21、About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”

  My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”

  Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.

  The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”

  As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.

【1】Why did Lori make the call?

A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.

B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.

C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.

D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.

【2】What impressed “I” by Lori?

A. Lori was good at running recruiting.

B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.

C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.

D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.

B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.

C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.

D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.

B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.

C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.

D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.

22、   The playing field is never even or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure.

My kids tell me it's unfair to play with the big children. I tell them that's right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually can be a boon to you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if it gets up early it is sure to get the worm.

I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere. Instead, make the most out of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining that unfair advantage and in order to do that, build your inner strength, When you empower （武装） yourself, you are gaining skills or abilities， confidence and self-esteem （自尊）.

You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically ? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.

You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven't yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building advantages so that you never have to say that it's Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see unfairness in this way too.

【1】What docs the underlined word "boon" in Paragraph 2 probably mean ?

A．Something that is very terrible.

B．Something that is very helpful

C．Something that is very kind

D．Something that is very scared

【2】What can we infer from the example of the playing field used by the author?

A．The author wants to introduce his topic

B．The author wants to support his opinion

C．He wants tell us that having an advantage is needed

D．He wants to show skills and attitudes are important in playing games

【3】What is the best way to deal with unfairness according to the author?

A．Just accept it.

B．Thy to change it.

C．Simply ignore it.

D．Make good use of it.

【4】You are told to look at your place in the world in order to ________.

24、   When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different―I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips?” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.

In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing (噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t ave to deal with people’ s questions, As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.

My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s side of the family, My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.

My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.

Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.

【1】How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks?

A.She felt excited to show her difference.

B.She felt annoyed to give others an answer.

C.She was scared to be made fun of by people.

D.She was bored to be faced with the question.

【2】Who has the similar birthmarks like the author?

A.Her mother. B.Her grandmother.

C.Her cousin. D.Her uncle.

【3】What can be inferred about the author’s cousin?

A.She dislikes talking about her birthmark.

B.She never judges others by their looks.

C.She is more confident than the author.

D.She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.

【4】What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Brilliant. B.Symbolic.

C.Harmful. D.Impressive.
