21、Aaron Carter isn’t like other 12-year-olds. He doesn’t go to school, and he’s already got a job. He is a big pop star. A few years ago he started his singing with Crazy Little Party Girl, which became a hit at once. Now he goes around the world and his songs are in the tops.
Because he’s traveling around all the time Aaron doesn’t have to go to school, but don’t envy him too much — he still has to do lessons and homework. And he is good at learning.
“I have to fit my schoolwork around my singing,” he explains. “But I’m lucky because I have a private tutor who travels with me. I sometimes have to have lessons on a plane. That’s really interesting!”
Aaron’s favorite subject is math but he hates history. He knows clearly that having a good singing career doesn’t mean he can go without schoolwork.
“It would be easy to think that I don’t need to do well in exams, but that would be crazy,” he says. “It’s important to get my qualifications (资格) so that I have something to fall back on. Besides, it’s interesting to learn about other people and cultures.”
Aaron’s favorite type of music is rock ‘n’ roll. “The best thing about being a singer” he says, “is that you get to travel all around the world. But the worst thing is that you’re away from home so much that you don’t get to see your friends or family.”

22、One of the most important skills in building a successful career is listening. While drive and confidence may get you in the door of a dream job, listening enables you to build successful partnerships that will help you climb to the top. 【1】 When colleagues feel listened to, they feel safe to communicate and enjoy working together.
So how do people become good listeners?
【2】
While we all have our own ideas, to properly listen, we must put these aside when the other person is speaking. Many people succeed because they’ve learned to listen with the purpose of understanding what the other person is trying to convey. It helps you get important information, of course, but it’s more than that: It’s also the greatest sign of respect you can give someone.
Ask question.
This shows the other person that you re paying attention and interested, which will lead to a more honest and productive conversation. Clarify things that may be unclear, reflect back what you hear and ask questions that allow the person to unpack the topic. 【3】
Be supportive.
Create a safe and comfortable workplace by showing your support. 【4】 Body language can also play a significant role in creating a supportive environment. Positive feedback (反馈) is an important part too. Gaining new information is the best way to stay on top of the game, no matter what the job is.
Be patient with yourself.
Don’t forget to be patient with yourself. 【5】 Take the time to manage your success in this field and remember that little change can go a long way.
A.Listen with the goal of comprehension.
B.Learning to listen effectively doesn’t happen overnight.
C.Here’s how to build your career by being a good listener.
D.Understand what words will truly persuade the other person.
E.Open-ended questions are the best as they don’t force a direct answer.
F.Sincere listening is transformative as it helps create a supportive workplace.
G.This can be done by showing confidence in the person and avoiding criticism.
23、 The Cassini-Huygens space probe, which reached Saturn last week has sent back amazing photographs of the planet's famous rings viewed in ultraviolet light. 【1】 The different colors show exactly what the rings are. The red means the ring contains tiny pieces of rock and the blue and green is likely to be a mixture of water and frozen gases. 【2】 That's why it is so light and it could float on water—if a big enough ocean could be found!
【3】 It aims to explore the planet and its rings and moons. It was launched in 1997 and its mission was to explore the “gas giant” planet, which is the furthest planet to be seen from the Earth without a telescope.
Scientists say the spacecrafts four-year tour of Saturn may tell them how the rings are formed. 【4】

Phoebe has a strange shape. 【5】 Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, is believed to be the only body in the solar system other than the Earth with liquid on the surface.

24、At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example,when I was 12,I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico,to always put on sunscreen,not to wander away from my grandmother,and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries,she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens,she continued to give me space to grow and learn,even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year,I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers:While many of them wanted to stay close to home,I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away,she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year,as my mom granted me more freedom,was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life,and especially when I was little,the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards;getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important,like education,and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.
