The most popular surname in Germany and Switzerland is Müller, while in Ukraine, it’s Melnik; both are words for a miller. And in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US, it’s Smith—as in blacksmith, silversmith, locksmith, gunsmith. These names date back as far as the Middle Ages, when a person’s job was such a defining characteristic that it became their literal identity.
How did work become to be so connected with identity—and is it too late to separate our perceptions of self from our professional lives
Historically, most people didn’t get to choose their jobs, says Anne Wilson, a professor of psychology. “It was usually generational—your father was a carpenter, so you were a carpenter,” she says. “Or, you’d just take a job based on the opportunities available.”
Those who let their jobs consume their identities may be doing so at their own expense. When people invest a large amount of their time and energy into their career, explains Wilson, it can lead to a psychological state called “enmeshment”, where the boundaries between work and personal life are blurred.
Wilson points out that doing work you love is not a bad thing, nor is considering what you do for a living an important part of who you are. But she says moving away from a system where people are defined primarily by their jobs will take more than realizing there is a problem. “We often set people up to feel dissatisfied; if they don’t find themselves in that perfect job, they’ve somehow failed,” she says.
“Rather than big, very difficult changes, get hobbies a little at a time, make friends a little at a time,” she suggests. “Ultimately, you have to diversify your life. Diversify yourself.”
24. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the origins of some surnames.
B. To present the most popular surnames in different countries
C. To lead in the topic of relationship between jobs and identity.
D. To compare the difference between surnames in different countries.
25. According to Anne Wilson, how did most people decide their work in the past
A. They inherited it from their families.
B. They chose it themselves.
C. They had to work as carpenters.
D. They chose it based on various opportunities.
26. What does the underlined word “blurred” in Paragraph 4
A. Confused. B. Distinguished. C. Enlarged. D. Formed.
27. In order not to be defined by jobs, what does Wilson suggest people do
A. Make big and difficult changes. B. Feel dissatisfied with themselves.
C. Find right positions in their jobs. D. Enrich their life step by step.
C
Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular and unloved.
My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: the teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn’t do it—I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building.
Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor’s office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times when I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop.
By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home.
Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prince, Jr., was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference He was now a success.
That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet，and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being.
Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I’ve made new friends and reconnected with many from the past.
The anxiety isn’t completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I give myself a chance.
28. The writer’s anxiety attacks were mainly caused by _________.
A. the high school which he attended B. the teacher who asked him to walk
C. the writer himself who was fearful D. his father who left in his childhood
29. The breakthrough of the writer’s treatment came when _________.
A. his mother took him to the doctor B. he read a magazine article
C. his pain finally stopped D. he went to college
30. What did the writer do after following the plan
A. He went to see therapists. B. He returned to high school.
C. He contacted his old friend. D. He didn’t suffer any attacks.
31. The writer wrote this story to tell us ________.
A. anxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment
B. we shouldn’t keep ourselves away from the outside world
C. we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance
D. fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids
D
During those barren winter months, with windows overlooking long-dead gardens, leafless trees, and lawns that seem to have an ashy look about them, nothing calms the uneasy nerves more than the vibrant green of plants surrounding the living spaces of one’s home. People browse through garden stores just to get a smell of chlorophyll(叶绿素) and to choose a plant or two to bring spring back into their winter-grey lives.
Now there is even more of a need for “the green”, in light of recent articles warning us of the dangers of chemicals that we, ourselves, introduce into our homes. Each time we bring clothes home from the cleaners, we release those chemicals into the closed-in air of our homes. Every cleanser releases its own kind of fumes.
Some of the chemicals are formaldehyde(甲醛), chlorine, benzene, styrene, etc. Read the labels on many home products, where the ingredients aren’t even listed! During the winter, when those same windows are shut tight, we breathe in these chemicals—causing symptoms much like allergies. In fact, most people probably dismiss the effects of these chemicals simply as some allergy or other. The truth is that we are experiencing a syndrome that is called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Now, what has this got to do with green plants Everything healthy! Research has been conducted with two types of plants that have actually removed much of these harmful chemicals from the air.
