On my first job,I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was 16 that there was an envelope on my desk one morning. From the 17 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read,“ You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was signed 18 Mr John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand(新手), his words made me 19 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted 20 I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John's note and become 21 again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 22 young people in many fields.“ When I make 23 feel happy,” he told me,“I feel happy, too.”
24 , why are there few note writers like John in our life In my 25 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is 26 to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot 27 a long time, but a note is a good way of records and our words can be read 28 .

(B)
After coming to America, the use of“ yes” and“ no” brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korean(韩语) is different from that in English. For example, if I am asked,“ Haven't you had dinner yet ” and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say“ Yes, I haven't.” But in English, I have to say,“ No, I haven't.”
Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information.“ Oh, you told me that. Don't you remember ” he said,“ When I asked you ‘ You are not from North Korea, are you ’ you clearly answered,‘ Yes, of course.’ Didn’t it mean that you are from North Korea ”
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They made some noise while playing. I didn't mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile,“ Didn't my children make noise last night Didn't it make you uncomfortable ” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said,“ Yes!” The smile suddenly disappeared from Mark's face, and he said,“I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.”I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said,“OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realised how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.
Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five- second break if I am not sure of“ yes” or“ no”. Second, use“ pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way.
( )34. From the passage, we can infer that the writer comes from .
A. North Korea B. America C. South Korea D. China
( )35. The underlined word“ it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. the difference B. the noise C. watching TV D. the smile
( )36. If the writer is not sure of“ yes” or“ no” next time, he will say .
A.“ pardon me” B.“ yes”
C.“ no” D.“I don’t know”
( )37. The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us .
A. to work hard on English B. to learn to respect others
C. never to use“ yes” or“ no” D. to know culture differences
(C)
Making a good job choice is almost as important as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider.
The first one— that I must work in an area I like— is the most important to me. Someone says if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard- won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice.
A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
( )38. The writer considers an enjoyable job the most important because .
A. he has to bring out his best
B. it can make him more creative
C. he will have to work another day
D. it is possible for him to live better
( )39. The underlined word“ remunerated” in the passage means“ ”.
A. trained B. praised C. accepted D. paid
( )40. The writer wants to tell us that everyone should .
A. become a knowledgeable person
B. join the army to become a better person
C. make preparations to find a satisfying job
D. help young people to choose a good job
( )41. What is the best title for the passage
A. My Job Choice B. My Favourite Job
C. My Comfortable Life D. My Sense of Satisfaction
(D)
My parents run a small store in San Francisco. They always keep a big box by the entrance where people can donate(捐赠) something to our local food bank.
“ For some reason, our food- donation box just isn't filling up recently,” said my dad.
“ Maybe it’s time to think of a way to remind people about the food bank,” said my mum.
“ What about a talent show ” my dad suggested.
“OK, ▲ ” said my mum.
So while my parents posted information online, we kids made some signs. My friend Mareya came over to help out.
“I’d like to do an act in the show, but I don’t know what to do,”I told Mareya.
“ Well, since the food- bank thing is about sharing,” said Mareya, “ why not write a song about that ”
“ Writing a song is not a problem,” I said.“ But it’s hard for me to sing it alone!”
She said,“ What if we sing it together ”
Since Mareya has the world's prettiest voice and also happens to play the guitar, I agreed.
Mareya and I practised and practised, and I was feeling pretty good about our act. But on the morning of the performance, Mareya called that she had a stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
“ There's no way I'm going on without you,”I told her.
“ You' ve worked so hard,” she said.“ You' ll be great!”
But great is the last word anyone would choose to describe my performance! Without Mareya's guitar and voice to guide me, my song was completely in a mess. And I even forgot half the words.
Remember the sick, heart- racing, hot- faced feeling I was talking about Well, that's what I was experiencing— more than I ever had before.
Once I was off the steps, my mum gave me a big hug.
“I want to disappear! I' ve never been so embarrassed(尴尬的) in my life,”I said.
Ollie smiled,“I think you are really brave.”
Indi added,“I now know that you truly can survive(幸存) a lot more embarrassment than you think.”

( )43. Which of the following is the best to fill in“ ▲ ” in the passage
