Millions of people live in the big city, and millions of people who work in the big city live in the subrbs, the commuters, are hurrying to get to their offices. Everyone is in a hurry.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Not very long ago, when people needed to find a job, there were several possible steps. They might begin with a look through the classified ads in the newspaper. They could go to the personnel office at various companies and fill out an application, or they could go to an employment agency. They could even find out about a job opening through word-of-mouth - from another person who had heard about it.

These days, job hunting is more complicated. The first step is to determine what kind of job you want (which sounds easier than it is) and make sure that you have the right education for it. Rapid changes in technology and science are creating many professions that never existed until recently. It is important to learn about them because one might be the perfect profession for you. The fastest-growing areas for new jobs are in computer technology and health services. Jobs in these fields usually require specific skills, but you need to find out exactly which degrees are necessary. For example, it may be surprising to learn that in the sciences, an M.S. is more marketable than a Ph.D! In other words, there are more jobs available for people with a Master of Science degree than for people with a doctorate (however, people who want to do research still need a Ph.D.)

How do people learn about "hot" new professions? How do they discover their "dream job"? Many people these days go to a career counselor. In some countries, job hopping has become so common that career counseling is now "big business". People sometimes spend large amounts of money for this advice. In Canada and the United States, high school and college students often have access to free vocational counseling services on campus. There is even a career organization, the Five O'Clock Club, which helps members to set goals. Members focus on this question: what sort of person do you want to be years from now? The members then plan their career around that goal. All career counselors - private or public - agree on one basic point: it is important for people to find a career that they love. Everyone should be able to think, "I'm having such a good time. I can't believe they're paying me to do this.”

It can be inferred from the passage that what determine one’s success in job hunting is _______________.

A. his or her degrees or skills

B. his or her choices of employment agencies

C. discovery of his or her own dream job

D. his or her career counsellors

Read and listen to the article again and answer the questions.

1. What problem will we have in the next thirty years?

2. Why are insects the solution?

3. What does the word they in bold refer to?

4. In what parts of the world do people eat insects?

                                                  The food of the future

                                       INSECTS - The superfood of the future

There are a lot of hungry people in the world, so how do we deal with it? In the next thirty years, we'll need to provide enough protein for billions more mouths, and with all these extra people there will be even less space for farming. One solution is for us to eat insects. They are a great source of protein and they don't need as much space or water as farm animals.

So why don't we eat insects regularly? The fact is that many people in Asia, Africa and South America already do. The problem is that Europeans and North Americans don't want to. Some governments are now trying to convince them why it is a good idea. The Nordic Food Lab in Copenhagen, for example, developed the 'Insect Deliciousness' project. Its chefs have been to five continents to discover an incredible world of insect flavour. In Australia, they tasted honey ants. They ate fried caterpillars in Tanzania, and in Mexico, they enjoyed desert-ant eggs. Will they and other similar organisations persuade Europeans and Americans to take a bite from a caterpillar or an ant? What's your view? How many people will eat insects in the future? How much food made with insects will you eat?

IV. Read the following passages. Then answer the questions

Young people prefer the town to the country because they love the noise and busy life. They also think that it is easier to get money in the town than in the country, Therefore, more and more young people leave the country for the town every year. Different from young people, old people like living in the country because the country is not so noisy and busy as the town. The air in the country is much fresher than the air in the town, too. Therefore, after stopping working, many of the old people move to their home villages.

Questions: 1. Why do young people prefer the town to the country?

2. Do they think that it is more difficult to get money in the country than in the town?

3. What about the air in the country?

4. What do many of the old people do after stop working?
