21、Why Do We Find It Hard to Say “No”?

As we all know, saying “no” to others is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. 【1】 Below are common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”:

● 【2】 You are a kind soul at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may eat into your time.

●Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face saving is important. 【3】

●Wanting to be agreeable. You don’t want to alienate (疏远) yourself from the group because you’re not in agreement. So you agree to others’ requests.

●Fear of conflict. 【4】 This might lead to an ugly confrontation (面对). Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future.

● 【5】 Perhaps you are worried saying “no” means closing doors. For example, one of my friends’ wives was asked to work in another department in her company. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion chances in the future.

A．Wanting to help others.

B．Fear of losing chances.

C．Wanting to keep a good relationship.

D．I slowly realized I needed to learn to say “no”.

E．You are afraid the person might be angry if you refuse him/her.

F．It means not making others look bad or lose face.

G．To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us from it.

22、Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.

Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.

Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they lookfor a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing yourself and your dependants (受赡养者)with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.

In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.

【1】Few school leavers have plans for the long term when finding jobs because ________.

A. they are lowly paid

B. they are not well trained

C. it is difficult to get employed

D. they don't know what they are interested in

【2】According to the passage, the difficulty in choosing a suitable job mainly lies in that ________.

A. much competition has to be faced

B. many employees have no working experience

C.  the young people only care about how much they can earn

D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance

【3】In the writer's opinion, which of the following statements is most important?

A. Your job must suit your interest.

B. Your job must set a pattern of life.

C. Your job must offer you a high salary.

D. Your job must not ruin your talents.

23、   Each country has its own secret to happiness, If "pyt", which closely means “don't worry about it and stuff happens", explains a relaxed attitude of Danish people, "niksen" will reveal how Dutch people combat （对抗）stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.

The term "niksen" origins from the Dutch word "niks", which refers to "nothing', Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating on the present moment. It's about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.

In practice, this means "hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music as long as it's  without purpose” according to Time Magazine.

Niksen sounds contrary to the advice we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we're constantly told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But niksen opposes that mentality( 心态). It offers the chance to "deliciously do nothing", as Carolien Hamming, a coach at CSR Centrum, an organization devoted to fighting stress and burnout in the Netherlands, told Time.

She thinks that niksen is essential to staying healthy, since it’s a form of mental relaxation and healing. Just as a wild animal lies in wait for their prey, niksen seems to be a natural state of being.

For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It's also a means to imagine new ideas or plans. As an early adopter（尝试者）of niksen, Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing - just staring and listening to myself - my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists,” she told the MetroUK.

Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-bom writer Ogla Mecking wrote in US-based Whoolly Magazine, niksen is the "thorough enjoyment of life’s pauses".

Everyone is encouraged to embrace your niksen moments. They revitalize （使恢复元气） you and give you the strength needed to face everyday challenges.

【1】What does niksen means?

A.Living in the moment.

B.Leading a healthy lifestyle.

C.Being free and doing nothing.

D.Using your wildest imagination.

【2】Holden’s example is to show ____.

A.how niksen improves one's mental health

B.niksen is closely related to stress reduction

C.niksen can shorten the distance between people

D.niksen helps people come up with new thoughts

【3】The underlined word "thorough" is closest in meaning to _______.

A.long B.full

C.unexpected D.quiet

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The introduction to a special Dutch lifestyle.

B.Suggestions on how to balance work and rest.

C.The importance of allowing time to pause life.

D.An explanation of some Danish words about life attitudes.

【5】From the passage, we can know that _______.

A.people can restrengthen themselves to face challenges by niksen

B.a wild animal usually lies in wait for their prey just as niksen advices

C.Danish people are stressful and tired because of their special lifestyle

D.Carolien Hamming thinks niksen is the most important way to keep fit

24、With an eye for style and a heart for the environment, 18-year-old Alexis Giger launched a do-it-yourself blog aimed at “reducing your environmental impact fashionably”.

