单选题 Passage 5 The human being longs for a sense of being accomplished, of being able to do things, with his hand, with his mind, with his will. Each of us wants to feel he or she has the ability to do {{U}}(1) {{/U}} that is meaningful and that serves as a {{U}}(2) {{/U}} to our inherent abilities. It is easiest to see this {{U}}(3) {{/U}} the craftsman who lovingly shapes some cheap material into an object that may be either useful or beautiful or {{U}}(4) {{/U}}. You can see the carpenter or bricklayer stand aside and {{U}}(5) {{/U}} the product of his personal skill. But even {{U}}(6) {{/U}} there is no obvious end product that is {{U}}(7) {{/U}} attributable to one person's skill, researchers have found that employees find pride in accomplishment. Our own research in hospitals suggests that {{U}}(8) {{/U}} the housekeeping and laundry staffs take pride in the {{U}}(9) {{/U}} that in their own ways they are helping to cure sick people--and thus accomplishing a good deal. We're often misled by the complaints {{U}}(10) {{/U}} difficult work; deep {{U}}(11) {{/U}} most people regard their own capacity to conquer the tough job as the mark of their own unique {{U}}(12) {{/U}} Complaining is just {{U}}(13) {{/U}} of working. After all, how {{U}}(14) {{/U}} do you know who you are, except as you can demonstrate the ability of your {{U}}(15) {{/U}} to control you limbs and hands and words? You are, {{U}}(16) {{/U}} significant measure, what you can do. Some are deceived into thinking that people like to store up {{U}}(17) {{/U}}, to rest and save {{U}}(18) {{/U}} as much as possible. Just the {{U}}(19) {{/U}}. It is energy {{U}}(20) {{/U}} that is satisfying.

单选题{{B}}16-20{{/B}} The development of rapid transit rail lines in cities should parallel local economic development and blind construction of such lines should be avoided, a State Council conference said yesterday. The meeting, chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao, said the building of rapid-transit rail lines in cities should be carried out according to strict guidelines and management systems of such lines should be improved. It stressed that the amount of domestically made equipment used in such infrastructure projects needs to be increased. The meeting also deliberated on the draft amendments for laws governing the People's Bank of China and commercial banks. Also discussed were the draft law on the supervision and management of banking sector and draft regulations on the management of central food reserves. It was agreed at the meeting that the laws governing the People's Bank of China and commercial banks need to be amended so that the roles and responsibilities of the two are made clear.

单选题 The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司), global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR. Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U. S. leadership in public relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planning activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR. Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country, Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts (相对应的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Bur-son-Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country. Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Net-work). Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.