The two plants that seem to be the best bet for ridding one’s home of such chemicals are ferns and palms. These plants release moisture as part of photosynthesis (光合作用) and, as they do, pull chemicals from the air into their leaves. Even NASA has conducted some greenhouse experiments for long-term space exploration. Within hours, their plants (palms) had removed almost all traces of formaldehyde in the room. Both species of plants are ancient, dating back more than a hundred million years. Another trait they share is that they both live long lives, 100 years or more. This we expect from trees, but ferns and palms are plants, which can grow to 65 feet in the proper setting! Even their individual leaves live for one to two years (ferns) and one to nine years (palms). Perhaps it is their primary qualities that have contributed to their ability to purify their environment.
32. Why does the author think we are in greater need of “the green” in our homes
A. To bring our long-dead gardens back to life.
B. To get rid of harmful chemicals trapped there.
C. To make us feel calmer and less worried.
D. To serve as decorations as well as refresh us.
33. What can we know from the passage
A. The source of these chemicals released in our homes hasn’t been identified.
B. The chemicals can be removed immediately the two plants are put into use.
C. People tend to underestimate the effects of the chemical in the closed-in places.
D. People usually buy household products without referring to the labels of ingredients.
34. As for the two plants, their primary qualities friendly to indoor environment include_____
A. the ability to absorb chemicals and live long
B. their adaptability to indoor environment
C. the fast growth and attractiveness of their leaves
D. the release of their moisture and fumes
35. What of the following may be the best title for the passage
A. Hidden Dangers in Your Home B. NASA Experiment Finds the Cure
C. Research in the New Millennium D. Houseplants May Purify Your Home

What Can We See in a Logo
We see hundreds of logos on signs, vehicles, websites, and even on the clothes we wear. All of these logos are designed to attract our attention. 36 However, a recent research supports the idea that remembering what a logo looks like is a very difficult task.
Researchers gave 85 students a simple assignment to draw the logo of a well-known company from memory. Surprisingly, only one student in the study could accurately draw the logo from memory. 37 Researchers have developed a theory that they think might help to explain this blind spot in our memories.
Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize with a quick glance. Yet the frequent exposure to these logos can actually make our brains overlook them. This process is known as “attention saturation(注意力饱和)”. 38
Even though the brain is accustomed to ignoring unnecessary details, it is programmed for recognition. When we see images such as logos over and over again, we become familiar with them. This constant exposure leads to something scientists refer to as “gist memory”, which means that our brains remember the basic idea without all of the details. 39 . In fact, familiarity with a popular logo can even make people feel more comfortable about purchasing or using certain products.
Logos are everywhere we look today. A fancy design or a thoughtful color combination may be a good start for a logo concept, but there are other factors to consider. 40 A clever design may be interesting, but most people will forget the details—especially if our brains have nothing to say about it.
This may be inspiring to logo designers.
People will know the product behind the logo.
This general sense of memory has its own benefits.
So why is it so difficult for people to recall the details of images
They also help us remember a product or service connected to the images.
Our brains actually signal us to ignore information we don’t think we will need to remember.
Logo designers need to know that people will only remember what they believe is worthwhile.

Dear Frank,
I’m writing toinvite you to join us in the Chinese speech contest for foreign studnts which will be held in our school. The activity is scheduled at 8:00 a.m. on January 20th in the lecture hall.
The theme of the speech contest is “Why studying Chinese is a better option”. As China is developing at a fast speed in the world, its language attracts many foreign people. They think that through Chinese, they can gain a better understanding of the splendid Chinese culture. Because there are so many aspects about this language, not only can it open a window to a wider world, but the writing of Chinses itself is a kind of visual art.
I am pretty sure that you are deeply in love with Chinese culture and the language. So I don’t have any doubt that you will give a wonderful and impressive performance. You are expected to sign up at our website first and I’d appreciate it if you could accept our invitation.
