MEET THE NEW BOSS: YOU
Up until the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents' footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. You'd follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop. You'd follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room. In your grandparents' time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents' footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
In fact, planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn't practical anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to help you through your entire career. In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon. And then what will you do Work hard Win the lottery Hope for the best You might be lucky.These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at a job you like, earning a decent salary and retiring while you're still young and healthy. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”．
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do, but this is hardly a recipe for great career success. Instead, you'd better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work. You'll need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver, and a hard worker. Keep doing this, and you can become an expert or a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When my friend suggested going to the thrift shop, instantly I thought “I hope no one I know sees me”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local thrift shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”．
Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would despise me if I said I shopped at the thrift shop. They may pity me, or consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream. But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet
Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentary The True Cost, I learned donated clothes that don't get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that's one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.
A friend introduced me to the thrift shop only a few years ago. My first item was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand.This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I dropped in on a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It's all second-hand，” she said. I couldn't believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the thrift shop are in new or almost new condition. That's when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.
Selling second-hand things isn't anything new but what the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let's get shopping.

(2024·泉州三校期中联考)When you go to a grocery store, you expect to pay for your goods with money. But students at a high school in Texas, US, opened a store that runs on good deeds.
In November, students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger opened a grocery store that enables students to purchase necessities using a point system. The store aims to support families in need.
“In our school, many students are considered economically disadvantaged and their family can barely make ends meet，” explained Anthony Love, principal of Linda Tutt. “About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless. We thought it important to support them and their families and make sure they had food on the table.”
Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For those students from poor families, the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families. “They can earn points by doing chores (杂活) around the building or helping to clean，” Love said.
The number of points for each item was actually decided by the students. “So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point，” said Paul Juarez, executive director of First Refuge Ministries.
Juarez said that he hoped the idea got implemented (实施) in other areas. “It gives us a picture of what it can be. So if we can do this inside other schools, it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”
In addition to the financial benefits, students also learned about supply management and customer service, and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs. The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger's mayor. “We all have our first job and it teaches us how to work, and gives us what we need for our future work，” he said. “I think this will do that for them too, and meet an immediate need.”

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小时候父亲教作者钓鱼，告诉他像鱼一样思考才能钓到鱼的故事。多年后进入商界的作者通过父亲的话并结合多年的实践认识到做事应该换位思考。
1．A．content B．fun
C．normal D．typical
B 解析：根据下文“he could catch many fish while I couldn't”可知，因为父亲能钓到很多鱼而作者钓不到，所以作者对这一点感到无趣(fun)。
2．A．amazed B．confused
C．curious D．upset
D 解析：根据上文“he could catch many fish while I couldn't”可知，作者钓不到鱼，所以心情很沮丧(upset)。
3．A．share B．strike
C．predict D．read
A 解析：根据上文“I'm not a fish！”可知，作者无法认为自己是一条鱼，所以不知道如何“像鱼一样思考”。share the same thought意为“持有相同的想法”。
4．A．added B．knew
C．reasoned D．realized
C 解析：根据下文“how could what I thought influence what a fish did”可知，作者在思考(reason)，此处是作者内心的想法。
5．A．said B．experienced

C 解析：根据上文“As I got a little older, I began to understand what my dad”可知，此处指作者开始理解父亲让他像鱼一样思考意味着(mean)什么。

C 解析：根据上文“And I even joined the local fishing club”可知，作者加入了当地的钓鱼俱乐部，所以会定期(regularly)参加该俱乐部的聚会。
7．A．quality B．depth
C．height D．temperature
D 解析：根据上文“a fish is a cold-blooded animal”和下文“Fish______ shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.”可知，鱼是冷血动物，浅水区比深水区温暖，鱼会根据水温来寻找适合的地方，由此可推知，鱼对水温(temperature)敏感。
8．A．leave B．prefer
C．adjust D．turn
B 解析：根据下文“because the former is warmer”可知，因为浅水区更温暖，所以鱼偏爱(prefer)浅水区。
9．A．protects B．catches
C．hurts D．reaches
C 解析：根据常识和上文“fish don't have eyelids”可知，鱼没有眼皮，所以阳光会伤害(hurt)它们的眼睛。
10．A．enjoying B．making
C．studying D．catching
D 解析：根据上文“catch many fish”及“The more I understood fish, the more I became effective in finding”可知，作者对鱼越了解，就越能钓到鱼。catch fish意为“钓鱼”。
11．A．business B．agriculture
C．government D．administration
A 解析：根据下文“customers much older and richer than me”可知，作者的工作是服务顾客，由此可推知，他进入了商业(business)界。
12．A．customers B．salespeople
C．fishermen D．consultants
B 解析：根据下文“My dad never once said, ‘If you want to catch a fish, you need to think like a fisherman.’”可知，作者的父亲从未说过“如果你想钓到一条鱼，你需要像渔夫一样思考”，由此进行类比可知，此处用salespeople对应fisherman。
13．A．make sense B．make progress
C．take effect D．take place
A 解析：根据上下文内容可知，此处指老板的话根本没有道理(make sense)。
14．A．business B．cooperation
C．supervision D．services

(2024·泉州三校期中联考)When you go to a grocery store, you expect to pay for your goods with money. But students at a high school in Texas, US, opened a store that runs on good deeds.
In November, students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger opened a grocery store that enables students to purchase necessities using a point system. The store aims to support families in need.
“In our school, many students are considered economically disadvantaged and their family can barely make ends meet，” explained Anthony Love, principal of Linda Tutt. “About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless. We thought it important to support them and their families and make sure they had food on the table.”
Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For those students from poor families, the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families. “They can earn points by doing chores (杂活) around the building or helping to clean，” Love said.
The number of points for each item was actually decided by the students. “So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point，” said Paul Juarez, executive director of First Refuge Ministries.
Juarez said that he hoped the idea got implemented (实施) in other areas. “It gives us a picture of what it can be. So if we can do this inside other schools, it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”
In addition to the financial benefits, students also learned about supply management and customer service, and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs. The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger's mayor. “We all have our first job and it teaches us how to work, and gives us what we need for our future work，” he said. “I think this will do that for them too, and meet an immediate need.”
