A. $ 110 B. $136 C. $133 D. $127 B This is my son Matthew’s last night at home before college. I know that this is good news. I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can’t stop crying. Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment. “Pull yourself together!” I tell myself. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shocked and upset? One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening. Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realize it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child. His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realize. For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I’m glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence. 24. What does the writer mean by “Pull yourself together!”? A. Get up. B. Cheer up. C. Pull up. D.

Matthew is ready for his new life D. the writer wasn’t brave enough to face his parents’ divorce 26. How does the writer feel about his son’s leaving for college? A. Worried. B. Grateful. C. Relieved. D. Bittersweet. 27. Which of the following could be the best title of the text? A. Unavoidable Goodbye B. Sweet Memories C. Glorious Moment D. Unconditional Love C Google is consistently rated the best place to work. So you need a degree from Harvard to get in the door, right? - 2 -
Not really, according to Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations. When the company was small, Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard, Stanford, MIT and many other Ivy League schools. But Bock said it was the “wrong” hiring strategy. Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many other places, from state schools in California to New York. “What we find is the best people from places like that are just as good, if not better, as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school,” said Bock, who just authored a book titled “Work Rules!”. Every year, 2 million people apply to get a job at Google. Bock himself has seen some 25,000 résumés. So what else does Google not care about: Grades: Google’s data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career, but do not matter after that. Brain-teasers: Gone are interview questions such as: Why are manhole covers (井盖) round? or How many golf balls can fit in a school bus? “Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,” Bock said. “They’re a really coachable skill. The more you practice, you get better at it.” Here’s what Google does care about: Problem solvers: Your cognitive ability (认知能力), or how well you solve problems. Leaders: The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank, but rather: “When you see a problem do you step in, help solve it,” and then critically, “Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over, and make room for somebody else? Are you willing to give up power?” Googleyness: That’s what Google calls its cultural fit. It’s not “Are you like us?” Bock said. “We actually look for people who are different, because diversity gives us great ideas.” “What’s most important is that people are intellectually humble, willing to admit when they’re wrong, and care about the environment around them...because we want people who think like owners not employees,” Bock said. The least important thing? Knowing how to do the job. “We figure if you get the first three right you’ll figure it out most of the time.” 28. What does Bock mean in Paragraph 2? A. People from state schools can be as good. B. Google no longer hires people from Ivy League schools. C. Hiring is a hard job for Google. D. State schools are worse than Ivy League ones. 29. Which question belongs to a brain-teaser? A. What are your grades like? B. What is the significance of figuring out target users? C. How would you improve a Google product? D. How much toilet paper is needed to cover Texas? 30. Who is a qualified leader according to Google? A. One eager for power. B. One capable of working independently. C. One willing to step aside. D. One operating an organization. 31. What is Googleyness? A. Being unique. B. Being adaptable. C. Being qualified. D. Being loyal. D Someone sent me an email urging me to acquire a lot more resources, suggesting that I could do so much more good if I had an 8 or 9 figure net income instead of 6 like I’ve been doing for years. He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart. As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity (清晰的思维) as to what I’d do with 1 million or 10 million more money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment, - 3 -
