【題目】I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

【1】When staying with the two girls’ family, the author __________.

A. took a day off every other week

B. often worked long hours

C. was paid for extra work

D. got much help from her boss

【2】Why did the author leave her first job?

A. She was fed up with children.

B. She found a full-time job.

C. She needed a rest after working extra hours.

D. She decided to attend a part-time course.

【3】What has the author learned from her own experiences?

A. One must choose the job she likes.

B. Less successful students can still have a career.

C. Hard work makes an excellent student.

D. Qualifications are necessary for a career.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】作者通過(guò)自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴我們：即使你在學(xué)校不是一個(gè)高才生，你也可以有份職業(yè)。

【1】B

細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第三段的最后一句because I had too many late nights and early mornings with children.可知照顧兩個(gè)女孩時(shí)經(jīng)常工作很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，故選B.

【2】D

細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第四段最后兩句My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.可知由于作者要學(xué)習(xí)兼職課程，所以辭掉了第一份工作，故選D.

【3】B

推理判斷題。文章在前兩段寫到由于她的功課不好，她便認(rèn)為自己不會(huì)有份職業(yè)或事業(yè)，但是通過(guò)她的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，得出結(jié)論：即使你在學(xué)校不是一個(gè)高才生，你也可以有份職業(yè)。故選B.

【題目】How to prepare for exam?

Here are some tips you can read with your child.

【4】 For lessons,pupils must participate in lessons and discussions actively.For exercise,work on the simple ones in the textbook.For theory,pupils can use the mind map method to summarize the facts.

At last,study smart.Focus on chapters that are the core of the subject or difficult chapters.【5】

【題目】For every cup of coffee you made, about two spoons of grounds end up in the waste. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but just think about the millions of coffees consumed around the world every single day, and you’ll see the problem. Sure, some of those coffee grounds are recycled as fertilizer to enrich the soil or beauty products like face masks, but most will be buried into the ground. It was while considering this issue that German product designer Julian Lechner came up with a new way of recycling coffee grounds — turning them into tableware.

“We were always drinking coffee at university,” Lechner remembers. “And that’s how I started to wonder. What happens to all that coffee? It was all just getting thrown away.” He began consulting with his professors about ways of using coffee grounds to create a solid material.

“We tried combining with a lot of different things,” Lechner said, “We even tried sugar. That was close, but basically it was a candy cup. It just kept melting after being used three times.” The whole point was to make it last long, so Lechner and his partners went back to the institute to continue their research. Finally, after many failed experiments, they came up with a mix of coffee grounds and a biopolymer(生物高聚物) that seemed to behave the way Lechner had expected it.

“The moment of knowing the cup would actually stand was super-exciting,” he recalls. “It was wonderful to drink that first coffee out of the cup. It proved to be totally worth the wait.” And his creation has proven commercially successful, which is just the icing on the cake. The coffee cups are now present in ten shops across Europe, and the company can hardly keep up with demand, regularly selling out of its stock online.

Lechner will soon launch a larger line of coffee grounds cups and also work on a travel mug. But those are just short-term plans, as Lechner hopes to one day use recycled coffee grounds to create all sort of useful stuff—like sheets and furniture in cafés and restaurants.

【1】What do people do with coffee grounds before Lechner?

A. Make products beautiful.

B. Improve the soil.

C. Produce drinking cups.

D. Create solid materials.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Candy cups can last longer than coffee cups.

B. Coffee grounds are rich in biopolymer.

C. Biopolymer can get coffee cups used repeatedly.

D. Lechner invented coffee cups alone.

【3】What does the underlined phrase refer to in Paragraph 4?

A. Profits from coffee cup business.

B. Creation of coffee cups.

C. Decreasing demands for coffee grounds.

D. Consumption of delicious iced coffee.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A new way of recycling coffee cups.

B. Commercial success from consuming coffee.

C. Recycling coffee grounds into stuff like coffee cups.

D. Different product designers of recycling coffee grounds.
