13、bout some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons good points, things will be quite different.One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we negl
14、ect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.The next time you enjoy delicious fo
15、od at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it.Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreci
16、ative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy

21、 a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the sugges
22、tions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. Treat every a
23、pplication form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly. Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement
24、in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. Think this through very carefully before you wri
25、te so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.36 The first sentence of the passage means that_.(A)you may have to fill in a
26、 long application form(B) the filling-in of an application form takes much time(C) any slight error in the tiring filling-in of the forms should be avoided(D)application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in37 Although all application forms demand the same basic info
27、rmation, _.(A)different companies may have different requirements(B) different companies may have different attitudes toward them(C) applicants may be required to answer all the questions in detail(D)applicants are very familiar with different application forms38 Which of the following statements ab
28、out your personal data is true?(A)They will be of much help to your interview.(B) They are more important than the interview.(C) They should be written as simply as possible.(D)They should include all your personal information.39 When writing about the duties of your jobs, you should_.(A)only descri
29、be your social activities(B) list only the duties you performed(C) focus on your involvement in the community(D)try to include more details40 Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?(A)Nature of Filling in Application Forms(B) Importance of Filling in Application Forms(C) Criti
30、cal Details for Filling in Application Forms(D)Jobs and Their Filling in Application Forms40 Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called “ social robots,
31、“ capable of engaging with people.Today s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.“ Social robots really interact with people in wa
32、ys you feel like you re interacting with someone rather than something,“ she said. “And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership. “At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which fe
33、atures robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations.“ You know if you * re going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that
34、 we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they re around us, “ he said.Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is a
35、lready being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people.“Its designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people,“ he said. “So it interacts with the front desk agent when they re sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it s going along. And,
36、it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives. “So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.41 What will social robo
37、ts do according to the scientists?(A)They will cooperate with people.(B) They will clean the big house.(C) They will explore underwater objects.(D)They will build different kinds of cars.42 Which of the following is true according to the passage?(A)Social robots are more difficult to design.(B) Indu
38、strial robots are more complicated to design.(C) Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.(D)Industrial robots can do less than social robots.43 It can be inferred from the passage that_.(A)social robots only serve the people they like(B) it s better for social robots to work in a hot
39、el(C) it s better for social robots to have a human face(D)social robots will be under the control of human beings44 What does the passage mainly talk about?(A)The function of social robots.(B) The use of industrial robots.(C) The daily life of robots.(D)The way of designing robots.45 Which of the f
40、ollowing best describes the writer s tone in the passage?(A)Critical.(B) Prejudiced.(C) Subjective.(D)Objective.45 What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者 ), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you
41、prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect t
42、hat colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow upwe are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our m
43、oodsthere is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one: and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scen
44、e of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the areauntil it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply: perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more ac
45、tive.

46、wing others(C) be a member rather than a leader(D)like to be a leader rather than a follower47 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer_.(A)red to yellow(B) blue to orange(C) blue to yellow(D)red to grey48 Which of the following statements is true?(A)People s preference of one colour to another is

49、net can be as addictive( 上瘾的 )as drugs, alcohol or gambling, a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused people to spend 40 hours or more a week online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room dis
