18、nning a Gap YearThe best reason to take a gap year between school and work or higher education is to improve your CV with experience overseas. This is why some school leavers in Britain now consider a year out to be essential. Many want to travel, with Sydney the favourite destination. Shooting Star

19、 is an organisation that helps school leavers by offering training followed by appropriate employment. We at Shooting Star offer much more than a trip abroad. At Shooting Star you acquire skills that lead to interesting jobs both for your gap year and future holidays. Magazines are full of “Wanted“

20、adverts for washing up in a restaurant. Well, we don“t do that-it“s not our idea of excitement. We offer school leavers the chance for outdoor adventure, to teach things like sailing and snowboarding. No choice, really! In your year out you train, travel and work; you can combine work with pleasure

21、and reap the rewards. You could become an experienced yacht skipper or instructor and many people go on to spend their future holidays being paid to enjoy their favourite sport. Australians and New Zealanders travel to Europe and North America in large numbers to gain overseas experience. Those who

22、qualify with Shooting Star are very soon using their skills in jobs they could only dream about before, working outdoors and seeing more of the world. Wherever you come from, a gap year with Shooting Star means professional training and international adventure. Top tips for a successful gap year: De

23、sign your gap year in outline before applying for a permanent job or a college place. Human Resources officers or Admissions tutors will be impressed by a thought-out plan.

24、nities in advance. Go to our website and click on Recruitment for ideas. Who do you know who has taken a gap year before?

29、 Now you need to prepare yourself for the interview to make sure you make the most of this opportunity. There are a number of things you can do. B Firstly you can do some research. Find out about the employer and the job, ask for an information pack or speak to people you know who work for the compa

30、ny. Try to plan for the interview by asking who will be interviewing you and whether there will be a test to take. C Prepare for questions you might be asked. Some common ones are the reason why you want the job, whether you have done this kind of work before, what your strengths and weaknesses are,

31、 and which leisure pursuits you enjoy. D Another important point is never to run the risk of arriving late. For example, consider making a “dummy run“ in advance to see how long the journey will take. Check out public transport or, if you are going by car, the nearest parking. Aim to arrive about 10

32、 minutes before the interview is due to start. E It is also crucial to give plenty of thought to what you are going to wear. This will depend on the job you are going for. There is no need to buy a new outfit, but aim to look neat and tidy. Remember, if you look good it will help you feel good. F Yo

33、u need to make a good impression. Interviews can vary from a relatively informal “one-to-one“ chat to a very formal panel situation. Whatever the circumstances, you will give yourself an advantage by being friendly and polite, by making eye contact with the interviewer and by selling yourself by foc

34、using on your strengths. G There are also things you should avoid doing at your interview. First of all, don“t exaggerate. For example, if you don“t have the exact experience the employer is looking for, say so and explain you are willing to learn. Don“t simply give “yes“ and “no“ answers, but answe

35、r questions as fully as you can. And lastly don“t forget to ask questions as well as answering them. H One final thing to remember: it is important to show good team spirit, that you possess good people skills and that you are friendly and approachable. Finally, remember to be enthusiastic and show

36、that you can be flexible. The text has eight sections, A-H . Which section mentions the following? Write the correct letter, A-H , in boxes 21-27 on your answer sheet. NB You may use any letter more than once.（分数：14.00）(1).the importance of good manners（分数：2.00）(2).using your contacts（分数：2.00）(3).gi

38、ite, insulin and artificial sweetener have in common? Serendipity! These diverse discoveries, which have made our everyday living more convenient, were discovered partly by chance. However, Louis Pasteur noted the additional requirement involved in serendipity when he said,“ . chance favours only th

39、e prepared mind“. The discovery of modern photography provides an example of serendipity. In 1838, L. J. M. Daguerre was attempting to “fix“ images onto a copper photographic plate. After adding a silver coating to the plate and exposing it to iodine vapour, he found that the photographic image was

40、improved but still very weak. Desperate after an investigation lasting several months, Daguerre placed a lightly exposed photographic plate in the cupboard in which laboratory chemicals such as alcohol and collodion were stored. To his amazement, when he removed the plate several days later, Daguerr

41、e found a strong image on its surface. This image had been created by chance. It was at this point that Louis Pasteur“s “additional requirement“ came into play: Daguerre“s training told him that one or more of the chemicals in the cupboard was responsible for intensifying the image. After a break of

42、 two weeks, Daguerre systematically placed new photographic plates in the cupboard, removing one chemical each day. Unpredictably, good photographic images were created even after all chemicals had been removed. Daguerre then noticed that some mercury had spilled onto the cupboard shelf, and he conc

43、luded that the mercury vapour must have improved the photographic result. From this discovery came the universal adoption of the silver-mercury process to develop photographs. Daguerre“s serendipitous research effort was rewarded, a year later, with a medal conferred by the French government. Many g

44、reat scientists have benefited from serendipity, including Nobel Prize winners. In fact the scientist who established the Nobel Prize was himself blessed with serendipity. In 1861, the Nobel family built a factory in Stockholm to produce nitroglycerine, a colourless and highly explosive oil that had

45、 first been prepared by an Italian chemist fifteen years earlier. Nitroglycerine was known to be volatile and unpredictable, often exploding as a result of very small knocks. But the Nobel family believed that this new explosive could solve a major problem facing the Swedish State Railways-the need

46、to dig channels and tunnels through mountains so that the developing railway system could expand. However, as turnover increased, so did the number of accidental explosions resulting from the use of nitroglycerine. Some people blamed the people who used the explosive more than the substance itself,

47、because nitroglycerine had become popular for inappropriate purposes such as polishing the leather of shoes. At the age of thirty, Alfred Nobel made the first of his major inventions: an innovative blasting cap, a device designed to control the nitroglycerine explosion. Nobel was also determined to

48、discover a way to make this explosive safer to manufacture, transport and use. Firstly, he experimented with adding chemicals to nitroglycerine, but because the chemicals required huge amounts of resources and energy to wash out, this process was considered to be impractical. He then tried to use fi

49、brous material such as sawdust, charcoal or paper to stabilise the explosive, but these combustible materials tended to catch fire when placed near nitroglycerine. As an alternative, he added powdered brick dust to tame the explosive, as he knew that brick dust would not catch fire. However, the brick dust reduced the explosive power of the product, and so was also found to be unsatisfactory. According to one version of how the eventual solution was found, a metal container of nitroglycerine sprang a leak, and some of the liquid soaked into packaging material that lay around the container. No
