At university, when I tld peple I was studying fr a histry degree, the respnse was almst always the same, "Yu want t be a teacher?" N, a jurnalist. "Oh. But yuˈre nt majring in cmmunicatins?"
In the days when a university educatin was a privilege, perhaps there wasnˈt the assumptin that a degree had t be a springbard directly int a career. Thse days are lng gne. Tday, a degree is all but a necessity fr the jb arket, ne that mre than halves yur chances f being unemplyed. Still, that alne is n guarantee f a jb—and yet weˈre paying mre and mre fr ne.
Given thse csts, mst f us want t maximize that investment—and that can lead t a plug-and-play type f apprach t higher educatin. Want t be a jurnalist? Study jurnalism, weˈre tld. A lawyer? Pursue pre-law. Nt ttally sure? G int STEM (Science, Technlgy, Engineer and Maths)—yu can becme an engineer r an IT expert. And n matter what yu d, frget the humanities, such as histry, philsphy and languages.
Itˈs true that the humanities cme with a higher risk f unemplyment, but the risk is slighter than yu wuld imagine. Fr yung peple in the US, the unemplyment rate f thse with humanities degrees is fur percent, just a little mre than that f engineering degree hlders. Lwer salaries may nt be caused by the degree itself either. The gender pay gap persists in the humanities, whse graduates are mre likely t be female. Is it any wnder then that language teachers tend t make less than engineers?
Accrding t LinkedInˈs research n the mst sught-after jb skills by emplyers fr 2019, the ability t cmmunicate and get alng with peple, t understand whatˈs n ther pepleˈs minds, and t d full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated. It ges withut saying that yu can be an excellent cmmunicatr and critical thinker withut a humanities degree. And any gd university educatin, nt just ne in English r psychlgy, shuld sharpen these abilities further. But few curses f study are quite as heavy n reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities—whether thatˈs by debating ther students in a seminar, writing a thesis paper r analyzing petry.
The whle questin f whether a student shuld chse STEM versus the humanities might be misguided t begin with. The headlines mst f us see dnˈt help. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be smething that they are nt nly gd at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a "useless" degree—like ne in humanities.
28. Why are peple paying mre and mre fr a degree?
A . Because peple need a degree t further their career.
B . Because university educatin is cnsidered a privilege.
C . Because a degree is viewed as a must fr landing a jb.
D . Because their interest can be develped in university.
29. The authr mentined a plug-and-play type f apprach t shw ____.
A . a tip fr chsing a majr
B . the imprtance f higher educatin
C . a prblem that exists amng STEM graduates
D . the reasn why peple verlk the humanities
30. Accrding t the authr, what is the benefit f majring in humanities?
A . A cmparatively high salary after graduatin.
B . Better chances f getting rid f gender prejudice.
C . A better cmmunicative skill than science students.
D . Mre expsure t the training f language and thinking.
31. What is the authrˈs attitude tward the pursuit f humanities?
A . Dubtful. B . Optimistic. C . Objective. D . Cncerned.

If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanityˈs later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate（有文字的）scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply canˈt. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ckˈs vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captainˈs recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield（盾）drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact（联系）between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A . Hw past events shuld be presented.
B . What humanity is cncerned abut.
C . Whether facts speak luder than wrds.
D . Why written language is reliable.
33. What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in paragraph 2?
A . His reprt was scientific. B . He represented the lcal peple.
C . He ruled ver Btany Bay. D . His recrd was ne-sided.
34. What des the underlined wrd "cnversatin" in paragraph 3 refer t?
A . Prblem. B . Histry. C . Vice. D . Sciety.
35. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely selected frm?
A . Hw Maps Tell Stries f the Wrld
B . A Shrt Histry f Australia
C . A Histry f the Wrld in 100 Objects
D . Hw Art Wrks Tell Stries

Many peple think that psitive thinking is mstly abut keeping neˈs head in the sand and ignring daily prblems, trying t lk ptimistic. In reality it has mre t d with the way an individual talks t himself. Self-talk is a cnstant stream f thughts f a persn, wh is ften unaware and uncertain f sme events, phenmena, peple, r even the persn himself. 36 Meanwhile, psitive thinking can help t stp negative self-talks and start t frm a psitive view n an issue. Peple wh regularly practise psitive thinking tend t slve prblems mre effectively. They are less expsed t stress caused by external factrs. They tend t believe in themselves and in what they d.
37 Peple wh think psitively demnstrate increased life spans（寿命）, lwer rates f depressin and anxiety, better physical and psychlgical health, reduced risks f death frm heart prblems. Psitive thinking als cntributes t neˈs ability t deal with prblems and hardships. 38 Fr example, researchers have fund that in the case f a crisis accmpanied by strng emtins, such as a natural disaster, psitive thinking can prvide a srt f buffer（缓冲作用）against depressin and anxiety. Resilient（适应性强的）peple wh think psitively tend t treat every prblem as a challenge, a chance fr imprvement f any kind, r as an pprtunity fr persnal grwth. Pessimists, n the cntrary, tend t perceive prblems as a surce f additinal stress. 39 .
In cnclusin, psitive thinking is a pwerful and effective tl fr dealing with hard times and imprving the quality f neˈs life.
