10.Athena Goddess of wisdom, war and the crafts, and favorite daughter of Zeus, Athena was, perhaps, the wisest, most courageous, and certainly the most resourceful of the Olympian gods. Objects associated with the goddess include an owl - symbol of wisdom - and the olive tree. She is often depicted in art with armor, a golden helmet, a shield, and holding a spear. Zeus was told that his son would take his throne from him, just as he had taken power from his father Cronus. Accordingly, when Metis was pregnant, he swallowed her and Athena was born from Zeus’ head, wearing armor and fully grown. A popular theme in ancient art, Hephaistos is often depicted in the role of midwife, splitting Zeus’ head with an axe. She is closely associated with Athens, the city named in her honor after the people of Attica chose her as their patron following her gift of the olive tree, symbol of peace and plenty. Protector of Heracles, Athena often aids him in his twelve labors, for example, by helping him hold the world as Atlas searches for the sacred apples of the Hesperides. Perseus was another favorite and was given a shield to protect himself in his quest to kill Medusa. Achilles is helped to kill Hector, and Odysseus too was often given the benefit of Athena’s wisdom. Athena was a major protagonist in Homer’s account of the Trojan War in the Iliad where she supports the Archaeans and their heroes, especially Achilles, to whom she gives encouragement and wise counsel. 19.Why did Zeus swallowed Metis?
A、Athena was the wisest, most courageous Olympian god.
B、Zeus was told that his son would take his throne from him.
C、Athena was born from Zeus’ head, wearing armor and fully grown.
D、Zeus had taken power from his father Cronus.
Many jobs have been lost and they may not be coming back. Some occupations had already been declining for years due to advances in technology and changes in the global economy. The following is a list of careers that are disappearing. Stage Performers The five-year decline for this career was a surprising 61%. Stage performances have fallen out of fashion and have been almost entirely replaced with movies and home entertainment technologies. Postal Service Mail Sorters (分拣员) After losing almost 57,000 jobs between 2004 and 2009, a further 30% decline in this occupation can be seen by 2018. With more automatic processes for mail sorting and increasing correspondence via e-mail and fax, this job is quickly becoming unnecessary. Office Support Workers About 300,000 office support jobs disappeared between 2004 and 2009. Secretaries and file clerks are no longer in demand as companies cut costs. Moreover, technologies like voicemail and easy-to-use word processors have enabled professionals to do their own office work. Photo Processors With the rise of digital photography and automatic printing, positions for manual photo printers are rapidly disappearing. The occupation has been steadily losing jobs in the last five years and there might be a 24% decline by 2018. Radio Operators As technology advances, the need for workers to monitor communications via radiotelephone equipment is disappearing. This already small field saw a five-year decline of 43%. Q: Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A、Advanced Technologies
B、Rising Unemployment
C、Disappearing Careers
D、Global Economy
Since the 1980s, experts have been claiming that the skill demands of today’s jobs have outstripped the skills workers possess. Moss and Tilly counter that worker deficiencies lie less in job-specific skills than in such attributes as motivation, interpersonal skills, and appropriate work demeanor. However, Handel suggests that these perceived deficiencies are merely an age effect, arguing that workers pass through a phase of early adulthood characterized by weak attachment to their jobs. As they mature, workers grow out of casual work attitudes and adjust to the workplace norms of jobs that they are more interested in retaining. Significantly, complaints regarding younger workers have persisted for over two decades, but similar complaints regarding older workers have not grown as the earlier cohorts aged. The last sentence serves primarily to
A、suggest that worker deficiencies are likely to become more pronounced in the future
B、introduce facts that Handel may have failed to take into account
C、cite evidence supporting Handel’s argument about workers
D、show that the worker deficiencies cited by Handel are more than an age effect
E、distinguish certain skills more commonly possessed by young workers from skills more commonly found among mature workers
Read the text and decide the function of each sentence in the text. Managers will often put a CV on the rejection pile for any number of reasons. This is not something one should take personally. It happens because they will receive hundreds of applications for a job and need a way to cut that number down quickly to the twenty or so they intend to interview. The list is obviously endless, but includes major gaps, such as lack of qualifications, and minor oversights, such as spelling errors. Managers will often put a CV on the rejection pile for any number of reasons.
A、supporting reason

Text III Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in living in another country. Although many experiments have been done, the findings have always been unclear or incomplete. It might be a tough question for them, but three characteristics stand out in the scholars’ reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear. Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has ever been sure they will. It is the characteristic that may help one go on with the thing he or she is researching. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not. It may put off the thing one is going on. Next, a person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own relations than is a humorless person. This characteristic helps one deal with the problem in his research or study. When one has to be faced with some trouble, a humorous person is more likely to handle it in a more relaxed and correct way. Finally, “the awareness of being unclear” is an even more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor and should be focused on. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It is like I just got here from the moon.” A Chinese graduate student who had just arrived in the United States said, “Things are just so different here.” 11. The passage mainly tells us ___________.
A、that it’s not easy to travel abroad
B、that humor is very important in communication
C、of some skills in dealing with foreigners
D、of three main characteristics useful in communicating with foreigners
