A famous foreign company that invested in China wanted to employ a reception secretary for its public relation department.

A beautiful girl with a master degree in electric engineering became a winning candidate(候选人) through the difficult process of employment. At its last stage she faced an oral test together with another girl who was her equal not only in good looks but also in education standard. The girl we talk about was confident in herself and successful in the oral test. It seemed that she would get the chance. The examiner told her on behalf of the company that she could come to office of company next Monday as a new employee. At last he asked her, “Have you anything else to say? Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl was quite at a loss, saying with hesitation(犹豫不决),”“I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.”Surprised, the examiner said calmly,“In that case, let’s wait till you are ready.”

The next day the girl came to tell that her parents agreed to her beginning work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully,“Sorry, the job position is filled by another suitable candidate. You had better have a try in another place.”The beautiful girl was surprised. She asked for an explanation and was told,“What is needed here is a person who knows her own mind.”

That was how a good opportunity slipped away right under the nose of a beautiful girl.

42．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

43．Why did the beautiful girl want to ask her parents for advice?

If your mother wants to tell you something, she uses words, Birds cannot talk as we do. But some birds can make sounds to warn their young of danger. They have their own way to make the young birds do certain things.

The jackdaw is a kind of blackbirds that lives in Europe. Jackdaws live together in flocks(群). Young jackdaws do not know their enemies. When an older jackdaw sees a dog, it makes a loud rattling(格格响的) sound. The younger birds know this sound means an enemy is nearby. The sound warms them to know their enemies.

If a young jackdaw is in a dangerous place, a jackdaw parent flies over him from behind. The parent bird flies low over the young bird’s back. The parent’s tail feathers(羽毛) move quickly from side to side. It is trying to say,“Follow me.”At the same time, the parent calls out,“Key-aw, key-aw.”the parent means “Fly home with me.”The young bird then follows the older one home.

Young jackdaws do not have to learn what certain sounds mean. They know the meanings of these sounds from the time they hatch.

45．The jackdaw lives in ________.

47．Which of the following does this story lead you to believe?

48．The following is true except ________.

Stephen Chow(周星驰) was born in Hong Kong in June 1962. In his childhood, he was fascinated by Bruce Lee, much like other children at his age. Stephen Chow was nine years old in 1971 when Bruce Lee’s triumphant(成功的) Hong Kong film“The Big Boss”debuted(首映). It was a huge hit and he began to study martial arts(武术). It is said that his friends sometimes had to call him“small dragon”.

In 1982, after graduating from high school, Chow auditioned for Hong Kong’s TVB acting school, but did not make the cut. However, he was able to take night classes and, the next year, was chosen to be master of ceremonies(节目主持人) of the children’s program“430”. He was not fond of children, which made it difficult for him, but his performance went over well and he stayed on the show for five years. For several years after that, he worked on a variety of programs, and moved into drama, becoming even more popular.

In 1988, Chow played one of the leads in the movie“Final Justice”, winning Best Supporting Actor at the Taiwan Academy Awards. It was his first film. He had his first starring role in 1990 in a Chow Yun-Fat spoof(搞笑电影)“All for the Winner”and started excelling(胜出) in the comedy genre(风格)。Chow became the number one Hong Kong film actor of the 1990s, earning more than Jackie Chen by as much as two times. He made 29 films from 1990 to 1993.

Chow’s style at the time of“All for the Winner”was called“Makes No Sense”(无厘头). This style established his popularity in the 1990s as a comic actor.

Chow has also shown an interest in aspects of film production. He challenged to be the first director of his James Bond spoof“From Beijing with Love”. He became more concerned with the production side of movie-making with“The Journey to West”. And, he directed and starred in“Shaolin Soccer”,which was successful both in China and in the US.
