Have you ever gotten the feeling that a person you were friends with had a hidden schedule or simply couldn't care about your thoughts and opinions? Trying to tell the difference between someone who is genuine and someone who is faking (虚伪) it can be as confusing as trying to tell the difference between a work of art and a well-made copy.1. Read the advice of the following signs of fake people to determine which of your relationships is worth seriously investing in.

They only respect those in positions of power. When it comes to respect, most would agree that everyone is deserving of this sentiment. Yet, fake people have a tendency to only respect people in power. Watch out for people who aren't respectful of everyone around them.2.

3. Only those who lack real quality feel the need to criticize others to keep up appearances. Sincere individuals would rather admire and praise others, while fakers may be quick to put others down in name of making themselves look better.

They make promises they can't keep. A genuine person will do their best to live up to promises and commitments, but a fake person may talk the talk without walking the walk.4.

They're only nice if there's something in it for them.5. In comparison, genuine people are just that genuine. They're nice and helpful no matter what circumstances.

Keep an eye out for these signs of fake people and make room for more meaningful, genuine relationships in your life.

A.If not, they may be faking it.

B.They work hard to build any relationship.

C.They put others down in order to look good.

D.But thanks to some advice, the former doesn't have to be.

E.In comparison, a genuine person knows when to let others shine.

F.A fake person is one who only shows kindness when it benefits them.

G.Fake people easily make commitments, but rarely follow through on them.

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!

Some parapsychologists （心理学家） say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them．To study whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, performed several experiments．

In the first one．Baker sat behind unsuspecting people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes．The subjects were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer．Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods．Later, when he questioned the suspects, almost all of them said they had no' idea that someone was staring at them．

For the second experiment．Baker told subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way minor in a lab setting．The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t．Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at than if they had just guessed．

Baker’s experiment concludes again that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at．If you doubt the outcome of his two experiments, I suggest you repeat the experiments and see for yourselves．

1.The first experiment made by Baker shows that ____．

A．people can’t realize it when they are watched secretly

B．one can't sense other people’s watching when they are talking

C．people have no idea about the sixth sense of human beings

D．the sixth sense doesn’t work during the first 5 or 15 minutes

2.The second experiment differs from the first one in that ____．

A．the subjects were not directly stared at from time to time

B．the subjects had to write something down in a lab sitting

C．the subjects were good at guessing when they were stared at

D．the subjects were informed of the purpose of the experiment

3.What is the author's attitude towards the result of the experiment? ____．

A．Support          B．Doubt            C．Sympathy         D．Surprise

4.We can infer from the passage that ____．

A．it’s most probable that humans have six senses

B．the so-called sixth sense doesn’t exist in human beings

C．the experiments done by Baker hardly explain anything

D．people should make conclusions by themselves

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!

Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments.

In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.

For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were started at than if they had just guessed.

Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”

1.The purpose of the two experiments is to _______.

A. explain when people can have a sixth sense

B. show how people act while being watched in the lab

C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at

D. prove why humans have a sixth sense

2.In the first experiment, the subjects _______.

A. were not told that they would be stared at            B. lost their sense when they were stared at

C. were not sure when they would be stared at     D. were uncomfortable when they were stared at

3.The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.

A. value    B. result   C. performance        D. connection

4.What can be learned from the passage?

A. People are born with a sixth sense.

B. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.

C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.

D. People have a sixth sense in public places.

If you have ever gone through a toll booth(收费所), you know that your relationship to the person in the booth is not the most intimate you'll ever have. It is one of life's frequent affairs: You hand over some money; you might get change; you drive off.

　Late one morning in 1984, headed for lunch in San Francisco, I drove toward a booth. I heard loud music. It sounded like a party. I looked around. No other cars with their windows open. No sound trucks. I looked at the toll booth. Inside it, the man was dancing.

　"What are you doing?" I asked.

　"I'm having a party," he said.

　"What about the rest of the people?" I looked at the other toll booths.

　He said, "What do those look like to you?" He pointed down the row of toll booths.

　"They look like……toll booths. What do they look like to you?"

　He said, "Vertical coffins. At 8:30 every morning, live people get in. Then they die for eight hours. At 4:30, like Lazarus from the dead, they reemerge and go home. For eight hours, brain is on hold, dead on the job. Going through the motions."

　I was amazed. This guy had developed a philosophy, a mythology about his job. Sixteen people dead on the job, and the seventeenth, in precisely the same situation, figures out a way to live. I could not help asking the next question: "Why is it different for you? You're having a good time."

He looked at me. "I knew you were going to ask that. I don't understand why anybody would think my job is boring. I have a corner office, glass on all sides. I can see the Golden Gate, San Francisco, and the Berkeley hills. Half the Western world vacations here……and I just stroll in every day and practice dancing."

1.According to the first paragraph, in most cases, how do you describe the relationship between drivers and toll booth?

A．most intimate      B．very tense         C．pretty ordinary     D．extremely hostile

2.Why did the author go to San Francisco?

A. To attend a party

B. B. To have a meal

C. To dance with the worker in the toll booth

D. To hand in the repair fee of his car

3.The underlined name “Lazarus” mentioned in the eighth paragraph probably refers to a person___________.

A. who was very active in his life

B. B. who was dead and revived from death

C. who was going to San Francisco

D. who liked dancing at work

4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A．The author passed by the toll booth every day.

B．The worker enjoyed his work very much.

C．Only western people like to spend their holidays in the Berkeley hills.

D．The dancing worker was getting badly along with his colleagues.

5.After hearing what the worker said, the author would probably_________.

A．go to the worker’s senior to complain about his bad attitude towards job.

B．go climbing the Golden Gate and the Berkeley hills to have a vacation.

C．learn to take a positive attitude to job and appreciate valuable things in life.

D．go back home instead of wasting time traveling to San Francisco.

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas：

1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?

There are isolating(孤立的)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.

2) How do you handle change?

Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.

3)Do you enjoy working with computers?

I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.

4)What type of work environment do you enjoy?

This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.

5)How do you like to get paid?

Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.

Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

1.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. You may ignore your skills when you select job.

B. Job skills are the most important things when you select job.

C. There are more important things than job skills when you select job.

D. Selecting job, you should assess your skills and match them with the position.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.

B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.

C. Extreme people tend to work with others.

D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.

3.Apart from skills, stability, motivation, and environment, what else area do you need to consider in a job search ?

A. Design　　　　　　　　 B. Changes

C. Cooperation　　　　 D. Hobbies

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. Lifestyles and Job Pay　　 　 B. Jobs and Environment
