24、Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

Use paper with lines

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember that those capital letters are written properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going a little slowly makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

Hold your pencil correctly

When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs, of course!

25、   Imagine you're in a coffee shop and someone starts yelling (叫喊) about how he's been overcharged（多收钱）by the cashier. Even if he's right and the cashier did do something wrong, would you still feel offended（被冒犯的）by the yelling?

Maybe you wouldn't. But it would certainly make most Mexican people uncomfortable.

In Mexico,you hardly ever see people lose emotional(情绪的) control. “This is because there are two things that will get you absolutely nowhere in Mexico: getting visibly (明显地) upset and being overly direct,” reporter Megan Frye wrote for the BBC.

People in Mexico are taught to be “indirect”starting from a young age. There is even a localing saying that goes:

"He who gets angry first loses" This is why Mexican people will usually ty their best to be polite. For example, when asking someone to pass the salt-which is “Pásame la sal, por favor” in Spanish. Mexican people will extend the sentence into “Podrias pasarme le sal si eres tan amable (Could you pleasen pass me the salt, if you would be so kind)." And when someone sitting next to you in a restaurant is smoking, instead of saying “Please don't smoke inside", they would probably express it in a more indirect way: “Excuse me, sir/ma’am. Cigarette smoke hurts me."

While being honest and direct is valued in countries like the US and Canada, it's considered to be rude in Mexico. It's a place where the phrase “beating around the bush” actually has a positive meaning, and being “diplomatic (老练的)” is a virtue (美 德), according to Julia Taylor, a culture blogger from the UK.

But no matter how you may feel about it, it's still better to keep things the local way when you travel to Mexico, because-honest or dishonest-trying to keep everyone happy can't be that bad, can it?

【1】According to the article, in Mexico, ________ .

A.yelling at others is the most impolite thing to do in public

B.people usually speak loudly when they feel offended

C.it's impolite to lose control of one’s feeling in public

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Mexican people are taught to be direct when they are a child.

B.Mexican people would say "Please don't smoke inside” when someone sitting close in a restaurant is smoking.

C.People think being honest and direct is important in the US and Canada.

【3】The underlined phrase "beating around the bush" probably means ________ .

A.avoiding talking in a direct way

B.dealing with others the way you like

C.trying to make everyone indirect

【4】Where is Julia Taylor from?

A.Britain B.America C.Mexico

【5】How does the author feel about being indirect?

A.It should be considered a virtue.

B.It should be respected if it is part of the local culture.

C.It's not a good way to communicate.

26、Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.

For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:

The first one is that I must work in an area I like. It’s the most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won’t have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.

The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. So the work must provide enough problems. I enjoy trying my best for the whole progress. More than just working to live. Of course, I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.

The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be.

I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.

【1】What can a good job choice probably help people do according to the passage?

A．Solve fewer problems.

B．Provide more time.

C．Meet knowledgeable persons.

D．Choose a good life.

【2】Why does the writer consider an enjoyable job most important?

A．Because it can make him more creative.

B．Because it can provide the best for his family.

C．Because he has chances to help others.

D．Because he has chances to study proper courses.

【3】What does the underlined word “remunerated” mean in the passage?

A．Trained.

B．Praised.

C．Accepted.

D．Paid.

【4】What should we do before making a job choice in the writer’s opinion?

A．Become a knowledgeable person.

B．Join the army to become a better person.

C．Make preparations to find a satisfying job.

D．Help young people to choose an interesting job.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A．My Job Choice

B．My Favourite Job

C．My Comfortable Life

D．My Sense of Satisfaction

27、If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school（研究院）. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that   .

A. being out of work is a sad thing

B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting

C. life in a film is more exciting than real life

D. chance never appears when we need it

【2】What troubles Allison after graduation?

A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.

B. She had no money to start a business.

C. She was not sure what to do.

D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.

【3】How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?

A. Uncertain.   B. Amazed.   C. Sorry.   D. Satisfied.

【4】What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. How to deal with uncertainty.

B. What role uncertainty plays in life.

C. Why people fear uncertainty.

D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.

Hanging a red lantern in front of the door is believed to drive off bad luck. The first Chinese paper lanterns 【1】 (invent) during the Eastern Han Dynasty (东汉).
