26、   To get a well-paid job after graduation，many Chinese students like to chose science such as engineering and computer programming. Meanwhile，humanities majors(人文专业)are often let out in the cold.

Even in the United States，the past decade has seen fewer college students taking humanities as a major since the 2008 financial crisis，according to an article published by The Atlantic in August. Instead，more and more students study science majors，such as engineering，computer science，and biology. According to the US Department of Education，exercise science，nursing，and computer science are among the fastest growing majors in 2017.

The change of students' preference of majors could be because they care more about finding a better job after the financial crisis，reported The Atlantic. Many believe humanities majors don't allow them to find a good job，while science majors could help them land a good job.

“It's really no surprise that they want to pay more attention to the career pathways they are likely to get into with a particular credential(证书).And we are seeing that reflected in our employee numbers，"Greg Summers，professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the US，told Inside Higher Education.

However，humanities majors are believed to have their own advantages.“Humanities majors encourage analysis，critical thinking，and a good knowledge of various topics. These majors look deeper into varied texts that influence media，culture，society，literature，and politics，"according to Huff Post.

While students who majored in humanities may earn less than science majors when they just graduate from college，humanities majors will gradually catch up，according to a 2018 report by the American Academy of Arts & Science.

To say the least，your life isn't completely decided by your major."Not every software engineer is successful，and not every philosophy(哲学)major is unemployed. One’s major does not determine one's future，"commented Huff Post.

【1】More and more college students take science majors rather than humanities majors because ______.

A.they are more interested in science majors

B.humanities majors are of no practical value

C.science majors can help them find a good job

D.many countries suffered the 2008 financial crisis

【2】Paragraph 6 is intended to tell us that______.

A.not every science major can mean a good job for students

B.humanities majors will bring more chances to college students in the future

C.the number of college students taking humanities majors will gradually rise

D.college students taking humanities majors will gradually earn more in the long term

【3】The purpose of the passage is to _____.

A.give college students advice on choosing majors

B.encourage more students to take humanities majors

C.inform students of the advantages of science majors

D.tell the difference between science and humanities majors

27、   As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re­readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a traditional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.

New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time English woman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re­reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeated reading, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.

Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”

It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by living experience but also by reading experience. More than the movie director, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature. 

Re-reading a book takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it extremely worthwhile.

【1】The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to________.

A.attract the attention of readers B.introduce the topic of the passage

C.provide some background information D.show the similarity between re­readers

【2】The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.

A.recite them B.re­read them C.recall them D.retell them

【3】It can be learned from the passage that________.

A.reading benefits people both physically and mentally

B.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading

C.we know ourselves better through re­reading experience

D.writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do

【4】The purpose of the passage is to________.

A.call on different understandings of old books

B.focus on the mental health benefits of reading

C.bring awareness to the significance of re­reading

D.introduce the effective ways of re­reading old books

29、Those who work on the “996” model (where employees work from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week) must envy their counterparts (对应的人)in an American company, because they have a shorter work week. Basecamp, a Chicago-based web application company gives all his employees a short work week: just four days—a total of 32 hours, between May and September every year. Also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year.

“That’s plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expect and all we want from people,” says Jason Fried, a co-founder. “Working 60-plus, or 70-plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 60-plus or 70-plus hours a week, there’s a management problem.”

The company’s summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr. Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week - to recover from work, enjoy time with family and develop outside interests - would be undone.

His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees’ physical and mental health. It is also the intensity (强度)of work. Moreover, it suggests that intensity work harms career prospects (前景).That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.

The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”. The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.

【1】What do we know about Basecamp’s four — day work week?

A．It lasts nearly half a year.

B．The work pressure is too high.

C．There are some management problems.

D．Employees work more than 8 hours a day.

【2】What does Mr. Fried intend to say in paragraph 2?

A．Given plenty of time, people can do more.

B．To get work done well needs plenty of time.

C．People can do a job very well in a short work week.

D．A long work week is appropriate for reduced workload.

【3】What does the research mentioned in the text want to tell us?

A．Getting much more rest.

B．Improving work quality.

C．Refusing a five-day work week.

D．Avoiding working too intensely.

【4】What can be the best title for this passage?

A．More Work, More Profits

B．Shorter Week, Better Reward

C．Less Work, Less Benefits

D．Longer Hours, Higher Intensity
