I am trying to muster (

鼓起

) the courage to____my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful

and ring-

free life.

Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high-

tech, in-

a-

hurry age, a cell-

free

life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many

people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my

cellphone, people would think I was mad.

I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone

，

an e?mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out

，

people can leave a message.

Do they really need to find me 24/7

？

However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the

Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.

Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all

contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our

music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do

misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.

“Where have you been

？

” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I

tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when

you don’t

have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.

I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social

animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile

phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.

We humans can control ourselves and machines.

During the seasons of fine weather, kids can play outside, happy and active. But

when winter comes around, it is wet, windy and cold. Since they can't go outside to play, kids

get restless and miserable.

Fun activities for kids are pretty much necessary at that time of year, and they need to be

kept entertained. One way to do this is to have an indoor treasure hunt, where children can look

for clues and then get to the treasure. Treasure doesn't even need to be much, because just the

activity is fun enough.

Art activities are always fun, and if you start off with some paper in different colours, they

can draw shapes on the back, cut them out, and stick them on the white paper to make all sorts

of things. Cardboard boxes, stuck together and then painted, can be made into buildings or

robots. You can keep all boxes in a bag in the loft. Then you have something you can draw on

when the weather is bad and the children need to play indoors.

Dressing up is another fun indoor activity. Why not read a book to them and then ask them

to act it for you? That can keep them busy and develop their imagination. When you encourage

children to use their imagination, you are giving them confidence in themselves, in their own

creative abilities; by suggesting they put on a play you are encouraging them to work together

and develop teamwork skills.

The best way to help your kids have fun when it is rainy outside is to let them come up

with some ideas. When you feel that they are old enough, let them write their ideas on a piece of

paper and you can pick an idea that you find practical. That way every day can be fun!

One of the United States's social problems is the breakdown of two-

parent family.

Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack

the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but

two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their

own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce (

离婚

), with

often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried

Americans

become

mothers

outside

marriage, with generally terrible results for the

mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese

continue to value whole marriages. Tiffs is not to say that Chinese marriages are all

perfect

—

they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital

affairs

—

but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the

sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.

Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a

group of Americans what is dearest to

them, the majority would say “family”. And yet, so many

Americans spend much more time at work

—

that is, beyond the formal forty-

hour work

—

than

they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world,

owing in large meas

ure to “workaholism”. It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better

balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. I don't see the number of

workaholics in China that I do in the United States (or American organizations in China ).

Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work ( in the office or field), have meals

together, and spend time with their family members. What's more, Chinese try to make more

time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases,

multi-

generational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is

all changing; increasing numbers of “New Chinese” are working longer hours and spending

less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones.

I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between

B

．

different

D

．

convenient

work and family.

12

．

The main point of the passage is ________.

A

．

family plays a very important role in America

B

．

there is something about family for Americans to learn from China

C

．

a proper balance between work and family needs to be found for Chinese

D

．

the Chinese have a proper balance between work and play

13

．

According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that ________.

A

．

Americans love their families more than their jobs

B

．

Americans often set aside their children's needs

C

．

Americans have a strong work desire

D

．

American parents place the needs of their children above

their own

14

．

It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A

．

in the author's eyes, the breakdown of the two-

parent family in China will be more serious

than that in the US in the future

B

．

today young Americans should reduce their material comforts

in the interests of their

children's future

C

．

Chinese marriage is said to be all perfect

D

．

at present, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce

in China

15

．

What does the author think according to the passage?

A

．

Children living in one-

parent families badly need their

parents' love and help.

B

．

Children with one-

parent need their parents' money badly.

C

．

Chinese value whole marriage more than before.

D

．

Work is dearest to most Chinese.

Finding your dream job can be difficult. This month, the search will become even

harder as new graduates start looking for work. With many companies still struggling, job

hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them.

Don't be disappointed.

Consider using these three methods to find and get the

job of your dreams.

The Front Door

people use the front door, make yourself stand out. This means understanding what a company

really needs and creatively showing you can meet that need.

Find out who is doing the

hiring, and try to give them your resume(

letter or visit.

The Back Door

A back

can help you avoid the crowd of job applicants using the front door.

The Invisible Door

If you're still not getting hired, you might be running into an invisible(

Invisible doors are things companies want from new employees but don't list as job

requirements. Many companies have special company cultures. Others are looking for people

with very specific skills.

Miss White.

Miss White was a smiling, beautiful, young lady. For the first time in his

Steve couldn't take his eyes off his teacher; yet,

he failed. In the middle of the first
