6、r your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen. Now you are looking for a place where you can improve your English, especially your spoken English.

The eff

10、ect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?Both answers may be true. In a study that followed more than 30000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get marrie

11、d and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the “happy day“ and lasts for at least a year afterward. For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals (掩盖) the fact tha

12、t a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.And it seems theres something special about signing that piece of paper: The research shows that you cant get as much benefit from simply cohabiting (同居)

13、. “My husband says that cohabiting couples lack the deeper security that comes with the formal band of gold, and that is why they are not quite so happy,“ says Oswald. “Insecurity, we know from all data, is bad for human beings.“19 The title of the passage is probably_.（A）Single People（B） Married Pe

14、ople（C） Marriage and Happiness（D）Band of Gold20 What keeps back the permanent positive effect of marriage?（A）The baseline of satisfaction.（B） A less happy beginning.（C） The concealment of reality.（D）A good marriage.21 The word “boost“ in Paragraph 2 most probably means_.（A）credit（B） happiness（C） imp

15、rovement（D）reward22 According to the passage, what will do harm to human beings?（A）Keeping single.（B） Insecurity.（C） Dissatisfaction.（D）Cohabitation.22 When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain test, or even the ability to do generally well at schoo

16、l. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tr

17、ies to take it with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie

18、 in a certain feeling about life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely different set of attitudes.Years of watching and comparing bright children

19、 with the not-bright or less bright have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, and unite himself with it. There is no wall between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious,

20、 far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim (格言) tliat there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he cant do something one way, hell try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a gre

21、at deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand or ten thousand could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every child learns and grows in hi

22、s first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by anything else, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education a process that goes on in most homes and school

23、s.23 The writer believes that intelligence is_.（A）doing well on some examinations（B） being an excellent student at school（C） knowing quickly how to solve a problem（D）a certain positive type of behavior or attitude24 The passage tells us that_.（A）a bright child gives up easily（B） a bright child is op

24、en-minded（C） an unintelligent child is never reluctant to try（D）an unintelligent child knows little about himself25 Which of the following statements has a similar meaning to the maxim “Theres more than one way to skin a cat.“?（A）Make hay while the sun shines.（B） If at first you succeed, keep trying

25、 again.（C） If at first you dont succeed, try, try, and try again.（D）Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.26 The writer says that education is misnamed because it_.（A）discourages intellectual growth（B） takes place more at home than at school（C） fails to help dull chi

26、ldren with their problems（D）only helps bright children understand the world around them26 What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics

27、 can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Althoug

28、h not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most: jobs but if history is one of your good subjects, you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may h

29、ave taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, yo

30、u may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct changes in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Faci

31、ng your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it i

32、s an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it, but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.27 What is the passage mainly about?（A）How to face ones weakness.（B） Advice on choosing a career.（C） The significance of working hard at school.（D

33、）The direct and indirect value of school work.28 According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student_.（A）can help afford ones education（B） is a good way to practice the skills learnt in school（C） can help you prepare for future work（D）is a waste of time that could have been spent on study29
