填空题Mr. Mike Smith: It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown: It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more ,with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis: Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all? Mrs. Baker: My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater: Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things. Statements A. A 10% increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason. B. I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability. C. We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved. D. I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker's demands. E. I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison. F. I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs. G. We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

填空题Mary: Tile quest for success always begins with a target. As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra once said, "You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there." Too many people wander through life sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, "What am I doing with my life? And they don't know what they're doing because they lack goals. Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.John: My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron, N. C. , and set off for Baltimore to apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company. When asked what he wanted to do, he said, "Everything." Whenever he went to a new department, he looked for the guys who had been around forever. These were the people notices usually avoided, afraid that next to them they'd look like the beginners they were. Whatever your goals, plan to network with those who know more than you. Model your efforts On theirs, adjusting and improving as you go.Betty: The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don't is not usually talent but persistence. Many brilliant people give up. Who wants to run the risk of getting knocked down again and again? But highly successful people don't quit. It's often been said that they are just individuals who got up one more time than they felt down.Milke: Without a deep commitment it is difficult to pursue a dream. Great success requires risk—whether financial, social or physical. Always, emotional risk is involved. We can't play safe if we want to win in life.Hanson: Reread your list of goals now and then. If you decide one should be adjusted or replaced with a better one, make corrections. And when you have achieved your goal or made a big step towed it, celebrate. It can be anything you enjoy—to mark the moment and rekindle the vision. But it shouldn't end there. After a goal is reached many people ease up. That's why it's possible for this year's top sales agent to become next year's has been. If life is leaving you out in the cold, do something about it. Turn up the heat. Strive. It's worth it.

填空题Maguet de Icaza: Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.Austin Hill: Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.Ng Ede Phang: This will be the year that plain old text e-mail sits up and starts talking--and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e-mail doesn't tell me whether you're happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e-mail just cannot match.Murray Goldman: For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.Christine Karman: We'll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don't have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I'd go to California or Boston.　　　　　　　　　　StatementsA. Business travelers will set the trend of future computer market.B. Europe will catch up with America in the high-tech industry.C. Free software helps bring about digital equality.D. Voice e-mail adds a human touch to online communication.E. Compactness and multi-function will be a trend in the future market.F. Privacy needs special protection in the information age.G.

填空题 {{B}}Marsh Cassady:{{/B}} Expect to be the most-hated mother in school because I will not allow my child to have a TV in his/her own room. I will also not use the TV as an electronic" babysitter" as so many parents do. It's not my place to judge others, but I just don't feel it is right for a child to sit and stare for horns on end when he could be playing or participating in other activities that are much more appropriate and stimulating.{{B}}Benjamin Harrison:{{/B}} A lot of parents are not allowing their children any TV at all until they are much older. The reason is that the constant angle change of the camera produces passivity in children. They then expect life to be as "fast and change pace at the level that the TV does. There was once a cartoon where a child picks up a toy and says, "What does it do?" That's the problem with TV and young children. It steals their imaginations.{{B}}Robert MacNell:{{/B}} TV is not that bad, but it's not that good either. It has its pros and cons. The word here would be" Control". Got to learn how to have it in moderate amounts, and confirm the information that is gathered. I love TV because it improves my English speaking skills; it tells me different accents of different persons in different countries when speaking it. It makes me laugh sometimes. Discovery channel would be great.{{B}}David Naster:{{/B}} Basically, I feel freer without a television in my house. I just feel there is something more natural about life without the glowing screens, and when I go several months with no exposure to TV, it feels like I have stepped out of a fishbowl. Of course, to people who watch TV ,the perception may be just the opposite — I do not live in a fishbowl because I have exiled myself from the TV culture that so many share.{{B}}Adrienne Popper:{{/B}} I watch all types of sitcoms, news, talk shows, documentaries, etc.., in English, Spanish, and a little in German, with a notebook and a pen beside the set, taking notes OFF slang, idiomatic expressions, course words, everything teenagers ask me in the classroom (I mean in English classes ). Otherwise I wouldn't have access to these things. We don't have many natives at hand to help with them, books won't bring them, so TV is my everyday assistant.{{I}} Now match each of the persons ( 61. to 65) to the appropriate statement.

