21、How to Write a Personal Profile

A personal profile, especially online, is an excellent way to show the essential information about you into a digestible and interesting format, which will appeal to the readers and make them want to find out more about you. 【1】 Here are some notes that you may follow.

• Be honest: Don't lie or exaggerate （夸大）.It blows up in your face sooner or later.

• Boil down your information: The dullest and most inefficient personal profiles are those in which the author writes every little detail about himself. It is vain to assume that anyone would want to read everything about you. 【2】

• Give examples not generalizations ”Directed the play Hamlet in college” is far more engaging than "active in theatre”.

• Use power words: Typically this refers to action verbs. 【3】（ “design” vs. “make”;“cooperative” vs. “work well with others” ）.

•【4】 : Speak positively about yourself. Obviously, don't brag about （吹嘘）your personal skills and talents, but neither is it helpful to criticize yourself.

• Present a 3D image of yourself :【5】Use the mentioned notes to give information about yourself on many subjects such as your personal goals, interests, talents, etc.

A．It is a book of your life in words

B．You can learn a lot from a person's profile

C．Don't just focus on a few areas of your life

D．Be mindful to choose direct and power words

E．Don't use your profile to advertise or make money

F．Take pride in who you are and what you are all about

G．It also shows you have difficulty selecting the vital items

22、   Being bored, lazy and disconnected from physical work leaves lots of time and space for your body and mind to fill with negative substitutes. Just as an old saying goes, idle hands are the devil’s playground.

Neuroscience (神经科学) actually supports this theory. Or at least, research shows that the opposite is true − active hands stimulate your brain to produce chemicals that balance emotions and lower anxiety.

In the 19th century anxious women were often given the prescription to knit (编织) because doctors sensed that it kind of calmed them down. That is not to say that anxiety can be cured by knitting. But it does highlight how repetitive hand movements involved in the craft combine with the satisfaction of casting off a finished product to wear or give. It carries mental health benefits at a deep, biochemical level.

Other research has focused on knitting’s emotional benefits. One study showed that knitting lowers the heart rate by 11 beats per minute. Another linked knitting with a decreased chance of developing cognitive impairment (认知障碍) and memory loss.

And still others point to positive benefits in managing chronic (慢性的) pain and depression. Of course, knitting is not the only way to take your emotional well-being into your own hands. Woodworking, gardening, pottery and painting will also benefit your mental health. And they all involve putting your two hands to work.

What do you do with your hands to keep them busy and keep yourself calm and happy?

【1】What does the underlined word “idle” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Inactive. B.Occupied. C.Flexible. D.Awkward.

【2】Why did doctors in the 19th century advise anxious women to knit?

A.To satisfy their need. B.To reduce their anxiety.

C.To help them make money. D.To equip them with a new skill.

【3】Which of the following best expresses the key point of the text?

A.The advantages of active hands.

B.The effects of repetitive knitting.

C.The reliability of the scientific research.

D.The benefits of keeping positive.

24、The Hunan Satellite TV (HNTV) show “Where are we going, Dad?” is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of“Lost on the way”played by nanny (保姆式的) daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of people’s emotional resonance（共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.

The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.

In real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV show that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34. We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility for raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.

It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go, and society will go where the children go.

【1】Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?

A. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.

B. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.

C. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.

D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.

【2】 In raising a child in modern society, parents should ________.

A. play computer games with their children

B. break down the barrier between children and teachers

C. balance well between family and career

D. keep their children at home to avoid socializing

【3】What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the passage?

A. Optimistic.    B. Proud.

C. Negative.  D. Worried

【4】Which one is the best title of the passage?

A. Confusion behind “Where are we going, dad?”

B. Modern Education is Important

C. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids

D. New Problems in Modern Children’s Education

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

At Piedmont School, everyone wanted to be on the soccer team. Laura had dreamed of earning glory for the Falcons ever since she had witnessed her older brother scoring the winning goal. On the day she joined the team, she felt like she could fly.

Unfortunately, her joy did not last long. She spent most of the matches on the bench. Walking to the car after the last game, Laura’s mother asked if she was feeling fine. Laura kept quiet and tried to smile at her mother. Having spent yet another game as a reserve, Laura had not even broken a sweat. Laura also joked that she would have baked in the hot sun if she had played. Her mother assured her that she would have another chance to play. She also cheered Laura on. Laura could only shake her head as she climbed into the seat, back hunched and face down.

A few days later, Laura’s mother found she sprawled on the couch, watching music videos on her phone, so she tried asking Laura to watch soccer videos instead. Laura looked at her mother blankly, rolling her eyes. “They won’t help me and I can’t get better by myself,” Laura said.

Sighing, her mother sank down on the couch. “Laura, for every lock, there is a key. We just have to find it. What if I film you practising to help you find ways to improve?”

“But the season’s over, Mum. No more practice, remember?” Laura said. Her mother looked at her resolutely and insisted that the best players keep practising even when the season is over. Laura protested, “But to practise plays, I would need at least one other person to join me! It is difficult to do that alone.”

Laura’s mother patted her and said, “We’ll find that key too, but we have to start somewhere.” While Laura’s mother was searching her wallet for her gold key, she smiled gently at Laura. She gave Laura an assuring nod before passing her the key. “This key is a reminder for you to be strong and not give up. Let’s build something tomorrow.” Laura’s mother said.
