However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. “ This job pays well, but it's hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “ Study hard and keep reading.” she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.24. What does the author think of his summer holiday？A. It was no holiday for him at all.B. It brought him nothing but suffering.C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.25. What can we infer about most college students？A. They do better in the real world.B. They are confident when they work.C. They think too highly of themselves.D. They are expert at handling machines.26. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?A. A low incomeB. The lack of securityC. An unstable locationD. Less break27. How did the working experiences change the author？A. He became responsible for his work.B. He learned to be more practical at work.C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.D. He came to appreciate his college education.CThe artificial control of the weather, known as weather modification, seems like something out of a science fiction novel, but now it seems to have become a reality. Weather Modification International, a North Dakota-based company, is using planes to target clouds and draw out more rain from them.The concept behind the practice, which is called cloud seeding, has been around for decades. But there is new urgency due to climate change and a rapidly growing global population, which have disrupted (中断) global water supplies.Weather Modification describes cloud seeding as “an improvement” of the natural raining process. The technology makes storms more efficient by getting additional moisture (水汽) out of clouds.“If there are no clouds in the sky that have any moisture in them, then we can’t do anything.” said Brian Kindrat, an aircraft captain at Weather Modification. “What we can do is tap into what is there a nd assist mother nature.”To do this, pilots target clouds with lots of moisture and put small amounts of a silver iodide (碘化银) mixture. The water in the clouds condenses (凝结) and becomes heavy. Then, it falls to the ground as rain.The company sees cloud seeding as part of a solution for droughts (干旱). “We aren't going to solve large climate shifts in areas, but if you went back and you looked in California and said if we had an additional 10%, 15%, 20% of snowpack and rain over the last 10 year...it would be significantly different." said Neil Brackin, president of Weather Modification. "With such a program as cloud seeding, additional water for cities and agriculture is available. In fact everybody can benefit from it." Brackin added.But there are concer ns about cloud seeding’s long-term impacts. For example, it's unclear how making it rain in one state affects a neighboring state. It's also up for debate wh o “owns” the water―such as which state or country―that comes out of the clouds. There are also environmental questions, such as ones related to the long-term impacts of silver iodide.Although some critics may have concerns about companies impacting the weather, the company denies that it's “playing God”. “We're not really playing God. I think that's really overstating what we're doing.” Brackin said. "We're being very specific and environmentallyfriendly in what we're doing to enhance the natural raining."28. What can we learn about cloud seeding from paragraph 2 and 3?A. It has not been put into practice yet.B. It will enable people to control the weather at will.C. It is a new concept put forward recently.D. It can help deal with drought.29. What did Brian Kindrat want to say about Weather Modification？A. It can create rain magically.B. It can only depend on nature.C. It has the ability to change nature.D. It can produce rain from any cloud.30. What can be inferred from Brackin's words in the last paragraph？A. He is full of confidence in the future of cloud seeding.B. He thinks the existing cloud seeding needs to be improved.C. He disagrees with the criticism aimed at the impact of cloud seeding.D. He believes cloud seeding can do much more than increasing rainfall.31. What's the author's attitude to the practice of cloud seeing？A. ObjectiveB. CriticalC. ApprovingD. DoubtfulDNowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.If you're the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person's performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I'm painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I'd have any husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.If you're on the receiving end of criticism, the "OK" response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you're doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a potentially explosive situation which might cause serious consequences. It's important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning (指责) and you will not be condemned.""One can learn to be "OK" with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be "OK".32. According to the author, what would today's people like to do?A. They ignore the mistakes of others.B. They focus on how to handle mistakes.C. They like to point out the mistakes of others.D. They have a moral duty to help others with failure.33. What is the proper response to criticism in the author's opinion?A. Paying no attention to itB. Learning something from it.C. Making excuses for your mistakes.D. Defending and attacking.34.

Is criticism really necessary in our relationships?B. What can you learn from criticism?C. What's the best way to voice criticism?D.
