26、It is an old expression about some people who are highly motivated about work in itself with the opposite view of someone who works to live. 【1】 But answering it honestly and accurately is critical to making intelligent career choices, and to your ultimate happiness in life. Unfortunately, many people lack the self-knowledge and realistic expectations necessary to address this vital issue properly.
Certain people, it is said, live to work. Their lives center on their work or careers and that achievement in their professions is a major source of satisfaction and meaning in their lives 【2】 In some cases, achieving huge levels of pay is considered more as a means of proving your worth than it is for the money itself.
By contrast, other people work to live. These people view their work or careers largely as toil whose purpose is to earn the money necessary to support themselves and their dependents. Their real interests lie elsewhere. 【3】 Some of these people try to cut comers, to gain the maximum pay for the minimum amount of effort. Others do indeed take great pride in their work and put great effort into doing their jobs well, but their jobs simply are not the centers of their lives.
【4】 Examples abound of individuals who lose their native passion for work because they cannot find an adequate position or pay in their preferred fields of endeavor. When they settle for jobs in other fields, they often do so strictly for benefits, such as compensation (补偿). 【5】
A.It’s critical to understand it.
B.Money may not be a motivation.
C.They may develop-a same attitude.
D.And their work or careers are only means to an end, not an end in itself.
E.There is no right or wrong answer to the question of which attitude is better.
F.The answer for a given individual may differ based on his or her circumstances.
G.Many individuals used to work to live but after a change of career start living to work.
27、Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school. It must be wonderful to be a bird, she thought. Total freedom. No math class to sit in, and her days would be spent on horseback. She thought of her horse, Star.
“Madison. Could you please join us again?” Mrs. Smith said. “I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment.”
“Well, I didn’t have any problems doing it, but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it.” Some giggling spread through the room.
“Madison. I don’t know what I am going to do with you. You’re such a smart girl but you just don’t apply yourself. Class, clear your desks. Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon. He is a veterinarian (兽医). He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program.”
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid. Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying. Then a word caught her attention. Horse. Was he talking about horses?
Gradually, Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse, Star, needed care. She liked it that he even knew her horse’s name. “So, you just travel around and take care of horses all day long?”
Doctor Landon nodded. “I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county. It is a lot of work, but I love it.”
Madison’s mouth fell open. What a life that must be, she thought. At that moment, sitting in class, Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger. By the time she got off the bus that afternoon, her plans for the afternoon had changed. She was still going to ride Star, but first she was going to spend an hour studying math. Then tomorrow she’d spend an hour studying science.
【1】Why was Madison called by Mrs. Smith in class?
A.Because she had problems with math.
B.Because she was absent-minded in class.
C.Because she was distracted by the birds outside.
D.Because she forgot to bring her homework back.
【2】Why was Doctor Landon invited to the class?
A.To call for care for animals.
B.To enrich students’ outdoor activities.
C.To emphasize the importance of study.
D.To help students with their career choices.
【3】What can be inferred about Madison from the last paragraph?
A.She was greatly inspired.
B.She preferred math to science.
C.She didn’t believe Landon’s story.
D.She changed her hobby completely.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.An Exciting Horse Riding

28、Hey there,
So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money,and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going.Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax.You’re making the right decision.First of all,you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects.For example,it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures;once you’re in a drawingroom on campus,you’ll know one way or the other.College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate,you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years.And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attend college.
Finding the right college can be difficult.Fortunately,Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
*Researching Schools.To us,the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best—not the one that is the most competitive or has the bestequipped rooms.
*Applying to School.On JohnsonReview.com,you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.
*Raising Your Scores.American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions course.It’s not the most important, though,and not everyone needs to prepare for the test.But,if you think you can do better,find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School.Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college.The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid.If you really do your research,you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college,no matter the cost.
For more information,call 6003681 or visit JohnsonReview.com.Wherever you go,have a nice trip!

29、Nowadays, people begin to be aware the environment of ocean is becoming worse than before, so monitoring our ocean life becomes increasingly significant. However, observing sea creatures up close is almost impossible since human presence scares them. Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also known as SoFi, researchers may be able to keep a close eye on the sea creatures.
Built by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the white remotecontrolled robot resembles the real fish, complete with a tail that waves from side to side. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to monitor the ocean, SoFi settles many of the problems that have blocked the usefulness of the previous robotfish.
Previous AUVs have had to be linked to boats because radio frequency communications don't work well underwater. To overcome the problem, Director of the CSAIL Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves. The technology can travel greater distances allowing divers to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away.
Also limiting the usefulness of traditional AUVs is the risk of collision (碰撞). With the outside made of soft silicone (硅树脂) rubber and flexible plastic that keeps its inbuilt electronics dry, SoFi poses no such danger. A soft robot is not only more likely to survive a collision but also could use it as information to form a more workable movement plan next time around.”
During test dives, SoFi moved alongside the ocean life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking photos and making videos. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strangelooking robotfish out of curiosity, while at other times they took no notice of its existence.
While SoFi presently only records video, future versions will include sensors.
The researchers also hope to make it more autonomous. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more secrets from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.” says Rus.
【1】What does the writer think of SoFi?
A.It is the first AUV.
B.It is closely controlled.
C.It scares sea animals away.
D.It makes ocean exploration easier.
【2】What can we learn from Para.3?
A.Sound waves travel faster than radio.
B.A boat travels along with SoFi on the water.
C.Sound waves work better than radio underwater.
D.Previous AUVs use sound waves to communicate.
【3】How does SoFi deal with collision?
A.By using inbuilt electronics.
B.By limiting traditional AUV.
C.By avoiding extra movement.
D.By adjusting its movement path.
【4】What will happen to SoFi in the future?
A.It will be much smarter.
B.It will be free from control.
C.It will solve underwater problems.
D.It will take pictures and record videos.
