Fruit Picking Work in Australia
Australia has several weather zones and many different crops are grown. This means that there is usually work for fruit pickers somewhere in the country. If you’re interested in picking fruit in Australia, plan well and be prepared to work hard!
Working in the sun
Sunglasses and sun cream are absolutely essential if you want to avoid sunburn. A long-sleeve cotton shirt may not seem appealing, but you will be thankful for it in the heat of the day.
Drinking enough water is crucial. It will save time if you keep your water in something that is attached to your belt so that you can take a drink whenever you need to.
Other requirements
Sometimes, employers don’t supply tools, so you need to use your own. Check first to make sure you have what you need.
Consider taking a music player so that you can listen to music. The days can be long, and it makes the time go faster.
Payment methods
Some farms pay a flat rate (by the hour), but it is not common for work that involves collecting fruit; this type of payment is generally for work in the shed (棚). The other more usual model is the piece rate: your pay depends on the amount of fruit you bring in at the end of the day.

B
I woke at 4 am to a pitch-black hostel room, my eight roommates all still sound asleep at the early hour. I tiptoed out to change, stuffed a cheese roll in my mouth, and dragged the suitcase holding a year of my life to the Kaikoura dolphin-watching tour office. With just a few hours of sleep and more adrenaline (肾上腺素) than I had jumping out of a plane, I double-checked my diving equipment in a rush.
The moment we dove off the water, I was shocked awake. No amount of coffee, tea, or sugar has ever given me such an intense wake-up. It turns out, the ocean is freezing at 5 am, before the sun has risen and in early-spring. Don’t be scared off by the temperature, though, because 5 am is when the dolphins are most playful! For five seconds, I struggled to breathe through the cold. Then, the wetsuit flooded with water and I was warm.
A moment later, I was face to face with a wild dusky dolphin, one of the smallest species of dolphin in the world! As I swam alongside it awkwardly, the dolphin gracefully spun on the surface while creating elegant spirals beneath me. I made strange Dory-esque whale noises to draw the attention of more members, including a tiny baby dolphin no bigger than my calf. He seemed most interested in the strange-looking thing that kept getting trapped in her own “flippers (鳍) ”.
The sun rose, warming my back as I continued to struggle among the most elegant animals in the ocean. The practice of swimming with wild dolphins is banned in the North Island, where the species of Hector’s dolphins are in decline. But in Kaikoura, the practice is thriving and actually helping to restore the dolphin populations. By supporting this adventurous experience, you’re supporting dolphin conservation.
24. How did the author feel when she headed for the tour office
A. Excited. B. Cautious. C. Anxious. D. Unsure.
25. Why did the author become wide awake suddenly
A. Because the diving was scary. B. Because the water was bitterly cold.
C. Because the dolphins were most playful. D. Because the coffee and tea were strong enough.
26. What do we know about the wild dusky dolphin
A. They are strange-looking. B. They are difficult to approach.
C. They are keen on the whale noises. D. They are the smallest dolphins on earth.
27. What’s the passage mainly about
A. A dolphin-watching tour in North Island. B. A tough decision on dolphin conservation.
C. A wild dolphin species threatened by humans. D. An adventurous encounter with wild dolphins.
C
Marketers are often very conscious of the ways that their advertisements can backfire or “go wrong” in the eyes of their audiences. However, this rarely happens and there are virtually no cases where advertising has resulted in a decline in sales.
A psychological reason can account for the cause. It has to do with the mere exposure effect, which basically means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we like it. The mere exposure effect is commonly attributed to Robert Zajonc for the important research that he conducted in the 1960s. His research, and the research of many others, shows that we tend to develop a liking or positive feeling for symbols or items that we see repeatedly.
When we take the mere exposure effect into account, it becomes clear why advertising rarely has a negative impact. Advertising helps to put brand assets (资产), like your logo and color and product and brand characters, in front of people, and the more these assets get in front of people, the more likely people are to develop positive feelings toward these assets and your brand. In fact, the impact of the mere exposure effect has been shown specifically in studies using advertisements, and they have found that students rated a banner ad more favorably when they had previously appeared as a pop up on their computer.
In order to fully take advantage of the mere exposure effect in marketing, marketers should make sure to use recognizable elements within their advertising. In addition, they should make sure that these elements align with what the customer sees when they see the product. This will ensure that your customers will have an easier time noticing the product on the store shelves or on the computer screen and that they will have some familiarity with the brand.
The mere exposure effect is just one of many psychological biases that people use to simplify how they go about the world. Feel free to contact us or sign up for our newsletter to stay in touch with the latest insights in marketing psychology.
28. Which statement will Robert Zajonc probably agree with
A. A familiar song becomes more appealing.
B. We often follow trends to make daily purchases.
C. People are often drawn to something unfamiliar.
D. Advertising with celebrities can increase product sales.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Advertisement creates instant brand love.
B. Logos seen often in advertisements are rarely liked.
C. The banner ad has a significant attraction for consumers.
D. Advertisement uses exposure to develop brand appreciation.
30. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Contribute to. B. Correspond to. C. Differ from. D. Depend on.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A business webpage. B. A news report. C. A psychology textbook. D. A marketer’s diary.

Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment — without the need for any type of wearable.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations (颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the tech to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions as well as respiratory system conditions.
“We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security — no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only,” said Ali Ghara, the lead Ph. D. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
32. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It provides more precise health data than wearables.
B. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
C. It sends the health report to the driver’s phone for review.
D. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver’s health.
33. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara’s words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data. B. AI’s interpretation of medical data is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security. D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
34. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C. Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Ph. D. Students Build USS Enterprise on Wheels B. Drivers Beware: Radar Spying on Your Heartbeats
C. Healthy Driving: Radar Monitors Health in Vehicles D. Radars May Know Your Conditions Before You Do

Sometimes you may notice yourself losing the determination you once had to reach your goals. ____40____ Taking a break doesn’t mean that you are no longer determined, it simply means that you’re giving yourself the chance to rest and return with more energy to work hard towards your goals.
A. Learn from barriers.
B. Increase diversity of possibilities.
C. If this happens, don’t trash your goals, just stop and relax!
D. However, your reward shouldn’t set you back on goal progress.

When you’re a poor kid, you worry a lot about how you look, how much you’re spending on clothes. I had problems. I wore high waters (露脚踝裤). And my shoes Forget about it. I had fake shoes — the kind your mother finds in supermarkets.
“John, here’s one I like! Go find the other one that matches!” My mom shouted in the supermarket. Then, I followed her instruction and found it. However, it was only a three and a half, too small for me. Suddenly, an bad feeling took my heart. As expected, she convinced me that we could cut the toes to fit into it.
So there I am, pants too high, shoes too tight, underwear with holes. I was strange-looking in my neighborhood. It hits me: there is no way to get friends. So I had my mission: become cool. I persuaded myself that I dressed like that not because I was poor but because I was cooler than anyone else. So I totally changed. I hung out with bad boys. Cut class. By the time I got to high school, I had been getting in troubles all the time.
What I loved most was telling joke. I liked keeping the kids laughing. Even the teachers laughed sometimes, which was the best part of my school time. See, I was still so out of it in a way — too cool to hang out with the nerds (书呆子), not cool enough to be with really bad guys. I figured my only value was to be funny. I enjoyed people enjoying my jokes. Maybe that’s the only point where my self-recognition came from.
One day during my junior year, I was walking down the hallway, making jokes as usual, when Mr. Zufa, my math teacher, pulled me aside. I got criticized by teachers all the time, so I didn’t think much about it.
注意:1.续写词数应150左右;

In fact, the impact of the mere exposure effect has been shown specifically in studies using advertisements, and they have found that students rated a banner ad more favorably when they had previously appeared as a pop up on their computer.(广告有助于将品牌资产,如您的徽标和颜色以及产品和品牌特征,呈现在人们面前的次数越多,人们就越有可能对这些资产和您的品牌产生积极的感觉。事实上,单纯的曝光效应的影响已经在使用广告的研究中得到了特别的体现,他们发现,当学生以前在电脑上以弹出窗口的形式出现时,他们对横幅广告的评价更高。)”可知,广告利用曝光度来培养对品牌的赞赏。因此选D项。

Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment — without the need for any type of wearable.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations (颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the tech to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions as well as respiratory system conditions.
“We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security — no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only,” said Ali Ghara, the lead Ph. D. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
32. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It provides more precise health data than wearables.
B. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
C. It sends the health report to the driver’s phone for review.
D. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver’s health.
33. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara’s words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data. B. AI’s interpretation of medical data is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security. D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
34. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C. Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Ph. D. Students Build USS Enterprise on Wheels B. Drivers Beware: Radar Spying on Your Heartbeats
C. Healthy Driving: Radar Monitors Health in Vehicles D. Radars May Know Your Conditions Before You Do

Find creative solutions. ____38____ This is especially important when you do hit an obstacle, which can often provide you with an avenue that you might not otherwise have considered. When you’re confronted with a problem, take some time to daydream and let your mind free to consider the problem without restrictions.
Reward yourself. Each time you complete a smaller step towards a big goal, you might treat yourself to a movie night or lunch at your favorite restaurant. They don’t have to be big or ostentatious (铺张的) — unless you want them to! ____39____
Take breaks to reenergize.

When you’re a poor kid, you worry a lot about how you look, how much you’re spending on clothes. I had problems. I wore high waters (露脚踝裤). And my shoes Forget about it. I had fake shoes — the kind your mother finds in supermarkets.
“John, here’s one I like! Go find the other one that matches!” My mom shouted in the supermarket. Then, I followed her instruction and found it. However, it was only a three and a half, too small for me. Suddenly, an bad feeling took my heart. As expected, she convinced me that we could cut the toes to fit into it.
So there I am, pants too high, shoes too tight, underwear with holes. I was strange-looking in my neighborhood. It hits me: there is no way to get friends. So I had my mission: become cool. I persuaded myself that I dressed like that not because I was poor but because I was cooler than anyone else. So I totally changed. I hung out with bad boys. Cut class. By the time I got to high school, I had been getting in troubles all the time.
What I loved most was telling joke. I liked keeping the kids laughing. Even the teachers laughed sometimes, which was the best part of my school time. See, I was still so out of it in a way — too cool to hang out with the nerds (书呆子), not cool enough to be with really bad guys. I figured my only value was to be funny. I enjoyed people enjoying my jokes. Maybe that’s the only point where my self-recognition came from.
One day during my junior year, I was walking down the hallway, making jokes as usual, when Mr. Zufa, my math teacher, pulled me aside. I got criticized by teachers all the time, so I didn’t think much about it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He did nothing at first but stared at me, eyes shining with appreciation and care.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After his encouragement, I changed a lot and was determined to pursue comedy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
He did nothing at first but stared at me, eyes shining with appreciation and care. Strangeness invading my body, I had never seen any appreciation in teachers’ eyes. “Listen,” he said, ”have you ever thought about being a comedian ” Numerous incidents that teachers blamed me flashing into my mind, I couldn’t believe what was happening, thus pinching my lips. “Instead of being so rude, instead of wasting all energy, why not rechannel your hostility into something productive ” He added. I didn’t talk back to Mr. Zufa in a funny way like I usually would have. Instead, I nodded with tears coursing down. For the rest of the day, I couldn’t get what he said out of my head.
After his encouragement, I changed a lot and was determined to pursue comedy. Shames of too-high pants, too-tight shoes and full-of-holes underwear finally gave way to the satisfaction with my funny stories being enjoyed. All endeavour to disguise myself as a cool boy by making troubles, cutting class and hanging out with bad boys transformed into studying days and nights. I was not a nerd! I was a really cool boy! Eventually, I got into New York University and studied films. Then I started my comedian career. I really appreciated that here’s a guy who was able to look beneath all the stuff I pulled and find some beauty in it. How cool it is!
