21、How to get a good letter of recommendation

Your professors are often asked to write hundreds of letters of recommendation during teaching in colleges. 【1】, they do play a key role in helping employers get an idea of an applicant’s personality, persistence, and passion. Here are four points to keep in mind when it comes to asking for letters of recommendation.

【2】. Ideally, the letter writer will know you well and have plenty of positive things to say without much make-up. But it never hurts to share your personal statement that includes your accomplishments and passions. After all, it’s you that know how to let your highlights stand out.

Don’t tell your professor what to say. This one is a little tricky, because it seems to contradict the tip above. 【3】, but avoid telling him exactly what to write. Professors know how to pen an effective letter of recommendation well.

Don’t ask for a letter at the last minute. Rule of thumb: Give the professor at least a few months’ notice. Remember, your professor will spend quite a while composing the letter of recommendation, so express your request in a respectful, appreciative and thoughtful way. A last minute request will annoy the professor, and it may also lead to a sub- standard letter. 【4】.

Express your gratitude. A thoughtful letter of recommendation takes time. 【5】. Most professors write dozens of recommendations, if not more. Be sure to let them know that you appreciate their time and effort. Don’t risk ending up with a regret by forgetting to send a handwritten note with a sincere thank you.

A．Nobody wins in such a hurry

B．Expose a real yourself accordingly

C．Maintain a good relationship with them

D．And chances are you aren’t the only one asking

E．Give the professor a broad outline about your request

F．While these letters may not be as important as test scores

G．Because the employers care much about the recommendation

22、When you want advice to achieve something, whom would you rather ask: the top performer in that area or someone barely getting by? Most people would choose the top performer. That person’s advice, however, may not be any more helpful.

“Skillful performance and skillful teaching are not always the same thing, so we shouldn’t expect the best performers to necessarily be the best teachers as well,” said David Levari (Harvard Business School), lead author of a recent Psychological Science article.

Across four studies, he and co-authors found that top performers don’t give better advice than other performers, at least in some domains(领域). Rather, they just give more of it. “Our studies suggest that at least in some instances, people may overvalue advice from top performers,” the researchers wrote.

“In our experiments, people given advice by top performers thought that it helped them more, even though it usually didn’t. Surprisingly, they thought so even though they didn't know anything about the people who wrote their advice,” said Levari. “Top performers didn’t write more helpful advice, but they did write more of it, and people in our experiments mistook quantity for quality,” Levari added.

So, why wasn’t the advice more helpful? Levari and colleagues have a few ideas. First, skilled performers may overlook fundamental advice because natural talent and extensive practice have made conscious thought unnecessary. Second, top performers may not be skilled communicators. Even when an excellent performer does have explicit information to share, they may not be especially good at sharing it. Finally, a large quantity of advice may be more than what can realistically be carried out.

“We spend a lot of time and money looking for good advice, whether from coworkers and coaches, teachers and tutors, or friends and family,” said Levari. “The next time you get advice, you should think less about how much of it there was, and more about how much of it you could actually use.”

【1】How did the author introduce the topic of the text?

A．By comparing data.

B．By raising a question.

C．By describing a definition.

D．By presenting the survey result.

【2】Which of the following agrees with Levari’s opinion?

A．Top performers give poor advice.

B．Top performers give better advice.

C．Top performers give useful advice.

D．Top performers give more advice.

【3】What did Levari suggest people do when getting advice?

A．Learn about its writer.

B．Consider its practicality.

C．Think less about its quality.

D．Find more related information.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Top Performers Can Be Trusted

B．Trying Common Performers' Advice Is Great

C．Common Performers May Give More Advice

D．Top Performers Don't Always Give Better Advice

23、   The world is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a source for much of this new greening phenomenon: China and India. This new insight was made possible by a nearly 20­year­long data record from a NASA instrument orbiting the Earth on two satellites.

Taken all together, the greening of the planet over the last two decades represents an increase in leaf area on plants and trees equal to the area covered by all the Amazon rainforests. There are now more than two million square miles of extra green leaf area per year, compared to the early 2000s—a 5% increase.

“China and India account for one­third of the greening, but contain only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation—a surprising finding, considering the common phenomenon of land degradation in populous countries from overuse, ” said Chi Chen, lead author of the study.

“This long­term data lets us dig deeper, ” said Rama Nemani, a co­author of the new work. “When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilisation from the added carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests. Now, with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales, we see that humans are also contributing.”

China's outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part(42%) from programmes to conserve and expand forests. These were developed in an effort to reduce the effects of soil erosion, air pollution and climate change. Another 32% there—82% of the greening seen in India—comes from intensive growing of food crops. How the greening trend may change in the future depends on numerous factors, both on a global scale and the local human level. For example, increased food production in India is promoted by groundwater irrigation. If the groundwater is running out, this trend may change.

The researchers point out that the gain in greenness seen around the world and led by India and China does not offset the damage from loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions, such as Brazil and Indonesia. The consequences for sustainability and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain.

Nemani is pretty excited about the findings, and not just because the greener, the better. “Once people realise there's a problem, they tend to fix it, ” he said. “In the 70s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss wasn't good; in the 90s, people realised it; and today things have improved. Humans are incredibly adaptable.”

【1】The Earth is getting greener mainly because of ________.

A．the expanding of leaf area in tropical countries

B．the determined efforts to preserve Amazon rainforests

C．the tree­planting programmes and intensive agriculture

D．a favourable climate and increased CO2 in the atmosphere

【2】Which of the following statements may the researchers agree with?

A．The greening trend in India will continue to go upwards.

B．More “greening” means better control of climate change.

C．Land overuse threatens the success in the greening on the Earth.

D．The sustainability in global ecosystems will be greatly improved.

【3】What does the underlined word “offset” in the last but one paragraph probably mean?

A．Prevent.

B．Survive.

C．Interrupt.

D．Balance.

【4】How does Nemani feel about the findings?

A．They are a positive indicator of overall human nature.

B．Their accuracy and reliability need to be further proved.

C．They undervalue humans' contribution to the environment.

D．Their significance for future research cannot be overemphasised.

24、   Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hour work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or hobbies. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.

Six percent of the workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted are Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she worked for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Nearly twice a month Daniel had to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have one here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. it's taken some time getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

【1】What do the first two paragraphs tell us?

A.People seldom work long hours to make money.

B.People hardly buy more things than necessary.

C.People are sure everything they own is in the right place.

D.People realized there is more to life than just making money.

【2】When Daniel was a reporter he _____.

A.was well paid B.disliked his job C.missed his children D.lived in central London.

【3】Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ______.

A.was easy to organize B.has improved family life

C.was extremely expensive D.has been a total success

【4】What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Child-caring B.Liz’s advice C.Downshifting D.Liz' job.

【5】The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means ____.

A.repairing your car by yourself
