For some employers, the policy of lifelong employment is particularly important because it

means that they can put money and effort into their staff training and make them loyal to the company. What they do is to select young people who have potential and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for the company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.

One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. "This means that I will be a loyal employee", she says. "And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employee".

Recently, however, attitudes towards lifelong employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.

The purpose of lifelong employment is to ______.

A．adjust the needs of the company to its employees

B．make employees loyal to their company

C．select the best skilled young employees

D．keep the skilled staff satisfied

PassageOne Youngpeoplewhodrinkorusedrugsaremainlyinfluencedbyboththeirparentsandpeerpress

Passage One

Young people who drink or use drugs are mainly influenced by both their parents and peer pressure.

Other reasons they take that first drink are to be rebellious(反抗的), for curiosity or "kicks" (刺激)or to escape an unpleasant environment; And young people drink use drugs because alcohol(酒精) and drugs are at hand.

After first experimental use, young people continue to drink or use drugs because they believe these

substances can relieve boredom, increase energy, decrease anxiety, solve problems, or help them

socially. They may simply like the "high" they get in the early and middle stages of substance

use. After continued use, they will become physically and psychologically(心理地)addicted(上瘾的).

Now that we have admitted that we have to solve this problem, we must decide how to deal with this

challenge. Winning this will take a great effort involving local, state, and national government. It will

require the effort of schools, but it cannot be clone by schools alone. It will also require family and

community involvement. Already a great amount of time, energy and expert knowledge has been directed

toward dealing with it but the problem continues.

36. Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason of young pedple's drinking and usingdrugs in the passage？

A. The selling of alcohol and drugs,

B. Pressure from their parents and relatives.

C. Curiosity.

D. Their eagerness to experience what ,is not permissible to them.

Ballet for children and teenagers

It can take a long time to reach a professional level in ballet, so most dancers begin their training very young. It is essential that very young dancers learn the ballet movements properly right from the beginning. 【1】 This is because it is usually more difficult to change old habits than to learn new ones.

The first thing that young children who are interested in learning to dance often do is attend creative movement classes, where they can practice basic skills like jumping and turning, and just have fun. 【2】 In addition, some people recommend that they should learn either to sing or play instrument.

Young people who decide they want to have a ballet career can attend a dance school. Here, students not only study normal school subjects but also do daily dance training. 【3】 And the whole dance-school environment is set up to support the young people’s artistic development; it allows them to focus on their dance more easily, and prepares them for their future. But how can a young dancer and their parents tell which dance school is the most suitable? 【4】 The older students taking part in it should clearly have more highly-developed ballet skills than the younger dancers.

By the time they are 16 or 17, many ballet dancers are entering ballet competitions and taking classes at professional studies. 【5】 It is important for young dancers to know how well they are doing, because the dance world is very competitive and the training is hard; not everyone makes it to the top.

A.For all these reasons, they enjoy meeting other dancers.

B.Listening to different styles of music also helps.

C.Travelling long distances to dance schools can be tiring, too.

D.Attending one of their public performances is a good way of finding out.

E.If they develop poor techniques, they may have problems later on.

F.This allows them to compare themselves with teenagers from other schools.

G.That means they do not waste time travelling from home to dance classes.

Can ballet change Lives？ ____Last night I was worried,very worried

Can ballet change Lives？

21.____Last night I was worried,very worried. I had the job of going to watch amateur ballet dancers performing on stage with one of the UK's top professional ballet companies. A performance like this seemed very risky and! asked myself, 'Are they mad？'Before I tell you the answer,I'll tell you why I had such big doubts.

22.____The idea of mixing amateur and professional dancers started a couple of years ago when two friends with very different jobs found a way of working together. One of the men had created an award-winning TV series. Musicality ,in which amateurs trained to perform. in the musical Chicago. The other man runs a charity called Youth at Risk which works with young people who have serious problems with aggression and antisocial behaviour. Although it was a risk, the two men thought they could make a TV programme in which ballet changed the lives of young people with problems.

23.____Their idea was this: if the young people could accept the strict discipline and challenge of ballet training,it would build their self-esteem and give them new confidence in themselves. The first step was to find suitable teenagers to take part and they asked teachers and youth workers already working professionally with young people at risk, to find candidates for the project. Through them 300 young people joined the programme and although about half dropped out,in the end sixty teenagers appeared on stage in the public performance.

24.____The ballet they chose was Sergei Prokofie's Romeo and Juliet ,choreographed by Sir Kenneth MacMillan. The story of Romeo and Juliet includes family conflict, the generation gap ,gangs, murder ,young love and teenage suicide so it is the perfect mirror for the lives of troubled young people in today's society.

25.____Going back to my original question: 'Are they mad？' The answer is definitely ‘no’. As soon as the ballet started, my worries disappeared. It was amazing how these unlikely dancers were magically transformed into their characters. At the end of the evening I was left with this thought: 'ballet can change lives'. It is a dancing cure, not a talking cure; it is silent so it stops arguments.

A. Why I love going to the ballet

B. Where the idea came from

C. Why I was worried

D. Romeo and Juliet is the perfect choice

E. A new star is born in Chicago

F. How they found the young people

G. My final thoughts

H. A dancer's life
