C

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer, a contractor, of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will

ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

28. What did the carpenter plan to do after retirement?

A. Enjoy family happiness.

B. Switch to another field.

C. Start his own business.

D. Build a house of his own.

29. How did the contractor plan to deal with the house he asked the carpenter to build?

A. He planned to sell it to one of his customers.

B. He planned to send it to the carpenter as a gift.

C. He planned to fill it with his favorites.

D. He planned to send it to his partner.

30. What can we know about the last house the carpenter built?

A. It was of low quality.

B. It did not satisfy the contractor.

C. It was perfect in workmanship and materials.

D. It was the best of all the houses he had built.

31. What does the story intend to tell us?

A. We should focus on the future life.

B. We should react to life rather than act.

C. We should build our houses in life.

D. We should always do our best.

D

Never say “never” but always mention your “achievement”, is the advice for job hunters trying to fill in application forms.

Admissions advisers and psychologists at the University of Hertfordshire have drawn up a list of the 10 top words to make a good impression in applications.

They have also listed the 10 worst words, including “hate” and “nothing”. This advice also tells applicants not to say “mistakes” but to mention their “valuable lessons”.

If applicants are worried about having too many valuable lessons, the Hertfordshire academics also recommend avoiding other less than positive words, such as “panic”, “problems” and “awful”.

None of these words are good ways of selling your skills to employers. If you which will produce a more appreciative reaction. These good words include “experience”, “involved”, “planning” and “developed”.

The advisers say companies or universities will see many similar application letters - and that the choice of language generates a positive or negative impression. For instance, over-emphatic words such as “never” and “always” could give a

negative impression that “the applicant is making an exaggeration which is seldom true”.

“Every recruiter and admissions officer will have to assess hundreds if not thousands of personal statements from hopeful applicants and will make their decisions based on what they can see on paper. “Choosing the right words is therefore vitally important if your application is to stand out from the rest,” says Karen Pine, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire.

32. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A．What a job hunter should consider in his application.

B. What a worker needs to keep in mind in the work place.

C. What an interviewee should avoid in an interview.

D. What an interviewer should pay attention to in a interview.

33. According to the passage, which of the following words is NOT advised in an application letter?

A. preference B. something C. problem D. lesson

34. What does the underlined phrase “to push more positive buttons” mean?

A. to push the buttons more positively.

B. to choose the positive pole of the buttons to push.

C. to evoke recruiters’ positive reaction.

D. to choose the appreciative expressions.

35. Why should the word “always” be avoided in applying for a job?

A. It’s not eye-catching enough.

B. It may be sort of misleading.

C. It is among over- emphatic words.

D. It can’t impress the recruiter.
