Unit 2 English around the world Ⅱ.閱讀理解 At a recent visit to the beautiful Keukenhof flower gardens in Holland, I learned about the practice of topping. As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of the flowers, which they believe causes the plants to invest more energy into flower growth and less into seed production. The expected result is flower buds that will produce higher quality flowers. This is the same with personal growth. Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be helpful to cut them off and throw them away. This can free up energy for a stronger attempt elsewhere instead of settling into the comfort zone of satisfaction with the old results. After running my computer game business for 10 years and generating satisfying results with it, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind. This freed up my energy to focus on my personal development in writing and speaking. If Id kept running the old business, this would have meant less energy to invest in my new path. It can be difficult to choose the topping approach because youre taking something thats already reasonably satisfying and cutting it out of your life, in the hopes that something even better will grow in its place. Do you want to settle where you are right now? If so, then topping is unnecessary. But if youd like to do better and believe you have a good shot at improvement, just like the flower growers at Keukenhof, then topping is a sensible practice. To free up time and energy for future growth in new directions, you have to drop the merely satisfactory. This gives you a shot at the truly beautiful. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is by definition an uncomfortable experience, but it can yield a lot more growth than staying put. Though dropping satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, I do find it to be the more beautiful path. 1.By using metaphor, the author means that the tops of flowers are .

Need help getting there? Here are five killer tips to build your interviewing confidence: Ⅰ. 5 One great way to build your job interview confidence is to conduct plenty of research on the company youre applying for, the recruiter （招聘者） and the position offered. If youre able to share the companys background information, youll undoubtedly catch the interviewer off-guard in a great way! Ⅱ.Locate Sample Interview Questions There are many sample interview questions floating around the Internet that can help you evaluate the types of questions you could be asked. 6 Remember， keep all your answers focused on how you can help the employer! Ⅲ.Practice Often 7 You can do this by answering questions in front of the mirror to read your own facial expressions and body language. Or have a family member or friend act as the interviewer to help you simulate the actual environment. Ⅳ.Make Sure You Have No “Skeletons” An important step in preparing for your interview is being able to discuss your career history. As you look back over your career，research yourself online to make sure there are no digital skeletons on the Internet that could negatively affect your interview. 8 Therefore, its up to you to ensure your social networking profiles are professional, or private. Ⅴ.Decide What the Job Is Worth You may be asked about salary expectations, so its good to prepare an answer. 9 Give the total package some thought before arriving at the interview—and not just the salary. A. Sell Yourself. B. Conduct Research. C. To be more focused and confident, you need to have a positive attitude. D.A great way to build your confidence for the interview is to practice before the big day. E. Remember, companies conduct background checks often via search engines. F. Aside from salary, its important to think about working hours and work-life balance, benefits and much more. G. Take time to review those questions and come up with great answers. Ray continued to spend most free hours working with Dr.Tisman. The two began studying the effects of vitamins on babies inside the womb. However, Ray’s main interest remained cancer treatment, and he continues his research today. Ⅱ.完形填空 “We expected our first child to be perfect.” Most parents have thought so. I know that’s what I 1 with our oldest son, Joe. He would be perfect. Joe would sail through 2 from learning ABC’s to being awarded a PhD. Joe, 3 , had other ideas. He was always a 4 kid. He wasn’t the kind of boy who threw 5 at passing cars on a freezing winter day or who dropped water balloons on the mailman during the heat of August. But he wasn’t perfect. Especially when it came to that nice little 6 that I had about sailing through school. From the day Joe started kindergarten he struggled with scissors, handwriting and math. Always 7 .

