9、 thought they had. Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or
10、family friend to help them out. “Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increas
11、e her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it re-grows, you can get at least 5 cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony(痛
12、苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality. No one is born perfect, yet
13、 magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased,
14、 no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career. 21. We can know from the passage that the author works as _. A. a doctor B. a model C. a teacher D. a reporter22. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery t
15、o _. A. marry a better manwoman B. become a model C. get an advantage over others in job-hunt D. attract more admirers23. According to the passage, the author believes that _. A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the cost B. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in h
16、unting for jobs C. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in ones career D. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery24. The best title for the passage should be “_”. A. Young Graduates Have Higher Expectation B. Young Graduates Look to Surgery
17、for Better Jobs C. Young Graduates Opinion About Cosmetic Surgery D. Young Graduates Face a Different Situation in Job-huntB I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010, just in time to watch my mother die. Our parents were both gone now; I took with me as many things they had left behind as I
18、could.I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, and books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.The woman, the host of the stoop（门
19、廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didnt need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal, recover, or grow.I wasnt planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated h
20、er things and I would give them a safe home.

It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.A few weeks ago, I carried my mothers dresses to a friends stoop. These were her best items, which were once worn by the most imp
22、ortant person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Moms dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred （神圣的）as my memory of her. I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly, it needs to find a new home. Even

35、ss pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink. However, several types of animals can walk on water.

36、 for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, wed need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate hitting. “
37、 But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a non-Newtonian liquid that doesnt behave like normal water.
