Most Americans switch careers at least three times throughout their lives. Gone are the days when people retired from the company where they first worked. The progressive mentality (心态) regarding business and technology often ensures that people move from position to position as they try to find the right career for them.

Recent college graduates ask "what career is right for me?" many times in the months before and after graduation Now more than ever, people are also asking "what career is right for me?" into their thirties, forties and fifties.

Being your own boss is the dream of most people, but it comes with a price. Since you do not have to answer to someone else, you have to be responsible for your own business. In this sense, the business becomes the new boss. Here are some tips for you to observe.

Work-life balance: Staring a business will consume a lot of time and energy. Not letting the business prevent you from having personal time is a challenge. The failure to manage a work-life balance can lead to health problems and lost relationships with family and friends.

Making decisions: Since you are the owner, you have the final decision. This can be a tough challenge because you know that you alone have to bear the consequences of your decisions.

Self-doubt and criticism: In the beginning, customers and competitors will not take you seriously. Everyone will be quick to share their opinions on what you are doing wrong and why it will not work.

With all this, self-doubt will start to occur. Maybe they are all right. Maybe starting this business was a bad idea. If you have done your homework, this is the moment to overcome the fear of failure and have the confidence in yourself to keep going.

When people move from one city or country to another, the spread of diseases may result. People often bring in germs (病菌) that may not have been present there before. These new germs can spread quickly and cause previously unknown diseases. If a germ is completely new to a region, people who already live there have no natural protection against it. As a result, they become ill more easily and die more often. In turn, newcomers may catch diseases that were not present in their own country. If they go back, they may carry the diseases with them and spread the diseases there, too.

Changes in the heating system of a building can also lead to disease. In the 1970s, there was a worldwide shortage of heating oil. As a result, hotels in the United States lowered the temperature in their heating systems in order to save fuel. This low temperature led to a deadly germ that grew in heating pipes. When the heated air was blown into the rooms of a hotel, it carried the germs. Many visitors became ill and several died.

36、 The spread of new diseases may result from the move of people who ______.

A. carry the germs                              B. have no protection

C. become ill more easily                       D. work in a crowded place

37、 When a new germ is spread to a region, ______.

A. it will cause the whole region to suffer from a deadly disease

B. newcomers are seldom affected by the newly-spread germ

C. people there usually have no natural protection against it

D. people in that region can hardly escape from the disease

38、 From the passage we learn that changes in the heating system of a building can result in ______.

A. an oil shortage       B. certain diseases      C. the air pollution     D. a high temperature

39、 What caused the growth of a deadly germ in the heating pipes of the hotels? ______

A. The dry air.         B. The polluted oil.     C. The heated pipes.    D. The low temperature.

40、 The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the protection against new diseases           B. the danger of visiting new places

Some workplace stress is normal, but when stress at work begins to weaken your ability to perform in your job, it's time for you to take action. Start by paying attention to your physical and emotional health.

Get moving

Regular exercise is an effective way to help you to relax both your mind and body. Try to get at least 30 minutes of activity on most days. If it's easier to fit into your schedule, break up the activity into two or three shorter periods of time each day.

Get enough sleep

A lack of sleep can make you suffer from more stress. When you're well-rested, it's much easier to keep your emotional balance. Try to improve the quality of your sleep by keeping a sleep schedule and aiming for 8 hours a night.

Get support

Close relationships are important to helping you through times of stress. Simply sharing your feelings face to face with another person can help relieve some of the stress. Accepting support is not a sign of weakness and it won't mean you're a burden to others. In fact, most friends will be willing to help you to reduce your stress, and this will only strengthen your relationship.

41、 You should take action to handle your workplace stress when ______.

A. it affects your job performance                 B. it begins to damage your health

Section 2

Directions: There is 1 passage in this section. Read the passage and complete the outline below it (No. 46 to No. 50) You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.

Booster Seats(幼儿保护座椅) are more than a good idea. It is the law. Until children are 8 years old or 4.9 feet tall, they can be too big for a child car seat but too small for a safety belt. A booster seat makes safety belts fit properly and reduces the risk of injury in a crash.

Which seat should I use? Either a proper-fitting child safety seat or booster seat installed (安装) correctly will meet the requirements of Michigan's new law for children under the age of 8 or not yet 4.9 feet tall. This includes using a booster seat with both a lap (大腿部) and shoulder belt.

Where do I get a booster seat, and how much do they cost? Booster seats are available at many stores. They cost between $15 and $100 depending on the style.

Important: All booster seats are safest when used in the back seat and with both the car's lap and shoulder belt. Never use a lap belt only.
