YOU’RE LOOKING TOO FAR AFIELD、There are potentially excellent mentors right in front of you, but you might not be seeing them.Maybe it’s because you’re thinking of a mentor as someone remote from you in age and experience, or maybe it’s because you haven’t considered talking about your career with someone who knows you personally.
But it’s possible you’ve got the right mentor for the right moment among your own friends and family.Someone who knows you outside of a work environment may actually be able to offer insights based on your personality and a broad perspective of your current life situation.Those things might escape a mentor who knows you less well.
YOU’RE ASKING FOR MORE THAN YOU NEED、I recently met with an award-winning designer who was applying for a higher position with her longtime employer.She mentioned she felt overwhelmed by the advice she was getting from a mentor.Curious but confused, I asked what kind of help she was asking for.Turns out she’d engaged the mentor to help her with something she didn’t need at all.Preparing answers to the most global interview questions-stuff like, “How would your best friend describe you?” I reminded her that the firm was already familiar with her and her work and to tighten her focus on that-both with her mentor and in her interview.
Life is made up of moments.When you’re seeking a mentor, think in terms of what you need for this moment.Write a short, focused list of goals for the ideal mentor-ship you need right now.For example, focus on exactly what should be in your portfolio, or how to frame your most significant accomplishments on a job interview.Your mentor should help you keep this focus and practice active listening by summarizing what you’re saying, asking questions, and not overriding or interrupting.

Passage 3
Concerns about greenhouse gases and pollution are driving an industry-wide change in the way cars are powered.Regulations on fuel economy and CO2 emissions are forcing carmakers to make engines more efficient.By 2025, 25% of cars sold will have electric engines, up from 5% today.But most of those will be hybrids, and 95% of cars will still rely on fossil fuels for at least part of their power.That means automakers will need to make internal combustion engines more efficient to comply with new standards.
The development of alternative power sources such as fuel cells will add to overall efficiency, but only if people can afford them.The Japanese government has set a target price of ¥2.2 million-around US $18,000-forfuel-cell vehicles by 2025.While they would still be a small niche in global sales, that target price would allow them to become competitive with popular hybrids.
162、According to the passage, what is the main reason for carmakers to make engines more efficient?( )
A、Internal combustion engines are not efficient enough.
B、The tightened regulations on fuel and greenhouse gas emission.
C、In the future, cars will use electric engines.
D、The greenhouse gases and pollution start to make people sick.
163、According to the passage, which of the following is INCORRECT?( )
A、Internal combustion engines are not efficient enough to meet the new standards.
B、It will be expensive if the engine is powered by fuel cells.
C、 of cars will still rely on fossil fuels by 2025、
D、The greenhouse gases and pollution will be reduced if we use hybrid engines.
164、From paragraph two, we can infer that ( ).
A、Although fuel-cell vehicles do not cover much market share, the price set by Japanese government makes them competitive.
B、The tightened regulations on fuel made fuel-cell vehicles cheaper.
C、In the future, cars that use electric engines will be more competitive with popular hybrids.
D、Japanese government is paying a lot to reduce the cost of fuel-cell vehicles.

Passage 4
Speak up! Put yourself out there! American society generally places high value on being friendly and speaking freely.That can worry introverts.Introverts are people who tend to be more private and favor individual activities over social ones.Susan Cain, and introvert herself, is an expert on the subject.She has become the voice of these quiet people.
In her new book, “Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts.” Cain takes her hopeful message about introverts to teenagers.She says her goal is to help parents and teachers understand their introvert teens and develop their secret power.Introverted children are not necessarily shy.In fact, they can have excellent social skills.They just tend to enjoy being alone, doing quieter things or being with just one friend at a time.Cain says that is how introverts get their energy.
Their human “batteries” are actually weakened by loud, busy activities.“ If you imagine an introvert going to a party where they’re having a good time, at the end of two hours, you start to wish you were home in your pajamas because your battery is running low.”“Whereas for extroverts in the exact same situation, their batteries are getting recharged.So they want more time at the party.This has everything to do with how our brains are wired; how our nervous systems react to stimulation.”In other words, introverts have a low threshold for dopamine, so they are easily overwhelmed.In contrast, extroverts have a very high threshold so can keep going for longer.Cain says the idea that extroverts are more successful than introverts is widespread but wrong.” If you look around, you see introverts contributing to this culture in all kinds of ways, people like Bill Gates and J.K Rowling and Dr.Seuss-any number of people you could name who are introverts.” Cain says these people add much to society because of their quiet temperament.
But somehow this idea is not widely accepted.The author says American society pushes everyone to be gregarious even if it is not natural for them.Cain says there are more introverts than people think.“You’re talking about 1 in every 2 or 3 people.That’s in the U.S.But then there are other studies that look comparatively at the world and find that the U.S.is on the more extrovert side of the spectrum.So there are probably more introverts in other countries.” Cain spoke with hundreds of teens, parents and teachers to explore introversion among teens.One of her important findings is that introverts can be effective leaders.
