employees today,‖ a man and a But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra - their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.
Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, ―In the 10 years ending in 2009, [U.S.] factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs - about 6 million in total -disappeared.‖
玉者，国之瑰宝；鼎者，国之重器
There will always be changed - new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.
In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to support employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21stcentury that ensures that every American has access to poet-high school education.
21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate_______
[A] the impact of technological advances
[B] the alleviation of job pressure
[C] the shrinkage of textile mills
[D] the decline of middle-class incomes
[A] adopt an average lifestyle
[B] work on cheap software
[C] contribute something unique
[D] ask for a moderate salary
[A] gains of technology have been erased
[D] Average Is Over

A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay, and who would make some money and then go home. Between 1908 and 1915, about 7millin people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname, ―uccelli di passaggio,‖ birds of passage.
玉者，国之瑰宝；鼎者，国之重器
Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or brand them as aliens to be kicked out. That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.
Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.
With or without permission, they straddle laws, with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can for a while and multiple outcomes, including some legally the existing system.
28.
[B] a global recognition
[C] opportunities to get regular jobs
[D]the freedom to stay and leave
29. The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated __
[A] as faithful partners
[B] with regal tolerance
[C] with economic favors
[D]as mighty rivals

completely family-friendly management decisions, and Europe’s top male. Indeed, women hold only 14 Reding up for gender balance goal of 40 per cent female board ―Personally, I don’t like quotas,‖ Reding said recently. ―But I like what the quotas do.‖ Quotas get action: they ―open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,‖ according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.
I understand Reding’s reluctance - and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.
After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as well as the
玉者，国之瑰宝；鼎者，国之重器
US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position - no matter how much ―soft pressure‖ is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power - as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook - they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.
If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women - whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.
36. In the European corporate workplace, generally_____.
[A] women take the lead
[B] men have the final say
[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed
[D] senior management is family-friendly
[A] a reflection of gender balance
[B] a reluctant choice
[C] a response to Reding’s call
[D] a voluntary action
[A] skepticism
[C] suitable public policies
[D] greater ―soft pressure‖

Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good 60 a week to spend, £40 of which goes on food, 130,000 a year working in corporate communications and eating and his drinking became serious. ―The community mental health team saved my life. And I felt like that again, to a certain degree, when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that I'd lost. But it's still a day-by-day thing." Now he's living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. He's feeling positive, but he'll carry on blogging - not about eating as cheaply as you can – ―there are so many people in a much worse state, with barely any money to spend on food‖- but eating well on a budget. Here's his advice for economical foodies.

42. _______ __
This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy. With them, there's not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer. And if you plan properly, you'll know that you only need, say, 350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon, not whatever weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.

I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week, I’ve been able to do this, since I was four.
I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs. My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away neatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do what everybody does - try to put it to one side. I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can

recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on Broadway on the same day - they both just pop into my mind in the same way.

我可以随便从过去53年中挑出1天立刻知道我在哪里，新闻中报道了什么，甚至那是哪周的哪一天。从4岁其我就可以这样做了。
我从未觉得大脑吸收如此多的信息将我压垮（成为我的负担），我的大脑好像能很好的处理这些信息并将其规整地储存起来。当我有糟糕的记忆时，我同其他人一样将其放在一边（束之高阁）。我不认为这对我很难仅仅是因为我的记忆更清晰。一些深刻的记忆并不会是我的感情更剧烈或更生动。我还记得我祖父去世的那天以及前1天我们去医院探望时感到的悲伤，同时我还记得音乐剧“Hair（头发）我的脑海。
