Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I cant get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?The regulations（规章）say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off.

She was soon out of breath. “I suppose I had better go to the doctor,” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem. “Im not at all surprised, ”he said. “Its clear what your problem is.”He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you dont do what I say, Mrs. Parker,” he said, “you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.” Ellen was very worried as she left the doctors. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time. The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butchers shop（肉铺）. “Id like ten pounds of steak（牛排）, please,” she said. “Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale（天平）. “Thats just under ten pounds,” he said. “Thats big enough,” Mrs. Parker said. The butcher worked out the price. “At 4. 99 a pound. That will be 49. 50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?” “Oh, I dont want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said. “If you dont want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “why did you ask me to get it for you?” “My doctor told me that I am overweight and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like.” 24. The reason why Ellen Parker visited the doctor is that .

Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues or managers can cause difficulties and even endanger your work. Its vital to strike the right balance between getting along with colleagues and keeping your privacy safe. “As a matter of fact, it takes skills to communicate in the office. You can neither chat too much, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said Yang Yudan, vice HR director (人事经理) at P&G. According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is potentially risky. Cui Xia, 21, who has been working for an IT company for only 2 months, learned this hard way when she found out that everyone knew she had broken up with her boyfriend. “I spoke about it with two colleagues in the tearoom and told my friend via phone, and then the news spread.” And her boss finally heard about it and asked her not to let it affect her work performance. Sometimes revealing private matters in a thoughtless manner can result in disastrous consequences. Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didnt realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang. “Then our HR told me its forbidden to talk about payments in the office.” HR expert Yang Yudan also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. Its unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are. To sum up, Yang Yudan advises office workers to be more aware of their images when talking to colleagues. “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume (无形的简历) and may slow down your career progression.” 28.Which of the following topics is NOT suitable when chatting in the office?A. Makeup B. Football matches C. Annual earnings D. TV shows such as Running Man 29.We may know from the passage that _.A. women often talk more about their personal affairs than men. B. to avoid getting into trouble, youd better keep silent at work. C. its wise to talk about how much you earn each month with your colleagues. D. revealing too much about your privacy may have a negative effect on your career. 30.Whats the purpose of the passage?A. To mention a phenomenon. B. To provide some suggestions.C. To give professional guides. D. To offer necessary warnings.31.The best title for this passage is _. A. At work, No chatting! B. Desire for privacy.C. At work, Keep it to yourself! D. Learn to respect others privacy. DScientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.32. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means _.A. healthy B. lazy C. ordinaryD. poor 33. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that _.A. housewives are poorer than career womenB.housewives have more children than career womenC.housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD.housewives eat less food than career women 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A.Busy people have nothing to do at home.B.High achievers dont care about their families.C.There is no friendship and warmth at home.D.A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.35. The best title for this passage may be _.A.People Should Find a JobB.Working Hard Is Good for HealthC.People Should Make More Friends by WorkD.The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The beauty of confidence is that it is possible to learn it, no matter who you are!