The idea was sparked (激发) by the ecology unit in her biology class at Charlotte Latin School last year, she said, which taught her about issues like deforestation and habitat destruction. “I started thinking about what I could do to stop the wastefulness in my immediate community,” the fashion lover said.

The blog, ecouturieracg.wordpress.com, aims to make reusing thrift store (旧货店) finds or last season’s pieces easy and fashionable while cutting down on the resources consumed by garment production, Alexis said. Through online research, she discovered that a simple cotton T-shirt takes more than 700 gallons of water to make.

“It made me realize that the fashion industry consumes huge amounts of natural resources as it relies on producing garments quickly and in large supply – many of the garments are only intended to be worn three or four times,” she said.

Alexis had a number of tools to help her get started. Her mom, Kimberly, taught her to sew when she was 5. Her grandmother taught her to crochet (钩边) around the same time. Alexis said she also gained technical knowledge and inspiration from her part-time job at a clothing company that creates theater wardrobes for schools and drama productions.

Prior to the blog launch, she spent several months illustrating “recycling” projects by creating photo tutorials. Though Ecouturier hasn’t been online long, she’s been getting positive feedback. “I’ve had people come up to me in the hall and say, ‘Hey, I saw your blog. I’m working on one of the projects right now,’” Alexis said.

She said she hasn’t bought a brand-new piece of clothing since last July, and her thrift store shopping has paid off with finds such as a $5 (31 yuan) dress she wore to homecoming.

“Taking an hour from Saturday afternoon to make something for yourself can really have an impact on the environment. A little change every day can really add up,” Alexis said.

【1】What inspired Alexis to launch a do-it-yourself blog?

A．Her talent at making handicrafts.

B．Her fascination with the fashion industry.

C．Her part-time work experiences.

D．Her growing concern for the environment after taking a biology class.

【2】What is the content of the blog Alexis set up?

A．It sells items made from thrift store finds.

B．It teaches people how to choose thrift store goods.

C．It encourages people to remake their clothing in a cool way.

D．It informs people of the bad effects of deforestation and habitat destruction.

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．In order to promote her blog, Alexis is spending a lot of time online every day.

B．The projects on Alexis’ blog have convinced some people to try recycling clothes themselves.

C．Alexis has been dreaming of working in the fashion industry since she was a child.

D．To start the blog, Alexis learned from her mother and grandmother how to sew and crochet.

【4】The underlined word “feedback” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．attitude

B．advice

C．response

D．approach

【5】Which of the following best describes Alexis?

A．Creative and responsible.

B．Smart and cooperative.

C．Independent and humorous.

D．Fashionable and amusing.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There was once a boy in ragged clothes running to ask a building contractor(包工头）who wore elegant clothes in a construction site of a skyscraper(摩天大楼），“How could I become as rich as you when I grow up?"

With a glance at the boy,the tall and strong-build contractor replied,"I would like to tell you a story first about three diggers.The first digger liked holding a spade(锹） without doing anything but saying that he wanted to be a boss in the future.The second digger liked complaining about the long-time work and his low salary.The third digger always quietly devoted himself to digging without making any claims.Several years later, the first digger was still holding his spade in the original place and the second took an excuse of work injury for early retirement.Only the third digger became the boss of the building company.Do you understand the moral of this story?Just go to buy a red shirt and work hard.”

The little boy was puzzled and could not figure out the implication of the story.So he asked the contractor to explain further.Pointing to the builders who were working on the scaffold(脚手架），the contractor talked to the little boy,"Look at those people! They are all my workers.I can't remember all of their names,and even I have no impression of some of them.But if you look carefully,you will notice a sunburned man in red among them.I notice him very early.He seems to be working harder with higher spirits than others.He is always the first one to work every day while the last one to leave.It is exactly his red shirt that makes him stand out among all the workers.Now I am about to ask him to be my taskmaster and I believe he will work even much harder from now on.Maybe he will soon be promoted to my assistant."

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

The contractor told the boy that was also how he had got where he was then.
