20、ead of People Operations.When the company was small,Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard, Stanford,MIT and many other Ivy League schools. But Bock said it was the “wrong”hiring strategy. Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many other places,from state schools in Cal

21、ifornia to New York.“What we find is the best people from places like that are just as good，if not better，as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school，”said Bock，who just authored a book titled“Work Rules!”Every year，2 million people apply to get a job at Google. Bock himself has seen some 25,0

22、00 rsums.So what else does Google not care about:Grades:Googles data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career，but do not matter after that.Brain-teasers:Gone are interview questions such as:Why are manhole covers（井盖)round? or How many golf balls can fit in a school b

23、us?“Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,”Bock said“Theyre a really coachable skill.The more you practice,you get better at it.”Heres what Google does care about:Problem solvers:Your cognitive ability(认知能力),or how well you solve problems.Leaders:The idea is not whether you were

24、president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but rather:“When you see a problem do you step in,help solve it,”and then critically，“Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give up power?”Googleyness:Thats what Googl

25、e calls its cultural fit.Its not“Are you like us?”Bock said.“We actually look for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.”“Whats most important is that people are intellectually humble,willing to admit when theyre wrong,and care about the environment around them.because we w

26、ant people who think like owners not employess,”Bock said.The least important thing?Knowing how to do the job.“We figure if you get the first three right youll figure it out most of the time.”1、What does Bock mean in Paragraph 2?APeople from state schools can be as good.BGoogle no longer hires peopl

29、summers fondly, as many of us do. Those golden days in which I would leave the house after a still sleepy, leisurely breakfast and come home only for lunch in the middle of a day spent entirely outdoors. We did not live in town and, thus, playmates were limited to siblings (兄弟姐妹) and the cousins who

30、 lived down the road.Our backyard became the playground in which our imaginations would run wildturning those few acres into magical forests, the creek (小溪) into a violent river and our trusty dog, Rex, into the many roles of horse, monster and any other creature that we children did not want to pla

31、y. By the end of the three months of summer break we were sunburned from our hours in the sun, full of the memories of a thousand magical moments and bonded to our siblings in a way that winters forced hibernation (冬眠) never seemed to connect us.Today, I live on the same acreage that I did as a chil

32、d. My children have the blessing of having the same grassy patches to scratch their bare feet as they run through it, the same creek to stomp(跺脚)through, and not the same dogbut their very own energetic pup to imagine away the days with.However, this is not the same world as it was twenty, thirty ye

33、ars ago. There are screens everywhere in the house to demand attentiontelevisions with hundreds of channels, computers with access to a thousand entertaining sites, tablets stocked with apps. There is also no longer the expectation of a stretch of an unscheduled three months. Their school friends te

34、ll competitive stories of carefully planned vacations, spending time traveling to all of the local attractionsvarious parks, the zoo, the science center, all of the festivals which come breezing through town. On the very first day of school they will be asked to list their favorite activities of the

35、 summer and no longer are these lists filled with things like finding wood to make a bridge over a creek or a day spent in imaginative play with their siblings. The lists are now full of trips, overscheduled days and “camps” that no longer offer a stay in nature.Our children have become used to bein

36、g entertained every minute. In our house, we have limits on electronics and kick the kids outside on a nice day. Even as we try as parents to set limits and get our children out in nature, the new cry of childhood seems to be “Im bored,” which is not really just meaning “Im bored,” “but “Please find

37、 something to entertain me, as I no longer can entertain myself even for a short period of time.” Our children no longer know how to sit in silence, entertain themselves while even waiting for a few minutes and have lost the awe of nature as they have become addicted to screen time.We have made a ch

38、oice in this household to do what is no longer expected of children in many householdswe will ensure that there are days of “boredom.” We refuse to spend our days scheduling our childrens every hour. There will be many days with no plans at all, when they will be sent outside with only the grass and

