(2016·吉林省实验中学三模)Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers.Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen？For many children it means starting schoolwork very young.And going out with friends and other interests have to_take_a_second_place.It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day，even at the weekend，when most

of his or her friends are playing. Another problem is of course money.In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen.If this help cannot be given，it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes，transport to competitions，special equipment，etc.All can be expensive.

Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age.Some doctors agree that youny muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.Professional trainers，however，believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person.It is clear that very few people do reach the top，and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

(2016·郑州二模)Unemployment in Europe has recently hit record highs. Although Denmark has been protected from economic problems thanks to its low public debt, qualified professionals are still finding it tough to get a job.Danish marketing firm Reputation Copenhagen has come up with a way of helping academics get noticed—putting them on display in storefront windows.

Many highly trained professionals, ranging from former CEOs to lawyers and tax experts, are currently finding it increasingly difficult to find proper employment on the Danish job market.Some of them have been trying for years, leaving their resumes (简历) with dozens of companies, without ever hearing back from them, and are now at a point where they are willing to try anything, even putting themselves in display windows like goods, hoping to get noticed.

Alexander Peitersen, managing director of Reputation Copenhagen came up with the idea of using his company’s office as a storefront for the campaign (活动), as there are many businesses nearby that might be interested in the talents on display.So he set up a small desk, put up the sign “An available academic is sitting here” and asked the unemployed to just sit in the windows like goods. It seems like a pretty desperate measure, but at least it works.According to the agency’s website, three of the job seekers in their window display got a job in a day or two.

Peitersen says he came up with the idea after realizing human resource managers get hundreds of job applications every day, which look more or less the same, and that creative thinking is required in order to increase the chances of finding employment. Apart from companies interested in qualified job seekers, the campaign has also attracted the attention of both local and international media. 语篇解读 在失业率不断上升的欧洲，将求职者展示在商店的橱窗里以被人关注，可以帮助他们找到合适的工作。

B [推理判断题。从第三段可知，Peitersen将求职者展示在公司的橱窗里，这让有些人找到了工作，这种方式是很有创意的，因此选B项。最后一段的“creative thinking”也是线索提示。]

5．Some job seekers are willing to put themselves in the windows to display in that ________.

A．they think it is fashionable B．their parents ask them to

C．it’s increasingly difficult to get hired D．they find it’s interesting

C [细节理解题。第二段说，有些受过高级培训的专业人员多年来一直找不到工作，如今他们什么都愿意尝试，哪怕是像商品一样被摆放在商店的橱窗里，因此选C项，他们愿意这样做是因为他们很难找到工作。]
