A
"I'm ready." said Alyssa Carson,a now 17-year-old astronaut-in-training from Baton Rouge,Louisiana.For her,riding the most aggressive（刺激的）roller coaster in the park is not a big deal.If all goes according to her plans,NASA will send her to Mars in 2033，making her the first human to step foot on the planet.She will spend two to three years doing something on it,growing food,performing science experiments,and searching for signs of life."The Martian is actually very accurate." she said,"A lot of the things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen." She's devoted her entire life to preparing for this journey.
Her love for space started when she was 3 years old and watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans.Five animal friends go on imaginary adventures in their backyard including in one part,a mission to Mars. "I thought 'This red planet is so cool,'" she said. "I started watching videos of rovers' landing on Mars.I had a large map of Mars in my room I would look at.We started getting telescopes so we could look at space."
At 7 her father took her to space camp in Huntsville,Alabama. "That was the weekend of my life," she said. "I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and more...I got to see a life-size rocket." She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times.At the age of 12 she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville,Alabama；Quebec,Canada；and Izmir,Turkey.
At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time.As she got older she simulated（模拟）missions,trying to reach a destination in gravity-free,weightless zones.
When she was 9 she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus.The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space.At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby."I did the same thing as other kids,like switching my mind about careers,wanting to be a teacher or the president one day," she said. "But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut,go to Mars,come back,and then be a teacher or the president."

You may have come across several "strange " cultural practices；some would provide you with fear,while others would leave you astonished.The wife-carrying competition in Finland belongs to the latter one.
Strange as it might sound,wife-carrying is a real sport in Finland.In fact,it is a highly competitive sport in which male competitors race while each carrying a female teammate.The objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle（障碍） track in the fastest time.The length of the official track is 253.5 metres with two dry obstacles and a water obstacle about one metre deep.
The first modern-day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1992 and foreign competitors gained admission in 1995.This event is now held annually in Sonkaj rvi ，Finland as the World Championship.
Although many might consider the sport a joke,competitors take it very seriously.Like every serious sport,the wife-carrying competition also has its guidelines which are set by the International Wife-Carrying Competition Rules Committee.While the International rules are the basis for all competitions,rules and prizes do vary for each competition.
It is not mandatory that you must be legally married to the "wife" to be carried,she may even be your neighbour's wife or even someone you met during the competition；she must,however,be over 17 years of age.And her minimum weight must be 49 kilograms；otherwise,she will be burdened with a rucksack（沙袋）containing additional weight to bring the total load to be carried up to 49 kg.All participants must enjoy themselves.Yes,that is also one of the rules.
Special prizes go to the most entertaining couple,the best costume,and the strongest carrier.And for the grand prize,the wife's weight in beer goes to the couple who completes the course in the shortest time.Whether you win or lose,the good thing is the sport encourages team spirit among couples.
4. Which can't be used to describe the wife-carrying competition？ ______
A. Serious. B. Fearful.
C. Astonishing. D. Competitive.
5. What is true about the competition？ ______
A. The first event was in 1992.
B. The rules are flexible for each competition.
C. The official track is 253.5 metres long and 1 metre deep.
D. By no means can wives weighing less than 49 kg participate in it.
6. What does the underlined word "mandatory" in paragraph 5 mean？ ______
A. Necessary. B. Important.
C. Possible. D. Strange.
C
Quite often,no matter how good you are,your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss,peers,clients and customers notice your communication and responses.So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back,how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want.
Psychological research repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help you or not based on whether they like you or not.It is human nature.What can you do about it？You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want.Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best.In fact,most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone.These are called first impressions or "moments of truth."
Once they make up their minds,they tend to be very unwilling to change their opinions.You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance.Therefore,whether you are applying for a job,going for an interview,attending a meeting with your boss or peers,or serving a customer,you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse（排练）how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction.This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to deal with them if the other party（另一方）raise them unexpectedly.
It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning.The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it.Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not mean that candidates can succeed in making a good first impression.
7. What is the passage mainly about？ ______
A. Persuading people to like you. B. Making a good first impression.
C. People making the key difference. D. Useful tips for a job interview.
8. What would people do when they like you according to Paragraph 2？ ______
A. They would pay much attention to your good qualifications.
B. They would prefer to ignore your weaknesses.
C. They would change their opinions frequently.
D. They would be willing to offer chances.
9. Which of the following tips might help in an interview according to the author？ ______
A. Know as much as possible about the situation.
B. Ask the interviewers for homework to do.
C. Show your friendliness and confidence.
D. Do something unexpected to impress interviewers.
10. What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage？ ______
A. Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.
B. How to win over people who don't like you at first.
C. Some practical advice to help making a good first impression.
D. Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.

Math class was next.Ralphie was pretty good at math,so he started to cheer up.He had done his homework,so when Mrs.Addison asked for a student to solve a problem at the blackboard,Ralphie didn't hesitate.
He jumped out of his seat and announced in a loud voice, "I volunteer as Tribute!" His friends burst out laughing.Mrs.Addison looked at him strictly over the tops of her glasses.Uh-oh,thought Ralphie.
"We do not yell in math class,Ralph.Not another sound out of you,young man." She turned back to the board.
"It's from The Hunger Games …" he tried to explain.
"That's quite enough!Detention,Ralph." The math teacher reached for her pile of detention paper and wrote his name down. "After school.Don't be late."
"Oh man," murmured Ralphie. "How do I go to two detentions at the same time？"
When the bell rang at the end of the day,Ralphie went to see Mr.Hudson first.The teacher told Ralphie to sit down.The boy did so,and folded his hands in his lap for a minute or two.Then he raised one and said, "Sir？Can I be excused to go to the washroom？" Mr.Hudson nodded.