However, this eagerness can backfire if parents fail to educate their children with scientific approaches and concepts. Cases of failure in this regard survey indicates that due to lack of guidance from sound educational theory, many parents in this country are at a loss over what to do with. their children's education. Many put high test scores first in family education, and know little about the need to build all-round character in their children.{{B}} Fredrick:{{/B}} When our children's school life is weighed down with bulging schoolbags and psychological pressure, how can they lake initiative? They can be emancipated only when schools and society alike begin doing something about these pressures on them. Parents should change their ways of thinking. Educating children is a science as well as an art, and is doomed if the natural laws governing children's healthy physical and mental development are violated. That is why parents should know something about education and psychology, as well as the features, standards and trends of modern education. In this regard they need the help of educators.{{B}} Arusa:{{/B}} Public opinion plays a major role in the process of advancing character education. It provides an appropriate guide for students, parents and the public to reach a consensus on the concepts of education, and helps foster a good environment for securing public concern and support for and involvement in character education.

To this end the entire society is duty-bound.{{B}} Jonnason:{{/B}} The efforts to carry out character education call for comprehensive changes in orientation, functions, institution; content and approaches.

填空题 {{B}}Paula:{{/B}} The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future—that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do.{{B}} Mrs. John:{{/B}} The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly.{{B}} Mary:{{/B}} In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating.

填空题Point 1 We are all beginning another great journey. We aren't sure where this one will lead us either, but again I am certain this revolution will touch even more lives and take us all farther. The major changes coming will be in the way people communicate with each other. The benefits and problems arising from this upcoming communications revolution will be much greater than those brought about by the PC revolution. Point 2 There is never a reliable map for unexplored territory, but we can learn important lessons from the creation and evolution of the $120-billion personal-computer industry. The PC--its evolving hardware, business applications, on-line systems, Internet connections, electronic mail, multimedia titles, authoring tools, and game--the foundation for the next revolution. Point 3 This next journey, to the so-called information highway, is the topic of endless newspaper end magazine articles, television and radio broadcasts conferences and widespread speculation. There has been an unbelievable amount of interest in this subject during the last few years, both inside and outside the computer industry. The interest is not confined only to developed countries, and it goes well beyond the large numbers of personal-computer users. Point 4 Thousands of informed and uninformed people are now thinking publicly about the information highway. The amount of misunderstanding about the technology and its possible dangers surprises me. Some people think the highway is simply today's Internet or the delivery of 500 simultaneous chamels of television. Others hope or fear it will create computers as smart as human beings. Those developments will come, but they are not the highway. Point 5 The revolution in communications is just beginning. It will take place over several decades, and will be drives by new "applications" --new tools, often meeting currently unforeseen needs. During the next few years, major decisions will have to be made. It is crucial that a broad set of people--not just technologists or those who happen to be in the computer industry--participate in the debate about how this technology should be shaped, If that can be done, the highway will serve the purpose users want. Then it will gain broad acceptance and become a reality. Now match each of the points (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. This upcoming communications revolution has been widely paid attention to.B. We learn from the mistakes of others.C. We are beginning to do something which uncertain, yet outstanding.D. People of all walks of life should be active in this revolution.E. We should be good drawing the experience of others.F. No one would talk much in society if he only knew how often he misunderstanding.G. The most regrettable thing is misunderstanding

填空题Directions： Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today's single women．For questions 61 to 65，match the name of each scholar to one of the statements (A to G) given below．Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1． {{B}}Timothy Constance：{{/B}} What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career,but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive．So it doesn't seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high—achieving men． Grise Levison ： I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk． Marry Brown ： In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past．Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men．However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men"out there"who would be attracted to smart women．The problem was finding them． Donna Smith： I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children， but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals．I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order． Elizabedl Budy ： I think that people who have done at least sonle of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It's also true that they're likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more moneyin them． Note：there are two extra statements.． Statements [A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage． [B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage． [C] How to balance career with family is key to Success． [D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul． [E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn't a piece of cake． [F] Career Success ensures a solid marriage． [G] Social assistance is needed for today's single Women．
