That day, I awoke tiredthe children were tiny and needing so muchand I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead, my mother stepping in to allow me to catch up on my sleep. I dropped them off

12、 and drove homethe sun shining and my bed signaling. As I was about to enter the house, I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet. Without thinking, I turned around, walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store. Four hours later, I had all the tools, mixed my own cement, filled in the crack

13、and repaired the foundation. Perfect. As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork, I realized that I was trembling. Id forgotten my shot at a nice long nap, and my children were already on their way home. That sleep. that promise to self was broken, because I had focused, instead, on the crack in

14、the step. Suddenly, everything started to hurt. My head, my throat, my back. I couldnt stop shaking. What earned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not be silenced. This is when we overwork and overthink to the point of breaking down. Ironically (讽刺地), for many o

15、f us, it is only when we have no choice when we fall illthat we learn to listen. For me, when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks when my body worked to clear two different infections, the lesson is ever present. I did it to myselfa whole twisted spin on D

19、ole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and lost. Eventually. I decided to go to graduate school for posi

20、tive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy. And whats the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists describe happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says

21、meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path. There are four pillars of a meaningful life. The first pillar is belonging. Belon

22、ging comes from being in relationships where youre valued for who you are and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that j

23、ob that makes you happy. A doctor told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder, thus losing the aim of life. The third pillar of m

24、eaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected

25、 to a higher reality. For me, Im a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps

26、 you understand how you became you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as youre constrained by the facts. Thats the power of meaning. Happi

27、ness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. 8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs？ A. Life might be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs B. Life dilemma is challenging for us to get out of C. Meaning is hi

28、ghly valued in our culture D. Happiness is what most people try to achieve 9 Which word is the closest to the underlined word? A. Confused B. Distracted C. Disappointed D. Saddened 10. Which pillar can describe an artist obsessed with her work despite repeated failures? A. Belonging B. Purpose C. Tr

29、anscendence D. Storytelling 11. The passage aims to tell us that _ A. meaning is superior to happiness B. meaning is the way to success C. chasing meaning can make people happy D. meaning has deeper psychological significance D It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical quali

30、fications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview. There are many argum

31、ents about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that

32、they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidates likely performance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people

33、who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidates ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not o

34、nly with a candidates ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to

35、 assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability. Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally spea

36、king, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the

37、spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking.

38、 A. Employers are experienced in assessing the interviewees performance. B. Interview is not always recognized as a sensible way to choose employees. C. The interview helps the employers to pick the desired employees. D. The remarkable candidates often distinguish themselves in an interview. 13 Whic

39、h may not be considered in an interview? A. Personality B. Communication skills C. Background D. Capability 14. What is the authors attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure? A. Supportive B. Negative C. Objective D. Unconcerned 15. The last paragraph indicates _. A. a link between suc

40、cess in interview and character B. connections between work abilities and character C. differences in interview experience D. differences in personal behaviour 第二节第二节 (共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making Peace
