21、For those of you who have decided to study in colleges overseas, it’s time to choose your major. There’s no standard rule for how to decide on a major. 【1】

●Start with your interests.

Brainstorming can be helpful. Make a list of everything you’re passionate (热情的) about. 【2】 Then, review your list and pick out a few things that could be related to different courses.

●Think about your abilities.

Next, make a list of your skills. 【3】 Attending some academic programmes or off-campus activities and taking internships (实习) are good ways to both explore your interests and gain skills.

●【4】

You might not know exactly what you want to do professionally, but you may have a more general goal of doing work that helps people, for example. Additionally, you may also want to compare salaries for various careers to see what the future would be like if you had that career.

●Get insight from professionals.

You might have friends or family members who can share their experience of choosing a major. 【5】 They will have consultants and resources that you can use to gain a better understanding of the options available to you.

A．It’s important to remember that your major isn’t a direct route to a future career.

B．However, here are some ways to narrow it down.

C．Consider your career outlook.

D．Compare the two lists to see where they overlap.

E．Knowing what really engages you is important when selecting a major.

F．Your passions will help present your potential choices for subjects to study.

G．Meanwhile, you could also turn to some training schools for overseas studies.

22、What do you do when you have a problem? Do you go to an expert, ask your friends to come up with an idea? Or would you ask a crowd of strangers for a solution? It may sound strange, but it has spurred more than a few successful innovations. That’s the thinking behind a “challenge prize”.

Challenge prizes come in many shapes and sizes but the basic concept remains the same. Rather than consulting and paying an expert to innovate a solution, you offer the prize up to anyone who believes they can solve it and present the first to do so with a prize. Many would argue, “Who is better qualified than an expert?” But actually, not using one seems to result in a great deal of thinking outside of the box.

Some argue that formal education can kill creativity because it sometimes only teaches a single solution to a problem or single method to achieve a task. In the same way, some suggest that experts can suffer from tunnel vision. “If we launch an XPRIZE and it’s just the ‘experts’ that come out and compete, they’re usually the ones that will tell us it can’t be done.” says Marcus Shingles, former CEO of the XPRIZE Foundation.

There are other advantages too. “You’re not asking people to use a particular solution set on how to solve that problem. So you get this tremendous amount of diversity.” adds Shingles. What’s more, the crowd can also throw up issues that may have been overlooked.

However, there are dangers connected to blue-sky thinking. “You don’t want to be creating a challenge prize which pushes people to solve a problem where there is no demand,” says Tris Dyson, executive director of challenge prizes. And of course, there are those who invest their personal time and money only to see no return at all: someone else claims the prize, or they find that the reward does not match the resources they invested.

【1】What might be the best title of the article?

A．The secret of Challenge prize

B．Challenge prize: everyone can be an expert.

C．The pros and cons of challenge prize.

D．Challenge prize helps solve problems.

【2】Which of the following is not an advantage of challenge prize mentioned in the article?

A．It promotes diversified thoughts and opinions.

B．It helps solve neglected issues.

C．It gathers public wisdom.

D．It pushes the boundary of traditional thinking.

【3】What does “blue-sky thinking” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Optimistic and positive thinking patterns.

B．Thinking in unconventional ways.

C．Diversified thinking with boundary.

D．Innovative thinking without demand.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards challenge prize?

A．Objective.

B．Supportive.

C．Indifferent.

D．Skeptical.

23、Hot Spots for Retirees to Start Their Encore Career

Encore Career: Vocational School Instructor

Apparently instructors are in short supply in sunny L.A., where there are 13 jobs at vocational schools for every applicant on the market. This is a great opportunity for skilled retirees since, unlike teaching at a public school that requires a state certificate, the only requirement here is that you be a seasoned expert in your field.

24、In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching.

Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.

The lesson timetable was built around the kids performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板)act, ”he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls(旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders. . . and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.

【1】Why did John Smyth stay in the Stardust Circus?

A．To run the circus.

B．To live far from towns.

C．To educate the children.

D．To conduct a program.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Teachers of the VISE program live too far away.

B．Children in the circus are taught at fixed time.

C．John instructed the gymnast’s performance of swinging in the air.

D．The couple enjoyed sleeping with the sound of lions roaring.

【3】Which word best describes John’s experience of meeting the little lions?

A．Scary.

B．Upsetting.

C．Boring.

D．Memorable.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Working for a Living

B．Returning to School

C．Running with the Circus

D．Travelling with Animals