A mom told me her daughter was doing high school algebra while in the sixth grade. Another mom said her son had just taken first place in the district’s annual Math Challenge. After hearing these stories, I would look at Joe and 10 : Why didn’t we raise a mathematical talent? How is he ever going to get into11 if he does not get better at math? Needless to say, my motherly12 never really amounted to much. Does it ever? Moms tend to worry and worry, while whatever they’re worrying about usually 13 on its own. During high school, Joe slowly14 at math. He got through algebra I & II, and geometry, our state requirements for math. I felt greatly15 at his little achievement. Then he announced that he’d take pre-calculus（微積分）in his last year of high school, which16 me a lot. “Why?” I questioned. “Because I need to keep my skills up,” he explained. “I17 math, but I need to take it so I don’t forget how to do it.”“For college,” he added. “I want to do really well in college, Mom. I know it will be18 ,but I think it’s important that I try my best.”My oldest son wasn’t perfect. He wasn’t a math talent, either. But he knew what was important: he was focusing on his19 while I was worrying over his past.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解 A語篇導讀：在人生旅途中總要面對各種各樣的選擇，比如當你在某領域已經(jīng)取得一定成績，你會選擇繼續(xù)留在那個“comfort zone（舒適區(qū)）”還是放棄已經(jīng)擁有的一切去開辟一片新天地呢？本文作者毅然選擇了后者。 1.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第1、2句可知。 2.B句意猜測題。根據(jù)其前后內(nèi)容可知倘若你想做得更好，并且自信很有可能取得進步，那么像庫肯霍夫的園丁那樣，修剪是明智的實踐。have a good shot at (doing) sth.意為“很有可能（達成某目標，得到某職位等）, 猜測或試探做某事的可能性”。 3.C作者意圖題。作者寫這篇文章是號召讀者離開愜意的生活，尋求成長。 4.A主旨大意題。A項（要安逸還是要成長）最合適。 B語篇導讀：如何在求職應聘中克服緊張情緒？作者有五招錦囊妙計幫你建立自信。 5.B本段講到：建立自信妙招之一是了解該公司的相關背景，含招聘者及有關職位的情況，文中“to conduct plenty of research…”與選項“conduct research”吻合。 6.G本段建議應聘者去網(wǎng)上搜尋可能會被問到的問題，并加以訓練，以便在應聘時不致于緊張，文中關鍵詞“questions,answers”等與選項“review those questions…with great answers”吻合。 7.D本段告知求職者應事先操練，本段主題句中的關鍵詞“Practice Often”與選項“…practice before the big day”相一致。 8.E對于自己以往的工作經(jīng)歷，作者建議不要照搬網(wǎng)絡上的“框架”，應更專業(yè)，更個性化，因為“公司會通過網(wǎng)絡搜索引擎來查看”。因此，E項符合題意。 9.F本段建議應聘者對“薪酬、工作時間”等問題做好回答準備，文中關鍵詞“salary”與選項中“Aside from salary…”相吻合。 Ⅱ.完形填空 語篇導讀：文章講述了一位母親非常期待自己的長子能夠完美。但她最后終于悟出——孩子知道什么最重要，并盡全力去爭取，這點比完美更好。 1.B聯(lián)系上文可知，跟大多數(shù)家長一樣，“我”對我們的大兒子Joe也抱有這種期望，期待他很完美。 2.Aschool這里指“在校教育”，作者期待Joe能夠從啟蒙一直學到獲得博士學位為止。根據(jù)第6空所在句子也可知選 A項。 3.A但這只是作者的一廂情愿，Joe卻另有打算。however這里表示轉(zhuǎn)折。 4.C根據(jù)下文可知，這里表示Joe一直以來是一個很“懂事”的孩子，不會扔雪球，不會丟盛滿水的氣球。 5.D根據(jù)freezing winter day可知，在冬天向過往的車輛扔雪球。 6.Bfantasy這里指“美好的幻想”，希望自己的孩子會很完美。 7.D根據(jù)第9空所在的句子可知，Joe在數(shù)學方面尤其吃力。 8.A“通過極大努力”，他才能升入下一年級，而且從未有過名列前茅。effort 努力。 9.D相比之下，“我”非常羨慕那些家長，他們的孩子有數(shù)學基因。 10.C聽了他們的講述，我看著Joe，同時內(nèi)心思考著一些問題，故選C項。wonder想知道，弄明白；consider(尤指為作出決定而)仔細考慮。 11.D對學生而言，如果學不好數(shù)學，他怎能進入大學學習呢？ 12.C根據(jù)以上作者思考的問題可知，作者的擔心從未像今天這么多。 13.D盡管她們所擔心的問題通常會自然消失，但媽媽們總是喜歡去操心。pause暫停；decline下降，拒絕；disappear消失。 14.B根據(jù)第15空所在的句子可知，到了高中階段，Joe的數(shù)學慢慢地提高了。 15.C對于他小小的進步，“我”感到非常的欣慰。feel relieved 感到釋然、欣慰。 16.D根據(jù)上文的介紹以及下文的 “Why?”可知，作者對兒子的決定感到意外。 17.Bhate在這里指“不喜歡”，注意后文轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but。 18.A雖然Joe感到數(shù)學難學，但他認為，為了進入大學，盡力去學非常重要。 19.C這里future與下文的past形成對比。兒子關注未來，而“我”卻還在擔心他的過去。 20.A照應文章主題。對“我”而言，兒子能夠關注未來這一點比成為完美的人更讓“我”高興。 Ⅲ.短文改錯 Almost all parents in China hope their son or daughter will have ∧ happy future.
