We have heard the career（职业）advice: "Follow your passion." We're told that we should do something we love. But this advice is sometimes misleading. Just ask yourself this question: Is it possible to make a living from the thing you love? For most, the answer is probably no.
Think for a moment about your passion. What would you love to do right now? Many people list travel as an interest and would happily spend their last dollar on a plane ticket. But in an industry with so many writers, bloggers and photographers, how do you do something that attracts attention? A Google search for "Travel Blog" will tum 5.8 billion results. It will be very difficult for you to establish（使立足）yourself in an already crowded space. The same is true for other popular passions.
So how to choose the right career? You should change the way you are thinking. Instead of looking forward to the things you are passionate about, think about your strengths—the things you are good at. What skills do you have? What type of job do you think you'd be good at?
If you focus on what you can do well, you'll have a much more realistic goal or plan for success. And better still, that thing you're truly passionate about remains a pleasure for you to enjoy in your spare time. And you don't have to worry about paying your next bill.
（1）What would be the best title for the text?
A.Follow Your Passion or Your Strength
B.Choose What You Like As a Career
C.Enjoy Your Passion in Your Spare Time
D.Change the Way You Are Thinking
（2）The purpose of writing the first paragraph is to ______.
A.share an opinion that sounds interesting
B.give advice for readers to follow
C.raise a question for readers to think about
D.answer a question that readers may ask
（3）The crowded space in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A.a place of interest B.an airplane C.the office space D.the travel industry
（4）If Sally likes writing and does well in cooking, what may be the writer's career advice to her?
A.A logger. B.A cook. C.A photographer. D.A writer.
（5）The writer thinks ______ .
A.following your passion is better than following your strength
B.following your strength is a realistic way to succeed
C.following your passion can help you earn enough money
D.following your strength makes you run out of your last dollar

We have heard the career（职业）advice: "Follow your passion." We're told that we should do something we love. But this advice is sometimes misleading. Just ask yourself this question: Is it possible to make a living from the thing you love? For most, the answer is probably no.
Think for a moment about your passion. What would you love to do right now? Many people list travel as an interest and would happily spend their last dollar on a plane ticket. But in an industry with so many writers, bloggers and photographers, how do you do something that attracts attention? A Google search for "Travel Blog" will tum 5.8 billion results. It will be very difficult for you to establish（使立足）yourself in an already crowded space. The same is true for other popular passions.
So how to choose the right career? You should change the way you are thinking. Instead of looking forward to the things you are passionate about, think about your strengths—the things you are good at. What skills do you have? What type of job do you think you'd be good at?
If you focus on what you can do well, you'll have a much more realistic goal or plan for success. And better still, that thing you're truly passionate about remains a pleasure for you to enjoy in your spare time. And you don't have to worry about paying your next bill.

In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it?
The answer is "Yes!" As the old saying goes, "Actions speak louder than words." Sometimes, we can communicate things even without a single word. For example, raise our shoulders, sometimes in conjunction with arms raised and hands flat (平展的). Without a word, we've just said, "I don't know."
Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true, inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may turn away or raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.
In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal lives, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning (探身) forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak.
Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are passed on through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate than the words we use.
So it is very important for us to learn body language. By learning body language, we are less likely to be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships.
（1）The writer quotes（引用）the saying "Actions speak louder than words." to ______.
A.show how body language works
B.encourage us to take action to learn English
C.support his opinion
D.warn us to speak less and do more
（2）According to the second paragraph, the woman in Picture ______ is saying, "I don't know."
A. B. C. D.
（3）We can learn from the passage that people who are lying may ______.
A.raise their shoulders B.lean forward C.stress what they're saying D.avoid making eye contact
（4）Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Body language can help the interviewers judge the interviewees.
B.We should pay less attention to body language.
C.Spoken language can express our true feelings better than body language.

Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Actually, it is just a popular myth.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half multiple times（多次）in any direction. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. The first few folds are easy. But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen? Because the number of layers of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold , you're left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. But as you can see, the paper thickness increases exponentially with each fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.
However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1,200-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding) . She also developed a mathematical theorem（定理）. It allows you to calculate the maximum（最大的）number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length and direction of folding.
Since Britney's proof, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. The current record is 13 folds, held by several students from St. Mark's School in Massachusetts. They used about 16,460 meters of toilet paper to achieve this feat!
（1）The underlined word "myth" in Paragraph 1 means "______" in Chinese.
A.普遍规律 B.科技新知 C.不良习俗 D.错误观点
（2）The notebook mentioned in the second paragraph is ______ centimeters thick.
A.0.64 B.0.01 C.1.28 D.0.07
（3）Few of us can fold an A4 piece of paper more than seven times because ______. ① it's too thick ② it's not long enough ③ it's folded in different directions ④ it's not strong enough
A.②④ B.①② C.③④ D.①③
（4）The best title of the passage may be "______".
A.The Paper-Folding Myth B.The Art of Paper-Folding C.A Theorem on Paper-Folding D.A Paper-Folding Record
（5）What can we learn from Britney Gallivan?
A.Things that seem impossible may instead be achievable.
B.Easier said than done.
C.Mathematics is the most powerful creation of the human spirit.
D.Experience is the mother of wisdom.

Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Actually, it is just a popular myth.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half multiple times（多次）in any direction. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. The first few folds are easy. But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen? Because the number of layers of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold , you're left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. But as you can see, the paper thickness increases exponentially with each fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.
However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1,200-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding) . She also developed a mathematical theorem（定理）. It allows you to calculate the maximum（最大的）number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length and direction of folding.
Since Britney's proof, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. The current record is 13 folds, held by several students from St. Mark's School in Massachusetts. They used about 16,460 meters of toilet paper to achieve this feat!
（1）The underlined word "myth" in Paragraph 1 means "______" in Chinese.
A.普遍规律 B.科技新知 C.不良习俗 D.错误观点
（2）The notebook mentioned in the second paragraph is ______ centimeters thick.
A.0.64 B.0.01 C.1.28 D.0.07
（3）Few of us can fold an A4 piece of paper more than seven times because ______. ① it's too thick ② it's not long enough ③ it's folded in different directions ④ it's not strong enough
A.②④ B.①② C.③④ D.①③
（4）The best title of the passage may be "______".
A.The Paper-Folding Myth B.The Art of Paper-Folding C.A Theorem on Paper-Folding D.A Paper-Folding Record
（5）What can we learn from Britney Gallivan?
A.Things that seem impossible may instead be achievable.