39、 the trees and their own imaginations to entertain them.The screens will be turned off and our children will find that times of quiet can be just as or even more entertaining. They will bond with their brother and sister, making memories that they will replay in their minds well into adulthood. Even

40、 though sunscreen will be religiously applied, they will leave summer with sunburned and scratches coming from climbing trees, stomping through creeks and chasing the dog in the field.This summer I will be giving my children the greatest gift of allboredom. For inside boredom is the gift of getting

41、to know your own mind, of finding comfort and joy in nature and in the realization that the greatest gifts are experience, not things.1、From the first two paragraphs we can know that the author .Aparticipated in many organized activitiesBenjoyed an unscheduled vacationCexplored magical forests and a

42、 violent riverDrealized the strength of patience2、The author thinks todays childrens activities are .Aless meaningfulBless accessibleCmore related to natureDmore in line with the nature of play3、What is the real reason for childrens feeling of boredom?AChildren are addicted to screen time.BChildren

43、are limited to using electronics.CChildren have no patience with everything.DChildren lack the experience of exploring entertainment.4、What is the authors attitude towards his childrens childhood?ASympathetic.BEnvious.CUnsatisfactory.DIndifferent.5、What is he authors purpose to ensure children the d

44、ays of “boredom”?ATo keep children away from electronics.BTo encourage children to climb trees and stomp through creeks.CTo set aside more time to improve their academic performance.DTo provide children with the opportunity to seek happiness in nature.6、What might be the best title of the passage?AT

45、he gift of boredomBThe memory of childhoodCThe attraction of natureDThe experience of two generations24（8分）Food storing is common in members of the crow（乌鸦）family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved（进化）specifically because it gives crows a

46、 survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hourssomething we wouldnt expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instan

47、tly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token （礼品券）from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is dif

48、ferent from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that chimpanzees select, transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the futurebut they left an important

49、 question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring

50、behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typically occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals dont evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it sug

51、gests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.1、Whats the new finding about so

52、me crows according to Paragraph 1?AThey can store food. BThey can use tools to recover food.CThey can store and recover tools. DThey can select and store food.2、What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?AReject it casually. BExchange it for food.CSave it as their food. DBuild a n

53、est with it.3、What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?AThey are controversial. BThey are disappointing.CThey are contradictory. DThey are convincing.4、What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?AThey develop only with age.BIt is unclear how theyv

54、e evolved now.CNo animals but crows benefit from them.DPlanning for the future helps their evolution.25（10分）It was Groundhog Day. A winter storm had hit overnight too. I tried to open my backdoor only to find six inches of wet, heavy snow piled up against it. I knew I had quite a job of shoveling ou

55、t ahead of me, so I reached over to grab my snow shovel. It looked a lot more ready to work than I did. I sighed and pulled on my boots, gloves, and heavy coat.The wind chill was below zero and cut into my face as I slowly shoveled off my deck. After that I stayed my way over to my daughters house s

56、hoveling the path as I walked. It took a while to get her driveway clear and I knew I still had a lot to do. Next came the paths down the hill to my own cars covered in snow. I had grabbed the broom to sweep them off as well. I winced when the breeze blew the swept snow back into my face. Then I sta

57、rted to shovel out my driveways. My back was aching as I worked. I wished I could be building a snowman instead of shoveling. Winter sure had seemed a lot more fun when I was a boy.When I was done I examined my work. It didnt look half bad. I smiled and looked at the woods covered in white. They wer

58、e such a special sight. I leaned on my shovel and took it all in. Then I started up the hill with the snow shovel in one hand and the broom in the other. Suddenly, an urge came over me and I dropped them both. I spread my arms, fed back into the blanket of white and happily moved my arms and legs to

59、 make an angel in the snow.As you go through the seasons of this life take joy in your work. Take joy in your life. Remember that the course of your days rests in your own hands.1、Whats the theme of the text?AEnjoy winter work. BTake things seriously.CTake joy in your life. DFight against cold.2、Whi
