Are you going to high school to go on with your study? What will you do if you can’t ? Don’ worry. Vocational (职业的) schools are open for you because our country is in need of people with special skills.

Compared with common high schools, vocational schools, vocational schools have more advantages. Firstly, our country spends a lot of money on vocational education. So you need to pay only a smaller half of the school fee (学费). Secondly, in here you have already started learning practical skills that you can use all your life. But some other students may still worry about how to spend the long three years at high schools. Why? Because they didn’t choose the school that suits them. And finally, when they are still wondering where to go, you are already able to live on your own lands proudly. And perhaps it won’t be long before you are on the road to success.

People take different roads because they have different potentials (潜力). So different students should choose different schools. Go to high school if you think that you go farther on that road. Choose a key high school if you are lucky enough to have the chance. Enter a vocational school if you are interested in the lessons there and you are better at making things with your hands.

In a word, think carefully and see what kind of person you are. Remember, always choose things that suit you.

Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. ( ) 62 The second paragraph talks about the advantages of vocational schools. ( ) 63 The underlined word “practical” means “useless”.

( ) Vocational school students needn’t pay for their education.

( ) 65 Key high school students must be better at making things than vocational school students. ( ) 66 The writer wants the students to choose things that are suitable for them.

C

“Your hair looks great!” “I love your new mobile phone!” “You really did a good job!” These are some popular English compliments (赞美) you might hear.

In the UK and many other western countries, complimenting someone is a useful way to help break the ice and start a nice conversation. It’s normal to compliment people for their clothes, hair or taste in general. The most common compliments are on someone’s appearance (You look beautiful!), possessions (财产) (What a nice car!), performance (表现) (That was a really interesting speech!), skills (You speak French really well!)

If an English speaker compliments you, there are different ways to reply. Some people may say “Thank you”. They may also return the compliment (You look great, too!) or play it down (The shirt? It’s really quite old.)

No matter how they reply to the compliments, don’t be afraid to compliment someone in English. You’ll probably make their day!

Choose the best answer from A, B or C according to what you read.

( ) 67 In some western countries, ______ is a useful way to start nice conversation.

Do you know Weibo? Do you write a Weibo? If you don’t, you are “out”! Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a blog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog. 72

Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009. 73 In 2011, the number of Chinese microbloggers grew to 300 million. 74 For many microblog users, it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, daily life, pictures, music and so on. Many stars and famous people also write microblogs and share (分享) good things with their fans.

It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. 75 For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海啸) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can protect people from radiation” were hot on mircoblogs. 76 Later people realized it was just a rumor (谣言).

In a word, microblog plays a new role in the life of Chinese people.

Complete the passage with the following sentences. Each choice should be used only once. A It soon caused a crazy buying of salt. B However, this can also lead to problems and even cause panic (恐慌). C Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words. D Now more and more people are interested in writing microblogs. E It has developed very fast over the years. F Because they can get more information on a mircoblog. E

A jobless man wanted to be an office boy at Mircosoft. The manager met him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form to fill in and then you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’m sorry,” said the manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn’t living cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man came to know that he could make money in this way, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles (运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.

One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven’t got one.” His friends

couldn’t believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Mircosoft!” Fill in the blanks according to the passage. Only one word for each blank.

One day a man had a job 77 at Microsoft. Because he didn’t have an e-mail, he didn’t get the job. 78 he left Mircosoft, he bought many tomatoes in the supermarket. On that day he got fifty dollars by 79 tomatoes. He realized it was a good way to make money. Several years later, he became a 80 businessman in the US. The story tells us that nothing in the world is 81 if we work hard.
