26、Nearly one in four Americans made money over the last 12 months by using their personal computers or other devices connected to the Internet. The Pew Research Center, an independent research group in Washington, found that people are using the Internet to find extra work. They go online to sell things such as used books and furniture or they offer to provide services such as babysitting, house cleaning or computer repairs.

Pew found that income earned on the Internet can come in many forms. Some said they had jobs that paid a few pennies each to take surveys. In these surveys, people are asked for their opinions of different products or well-known people. About two percent of Americans earned money from ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. When drivers are ready to pick up passengers, they use their ride-share company’s app. The computer program lets them know when passengers are ready to be picked up and how to reach them. Some people make their homes, apartments, or rooms inside their homes, available for money to people visiting their cities.

About 60 percent of people say the income they earn is important to them. But just one in five people who sell things online say the income is enough to be important to their lives. Only 16 percent believe doing online work will lead to a meaningful career. But 37 percent say the extra income earned from online jobs helps them make up for shortages in money.

The number one reason people gave for taking online jobs was that the work gave them something to do and was fun. What kind of people work online or use online devices to find work?The answer appears to be: mostly people who already have jobs.

【1】What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

B．How to find extra work online.

C．A new way of making money.

D．A new research on the Internet.

【2】How many forms of earning money online are mentioned in paragraph 2?

B．2.

C．3.

D．4.

【3】How does the author make the point more persuasive?

A．By listing numbers.

B．By asking questions.

C．By telling stories.

D．By doing surveys.

【4】What is implied in the last paragraph?

A．Many people have found jobs using the Internet.

B．Those who have jobs enjoy making money online.

C．The future of the Internet is questioned.

D．More people will lose their job soon.

Changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain. 【2】 Imagine the structure of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations. When you were a child as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. 【3】 Now your brain makes that map more efficient.

As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? 【4】 As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient.

This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you are good at and what you love most. 【5】 Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.

28、   How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier.

Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them.

You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters（水疱）or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist.

Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them.

This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.

【1】Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?

A.They have much emotion in the old ones.

B.They are more comfortable.

C.New shoes always harm the feet.

D.They look better than the new ones.

【2】According to the passage, we know that people _______.

A.don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very well

B.are positive and open - minded to accept new things

C.actually know the change will finally be good for them

D.don’t accept new patterns because they are not good

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it.

B.Most people pay more attention to the future life.

C.One’s attitude to towards something is usually traditional.

D.The more often we change, the better our life will be.

31、

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
