Like many young people, I dreamed of growing up and becoming a successful writer one day. My first part-time job came when I was 18 years old. I was working in a paint factory. Because of the terrible smell of paint, it became normal for me to temporarily pass out during my lunch hour.
All of my spare time was spent writing and sending stories to any publisher that would read them, dreaming that one day losing consciousness while eating my ham sandwiches would no longer be a part of my daily routine.
I discovered content mills, where a writer could devote his time to writing soul-destroying online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldn’t faint(昏厥). So, I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home. At times, I would lose all passion for writing 500 words about an advertisement for a bed for a few pounds, but the terrible smell of paint reminded me to get back to writing.
Several months later, the money got better. I was given a job writing for one of the largest entertainment websites in the world. The job was simple: I complained about everything that was wrong with society and they paid me ₤50 for each article. A guy from the website asked if I’d be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them. I accepted.
After a pretty successful year, I was offered a promotion. Just 18 months earlier, I was suffering from the smell of paint on a daily basis and now I was managing a team of nine writers.
5. What does the underlined part mean in the passage?
A. Losing heart. B. Losing one’s memory.
C. Feeling sleepy. D. Becoming unconscious.
6 What once weakened the author’s love for writing?
A. The unpleasant smell in the factory.
B. Being given consistent writing work.
C. Something’s being wrong with society.
D. Writing advertisements at a low price.
7. What message does the author deliver in the passage?
A. Never give up nor stop trying.
B. A good beginning is half done.
C. Behind bad luck comes good luck.
D. A man can do no more than he can.
C
A decade ago, secondary and higher education was listed above all else. Apprenticeships(学徒工作) were considered as a choice for dropouts(辍学者) rather than a brave career choice. Some young men and women didn’t fit into the school system, but preferred to find new starts, so they were allowed to leave school to focus their attention on making a living in the business world.
Now there’re no birds of this year in last year’s nests. Young people are being encouraged to think carefully about whether what they are learning in school is right for them—this trend has been caused by rising university fees and a global shortage of many skills that were ignored in schools in recent years, ranging from web development to sales.
Young people are required to stay in education or training until they are 18, but now learning takes place in different forms. The Government also has its own way to help interested youths find an apprenticeship that suits their skills and ambitions.
Tom Hartley now owns a large business in Derbyshire, who founded his first company at just 12 years old. “I had no school education,” he says. “Running business was how I learned everything. I call it the Hartley University of Life.
His business, 43 years on, turns over £ 200 million, and sells cars to customers all over the world. Many years ago, Hartley was asked to explain why he had chosen to be self-educated and why he had supported his son’s decision to leave school and join the family business.
“I got heavy suspect at the time,” he explains. “you can’t teach gut feelings(直觉) on a blackboard. School is fine if you want to be a doctor or fly a rocket to the moon, but it is not true about experience in business.”
8. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Education is no more important nowadays.
B. The situation above has changed.
C. Things change for the worse for dropouts.
D. University fees are becoming higher and higher.
9. What does the author say about Tom Hartley?
A. He attaches more value to experience than to education.
B. He was supported in founding his first company.
C. He is well-educated and far-sighted.
D. He is brave and open-minded.
10. How does the author prove his view?
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By listing figures.
11. Which statement may the author agree with?
A. Education is the only way to success.
B. Education systems vary from country to country.
C. School dropouts could be future business stars.
D. School dropouts were common among youngsters.
D
While we all try to find happiness, sometimes we still end up feeling low. While most people can control this feeling, low moods can stay with some, leading to depression. About 322 million people suffered from depression in 2015, according to a report by the World Health Organization in February. This is more than 4 percent of the world’s population.
Depression is described by the WHO as a mental disorder. It has several symptoms including sadness, loss of interest and feelings of low self-worth. In severe cases, depression may even lead to suicide.
The number of people living with depression is increasing. The WHO reported a rise of 18.4 percent between 2005 and 2015. Young people are a group known to suffer with depression. “The pressures on today’s youth are like no other generation, perhaps,” Dan Chisholm, an official of WHO, told Reuters.
In China, depression among young people is on the rise, Zhu Zhuohong, a psychology professor with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency. Competition to outperform others, especially in education, can cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth.
Almost 1.2 million Chinese people aged 15 to 24 suffer from depression, according to a report released by British science journal The Lancet in May.
Luckily, more and more efforts are being made to deal with this problem. This year’s World Health Day, held on April 7, will focus on depression. The day will highlight (强调) the “Depression: let’s talk” campaign. The campaign aims to make sure that people with depression both seek and get help.
12. According to the passage, what was the population of the world in 2015?
A. about 322 million B. about 128.8 million
C. about 8050 million D. about 18.4million
13. Which symptom is the worst among several symptoms?
A. suicide B. loss of interest
C. sadness D. feelings of low self-worth
14. What does the 3rd paragraph tell us?
A. The pressures on today’s youth are the same as other generations.
B. The pressures on today’s youth are not the same as other generations.
C. The pressures on today’s youth are bigger than other generations.
D. The pressures on today’s youth are not bigger than other generations.
15. What cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth?
A. Competition between young generations
B. Competition to outperform others
C. Competition to perform better than others in education
D. Education to avoid disorders
