These days, it seems like everything is going digital. You can find almost everything on the Internet.

Many people find this way of life more convenient, because they can complete their daily chores（琐事） from the comfort of their own home.

Firstly, online shopping can be far less stressful than hitting the high street shops. There are no huge crowds of people or boring long queues. With online shopping, it’s just you and your computer. It’s like you have the whole shop to yourself! Secondly, online stores don’t have opening and closing times. This is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. If you want to, you can even place an online shopping order at three o’clock in the morning!

In the busy modern world, there are clearly many advantages to online shopping. However, in my experience, there are also several cons… With online shopping, you can’t try before you buy, and that’s a definite disadvantage for me. Often, when my new clothes arrive, I find they don’t fit very well. It’s always annoying when a dress is a little too big, or when sleeves are too short… Sometimes, the clothes are not what I was expecting. A piece of clothing might look great in photos online, but quite different in real life.

In these cases, you want to return the item, but here lies the biggest problem with online shopping. You have to pay for your order’s delivery, and for an item to be returned to the warehouse! These charges are often very expensive, which suddenly make online shopping seem a little less convenient… That’s why I don’t choose to shop online very frequently. For now, I will continue to find the time for a trip to a real shop, where I know exactly what I’m buying!

1.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. The differences among online stores.

B. The methods of online shopping.

C. The opening time of online stores.

D. The advantages of online shopping.

2.Which word can replace the underlined word“cons”in the fourth paragraph?

A. Comparisons.　　 B. Concentration.

C. Disadvantages.　　 D. Disagreements.

3.According to the author, what is the biggest problem with online shopping?

A. The waste of time and electricity.

B. The expensive charges for the returned item.

C. The disadvantages of not trying before you buy.

D. The lost experience of walking in a real shop.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards online shopping?

A. Disapproval.　　 B. Doubtful.

C. Curious.　　 D. Favorable.

The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or Dove？”

Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.

The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know. This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)．

According to Mark Baldwin, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.

This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.

1.The writer wrote the passage to________.

A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview

B. tell you how to meet a job interviewer

C. describe the aptitude test

D．advise you how to find a job

2.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?

A. They want to discover what the interviewees know.

B. They are curious about the answers.

C. They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.

D. They just ask questions without thinking much.

3.According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should________.

A. not tell the truth

B. learn to tell what they really think

C. be more enthusiastic

D. try to find out what the examiner really want to know

4.From the passage we know that________.

A. job applicants are always asked such questions

B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

C. applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner

D. the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide

Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.

Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.

Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because , we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.

1.For Cinderella, doing household work is __________.

A. what she hates to do

B. what she is responsible for

C. what she loves to do

D. what she is content with

2. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________.

A. it takes a lot of time

B. it has to be done by one person

C. it must be handled skillfully

D. it needs careful planning

3. Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _________.

A. hand washed dishes are cleaner

B. dishwashers are not so easily handled

C. some dishes cannot be washed by machine

D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper

4.Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________.

A. it requires patience

B. it is not a daily housework

C. it is not tiring

D. it needs less care

Recently I started discovering one thing which amazes me so much: how perfect everything is in the world we are living in! Just look, all day long we are busy working and just when we get tired, the night comes in, so we may sleep and relax. One day we may enjoy the bright sun and another day, when we get tired of the sun, the rain pours down.

A few months ago I was so happy with my life. Later, I got tired from the happiness. I wished I would have some trial to strengthen my character and learn something new about life. I got what I wanted. Shortly after I got severe angina (心绞痛), so I had to stay home for several weeks. During this period I had time to rethink my life and discover myself. The lessons were terrific, but I felt grateful for this time.

Another example: I have a friend, who primarily thinks about having fun. Once I thought why we get along well with each other and what in me attracts her. A couple of days ago I found the answer. I like calmness and silence. She likes noise and agitation (热闹). We attract each other just to balance ourselves, in other words, to give some drive to me and some calmness to her!

So remember that the universe is so wise that it will try to balance you. As for me, this is perfect because extremes create suffering: too much food – too little food, too cold – too hot, too much fun – too little fun.

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that the author___.

A. always feels down on rainy days

B. always tries his best to do everything

C. feels happy with everything in life

D. is amazed at the changes in life

2.The example given in the third paragraph is to show that___.

A. it’s necessary to get along with different people

B. there exists a kind of balance in life

C. a person shouldn’t just think of fun in life

D. one should put others’ interests above his own

3.The author would probably agree that___.

A. we shouldn’t go to extremes in life

B. we should be nice to others and ourselves

C. we should adapt ourselves to changes in life

D. life can be annoying sometimes
