Considering the fast-changing world, it’s great to know the possible job options in the future. The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.
Personal education guide
Compared with online programs today, education could better meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.

Doctors may expect individualized organs grown or 3D printed using their patients’ own cells. After all, scientists’ creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts including skin and ears have been grown.
Pharmaceutical artisan (制药师)
The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of the medicine based on individual needs. It’s possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one’s unique genes, habits, and medical history.
Brain implant specialist
We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it’s highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience (神经科学) with the advantages of computer technology.

“I’m going to fail!” My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can’t accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once I was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn’t worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn’t always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.
Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running , so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can’t imagine how excited I was.
I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now it’s clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It’s not an end — it can be a beginning.
24．What can we learn about the author’s best friend from the first two paragraphs
A．She liked taking tests. B．She was afraid of failures.
C．She often failed in study. D．She knew how to be perfect.
25．What did the author finally get from a failed cooking
A．Bad feelings. B．Worries.
C．A closer friendship. D．More experience.
26．Why did the author feel excited after the running test
A．Because she could work out regularly.
B．Because she received honey as a reward.
C．Because she got another chance to take the test.
D．Because she achieved success after many failures.
27．The underlined word overcome in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_________.
A．successfully deal with B．quickly respond to
C．narrowly escape from D．eagerly come up with
C
When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠) his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your own business ” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do？”
“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other snag (障碍)．But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate (土地, 地区) where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.
28. Boris started his career by ________.
A. cycling around the town B. developing a waste ground
C. fixing cycles D. buying empty shops
29. Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because ________.
A. it was not so expensive B. he had a lot of old customers there
C. he could make good use of his skills there D. there were good opportunities there
30. We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris _________.
A. set off in a successful career B. still couldn't make good profits
C. found a lot of gold coins by accident D. had great difficulty running his business
31.Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage
A. Goodwill is the key to success B. The world is a money-locker
C. No education, no future D. Difficulty of starting a small business
D
Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of sill artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the various at styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy（发霉）. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of sill fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons（偶像）such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup, are resonating（产生共鸣）with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
32. What is special about Dough Figurine Lang
A. It reflects Beijing’s culture. B. It is created by many famous artists.
C. It shows people’s lifestyles and beliefs. D. It is popular with both tourists and the locals.
33. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines
A. To make dough figurines taste good. B. To keep colors brighter and last longer.
C. To better preserve the finished products. D. To help shape dough into various forms.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Suggestions for other folk artisans. B. Different art styles of dough figurines.
C. Lang Jiaziyu’s achievements as an artisan.D. The popularity of modern dough figurines.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To call on people to master a skill.
B. To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.

One day, my brother and I were in our apartment. My parents had both gone for a party and had left me in charge of everything. I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV. All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Ding dong! Ding dong! My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door. We both thought that our parents had come home. As a result, he unlocked the door and opened it.
Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He looked no different from other people and said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them.
Without thinking, my brother said，“No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books(漫画书), which he was selling. I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents’ permission. However, it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention to enter our house.
Then, I realized something terrible would happen. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He forced me to tie up my brother’s hands with the rope which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but tied it in a special way so my brother could untie(解开) it himself as we often did. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen.
Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied it for me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右。

The doors were all locked from the outside and what’s more, I did not have the keys.
Just at the same time our parents came back home.

The doors were all locked from the outside and what’s more, I did not have the keys. But luckily, the man forgot to lock the window of the kitchen. Both my brother and I managed to get out of the house through the window and we ran to the nearby police station and asked them for help. The police arrived at our house as soon as possible. And as a result, the man was caught.
Just at the same time our parents came back home. The police asked my family to go to the police station. At the police station the police told us that the man was a wanted robber, who pretended to sell comic books and they had been looking for him for a long time. The police praised my brother and me for our bravery. After we went back home, I told my parents the whole story. They were thankful that we didn’t get hurt but they scolded me for not stopping my brother from opening the door to strangers. I learned a lesson on safety and responsibility.
