I’m often told how I have a dream job，that I work for a great company，getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day，and especially that I get to work from my home．
Usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home． They spend most of their career working from an office and hate it．
In fact，I love being able to work from home and make my own hours．I truly appreciate being able to drop what I’m doing to attend kids or go shopping，but there’s a side to it we don’t often talk about，the hard side．No one wants to believe people like me，working from home，have anything to complain about．Really，I’m not going to complain，but I do want to share a few things about telecommuting（遠程辦公）that few home -based people want to tell you，because working from home doesn’t look so wonderful．
One of the reasons I love my job is the flexibility．I know that I can volunteer for school projects，meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done．But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to pepper their days with fun distractions？So while my husband and kids are watching a movie，I’m working until midnight．Besides，when you work from home，you’re held to your phone and Skype（網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話）in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours．So it’s not so easy to be flexible！
67．We learn from the passage that the writer_____________.
A．is quite satisfied with her present work
B．can balance her work and family life well
C．complains about the disadvantages of working from office
D． presents some unknown facts of working from home
68．The last paragraph mainly tells us that__________.
A． you’re not as flexible as you think you are
B． you’re usually a slave to yourself
C． the writer can always make full use of the freedom
D． the writer is always busy with her work
69．The writer probably agrees that__________．
A．east or west，home working is the best
B．freedom should always come before work
C．get work done，or you’ll have no freedom
D．a(chǎn)ll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
70．Who is the passage mainly intended for?
A．Telecommuters． B．Office workers．
C．Job hunters． D．Researchers．

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年湖北省黃岡市高三年級3月測試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.
Real radio
In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many public radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.
The festivals
I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already exchanged my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.
The famous people
When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus moment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.
1.The underlined sentence "There is,simply, no dead air." probably means____.
A. there is no useless radio programmes in the USA
B. there is no useful radio programmes in the USA
C. there is no polluted air in the USA
D. there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA
2.There are so many festivals that_____.
A. I often leave campus for more than few days
B. I often attend some of them in person
C. I bought a bigger Ford? Mustang
D. I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa
3.The author thinks the famous people in the USA _____.
A. are just Like lions????????????? ???????????? B. are well-known but ordinary
C. are disappointing????????????? D. are inspiring
4.The author is most likely to be _____.
A. a director in America????????????? ?????????? B. a professor in South Africa
C. a student in America????????????? ???????? D. an actor in South Africa

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆浙江省高二上學(xué)期期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：信息匹配
閱讀下列信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應(yīng)題號的相應(yīng)選項字母涂黑。
A. When I take notes I always rewrite them. I also add things as I go, especially from the readings that I feel are important. This helps me remember things better and as I look things up in the text and add notes, it brings a deeper understanding of the material.
B. When I have to learn a new word, I write down the word and its meaning in the back of my notebook. Then I make sure to use the word at least 7 times in the next week. I put a check next to the word each time I use it to be sure. This way I can remember that word better.
C. I sit in the front of the classroom. That way there are no distractions between me and the teacher and I can focus my attention on the class. The further back you sit, the more kids there are in front of you who can distract you.
D. I watch my teachers carefully to find what’s the most important. Some start moving around a lot, some raise their voice, and some start moving their hands about. When this happens, I write down what they’re saying in my notebook.
E. Here are some tips on how to create a good study environment: Find a place to study and keep it for study only. Equip the environment with all study needs. Control the noise level at acceptable levels. Avoid relaxing while working.
F. When I work on math problems, I write each step as I do it. This makes me think carefully about what I am doing. If the answer doesn’t seem right, I can go back through the steps I wrote to see where I went wrong.
閱讀下列學(xué)習(xí)方面的問題，并與上面的經(jīng)驗相匹配。
1.I love learning new words, but I’m confused about how to remember them well. Whenever I meet a new word, I look it up in the dictionary for its meaning and write it down. However, a few days later, I’ll forget what the word means. It’s really a headache.
2.I can’t concentrate on what the teacher says in class. I sit at the back of the classroom. What the students in the front row do always attracts my attention. I’m wondering if anyone else has the same problem.
3.It’s impossible to write down everything the teacher says in my notebook. I have been told to take down the important points, but how can I tell which points are important?
4.I take good notes in class. I’m curious to know how to make good use of these notes to improve my understanding. I’m often confused about how to deal with the notes.
5.I enjoy studying at home at night or over the weekend. But sometimes I just can’t focus. I think it’s the study environment that makes me not feel like studying. Who can tell me how to improve the study environment?
