A man recently cnnected with me n LinkedIn and sent me this nte: “Let me knw if yu ever need a writer.” I guess he’s a writer? I dn’t knw.

I’ve cme t think f it as the eight mst deadly wrds in selling neself because that phrase is the death f pprtunity.
Let’s cnsider the apprach. These peple are being standffish. Rather than selling themselves, they’re shifting the burden nt smene else t make the sale. If I need a writer, I shuld reach ut t them. If I need a stry, I shuld ask them fr an interview. If I need a custmer service slutin, I shuld ask them fr details. “Let me knw if yu ever need a ... ” sunds like an invitatin, but it’s really a shrug.
Imagine the situatin where I’d assign (分派工作) a stry t the writer wh used the nine wrds, “Let me knw if yu ever need a writer.” I wuld have needed a writer. Just any writer. Just anyne wh can string wrds tgether. I wuld have needed t be in a panic, s desperate fr smene t cntribute t ur magazine that I’d stpped thinking abut great writers r gd writers, r even serviceable writers and simply settled fr a writer. This isn’t a situatin that exists. The wrld is full f gd ptins! We are nt living in times f shrtage. If we need a jb dne, there are plenty f qualified peple t d it. Our questin is: Wh’s the best?
If yu want t create pprtunity fr yurself, answer that questin cnvincingly. The first thing t d is shw smene yu are the pprtunity. Hiring yu can help them. We als need t stp hiding behind urselves. Get ut in frnt! Sell yurself and yur amazing abilities. Understand smene’s prblem, and explain exactly why yu are the slutin. Avid saying “Let me knw if yu ever need a ... ” Instead, start with: “Let me explain hw I can help yu.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了错误的自我推销开场白会导致机会的丧失，并告知大家正确的推销自我的办法。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I’ve cme t think f it as the eight mst deadly wrds in selling neself because that phrase is the death f pprtunity. (我认为这是推销自己时最致命的八个词，因为这句话意味着机会的丧失。)”可知，作者认为“你若需要请联系我”是错误的自我推销的开场白，因为这句话意味着机会的丧失。故选D。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词后文“Rather than selling themselves, they’re shifting the burden nt smene else t make the sale. If I need a writer, I shuld reach ut t them. (他们不是在推销自己，而是在把负担转嫁给其他人来推销。如果我需要一位作家，我应该联系他们。)”和““Let me knw if yu ever need a ... ” sunds like an invitatin, but it’s really a shrug. (“如果你需要……请告诉我。”听起来像是邀请，但实际上是满不在乎的心态。)”可知，说这句话的人不是在推销自己，而是将推销重任转移到其他人身上。如果”我”需要撰稿人，“我”应该联系他们。“你若需要请联系我”听起来像邀请，实际上显示出的却是满不在乎的心态。所以standffish这里应该是“不友好、傲慢的”意思。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I wuld have needed t be in a panic, s desperate fr smene t cntribute t ur magazine that I’d stpped thinking abut great writers r gd writers, r even serviceable writers and simply settled fr a writer. (我需要陷入恐慌，如此迫切地需要有人为我们的杂志投稿，以至于我不再考虑伟大的作家或优秀的作家，甚至是有用的作家，而是简单地满足于一个作家。)”可知，作者使用虚拟句暗示他对使用“你若需要请联系我”这样推销话术的撰稿人的不感兴趣，不会雇佣他们。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“If yu want t create pprtunity fr yurself, answer that questin cnvincingly. The first thing t d is shw smene yu are the pprtunity. Hiring yu can help them. We als need t stp hiding behind urselves. Get ut in frnt! Sell yurself and yur amazing abilities. Understand smene’s prblem, and explain exactly why yu are the slutin. Avid saying “Let me knw if yu ever need a ... ” Instead, start with: “Let me explain hw I can help yu.”(如果你想为自己创造机会，那就令人信服地回答这个问题。你要做的第一件事就是向别人展示你就是机会。雇佣你可以帮助他们。我们也需要停止躲在自己身后。到前面去!推销你自己和你惊人的能力。理解别人的问题，并准确地解释为什么你是解决方案。不要说“如果你需要……请告诉我”。相反，你可以这样开始：“让我解释一下我能如何帮助你。”)”及全文可知，全文主要讲的是推销自我的办法。故选A。

If a pancake culd dream, it might lng fr legs s it culd jump ff yur breakfast plate in pursuit f a better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary fr smething as flat as a pancake t jump arund. A grup f scientists have designed a pancake-shaped rbt that can jump several times per secnd and higher than seven times its bdy height.

Fr inspiratin, the researchers lked t gall midge larvae (瘿蚊幼虫) that miraculusly thrw themselves acrss distances 30 times as lng as their lglike bdies. A gall midge larva bends its bdy and squeezes the liquid in its bdy t ne end, making it rigid (僵硬). The accumulatin f liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it saring (飙升). The rbt’s bdy desn’t resemble (像) that f a gall midge larva, but it jumps like ne. Its bdy is made f tw small plastic bags printed with electrdes; the frnt bag is filled with liquid and the back ne is filled with the same vlume f air. The rbt uses electricity t drive the flw f liquid, which causes the bdy t bend and generate frce with the grund, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the functin f an animal’s tail, helping the rbt keep a stable psitin.
While the rbt is currently restricted t Earth, it might be right at hme explring anther planet. If this is true, the researchers rbt might jump ver dusty rcks and large hles n the mn r Mars, ging where n pancake has gne befre.
27. What des the authr want t shw by mentining a pancake?
A. A pancake’s dream t have legs is unrealistic.
B. A rbt is capable f serving a gd pancake.
C. A pancake-shaped rbt can jump withut legs.
D. Research n pancakes advances ur understanding f rbts.

A. Hp’s aviding an bstacle.B. Hp’s mving arund by rlling.
C. Hp’s perfrming ne remarkable jump.D. Hp’s jumping high and far cntinuusly.
29. What inspiratin d the researchers draw frm gall midge larvae?
A. They are shaped like lgs.
B. They have tails t change psitins.
C. They bend their bdies and increase frce.
D. They are filled with liquid and have rigid bdies.

But legs aren’t necessary fr smething as flat as a pancake t jump arund.
