one that he will remember for the rest of his life. The 19-year-old was helping his grandfather buy a pair of socks online when he noticed his account balance was low. So he drove to the nearest Wells Fargo to make a deposit. Little did he know, he was about to make an incredible discovery.

Local businesses have offered Jose rewards. He has received git cards from local restaurants, sports gear, and season tickets for University of New Mexico football team of ESPN radio. He was also given a $500 scholarship from an electric company. And, perhaps best of all, the police chief invited Jose to apply for a job as a public service aid for the department.

B. He got a job chance. D. He was admitted to college.

Switzerland produced the report, which described the climate for 520 major cities 30 years in the future.
The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050, and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities.
In China in 2050, the climate of Xi’an, in Shanxi province, will be similar to that of current day Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho in southern Africa, with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.59℃. Chongqing in southwest China will resemble the climate of Swaziland capital Mbabane, as the warmest temperature is predicted to rise by 5.1℃.
Scientists predict summers in Europe will get warmer by an average of 3.5℃ and European winters will see temperature rises of 4.7℃. London’s climate will be more similar lo Barcelona, and Madrid’s to Marrakech.
The Crowther Lab hopes the analysis will motivate decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent or address some of the climate effects due to the threat of climate change. The report also found that cities in tropical regions will experience smaller changes in average temperature but will be controlled by shifts in rainfall regimes. This may lead to a noticeable increase in unexpected events, and severe droughts.
“Across all scientific fields, the greatest challenge in climate science is no longer the precise measurement of climate change impacts, but inspiring people to picture is actual effects in order to motivate action,” said Tom Crowther, senior scientist und founder of the Crowther Lab.
23. According to the research, among the 520 cities by 2050, about ________ cities will experience the climate conditions that no major cities currently have experienced. A.400.
B.114.
C.260.
D.104.
24. How did the scientists prove their result? A. By listing figures.
B. By making comparisons. D. By explaining theory.
C. By doing experiments.
25. What is the Crowther Lab intended for?
A. To compare the climate change of the major cities of the world. B. To inspire people to picture its actual effects in order to motivate action.
C. To inspire decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent some climate effects. D. To show most word’s cities will experience a striking change in climate conditions. 26. What is the best title of the passage? A. World Temperature. C. Big Titles in the World.
B. Current Climate Change.
D. Future Climate Change in Most Big Cities.

Have you ever lined up? How do you feel? Most of us line up a large number of times during our lives. Waiting lines are such a thorn (刺) in our sides at popular destinations—Disney World, the Empire State Building—that many of us are willing to pay to avoid lines.
Culture has much to do with how we handle waiting lines. The British are the best people in the world at waiting in lines. I’ve never seen a people less concerned with lines than the British.
If you’ve been to Wimbledon you know what I mean. There are no online ticket sales for this fortnight of tennis. You queue up for hours, often a half day or more with 8,0000 others on a golf course near the stadium, suffering whatever rain, wind or sun.
It is an unwritten but ever present rule at Wimbledon that you never talk about or even admit that the queue exists. You’ll hear and participate in every conversation imaginable while waiting. It’s not really possible to jump or break-in a queue at Wimbledon because of the stewards and the time-dated stamps they hand out, and it’s considered bad behavior anywhere by the British.
Some places such as restaurants in Canada and in the States are getting wise. The host or hostess greets you, and says politely. “Sorry, but it will be about 45 minutes!” Almost always you’ll be seated in just 20 to 30 minutes. It’s called managing expectations. But, now you’re very happy as if you had something to do with getting a table earlier.
Finally, technology promises to save some queuing time. In the years ahead , stores will adopt Apple’s methods, with every salesperson capable of taking payments. Then the lines will disappear.
With age, perhaps, comes wisdom. I do whatever I can to avoid activities where queues are quite common. But you can’t always avoid lines, so I make the best of them. I usually start conversations with total strangers in a queue... at the very least you open yourself up to an opportunity for an engaging conversation. Queues, like life, have a lot to do with attitudes.
27. Why does the author say that waiting lines are a thorn in our sides? A. Lining up makes us hurt. C. We spend most of our life queuing. 28. While queuing in Wimbledon ________. A. you will be fined if you break in B. everybody is used to waiting long C. people prove the existence of queues D. the waiting time depends on the weather
B. We have to pay to avoid lines. D. Waiti
ng lines are unavoidable in our life.
6
29. What does the underlined part “managing expectations” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Reducing waiting times at queue lines. B. Haring high expectation for customers. C Tying lo live up to customers’ expectations. D. Letting customers wait shorter than they expected. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards line? A. Positive.
B. Unclear.
C. Annoyed.
D. Indifferent.

Self Confidence
Self confidence is the answer to success, or we can say the most important step to success. 31 Instead, a person who is learned but lacking confidence might fail in making you agree with the same. So it’s time to start believing in yourself, and you will start constructing self confidence in your life. Building up self confidence would need certain steps to be followed.
Make a record of your strong points. 32 Think of praise and respects that you have received or things that come effortlessly to you. It doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s good, just write it down. This will make you feel good about yourself.
Choose some of those things that you want to cheer yourself up. It’s also very important to concentrate on the areas you are previously good at so you will have an improved chance of becoming even more positive of yourself. 33
Display your confidence even if you don’t feel like it. Talk to yourself in a hopeful way. 34 Encircle yourself with optimistic, positive and successful people.
35 Before you even know it, you will become one of them. A. Success will automatically enter your life. B. Always remember that success builds upon success. C. Write down all the encouraging things about yourself. D. Try stay away from unpleasant thoughts and people.
E. They talk so confidently that they make you believe they are correct. F. Regard yourself as the self confident person that you always wanted to be.
