Passage One

Dear Mr. Brown,

I know how disappointed you must be with my arriving late at our company's annual dinner last night. It is really unfortunate that it has happened and I offer you my most humble apologies.

（71）Please understand that the last thing I wanted to do was to be late and offend you and the guests from the Head Office. My explanation is a simple one. I had left the key at home when I went to work in the morning. As you know, I live with my mother. To the best of my knowledge, she has no plans to go out in the afternoon. But when her friends called her to play bridge, she went—completely forgetting that I had no key.

Hence I was standing outside the apartment in despair and called her to come home quickly. But because of the traffic jam, she arrived home at about 7:30 p.m., when I should be at the dinner. You will understand that no matter how fast I was in dressing up, I was sure to be late.

Mr. Brown, please be assured that such a thing will never happen to me again.

Yours sincerely,

Bob

Passage Three

A recent survey by China Youth Daily shows that 85.5 percent of young Chinese are willing to take up side jobs. Of the 2,454 respondents aged from 18 to 35, nearly 12 percent have already had a side job in addition to their full-time work. （73）The attitude toward having side jobs varies among young people. About 72 percent believe that side jobs provide more possibilities, while 63.5 percent said that side hustles enrich spiritual life and offer a more colorful life outside of work.

Liu Qing, a young employee in Beijing who said she was planning to start a side job, warned that some young people think the standards for establishing a side business are low—they start casually, doing whatever job they want, even if it may not be suitable for them. "I think that if you want to be successful in your side job, you must do effective market research and understand how your skill set fits in the market," she said.

"Some young people choose side jobs out of proactive consideration." Wang Ting, a professor of China University of Political Science and Law, told China Youth Daily. "For example, starting with their own hobbies, so that their professional abilities and expertise can be improved through it, and they can make more valuable contributions to society. This is worth encouraging," Wang said.

"While, there are also some young people who passively choose to do side jobs just because their full-time job is unable to meet their personal, family and material needs. This may be very stressful, and it would be difficult to have time to take care of their family after work, and cannot guarantee or improve the quality of their full-time jobs," the professor added.

41、 How does Liu Qing think about doing a successful side job? ______

A. Conduct a rough market survey.

B. Develop skills needed by the market.

C. Establish a side business at a low level.

D. Attempt to do whatever they like.

42、 What does the underlined word "proactive" in Paragraph 3 mean? ______

A. Passive.          B. Negative.           C. Active.             D. Positive.

43、 What is important as for the choice of a side job in Wang Ting's opinion? ______

A. The income provided by the side job.

B. Whether it makes great contributions to society.

C. Taking your hobby and interest into consideration.

D. Improving one's professional abilities and expertise.

44、 What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ______

A. You can't live a better life without doing part-time work.

B. It is not advisable to do a part-time job entirely out of material considerations.

C. Doing a full-time job to the best of your ability is the most important.

D. It is impossible to ensure the quality of work while taking good care of family.

45、 Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? ______

A. A Sideline Choice for Young Chinese

B. How Your Skill Set Fits in the Market

C. Career Choice for Young Chinese

D. China Youth Should Make Contributions to Society
