The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who          that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this          girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her           in with us? There had to be a           .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had          her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)       (7)      copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming    (8)   show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had         . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted         the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s            were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students           them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw       well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “         this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a         ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I        , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never         anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to         their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

    The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then，suddenly the interviewer asks an unexpected question.“Which is more important，law or love?”
Job applicants in the west increasing find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happening in China.
Employers want people who are skilled，enthusiastic(热情的） and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response(应答），employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is often called aptitude(倾向性）testing.
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.“When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.”
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma(窘境）.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest，but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.
3The writer wrote the passage to ______.

Now employers want to hire workers______.

According to the writer，in an aptitude testing，Chinese job applicants should______.

From the passage we know that ______.

                  Choosing the Right Resolution
Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.
To reach our goal of losing weight-the output, we need to control what we eat-the input(输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I'll stop having dessert for lunch,” or “I'll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.
Recently a new science behind incentives(激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output. Fryer's conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on an exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.
As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it's easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.
If yo want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn't a goal because it's too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don't stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could  adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.
In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.
The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because       .

In Roland Fryer's research, some students did better than the others because       .

According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?

The writer strongly believes that we should       .

                 Store Scent(香味)
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed（展示） at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. but while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in pairs, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores（实体店）can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?

E-shops are mentioned in the passage to_____

The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means______

The main purpose of the passage is to _____

    The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.
The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.
The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.
The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.
With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,” said Keller.
The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.
How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?

It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.

What is the aim of the project?

Traditionally，customers may consider more about what they buy the product for．However，the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customer awareness（意识） and stimulate （刺激）their buying needs．Frequently，customers buy goods just because they are cute，lovely and unique．With a less emphasis on functional utilities，the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role．The image of product is emphasized，as well as the communication between products and consumers．“Customer behavior，which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure，in fact responds to quite different objectives：displaced expression of desire，and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs”(Baudrillard)．The reason for image—oriented customer behavior is probably that customers’lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to“Virtual Reality”．The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies，in which customers’preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched．
This change requires US to take efforts to enhance product image by
integrating style，color，taste，shape and material，and communicate with customers creatively，imaginatively and innovatively，and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings．“A need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a‘need’for difference”(Baudrillard)．The typical example is Apple Computer’S IMAC，which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics．By this way，customer relationship can be set up through image，and brand can be treated as living that can transform people．Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas，where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated．In sum，consumption is negotiation，a never ending conversation held in the languages of advertising，packaging，branding，fashion,and entertainment．
