王磊本是一个朝气蓬勃、积极向上(energetic)年轻人。大学毕业前，他四处求职。申请表填了一张又一张，但他迟迟得不到答复。最后一家跨国公司录用了他，他开始了自己的职业生涯。他十分珍惜这个工作机会。他非常明白他必须尽快融入周围环境，无论如何他得干出成绩来证明公司的选择是正确的。所以他工作很努力，虚心学习，每天下班回家都精疲力竭。但是出人意料的是不久他就辞去了那份体面高薪的工作。是什么刺激他离开的呢？原来一次偶然的机会，他迷上了电脑游戏，分散了他工作的注意力。白天他玩上十几个小时的游戏，根本就没心思工作；到了晚上他又听摇滚音乐来放松自己，噪音还干扰了社区的其他居民的睡眠。现在他变成了一个不务正业没有前途的人。

Passage 1
The person who can e a ship without some feeling of excitement must have very little imagination. Even the idea of leaving the solid land on which most of us were born and brought up, and going out on to the ever-moving waters must rou in us all some feelings of strangeness.
We may remember stories of terrible storms, with waves as high as mountains; and of people from ships which have sunk spending weeks in small boats hundreds of miles from land. But we have also heard of the joy of traveling over calm as under blue skies, and of the unforgettable excitement of coming, one fine morning, to a new and beautiful and which we have en only in pictures before. But ships are not, of cour, made chiefly for pleasure: their biggest u is in carrying goods from county to country. If ships did no exist, the British Government would be quite unable to feed the people in the British Isles. Airplanes are much too expensive, and there are not enough of them to feed even a small county like England. Trains cannot cross as, and even if they could, the amount of goods they can carry cannot be compared with the amount that ships can.
