if you want to succeed.
C
Being an employee at a company has many challenges—you want job satisfaction, a work-life balance and
opportunities for promotion (提升). But most of us want a decent financial reward. We aim to get a good salary to
pay for the essential things in life. But when that’s not enough, we have to do the hardest thing in the world—ask our
boss for a pay rise!
In some companies, a regular annual pay rise is normal. In other firms, workers might get a bonus (津贴) to
reward them for their efforts or for meeting a target. But for some people, a pay increase is something you have to
ask for—and if you don’t ask, you don’t get!
Wage increases have been a sensitive issue in recent years. Due to the global economic recession (萧条),
businesses had to tighten (绷紧) their belts. Most public sector pay in the UK, for example, was frozen for two
years in 2010, and after that rises were capped at 1%—below the rate of inflation (通货膨胀率). But last month the
government awarded them a pay rise above the 2% inflation rate so that teachers, for example, will get a 2.75% salary
boost.
But not everyone is happy at being given a fixed pay rise—they feel they’re worth more and that they deserve
more money. It’s not something we should fear “asking for”, says Pip Jamieson, founder of the professional networking
site, The Dots. She’s told the BBC “No one ever got fired for asking for a pay rise. In fact, rather the opposite—
asking for more money shows ambition and shows you want to stay with the company.”
You need to do your research and find out what kind of pay your job should be getting, perhaps by talking to
your Human Resources department. You’ll need to give good reasons for wanting more money and you’ll still have
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂to keep your increase within your pay grade. Ask for an exact sum and be prepared for some negotiation. Of course,
if you can’t get more cash then there are other benefits you could ask for, such as flexible working or more time off.
But if that gets you nowhere and your boss won’t budge, maybe it’s time to quit and find a new job?
8. According to the article, who might get a bonus in a company?
A. The one doing the regular thing. B. The one achieving a goal.
C. The one deserving a better life. D. The one going to work occasionally.
9. What caused most public sector pay to be frozen in 2010?
A. The decline of global economy. B. The rate of inflation.
C. The fixed pay rise. D. The government policy.
10. What is the author’s suggestion for readers about asking for a pay rise?
A. Ask for money as much as possible. B. Hide your ambition (雄心).
C. Talk to your friends. D. Be ready for negotiation (协商).
11. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A Sensitive (敏感的) Issue B. A Pay Rise Please!
C. Good Reasons for Money D. Ask for Promotion
D
Whenever I talk about personality (个性) in relation to choosing a career, someone always complains like this:
those tests are so stupid．When I was in the sixth grade, I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer．
While I don’t think I would be a very good farmer, the results are probably a lot more accurate (准确) than I’d like
to admit．At the time, it seemed ridiculous—I hated the outdoors and physical work, and was particularly sick of
being dirty or sweaty．Now, though, as I think in terms of personality, it might have had something to do with my
personality: I like long-term planning, working by myself, and being the master of my own fate．
Personality tests are various, and some are complete nonsense． Be careful of any personality test that claims
to be capable of concluding what your dream job is from your favorite food for breakfast, or by the type of animal
you like best．While there are many personality assessments (评估) that are very accurate, I’d love to say that they
are a second (and often expensive) step．The best choice is to find out about yourself for yourself．
Before determining the ways to examine your work preferences, it’s important to know the difference between
liking a topic and liking the work．I once had a young guy who was a third-year marine (海洋的) biology student
at a large state school in Ohio．He applied for and was placed into the Whale Watch program, where he found out
that he became terribly seasick on any kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to
study whales in the wild．
12. What is some people’s opinion on choosing a career through personality tests?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. It is well worth trying． B. It’s unreasonable．
C. It’s of just a little help． D. It might lead to failure．
13. What does the author think of the personality test she took when she was young?
A. She thinks it showed some part of her personality．
B. She admits it forecast her present job accurately．
C. She finds it helpless for her．
D. She has little interest in it．
14. What is the best way to know your personality?
A. Trying your dream job in real practice．
B. Doing accurate personality assessments．
C. Taking personality tests on your favourite things．
D. Knowing and understanding your own character．
15. Why was the marine biology student unsuitable for his job?
A. He liked his major but disliked the job．
B. He felt sick travelling on a boat．
C. He was somewhat afraid of marine animals．
D. He knew little about his preferences．

47. 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。
Mary waited anxiously for her turn in the empty dressing room. Never had she been so nervous before. This
competition was of vital importance to her comeback. “If I can win today,” she said to herself, “I can dance on the
national stage next month.” Three months ago, her left arm was seriously injured in a car accident. After the
medical treatment, she began to recover slowly. She practiced over and over again in order to regain her dancing
skills.
“Hi, Mary,” in rushed her friend Jessica. “How is your arm? Is it going to influence your performance?”
“I guess it can be tolerated for I am to win the match.” said Mary with a determined look.
“Admirable! But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong. She can be your real well-matched
competitor. Come on!”
After Jessica left, Mary decided to practice her most difficult spin (旋转). “If I don’t try harder, I won’t grasp
this chance.” She thought. But her arm began to hurt, making her worried. “Mary, what makes you think you have a
chance tonight?” she said to herself. After the pain was gone, she continued to warm up.
A slim girl hurried in and put down an equipment bag on the chair. Then, she took out her dance dress quickly
and put it on skillfully. Seeing Mary, she smiled politely and said “Hi, I’m Linda. I am the next one to you!” Mary
nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable. “This is just my competitor. Because of her, I may lose tonight.” Her mind
was wandering when Linda let out a scream, “Oh, God, I can’t find my music tape!” Linda searched her bag but in
vain. “It may be missing on the way.” With these words, she then rushed out.
