For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. People in the United States like to entertain people at home. They invite friends for a meal, a party or even a cup of tea. Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like an invitation, but actually are not. For example, "Please come over for a drink sometime." In fact, it is only just a polite way of ending a conversation. It is not a real invitation, because it does not contain a specific time or date. It just shows that the person who is speaking is friendly. So when 2 you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. When you accept or reject an invitation, it is polite to show pleasure at receiving the invitation. When you cannot accept the invitation, it is better to offer a vague excuse, such as an appointment with a certain friend, some other work to do or a prior engagement. 31. People in the U.S. love to entertain people ______. A) at a snack bar B) at home C) in a restaurant D) in a hotel 32. A real invitation must include ______.

If you like traveling, you can always do it one way or another. If you have a bike, you can travel cheaply. In a short distance you can ride as freely as you like without getting too tired. A car usually runs much faster than a bike does. But it can be slower sometimes. If you drive in rush hours you may have to wait a long time without moving an inch. In that case the car could be the slowest and most boring means of transport (交通) of all. If you want to travel more comfortably, you had better take a train. A train can take you to a distant place in a shorter time than a car can. While you are sitting comfortably in the train, you can enjoy the beauty of the countryside. At the same time you’ll feel yourself closer to life, and a new strength flowing into your body. What an exciting experience! If you want to go across the seas, you can go by ship or by air. Although a ship goes a lot slower, it costs much less. That’s a big advantage. What’s more, during a long voyage, you can make as many friends as you wish, and you’ll get much healthier. The quickest but perhaps the most expensive way to travel is by plane. A plane can take you anywhere in the shortest possible time. You can get down to work as soon as you get off the plane. If you’re on an urgent business, the best way of traveling is certainly by plane. 36. The easiest way to travel short distances is ____. A) on foot B) by bike C) by train D) by plane 37. In rush hours cars can ____. A) be kept waiting for a long time B) go through the busy streets as usual C) run without stopping D) take the place of buses 3 38.

Myth 1: If there’s nothing available in your fields, change careers. Fact 1: That’s one of the worst things you can do. You compete against others with experience, and you will not approach your old salary level on a new job. Myth 2: Lower your salary demands. You’ll be more attractive to employers in an uncertain economy. Fact 2: People who ask for less are viewed as “low property”. If you are considered anything less than first-class, you are not likely to be hired. Myth 3: If you are over 50, it will be very hard to find another job. Fact 3: Workers over 50 win new jobs almost as quickly as youngsters do. Today’s employers place a premium (额外价值) on experience. Myth 4: Bring up salary as quickly as possible in the first interview. Fact 4: That’s a fast way to be removed from consideration. It tells employers you are more concerned with yourself than with the company. Myth5: You can only get interviews between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. Fact 5: Employers are often available before and after regular hours when the office is quieter. If you get an interview then, you’ve got an employer’s concentrated attention. 41. What is the disadvantage of changing your career? You will not reach _________________________________. 42.
