Most people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals.Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals.2-1-c-n-j-y
Marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself!The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business.Of course,this is absolutely not true.People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.
In every attempt you make,just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool.The better you market yourself,the more opportunities you will have.Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.It simply means telling your prospective employer you exist and that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes.Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself.But there are only two primary approaches that you implement(实施).The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for people to find you and make connection with you.21世纪教育网
In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others,you have to be a good person and a good employee.In that way your good reputation will follow naturally.Have a brief and concise(简明) message that you can share with others.When you market yourself,you tell people who you are and what you can do for others.Plan well and practice your message.
In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you,you must be open to them.Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself.You also communicate by what you are wearing.Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear.Just remember to make a great first impression!
36.According to the passage,in general people tend to think marketing yourself ______.
A.is a very useful tool B.will make you have more opportunities
C.is nasty and concerns only to a business D.is natural
37.In order to market yourself well,you can do these things except______.
A.praise yourself greatly B.wear appropriately
C.have a brief and clear message D.be open to others
38.It can be concluded from the passage that ______.21*cnjy*com
A.there are only two ways of marketing yourself
B.communication plays an important part in marketing yourself
C.you needn't spend plenty of time deciding what you will wear
D.marketing yourself simply means telling your employer you can make more money than him
39.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.Achieving Your Goals B.Knowing the Appropriate Dress
C.Ways of Marketing Yourself D.Marketing Yourself
B
Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow,failure and success,hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role in our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go hayward(误入歧途) and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life,our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care;they teach us about what is right and wrong,good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived,but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' faces gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair.But these things are temporary and will pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky,teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money,fame,pride and selfrespect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble,modest,courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour,because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same;we have only one choice that is to keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday,for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown,for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today,so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
40.In which section can readers probably read the passage?
A.Opinions. B.Politics. C.Education. D.Lifestyles.
41.How is the passage organized?21世纪教育网
A.In order of rules. B.In order of frequency.
C.By making comparison. D.In order of importance.
42.What's the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?
A.If you work hard,you'll have a better life in the future.
B.When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”,you'd better enjoy tomorrow better.
C.What you only can choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow.
D.Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice.
43.What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to love each other.
B.To tell people how to deal with happiness and sorrow.
C.To remind people of keeping having a beautiful dream.[来源:21世纪教育网]
D.To give readers some information about life.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure,teachers,parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves,“Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination.A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails.In my opinion,the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.Therefore,I believe that we should never give up.21cnjy.com
One reason is that if we give up too easily,we will rarely achieve anything.It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new,so we should not feel disappointed and should try again.Besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones.If we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals,we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.If we never challenge ourselves,we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short,it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals.Whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something,and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident.Furthermore,if we give up,we have no chance of attaining our goals any more,but if we keep making great efforts,there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
Topic:Never Give Up
Possible meanings and the author's opinions
·The words “Never give up” can 44.______ others or oneself and express one's determination.
·A person who wants to 45.______ should have the quality.So we should never give up.

参考范文:
Nowadays,many school children are addicted to computer games.Every day after school,they go to the Internet bar to play computer games until late at night without letting their parents and teachers know,and they often have a competition to see who wins more scores in each game.
Let me take Tom for example.Tom used to like computer games very much and spent a lot of time on them.However,an incident changed him completely.Once,Tom didn't go home until eleven o'clock at night.When he got home,he told his mother that he had been reviewing his lessons.Poor mom!She believed him and cooked a nutritious meal for him.“Take more care of yourself as you work too hard,my dear son.” She said to Tom.But Tom's face turned red at his mother's praise.He realized that he was wrong,and he made up his mind to study hard at his lessons.Later,he did become a good student and was often praised by his teachers and parents.
As the saying goes,“It is better late than never.” All students should concentrate on studies instead of computer games.
