The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that__________ ．

根据以下内容回答题： Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident，not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion，happiness and security．As a result，they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction．Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a livin9．Some stay long at a job and learn to like it；others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them．The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that．offer a salary up to their expectation．Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities．The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution．Nearly all grope（摸索）in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like．They never bother to think whether they are suited for the iob or，even more important，whether the job suits them．Having a job is more than merely providing yourseff and your dependants with daily bread and．some money for leisure and entertainment．It sets a pattern of life and，in many ways，determines social status in life，selection of friends，leisure and interest． In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will you"re your interest．Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest，for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person．

The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they__________ ．

Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?

To improve parent-child relationships。teenagers are advised to be．

Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they__________ ．

The first paragraph is mainly about．．

根据以下内容回答题：It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them．They have always complained，more or less justly，that they are possessive and dominant；that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis；that they talk too much about certain problems——and that they have no sense of humor，at least in parent-child relationships． I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young． Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in enter-tainers and music．This is not their motive．They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted．So they create a culture and society of their own．Then，if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents，this gives them additional enjoyment．They feel they are superior，at least in a small way，and that they are leaders in style. and taste． Sometimes you are resistant，and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do．If they did approve，it looks as if you are betraying your own age group．But in that case，you are assuming that you are the underdog（劣势者）：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor．This is passive way of looking at things．It is natural enough after long years of childhood，when you were completely under your parents’contr01．But it ignores the fact that you are nOW beginning to be responsible for yourself． If you plan to control your life，cooperation can be part of that plan．You can impress others，especially your parents，into doing things the way you want．You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative，so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

This passage is primarily meant for__________ ．

Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they__________ ．

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author is chiefly interested in__________ ．

The author believes that the prediction of earthquakes__________ ．

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

“This element of the unknown”in the third paragraph refers to the fact that__________ ．

The purpose of the study is__________ ．

根据以下内容回答题：Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man：since reeords began to be written down，it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities（死亡）have numbered in the millions，and that earthquake-related destruction has been be-vond calculation．The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to falling down of buildings and the effects of rockslides，floods，fire，disease，gigantic sea waves，and other phenomena（现象）resulting from earthquakes，rather than from the quakes themselves． The great majority of all earthquakes occur Off two specific areas，along the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains．But they may，however，happen anywhere at any time． This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the fear and horror sur-rounding earthquakes，but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake predic-tion may be possible．By analyzing changes in animal behavior，patterns of movements in the earth’S surface．and other unusual phenomena，scientists have shown increasing Success in pre-dicting when and where earthquakes will strike．As a result，a worldwide earthquake-warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for the vast destruction that mightotherwise have been totally unexpected． It is．doubtful，that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and do away with the destructiveness altogether。but as how．and why earthquakes happen become better understood，man will become more and more able to deal with their possible destruction before it occurs．

Most destruction caused by earthquakes is the results of the following EXCEPT__________ ．

The study is considered more successful because it__________ ．

Which of the following ways is NOT mentioned in the passage to reduce stroke risk?

Alcohol does the following harm EXCEPT__________ ．

Waitress：How do you want your potatoes?Mashed，fried or baked?Customer：__________．

根据以下内容回答题：An occasional drink with dinner could reduce the risk of having a stroke（中风），according to a new study．Researchers found that light to moderate drinkers can lower their risk by about 20 per cent compared with nondrinkers． The study was the biggest ever to examine the link between alcohol and stroke．It showed that as little as a single glass of wine or beer per week can significantly reduce stroke risk．The study involved more than 22，000 men，but the researchers said the results could also apply to women． However，the researchers stressed it would be unwise for doctors to advise patients who don’t drink to suddenly start or those who drink small amounts to begin consuming more heavily．The study found no added protection from stroke by drinking more than lightly or moderately． And researchers warned of possible harms posed by alcohol，such as liver damage，the dangers of driving while drunk and the risk of breast cancer in women． What’S more，there are other ways to reduce stroke risk，such as quitting smoking or lowering blood pressure． Numerous studies have shown that modest drinking reduces the risk of heart disease．But until now，the evidence of an effect on strokes has been less convincing．Early studies were criticized because they simply compared drinkers to non-drinkers．This latest study examined varying levels of alcohol intake．It found that between one drink a week and one a day reduces the risk，and the lesser amount was about as good as the higher one．

The study was the biggest ever because__________ ．
