heated arguments．We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics．（3） a family like mine has made me more （4）about the world around me，making me tend to question anything anyone tells me．But it has also made me realize that I'm not a good listener．And when I say "listening"，I'm not （5）to the nodding﹣your﹣head﹣and﹣（6）﹣answering ﹣Uh﹣huh﹣or﹣Ooh﹣I﹣see variety．I mean the kind of

spent summer in South Africa two years ago．I worked for a good non﹣profit （9）called Noah，which works（10）on behalf of children affected by AIDS．But（11）you asked me what I really did in South Africa，I'd tell you one thing：I listened，and I listened．Sometimes I（12），but mostly I listened．And had I not spent two months（13），I might have missed the（14）moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noah's community centers，orphaned （孤儿）at the age of three，whispered after a long（15），"I love you．"（16）that summer，I knew how to hear．I could sit down with anyone and hear their（17）and nod and respond at the（18）time﹣but most of the time I was（19）about the next words out of my own mouth．Ever since my summer in South Africa，I have noticed that it's in those moments when my mouth is closed and my （20）is wide open that I've learned the most about other people，and perhaps about myself．（1）A．qualification B．influence C．opinion D．assumption （2）A．commitment B．problem C．schedule D．request （3）A．Belonging to

jobs for translators and interpreters doubled in the past 10 years while their wages steadily （2）before，during and after the recession．During a period of stagnating （停滞的）wages across the labor market，the language﹣service industry with its 50，000 jobs is a （3）spot in the jobs outlook．Lillian Clementi is a French translator working in corporate communications from her home in

Jiri Stejskal，spokesman for the American Translators Association．Multinational corporations，U．S．demographic （人口的）changes and the Internet economy raise the need for translated and localized

commerce，and that's going to drive more language services，" said Bill Rivers，executive director of the National Council for Language and International Studies in the Washington region．（12），qualifications for translators and interpreters are not as simple as they may seem．Speaking two languages does not mean a person can work in the language﹣service industry，experts said．Learning how to translate or interpret is a （13）skill beyond knowing the language．Furthermore，the most successful translators and interpreters maintain a （14），such as legal documents，quarterly

the challenges of college life．This （41）seems to be particularly effective for female students from relatively low socioeconomic status（SES）backgrounds says Mesmin Destin of Northwestern University in the US．College is a time of great opportunity for some，but can be （42）for others．It is often the first time that many students are away from the regular and familiar support of their family and friends．Weak students from lower SES backgrounds often encounter greater financial and psychological challenges than others，and this can lead to （43）and even withdrawal from difficult situations，such as when interacting with their lecturers or taking tests and exams．Destin and his colleagues wanted to understand if students' （44）to academic challenges improve when they look forward to the future．This idea is built around the theory of identity﹣based motivation．It holds that people can take positive action during times of unfavorable conditions when they （45） a successful future for themselves．"The theory of identity﹣based motivation proposes that stimulating a focus on a successful future identity may be especially （46）in motivating students who are weak during challenging academic situations to develop a sense of action readiness，"explains Destin．This involves feeling ready and able to take appropriate action when （47）difficulty．In two almost identical laboratory experiments﹣one involving 93female students，the other 185students（including 101women）﹣﹣participants were first asked either to write about their past or their future （48）．After their deep thoughts，the participants were filmed during an limited interview with a so﹣called lecturer，and then had to （49） a difficult academic test．The researchteam noted whether participants' body language was bold and confident，and measured the amount of effort participants' （50）the academic test．The results were in agreement with the theory of identity ﹣based motivation．Destin and his team found that having a successful future identity can prevent especially female students from lower SES backgrounds from （51）during challenging academic situations．Specially，lower SES women who wrote about their future identities displayed greater action （52）compared to those who considered their past．They showed more confident body language．It helped them to make more effort to tackle the test，and had an indirect effect on their （53）．"Simulating imagined successful future identities appears to provide a （54）pathway to enable weak students to effectively navigate everyday stressors，"says Destin．"The findings（55）suggest that certain students may benefit from strategies that remind them to image their successful futures before any difficult and important task that they might otherwise be likely to avoid．" 41．A．instruction B．strategy C．challenge D．psychology 42．A．disgraceful B．shameful C．harmful D．stressful 43．A．hesitation B．intention C．depression D．decision 44．A．willingness B．options

to be one of the best decisions Jenna had ever made．Little did this family know they were about to be extremely（1）for adopting Duke．Six years later，it became apparent just how（2）Duke is to the family．This（3）came when Jenna gave birth to their second child，a beautiful little girl called Harper．In early October 2012，Harper was only nine weeks old when something unusual occurred．Duke（4）Mom and Dad in the middle of the night with the most abnormal behavior．Duke jumped up on Jenna and Eric's bed and began shaking from head to toe．It was such（5）behavior to see from such a typically
