Dear Ms White,
I used to have a lot of problems and I always tried to fix them. I used to do badly in English. To fix it, I read English newspapers and went to the school English corner to improve it. Now I’m quite good at it. I used to be weak. To fix it, I ate right and joined a sports club. Now I’m strong and healthy. I used to be afraid of speaking in public. To fix it, I took part in all kinds of school
activities. Now I’m outgoing and everyone likes making friends with me.
But now I have a problem that I can’t fix. I have the ugliest nose in the whole world! It’s not only fat but also big! I want to have a nose job (鼻子整形), but how can I get my parents to agree? Yours, Ann, 12
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dear Ann,
It sounds like you’re a really proactive (积极主动的) person, always fixing problems. That’s good, but when it comes to things like your nose, you have to stop. It sounds to me that you’re looking for things that are wrong with your body. That’s very dangerous. Also, I’d like to point out that nobody is perfect. A nose doesn’t reflect who you are, so there’s no need for you to feel bad about yourself at all.
In my opinion, as a student, you should pay more attention to your schoolwork instead of your looks. Best wishes, Ms White

A. advises Ann not to worry about her looks B. advises Ann to have an operation on her nose C. thinks Ann should learn to be a perfect person D. thinks schoolwork is less important than looks A. NEWS.

( )30. In which column of a newspaper can you probably find the above reading?
B. ADVICE. C. SCIENCE.
D. ADVERTISEMENTS.
B
A new study shows that workers should take their full vacation time. There are two reasons. First, when workers take breaks, they are less stressed (有压力的) and happier on the job. Second, workers will actually work harder when they come back. The study says that managers should take their full vacation time too. That’s because if workers see their managers at work all the time, they think they are expected to do the same.
Canadians are usually offered two to three weeks of paid vacation (带薪假期) when they start a job. However, one fourth of Canadian workers don’t take their full vacation time because they are afraid of having too much work to do when they get back. And most of them think they will be better workers in their managers’ eyes by ▲ . In the USA, the situation is even worse. Over a half of working Americans don’t use all of their vacation time. One of the biggest reasons is that they have too much work. It’s surprising that the United States is the only developed country in the world without a law (法规) to make employers (雇主) offer their workers paid vacation. Some other countries, for example, Germany, Australia and Japan, make employers offer their workers at least four weeks of paid vacation.
( )31. According to the new study, it’s ______ for both workers and managers to take full vacation time.
A. bad
B. easy
C. helpful
D. impossible
( )32. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A. asking for less B. working at home
C. taking less vacation time D. listening to them all the time A. They love their jobs a lot.
( )33. Many working Americans don’t take full vacation time. What’s the main reason?
B. There’s too much work to do. C. They want to make more money. D. Their managers are always working.
( )34. Alice, a Canadian, has got a job in Germany. The job should include at least ______ paid vacation.
A. four weeks’ C. two weeks’ A. a story C. a play
B. three weeks’ D. one week’s B. a notice
( )35. The above reading is probably ______.
D. a piece of news
