B According to estimates（估计） from the airlines around one quarter of all air travelers like to experience new cultures, meet interesting people and sell their things. Sales is a truly international kind of work. We met John at a hotel in Beijing. But he could have been anywhere. He told us some trade secrets. How did he start? “My dad said that he „talked for a living‟ and to me that seemed better than getting a proper job. If you have sticking power and tend to be able to persuade people to do what you want them to do you can succeed. Around 75% of the job is about psychology.” John says. John has some clear advice for people wanting to start. “Once the process is understood, most people can do it. The job description is „problem solver‟. First find out what the problem is. Then make the customer believe that it exists and make sure that they would like it solved. Now deliver a solution.” “We have two ears and one mouth. To do this job we have to use them properly. Only by listening, asking, listening and asking again can you truly determine the problem. Delivering the solution is then simple.” It can be a lonely life. There is a lot of time spent in hotel rooms in strange cities, waiting for people you don‟t know to refuse to listen to you. “To succeed in this environment takes patience and selfbelief,” says John. “You have to believe that nine times out of ten you will hear the word „no‟. All these rejections are steps on the way to the word „yes‟.” If you can buy that, then what will people buy from you? 60. Estimates from the airlines are mentioned in the text because ___________. A. these estimates are believable B. sales is international C. air traveling is important in modern life D. sales people are mostly from the airlines 61.

A. persuade the customer to buy things B. make friends with the customer C. make the customer pleased with you D. help the customer to solve a problem 62. What does the writer mean by saying “If you can buy that”? A. If you buy what John sells. B. If you work hard as John does. C. If you follow John‟s advice. D. If you decide to be a sales person. 63. What is the subject discussed in the passage? A. The life of a sales person. B. The process of solving a problem. C. The difficulties for a sales person. D. The way of selling things successfully. C Sometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different bees boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial（外星的） intelligence? Or even better, why not get your puter to do it for you? Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence（ SETI） project. Based in California, the SETI project analyses information taken from a giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that life exists on other plas. Processing（处理） this information is far too big a job for one puter. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website. Each puter gets some information to work out from the SETI work through the Inter. This process is often known as “metaputing”. It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with friends. All this time, your puter is searching the stars for signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential of puting. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games. Metaputing may。
