There are big cultural differences between the US and the UK, despite (尽管) having many similarities. Peple talk differently, and nt just in the accent r the wrds, but the general meaning.
Americans are very friendly. They will talk t strangers in a stre, laugh with smene at a bar, and help their neighburs as necessary. Many expats (移居海外者) have reprted difficulty in making really clse friends like they had in the UK. The friendliness is nly n the surface.
Many Americans are very family-centered. Family life includes endless schl musicals, after-class sprts, birthday parties and the like. Many new expats reprt exhaustin trying t keep up with all the things t d with the kids when they cme t the US.
Mst Americans have never been abrad. The United States is a huge cuntry. G and lk at a map f the US t get an idea.

Many Americans like t remember this nt because they like the ld cuntry but because they like t shw that their family came frm immigrants (移民) wh dreamed f a better life in America. By pinting ut that fact, many feel they are meeting their ancestrs’ wishes and dreams.
Making friends can be daunting. While fr sme in their 20s, they can reach ut t thse wh are als just starting ut and frm sme lifelng friendships, fr sme wh are lder, in their 30s and 40s, with kids and a family, meeting thers can be difficult.

Whenever I talk abut persnality in relatin t chsing a career, sme peple cmplain like this: Thse tests are s stupid. When I was in sixth grade, I tk ne f them and it said that I shuld be a farmer. While I dn’t think I wuld be a very gd farmer, the results are prbably a lt mre accurate (精确的) than I’d like t admit. At the time, it seemed unreasnable — I hated the utdrs and physical activities. Nw, I think it might have had sme pints that fit my persnality: I like planning (gd fr planning hw t grw crps), wrking by myself (fr thse lng days n an agricultural machine), and smetimes wrking n a team (fr harvest time).
Watch ut fr any persnality test that claims t be able t tell yu what yur dream jb is by the type f animal yu’d like t be, r frm yur favrite breakfast fd as a child. While there are many persnality assessments (评估) that are accurate, I’d like t say that they are a secnd step. The best chice is self-assessments.
Befre finding ways t knw yur wrk preferences, it’s imprtant t make a clear difference between liking a tpic and liking the wrk. I nce met a third-year marine (海洋的) bilgy student at a large state schl in Ohi. He was placed int the Whale Watch prgram, where he fund ut that he became vilently seasick n any kind f bat — a big disadvantage fr a student wh thught he wanted t study whales in the wild.
The best match is a career in which the majr tasks f the wrk are the tasks yu mst enjy ding and the tpic is ne f interest. If that career desn’t exist, my advice wuld be t take the jb where there is a skill match. In this way, yu will succeed at the basic tasks f yur jb and perhaps becme interested in it.
32. What is sme peple’s pinin n chsing a career thrugh persnality tests?
A. It’s pssible t lead t career failure.
B. It’s helpful nly in a limited way.
C. It’s unreasnable.
D. It’s wrth a try.
33. What des the authr think f the persnality test she tk when she was yung?
A. She admits it frecasts her present jb accurately.
B. She thinks it shws sme part f her persnality.
C. She finds it helpless fr her.
D. She has little interest in it.
34. What is the best way t knw yur dream jb?
A. Taking persnality tests n yur favrite things.
B. Ding accurate persnality assessments.
C. Trying yur dream jb in practice.
D. Finding it ut by yurself.
35. Why was the marine bilgy student unsuitable fr his jb?
A. He disliked the jb.
B. He felt sick traveling n a bat.
C. He was afraid f marine animals.

