Dane has started the next act in his life.

A fall from a four-storey building in 2010 left him severely injured and unable to walk， let alone continue to act. That cost him his job and he ended up living in his truck. He began using drugs to manage his pain and for a while it became a way of life.

But the former University of Victoria theatre student desperately wanted to flip the script. “I had an epiphany（頓悟），” he recalled. “What am I doing being involved in this lifestyle？” he asked himself.

The first step was getting shelter， which he found through the Lookout Emergency Aid Society. “They gave me an opportunity to start again. Living at the Lookout has given me self-esteem，” he said. “Its given me a new perspective.”

With a roof over his head， Dane also found an opportunity to revisit one of his real passions： acting.

Dane was a veteran of Back Alley Theatre whod also attended Vancouvers William Davis Centre for Actors Study and has been in over 15 movies as an extra， including several episodes of X-Files. He first performed on stage in about 2000.

His stage comeback began when the manager of his building encouraged him to join a local community theatre group made up of actors.

From Oct. 28 to 30， the group is performing For A Muse of Fire， presented by Creativa International， as part of the 2016 Heart of the City Festival.

Getting back on stage has helped Dane continue his transformation.

“Its given me inspiration to try to take my foot and place it in the normal path of productive human experience again rather than live with the pain and the hurt， its given me a chance to open up and heal. I feel great.”

25. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “flip the script” in Paragraph 3？

A. Come back to stage.

B. Change the situation.

C. Write down his story.

D. Bring an end to his pain.

26. What do we know about the Lookout Emergency Aid Society？

A. It is an organization offering shelters for those in need.

B. It is a society offering advice when emergency occurs.

C. It is a community offering medical care for the disabled.

D. It is a company providing an opportunity to start business.

27.How many years had Dane been acting before he became disabled？

A. 10 years or so.

B. At least 12 years.

C. More than 14 years.

D.17 years or more.

28. What is Danes epiphany according to the passage？

A. Making back to stage makes him happier.

B.Living with pains and hurt makes him stronger.

C. Being involved in the same lifestyle is comfortable.

D. Trying to live a productive life after disasters is important.

C

I was nine when I arrived at the Childrens Home in Nashua， New Hampshire， in 1965. I failed third grade that year， barely made it through a second time， and had merely passed through fourth grade by the time I reached Pauline Jambards fifth-grade class at Charlotte Avenue Elementary School.

I was convinced I wasnt “smart” like the other kids， and I hoped I could make it through fifth grade. Ms. Jambard took an instant liking to me. Of all the subjects in school， reading was my favorite. She would tell me， “Terry， you keep reading. If you can understand what youre reading， youll be smarter than most kids.” After I read all the books in our program， I started reading the classrooms set of Encyclopaedia Britannica. I couldnt find enough to read， and I started to really like school.

That December， the Childrens Home threw a Christmas party for family and community members. My brother and I had no family to invite. I still remember looking up and seeing Ms. Jambard walk through the front doors of the Childrens Home and realizing she was there on behalf of my parent. That was the best Christmas of my life.

We have stayed in touch， and I call Pauline at least once a year. Because of the confidence she instilled in me， I went on to have a successful career in engineering and law enforcement. I dont know if Pauline realizes how much she helped me， but Ill never forget her kindness and faith in me. I treat her as my family member.

“If they hated me they didnt talk to me about it，” says a young German manager at a media firm in Frankfurt. Still， he says it was noticeable that when an employee 20 years older than him thanked him for buying lunch he had to swallow twice before adding the word “boss”.

Older workers sometimes envy being managed by a younger colleague. Precocious youngsters， too， can feel awkward about bossing their elders around. But in Germany a shortage of skilled workers means that such situations are becoming ever more common.

The countrys population is projected to shrink. As more Germans retire， fewer youngsters are entering the work-force to replace them. As a share of the working population the number of 15-to-24-year-olds has fallen by ten percent-age points since the 1980s， says the German Federal Employment Agency. Firms competing to hire young talent have to promote them earlier as a result. A paper by professors at the University of Cambridge and WHU， a German businessschool， to be published in the Journal of Organizational Behaviour， suggests this could be a problem.

As in many countries， German work-places are legally obliged to overlook age when deciding whom to promote. Yet according to Jochen Menges， one of the authors， when an ordinary worker leap-frogs a more experienced one it can leave the latter with feelings of “anger， fear and disgust”. People tend to judge their own standing by the success of their peers， and to see failure in being bossed about by someone younger. The relationship between feelings of anxiety and the age of the boss is clear， according to Mr Menges. A manager who is younger by one year is somewhat unsettling； a gap of 20 years is far more discouraging.

German firms certainly should not return to a system in which age equals to rank. But young people need to be sensitive about managing upwards. And older workers should be encouraged to see the bright side of learning new skills. Daimler， a big German carfirm， says it promotes age-mixed teams， so that knowledge can be transferred between generations. It also supports young managers by asking retired employees to provide temporary support.

32.What is the function of a young German managers remark in Paragraph 1？

A. To introduce the topic.

B. To state a kind of fact.

C. To attract readers interest.

D. To describe his own idea.

33.Why are some precocious youngsters bossing their elders around in Germany？

A. Precocious youngsters are all skilled workers.

B. Such situations are becoming more common.

C. Fewer youngsters would like to do hard work.

D. Companies compete fiercely to hire young talent.

34. Which of the following people might regard himself as a failure？

A. When he has to decide whom to promote.

B. When he leap-frogs a more experienced worker.

C. When he is being bossed about by someone younger.

D. When he experiences feelings of anger， fear and disgust.

35. What can we learn from the passage？

A. Qualified workers should be promoted to boss.

B. Older workers should support younger managers.

C. Older workers are no better than younger colleagues.

D. You are never too old to learn， or too young to manage.

Choosing Good Gifts

Many of us know that familiar feeling of eagerly tearing open a carefully wrapped gift box， only to find a gift you dont like. 36 The answer is very different， depending on whether you ask the gift giver or receiver.

A study published this month in Current Directions in Psychological Science highlights the disconnect between the gifts we actually want and the ones we want to give. 37

Psychologists have long known that we often struggle to predict other peoples preferences， and according to study co-author Elanor Williams， a marketing professor at Indiana University Bloomington， our egocentricity（自我，自私） may be to blame.

As gift givers， we tend to focus on the gift exchange itself， eagerly expecting the warm feeling we get when we see the other persons face light up with joy on opening our present. 38

Is it useful？ Is it wanted？ Can it be re-gifted？

39 It can help us get along well with others and strengthen social bonds. There is also a more practical reason to up our gift-giving game. In every holiday season， we spend billions of dollars on presents.

Williams says the best strategy may be to simply ask people what they want. “Theres a misunderstanding that the best-received gifts are the ones that are unexpected， but thats just not true. 40 If were doing that，” he says， “We might as well get it right.”

A. But what makes a good gift？

B. But why should we send nice gifts to others？

C. By contrast， gift receivers focus more on the gift itself.

D. As Williams points out， gift giving plays an important social role.

E. It offers some ideas that may come in handy this holiday shopping season.

F. To be honest， anyone has an experience of being given a gift that is not welcome.

G. The best-received gifts are the ones that best match what the receiver actually desires.
