Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed. Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with.
Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel very lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don't get along. That doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we will even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some parks are named this way. So are some
schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
36. The phrase \"make up\" in paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A.invent B.put together C.end a quarrel
D.complete
37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.People usually feel depressed when their friends move away. B.People may call and write to their friends.

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive (重复的) task. Yet any carelessness on an applicant's part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. ?When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.
?Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing--write carefully and neatly.
?Use words that describe the responsibility and different
aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.
?Particularly describe social activities that show your
involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.
?Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.
?Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression (进展) from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit
naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.
41. The first sentence of the passage means that ______.
A.you may have to fill in a long application form B.the filling up of an application form takes much time C.one may have to fill in many application forms before one gets a job
