22、ssion in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do “Languages“, they say,“ have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. “Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves fa
23、r more than mere linguistic ability. To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accreditin
24、g organizations own school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At Londons University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter s course if they can show that they have“ lived a bit“, in the words of
25、one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life. The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledg
26、e of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday. Interpreters also rely
27、on adrenaline (肾上腺素) which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working. Its also a job with its o
28、wn risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centres of international diplomacy, like the UN. （分数：1.00）(1).What does“ have lived a bit“ mean?（分数：0.20）A.To be older than others.B.To travel to more countries.C.To have abundant life experience.D.To have longer training in

32、20）A.funnyB.intrepidC.dangerous sometimesD.excitingSleep is a funny thing. Were taught that we should get seven or eight hours a night, but a lot of us get by just fine on less, and some of us actually sleep too much. A study out of the University of Buffalo reported that people who routinely sleep
33、more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of stroke probably as a result of an underlying disorder that keeps them from sleeping soundly. Doctors have their own special sleep problems. Residents are famously short of sleep. It is not unusual for them to
34、work 40 hours in a row without rest. They are not in the least worried about it, confident they can still deliver the highest quality of medical care. But an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a persons motor per
35、formance is comparable to that of someone who is drunk. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence of alcohol is grounds for sacking often dont think twice about operating without enough sleep. “ I could tell you horror stories,“ says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American M
36、edical Student Association, which runs a website for residents. Some are terrifying. “ I was operating after being up for over 36 hours,“ one writes. “I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly planted my face into the wound. “ “Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the
37、 wheel driving home from work,“ writes another. “I know of three who have hit parked cars. Another hit a Jersey gate on the New Jersey Expressway, going 105km/h. “ “Your own patients have become the enemy,“ writes a third, because they are “the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sl
38、eep. “ The U. S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If youre worried about the people treating you or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more rested staffers ar

41、ident, they are short of sleep because_.（分数：0.20）A.they are too tired to fall asleepB.they are forbidden to sleep at workC.they are kept by treating their patientsD.they are too worried about oversleeping(4).The resident who hit a “Jersey gate“ on the New Jersey Expressway must have_.（分数：0.20）A.fall

43、sleep several hours before the operationTo understand why someone becomes an optimist or a pessimist, it helps to understand what distinguishes them. Say you crash your car. Do you expect good things to happen after the accident an easy recuperation(挽回损失), a fat check from your insurer? Or do you wo
44、rry that your neck will hurt forever? “Optimistic people tend to feel that bad things wont last long and wont affect other parts of life,“ Seligman says. Pessimists tend to believe one negative incident will last and undermine every- thing else in their lives. Also important, researchers say, is the
45、 story you construct about why things happen - your explanatory style. Optimists believe that bad events have temporary causes “The boss is in a bad mood.“ Pessimists believe the cause is permanent “The boss is a jerk.“ This sense of control distinguishes one type from the other. Positive thinkers f
46、eel powerful. Negative thinkers, Seligman says, feel helpless because they have learned to believe theyre doomed, no matter what. A young wife whos told shes incapable of handling household finances might later become a divorce woman who cant balance a checkbook. Such learned helplessness causes muc
47、h harm on health. Studies show that optimists are better at coping with the distress associated with everything from sore throat to heart surgery. Furthermore, scientists at U. C. L. A. discovered that optimists have more disease fighting T cells. Pessimists also dont believe in preventive care. Vis
