听力原文：M: It is good to have some company for the drive. It’s a long way to Edinburgh, and it’s very boring if you are on your own.
W: I’m really lucky you stopped and offered me a lift. I’ve been waiting for about two hours but no one seemed to be going my way.
M: Are you a student？

听力原文： When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, "I know he's good. But is he lucky？" Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck..
When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck.
How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round.
People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, hard work and luck are always hand in hand.
(30)
A．Hard work is the most important thing for one's success.
B．Hard work may invite good luck.
C．Good luck plays an important role in one's success.
D．Success has nothing to do with luck.

听力原文：W: Alexander, you speak quite good English. How did you learn a foreign language so well？ You know English is really a headache for me. I just don't know how to learn it well.
M: Well, when learning a foreign language, I would surround myself in the language, the target language, that I wanted to learn.
W: Surround oneself in the language？ I think it is difficult to do that. Can you explain how you do it？
M: Uh, for example, I would watch a movie in that language, uh, which would help me keep motivated to learn vocabulary and phrases.
W: That sounds interesting.
M: Yeah, you'll have a lot of fun by doing so.
W: I see. A little hit of practice every day is very important to language learning.
M: Yes. Regular practice is also better than practicing a lot in one day. Learning a language well needs patience and perseverance.
W: Then what else did you do to learn a foreign language？
M: Well, I would keep a situational notebook.
W: What is that used for？
M: Ur, for example, in a restaurant, you use a certain phrase over and over again, and so if you can remember just one particular phrase in each setting, then you can immediately speak that language and have more confidence and you get more out of learning the language, I think.
W: Really？ I'll try that. Thank you for your advice.
M: You're welcome.

It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes ——research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence.
It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.
Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14- point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent .
For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one , they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.
Dr Fletcher said:“The results do show that people ’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”
6.What is the “plainness penalty ”？
A.To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking
B.To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking
C.To be fired for being ordinarily-looking
D.To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking
How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher ’s study？A.About 280
B.About 4,000
C.About 2,000
D.About 320
What ’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person？A.￡2,500
B.￡25,000
C.￡22,500
D.￡27,500
Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage ？A.IQ is less important than appearance
B.Confidence makes people prettier
C.Good looks earn an extra penny
D.How Plain Janes get a higher salary
Good-looking people are usually paid more probably because________ .A.they look smarter
B.they have higher degrees
C.they are better at pleasing others
