21、I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school, but making the transition (转变) between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There’re few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing (裁员) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.
“This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
【1】How did the author look back on his summer days while at college?

【2】What does the author say about college students?
A.They are confident of their future.
B.They think too highly of themselves.
C.They have little interest in blue-collar life.
D.They expect too much from the real world.
【3】What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers?
A.They do not get decent pay.
B.They have to work 12-hour shifts.
C.They do not have job security.
D.They have to move from place to place.
【4】In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him?

22、 If you're planning to go on a diet,or if you suffer from serious conditions like diabetes(糖尿病),knowing exactly what and how much you're eating is essential. In this day and age, we have calorie and nutritional calculators even on our smartphones, but they act only as guides, whereas Panasonic's revolutionary new device, CaloRieco, actually analyzes the food on your plate and provides accurate information about in just a few seconds.
You've probably used calorie calculators before, and you know that they only offer general information. For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger, but it can't tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger. The same goes for nutrients like protein or fats. And this is what makes the new CaloRieco so special.
Displayed at a recent tech show, CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection technology to determine the nutritional values of almost any food and also provide accurate calorie estimates.All you have to do is put your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food on there.
Once it's done analyzing the various ingredients in your meal, CaloRieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and very dark dishes.
CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld, so you can access it whenever you need.
Panasonic said that its outstanding invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers, both of which make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at the show is just a prototype(样品)which needs to be improved. It's scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery.
【1】What is special about CaloRieco?
A.It can present the exact data of analyzed food.
B.It is a high-tech device working as a guide
C.It uses light reflection technology
D.It only offers general information of food.
【2】According to the text, CaloRieco_________.
A.needs a long time to analyze the food
B.can display the food data on the smartphone directly
C.can count the calories of all foods on your plate
D.may be well received among dieters and diabetes sufferers
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Smartphone. B.App. C.Data. D.Food.
【4】What can we infer about CaloRieco from the last paragraph?
A.It's perfect. B.It's promising. C.It's costly. D.It's portable.
23、 In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some hold an optimistic attitude. They value it highly,believing that it is a natural result of social progress and prosperity(繁荣) and that anyone who wants to he outstanding has to keep up with the pace. Others think otherwise. They say that competition is bad,that it sets one person against another and that it leads to the unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who hold the belief that their self-worth depends on how well they perform at tennis and other skills. For them,playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求) of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However ,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others have an opposite opinion. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. They have no choice. Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying,they always have an excuse: “I may have lost,but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. “ What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they really try and lose,that will mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(消除) can we discover a new meaning of competition.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failure is a necessary experience in competition.
【2】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means __________.
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who are against competition most strongly
D.those who rely on others most for success
【3】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?
A.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B.One's success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.
【4】Which point of view may the author agree with?
A.Every effort should be paid back.
B.Competition should be encouraged.
C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
24、My 3-year-old son and I lived a very hard life because I had been out of work since two years ago. Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says: “Can I have some more bread and jam (果酱) please, Mummy?” And you break down in tears, because you don’t know how to tell him that there is no more food. With £6, I went to the supermarket, picked up some food and started to cook at home. It was time for me to make a change and get back on my feet. I began to write a series of articles for the website named Hunger Hurt in July 2011.
A few months later, local food bank gave me some help-- with some free vegetables every month, which made my life a little easier. I began to write recipes(食谱), posting them on my blog. To my surprise, families, students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.
My Life took unexpected turns. I was invited to give a speech on food , interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks and asked to write a cookery book.
