　　A cute white cat peeks out of a hole with only its head visible. A long-eared rabbit licks its lips while looking up at a carrot. These aren’t real scenes in a natural park. Instead, they’re paintings in tree holes on a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. Hundreds of people are visiting the artistic road to take photos of the new paintings.

　　“When I saw the trees by the roadside had lost all their leaves, and the ugly tree holes became obvious, I thought that if I could paint some interesting scenes in these holes they might add some color to the city,” said Wang Yue.

　　But Wang was worried that her watercolor paints could hurt the trees. When Wang got permission from city officials, she gathered her color palette, brushes and a stool and got to work.

　　Her first painting was of rosy clouds, but many passers-by couldn’t understand it. “Perhaps it was too abstract,” said Wang Yue. After that, she began to paint animals. Using her paintbrush she creatively placed a raccoon(浣熊, a squirrel and a cat in the holes.

　　As graduation draws near, those who haven’t landed a job yet may be desperate to find one. Perhaps some of the job offers they have received are below their skill and experience levels. Is it better to take these offers, or reject them and remain unemployed?

　　Recently, David Pedulla, a University of Texas sociologist, conducted a study about how taking a job below your skill level could affect your future employment.

　　In the study, Pedulla developed resumes for imaginary job applicants. The job seekers he created had a few things in common. They had a college degree, worked nearly two years at their first job, and about 4.5 years at their second job. What differed was their third job in the most recent year. They either had a full-time job that matched their skills, a part-time job below their skill levels, or were unemployed.

　　Then Pedulla submitted 2,420 resumes based on his imaginary job seekers, along with cover letters, to online ads for 1,210 real jobs. Each applicant had a real phone number that employers could contact if they were interested in talking with the applicant further.

　　The callback rates varied widely based on how the imaginary job seekers had spent their last year. The applicants who had full-time jobs the previous year were called back 10.4 percent of the time. Those whose most recent year of employment was in a job below their skill levels were only called back about 5 percent. Male applicants unemployed for a year were called back 4.2 percent of the time, while the figure is 7.5 percent for unemployed females.

　　However, Pedulla cautioned that the experiment only measured the initial interest of employers in his fictional job candidates, not whether the employers would hire them or what they would be paid based on their most recent job experiences.

　　28. The purpose of the first paragraph is ________ .

　　A. to lead in the topic

　　B. to present an argument

　　C. to shock the reader

　　D. to describe the present situation in job seeking

　　29. Which statement is NOT true about Pedulla’s experiment?

　　A. The applicants had some things in common at their first two jobs.

　　B. The applicants’ resumes and phone numbers are created by Pedulla.

　　C. The applicants’ most recent job experiences affected the callback rates.

　　D. Unemployed female applicants got a higher callback rate than males.

　　30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

　　A. The applicants with a high callback rate would surely be hired.

　　B. The applicants’ most recent job experiences would decide their salaries.

　　C. There are some limits about what lessons can be taken from the study.

　　D. It is better to take a job offer below one’s skill level than to reject it.

　　31. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?

　　A. Career B. Science C. Culture D. Education

　　A funny thing happened between China’s first female Nobel Prize winner, Tu Youyou, giving her acceptance speech in Sweden and that speech reaching her home country: Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a viral hit.

　　Guess which version is genuine? The one that matter-of-factly tells about the discovery of artemisinin(青蒿素, or the one with extreme literary style, complete with her father explaining the origin of her given name and poetic lines such as, “I like tranquility(宁静, tranquil as the leaves of sweet wormwood(蒿.”

　　Most readers were so touched by the literary version that they were left in tears. However, they just forgot that Tu is not a woman of letters, but one of science. It was totally made up by someone who obviously has great literary talent, but could not fathom the inner life of a scientist.

　　I don’t know who made up the Tu speech, or for what purpose. It does not strike me as funny. Fortunately, no mainstream media seemed to have been fooled. Yet the fake one has probably been shared more than the real one because it played to the Chinese stereotype(固定形式) of what such a speech should be.

　　China’s cyberspace(信息空间) is full of educational and uplifting quotes, and quite a lot of them are made up. There is a joke that says the United States’ spying network collected and examined all the Internet data in China and found that the Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.

　　32. The reason why many readers were moved to tears by the fake speech is that ________.

　　A. it was based on Tu’s real life

　　B. it was written in literary style

　　C. the readers had passions for science

　　D. the readers knew about the origin of Tu’s given name

　　33. What does the underlined word “letters” mean in the fourth paragraph?

　　A. Written messages addressed to a person or organization.

　　B. Characters in an alphabet that represent speech sounds.

　　C. Certificate or license.

　　D. Literary knowledge, ability, or learning

　　34. Why has the fake speech been shared more than the real one?

　　A. Because it was the Chinese stereotype.

　　B. Because many mainstream medias were fooled.

　　C. Because it was funny.

　　D. Because the writer understood the inner life of a scientist.

　　35. The purpose of the article is to _______________ .

　　A. prove that Chinese are addicted to fake news

　　B. prove that Chinese scientists have no literary talent

　　C. tell us there are a lot of fake news on the Internet

　　D. find out who made up the fake speech

　　The rules about how to talk, eat and sit, which are highly limited, are observed in most Western restaurants and homes. 36 Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table.
