单选题Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (31) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child (32) he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow (33) else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables, in the child's hearing he is (34) to copy this procedure. Take it (35) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good (36) to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as (37) as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (38) meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not (39) him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under (40) circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗) or forced to eat.

单选题Humans are unique in the extent to which they can reflect on themselves and others. Humans are able to (21) , to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless, (22) world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it (23) to human behavior we infer meaning and (24) to make the behavior understandable. (25) all this means is that people develop "quasi theories" of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a(an) (26) , scientific manner. When doing so, people believe they know (27) humans do the things they do. Let's consider an example. In the United States people have been (28) with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims. But it (29) bothers us that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen? We develop quasi theories. We (30) concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we (31) it: our criminal justice system is (32) ; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken (33) the influence of liberal ideas; too many people are (34) drugs. These explanations suggest possible solutions. (35) the courts; put more people in jail as examples to other lawbreaker. There is now hope that the problem of crime can be solved if only we (36) these solutions. Again, the world is no longer meaningless nor (37) so threatening.

单选题 How many really suffer as a result of labor market problems? This is one of the most critical yet contentious social policy questions. In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship. Unemployment does not have the same dire consequences today as it did in the 1930s, when most of the unemployed were primary bread winners, when income and earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market. Increasing affluence, the rise of families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the over-whelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family responsibilities which keep them out of the labor force, so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate indicator of labor market pathologies. Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of labor-market-related hardship. The unemployment counts exclude the millions of fully employed workers whose wages are so low that their families remain in poverty. Low wages and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently interact to undermine the capacity for self-support. Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in any month really suffer. For every person counted in the monthly unemployment tallies, there is another working part-time because of the inability to find full-time work, or else outside the labor force but wanting a job. Finally, income transfers in our country have always focused on the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so that the dramatic expansion of cash and inkind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in the labor market are adequately protected. As a result of such contradictory evidence, it is uncertain whether those suffering seriously as a result of thousands or the tens of millions, and, hence, whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered by job creation and economic stimulus. There is only one area of agreement in this debate—that the existing poverty, employment, and earnings statistics are inadequate for one their primary applications, measuring the consequences of labor market problems.

单选题To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 5 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 9 according to what he is 10 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn"t 11 that he will indeed be able to act 12 on the stage, for there are very important 13 between the teacher"s work and the actor"s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 14 words each time he plays a certain part; 15 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 16 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 17 on the stage. A good teacher 18 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 19 ; they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don"t understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 20 it as he goes along.

And she didn't expect to get much help during her employer's 26 staff meeting last November—just the usual speeches on medical 27 . Instead, she got a big dose of something new: Happiness coaching. Keynote speaker Shawn Achor—a former Harvard University researcher and former co-teacher of one of the university's most popular courses, Positive Psychology—extolled (激励) 90 listening employees to 28 off dark moods at work by practicing such happiness—inducing 29 as meditation or expressing gratitude. To her surprise, Dr. Rivera says, she drove home filled with thoughts about cheering up, 'if I 30 a negative attitude and complain all the time, whoever is working with me is going to feel the same way.'