A
In the past few weeks Richard Eckersley has nticed a change in peple wh cme int his shp. The previus Manchester United ftballer, wh turned his back n the game t set up the UK’s first “zer waste” stre n Ttnes High Street in Devn, says it is n lnger nly envirnmentalists wh came in, lking fr a cleaner way t shp. “A lt f new peple are cming in. We are getting calls every week frm arund the cuntry frm peple wanting t set up smething similar in their twns,” says Eckersley, wh set up the shp with his wife Nicla in March 2017.
Mre than 200 miles away, Ingrid Caldirni shares the enthusiasm. She set up the plastic-free (无塑料的) Bulk Market in east Lndn. “We have had an amazing respnse (响应),” she says. Eckersley and Caldirni are at the head f an anti-plastic mvement in the UK that has been fuelled by newspaper investigatins (调查) including The Guardian’s Bttling It series and The Blue Planet televisin series.
But their enthusiasm is nt shared by big supermarkets, which have n interest in reducing their plastic waste. “Fr a natin f shpkeepers we are falling behind in this race,” says Sian Sutherland, funder f the campaign A Plastic Planet which led the calls fr plastic-free gds shelves. Wandering thrugh supermarkets where everything is cvered in plastic, Sutherland says actin rather than wrds is needed. Her c-funder Frederikke Magnussen explains the rigins f their campaign. “It started with tw unreasnable wmen wh wanted chice — and supermarkets are all abut chice, right? I can buy sugar-free, fat-free, African fd, Asian fd, yet if I want t buy plastic-free it is impssible fr me t d s.”
Eckersley says, “After Willw, my daughter, was brn, it made me think abut what future lies ahead (在前) fr her. I wanted t say that I at least tried, and I wanted t make a difference.”
1. What has happened t Richard Eckersley’s business?
A. It has spread wrldwide.
B. It is attracting large numbers f custmers.
C. It has received many cmplaints abut its gds.
D. It is facing fierce cmpetitin frm ther similar stres.
2. What d we knw abut Ingrid Caldirni?
A. She lst mney n her business.
B. She built a plastic-free stre in Devn.
C. She had little interest in waste reductin.
D. She tk part in an anti-plastic mvement.
3. Hw have big supermarkets reacted t the plastic-free idea?
A. They are giving up their riginal ideas.
B. They are ffering mre chices.
C. They shw little cncern fr it.
D. They supprt it.
4. What led t the campaign A Plastic Planet?
A. Custmers’ need fr plastic-free gds.
B. Plastic cverings in supermarkets.
C. The Blue Planet televisin series.
D. Richard Eckersley’s stre.
B
It was in 2004 that I decided t build a garden at Charltn Manr Primary Schl. I’d seen the news reprts abut children lacking (缺乏) knwledge f where their fd came frm and felt that we as a sciety had been separated frm fd. The reasn fr this was clear t me: we were n lnger educating ur children abut fd in schls. I saw a garden as a chance fr the children t learn in a real way. I als wanted t use it t cver tpics: life cycles, flwering plants, creative writing and reprt writing. I believed that plenty f subjects culd be well taught in a garden, while increasing pupils’ activity levels and encuraging teamwrk.
With many teachers facing explanatins frm children such as “It wasn’t my fault” and “It wasn’t nly me”, here was ur chance t develp a sense f respnsibility (责任). It hasn’t all been plain sailing (一帆风顺) thugh. At the beginning, we tried hard t get sme f the teachers n bard, because f cncerns that behaviural prblems wuld wrsen — because if they culdn’t trust the children in the classrm, wuldn’t they be wrse utside? But nce thse teachers started making use f the garden there was recgnisable behaviur change in thse pupils. The children wrked as a team and tk respnsibility fr grwing the plants.
We needed t think abut funding (资金), t. I knw ther schls that have taken different rutes t supprt such prjects — finding parent and grandparent vlunteers (志愿者) r smene with a knwledge f gardening wh are ready t share their skills and supprt teachers. Cmmunity is a big thing fr us. Prducts frm the garden are sld in the schl shp, run by the children n weekdays. We’ve als begun selling prducts, such as tmates, ptates, eggs and hney t parents and thers, and a lcal restaurant and Brugh Market in central Lndn, helping us t channel funds back int the garden.
The research f the Fd Grwing in Schls Taskfrce makes clear the advantages f schl gardens: learning, increased understanding f the natural envirnment. It has als shwn that utdr learning can add value t everyday experiences in the classrm. I’d agree. The garden has prvided wnderful learning chances fr the children. It has brught the cmmunity tgether.
5. Why did the authr plan a schl garden?
A. T prve the news reprts true.
B. T make use f the waste land in schl.
C. T prvide students with physical activities.
D. T ffer students chances t get t knw nature.
6. What d we knw abut the schl garden?
A. It went smthly frm the start.
B. It fails t get thrugh difficult times.
C. It was dubted by students in the beginning.
D. It has develped students’ sense f respnsibility.
7. Hw des the schl garden get its funds?
A. It depends n vlunteers.
B. It makes mney by selling its gds.
C. It is supprted by lcal gvernment.
D. It cllects mney frm students’ families.
8. What des the research fcus n?
A. The influence f cmmunities n schls.
B. The learning abilities f students.
C. The gd f schl gardens.
D. The pwer f nature.
