It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old! Welcome to your future life.

Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror.

“Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics(智能电子元件) are re-arranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you’re 40. You look much younger.

With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged! As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.

“Ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space —and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots(防疫针) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the strawberries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.

It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office, Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video film rather than read it.

1.What changes the color of your shirt?

A. The mirror.　　 B. The medicine.　　 C. The counter.　　 D. The shirt itself.

2.How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?

A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl.　　 B. By checking the nutrition details of the food.

C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.　　 D. By listening to the doctor’s advice.

3.The strawberries the children eat serve as _______.

A. vaccines　　 B. lunch　　 C. breakfast　　 D. nutrition

Are you stuck in a job you don’t like? Many people hold ideas about jobs and careers that are holding them back.Let’s see the truth behind some career myths.

A CV (简历) is the only way to get a job.

To tell the truth, many employers don’t like or actually read CVs.Some employers would prefer to judge a person after a face-to-face meeting, or give them some part-time work first to see what they are truly like in the workplace.

Having an up-to-date CV is important when applying for jobs advertised in the paper, from larger organizations, or when you want to leave some information about yourself for the employers.

I have to make my decision now and stick to it.

There is a great saying: “Life is a journey not a destination.” Journeys are full of options.You make and change your decisions all the time based on new experiences and information.

Yes, you do have to make decisions, but you do not have to be limited by those career decisions by sticking to them.What’s more important is having a go and exploring new things.

I can’t get into the work I like because there are too few opportunities.

I have no doubt getting into work that you really want to do can be challenging.But I do also believe opportunities exist in most career areas because employment needs change all the time.One strategy I’d suggest if you can’t get your dream job is to go after what you want and grab any opportunity that moves you toward your dream job.

It’s the school’s responsibility to talk about careers and work.

Schools do have a part to play in providing career advice for students, but others also have a responsibility.I would suggest that a student-parent-school partnership approach is a far better way of looking at this.A lot of information is available on the internet, in the newspapers, through relatives and friends.

1.The passage was written mainly to ___________.

A.tell people how to get a good job

B.teach people how to behave in a job interview

C.correct some wrong ideas about looking for jobs

D.introduce right attitudes towards work

2.According to the passage, when you are looking for jobs a CV __________.

A.is the most important thing

B.is no longer popular

C.should be given face to face.

D.should contain your latest information

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.

A.students should use as many resources as possible when looking for a job

B.the school is the main source of career advice to students

C.students should rely on relatives and friends to find a good job

D.information on the Internet is not necessarily true

Job Interviews

You have the education and the work experience; now all you need is the job. Most people spend more time getting ready for an evening out than they do preparing for a job interview. There are several things you can do to have a successful job interview. Here are some of them:

1. Know about the company where you are trying to get a job. Find out what the company does and who their competitors(竞争者) are.

2. Know yourself. Most interviewers will ask a question related to your strengths and weaknesses. Before the interview, examine the job you are applying for and determine the top skills needed for that position. For instance, if you are applying for a job as a telephone operator, it’s more important that you have strong communication skills than that you are tidy.

3. Have proof. It’s easy to say you have good organization skills. But if you can tell the interviewer about a time you organized an event, it makes the claim much more solid.

4. Prepare questions to ask about the company and the job.

An interview is a stressful event. When you are under pressure, it can be difficult to think straight. Preparing before the interview will make it easier to give answers to those tough questions. But you can’t think of every question they might ask. So relax and be confident. Remember, first impressions are lasting.

1.A good skill for a telephone operator to have is ________.

A. the ability to smile

B. tidiness

C. good communication skills

D. proof of past experience

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The job interview should be conducted over the telephone.

B. The first time the interviewer sees you is important.

C. You shouldn’t ask questions about the company.

D. You shouldn’t give examples of things you have done in the past.

3.This article is about ________.

A. how to get a job interview

B. how to communicate at work

C. how to prepare for a job interview.

D. how to interview people

Have you heard about Leap year? Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month. 1.

We also call Leap year the bissextile year (闰年). 2. In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once）is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra day—Feb 29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.

It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar.3.

However, Caesar’s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers’ year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 4.

People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us.

5. But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.

A. They acknowledge that they get older each year.

B. When you see Feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.

C. This is its formal, or scientific title.

D. This may seem complicated, but it works.

E. This is done every four years.

F. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.

G. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days.
