听力原文： Were you the first or the last child in you family？ Or were you a middle or an only child？ Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children are smart and strongwilled. They are very likely to be successful. The reason for this is simple: parents have a lot of time for their first child. They give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family？ Middle children don't get so much attention, so they don't feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe this idea of birth order too？ A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they often did better in life.

(26)

A．They strongly believe in family rules.

B．They are very likely to succeed in life.

C．They tend to take responsibility for themselves.

D．They are in the habit of obeying their parents.

听力原文：When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it

听力原文： When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. (29) Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, "I know he's good. But is he lucky？" Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck.

When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the fight place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but (30) working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck.

How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ (31) One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round:

People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, hard work and luck are always hand in hand.

(30)

A．Hard work is the most important thing for one's success.

B．Hard work may invite good luck.

C．Good luck plays an important role in one's success,

D．Success has nothing to do with luck.

听力原文： Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.

I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help them succeed in the U. S. ; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents' country, they will probably feel different from other people there too. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.

We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their background by teaching them the parents' language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.

(33)

A．They have lost their identity.

B．Their children speak different languages.

C．Their children are losing their identity.

D．They cannot speak their native language.

听力原文： To be successful in a job interview, you should demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. You need to create a good image in a limited time available, usually from 30 to 45 minutes. You must talk a positive impression which the interviewer will remember white he interviews other candidates.

You should especially pay attention to some qualities during the interview. First of all, you should take care to appear properly dressed. The right clothes worn at the right time can win the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgment. It may not be true that clothes make the man, but the first and lasting impression of you is determined by the clothes you wear. Secondly, you should pay close attention to your manner of speaking. Since speech is a reflection of personality, you should reflect confidence by speaking in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard without being aggressive or over powering. You should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the position you're applying for. Finally, to be really impressive, you must convey a sense of self-confidence and an enthusiasm for work. If you display these characteristics with just a little luck, you'll certainly succeed in a typical personnel interview.

C．At least 45 minutes.

听力原文： Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new materials or to express himself or the age in original ideas. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

(30)

A．Because they are aged.

B．Because they find it hard to accept modern things.

C．Because they take their standards of perfection from the Greek.

D．Because they look at things by the standards of the past.

听力原文： In preparing a book, I asked several successful executives to tell me what they thought students should study if they wanted to succeed in business. They listed only a few technical subjects accounting and finance, for example. But time and again, these executives identified philosophy as one of the most important areas you can study for learning how to think in a disciplined, analytical, and imaginative way.

The way that philosophy helps you see the world is no less real than its practical benefits to your career. Studying philosophy exposes you to a wide range of problems that you wouldn't meet otherwise. It simply lets you see more of the world. It stretches your imagination. It challenges you to come up with your own answers to tough issues that do not have ready-made solutions.

Studying philosophy helps you to develop insight into some of life's great puzzles and to fashion your own vision of what life is all about. As you go through life, you will be challenged all along the way to make decisions about who you are and what's important to you. Philosophy helps you develop a sense of what life is all about and where you're going.

In fact, Socrates, one of the first great philosophers, thought that philosophy is the single most important element in making our lives worthwhile. "The unexamined life," he said, "is not worth living." In Socrates' mind, at least, philosophy makes it possible for us to control our own destiny.

(33)

A．A senior executive.

B．A professor.

C．A playwright.

D．A science teacher.
