22、洁得体的衣着，有力和稳健的握手，想要成就一次完美的面试，打动未来的雇主，也许，你还需要戴上一副让你看起来更加文质彬彬的眼镜。 一份调查研究显示，佩戴眼镜参加工作面试的求职人员被雇用的几率更高。有 1/3 的受访者表示，戴眼镜会使人看起来更具专业资质，而有 43%的人则表示，戴眼镜的人看起来更加聪明。 若能增加求职成功率，约有 40%视力健全的人愿意选择佩戴平光眼镜。这项调查的研究人员还发现，6%的人自认戴眼镜会让人看起来更加时髦，9%的人则认为眼镜能使人看起来越发具有吸引力。 兰开斯特大学心理学家加里库伯表示：“这点并不奇怪，雇主们都希望能找到具有聪明才智的雇员，而眼镜与之所产生必然关联的影响

33、0）_正确答案：()解析：参考译文 现在我们关注一下本周来自海地的特别报道。两个月前海地发生的地震成为史上最严重的灾难之一。我们得知许多孩子成为孤儿，深受重伤，他们的家园和学校都在震中摧毁。尽管他们遭受了诸多痛苦，孩子们对未来还是满怀希望。 “我想成为一名护士，去帮助那些生病的人。” “我可能会成为一名工程师。” “我想要成为一名医生，一名牙医。我想要去美国学习(这些技能)。” 但是目前海地遇到的困难并没有什么快速解决方案。在震前这个国家的经济就不景气，如今人们仅有的那点东西都被地震毁坏了。仅清理废墟就需花费几年的时间，而重建整个国家则需要更久。塔尼亚目前在一家名为“救救海地的孩子”的慈善机构
34、工作。海地自地震后受到各方的关注，她希望这种关注能够帮助这个国家变得更强。 “对于海地而言，这是个非常可怕的时刻。但某种意义上这也是一个机遇，因为周围有众多人的关心和帮助。对于世界来说，这也是帮助海地重建一个更加合理的教育制度的机会。”4.My idea to change the world for the better is to abolish money.

Notes： (1)abolish 放弃，废除 (2)bluntly 直率地，坦白地 (3)mug(俚语)愚弄，欺骗 （分数：25.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考译文 我认为改善世界的方法就是废除现金。从技术层面来说这非常容易并且可行。我们拥有存有货币的塑料卡片，我们有能转账的网络账户。实际上，我们也都有装备智能芯片并有转账功能的手机。因此从技术上来说，这想法是可行的。如果我们将之实行，就能摆脱钱包，省下许多麻烦。但更大的效益在于这会转变我们居住的社会类型，尤其是让我们更安全，不得不更诚实。如果银行与个人都没现金，打劫他们就毫无意义了。更重要的是，即使不是为了现金，与钱有关的犯罪显然也需要现金。例如，我很少听说毒贩们也收信用卡和支票。
