填空题Shopping for clothes is not the same
1
for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something
2
. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows
3
he wants, and his objective is to find it and get it. Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant
4
their needs if they are not in a supermarket. If the shop has them
5
stock, the deal can be made in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone"s satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may
6
when the shop does not have what he wants. In that case, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with skill: "I know this is not the style you want, sir; but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you told me." Few men have patience with this kind of treatment, and the usual response is. "This is the right color and maybe the right size, but I should be
7
my time and yours by trying it on."
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the opposite way. She goes shopping when she wants to
8
on the streets. She is never fully aware what she wants, and she is only "window shopping". She is always open to persuasion, willing to try on a number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding
9
that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a
10
process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
A. experience B. begin C. definitely
D. in E. wasting F. what
G. off H. for I. towards
J. something K. when L. wander
M. walk N. tiresome O. when

{{B}}Patricia:{{/B}} I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a
group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of
them said they'd never do it again--I guess it wasn't quite like they thought it
was going to be--not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on
the train so we were completely exhausted but I think we had a great time. Next
year I'll see if I can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn
out.{{B}}Davis:{{/B}} I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four
weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the
route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well,
I'd have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for
me as I was the official translator, which was great as I'm normally a bit shy
of talking to people I don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated
me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was
terrific!{{B}}Jenison:{{/B}} Well, I guess I had a good time now
when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went
well but I think that from now on I'll probably choose to do something else. I
want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train
service! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and
they were great but it didn't do much for my French and
German.{{B}}Nigel:{{/B}} I think it's definitely the best way of
getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail
ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch hikes and he says that's the
only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I
knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would
still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the
better deal, especially as I could take the night train and save on hotel
bills.{{B}}Hawk:{{/B}} I've done it quite a few times now and
I'm used to the kind of problems that arise, like having to sleep in a park
because the train arrived too late for me to get a hostel bed, and trying to
keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the
tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do.
They're usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they
don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and
nod.{{I}} Now match each of the students (61 to 65) to the
appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra
statements.{{/I}}{{B}}Statements{{/B}}[A] The trip was good value for the
money.[B] The trip gave me a chance to socialize with people.[C] The

{{B}}Sherwood:{{/B}} We are constantly bombarded with the
message that we want more, need more, indeed deserve more from life.With
advertisers pushing everything from whiter teethto better homes, and
motivational speakers urging US to realize our full potential, we're essentially
being told we should strive for a better life and do whatever it takes to get
there. Sharon: She
credits her happiness and peace to a good attitude-and her faith."Because I
believe God directs my life, I'm positive.I feel good about my future; I feel
good about my past, "says the active church volunteer."We're very family
oriented.And I have a very close circle of friends.What else can one ask
for?" Jedwab: It makes
sense that older people tend to be satisfied.As they near retirement, many
look forward to stepping off the career ladder.They're more likely to be
thinking about ensuring they have enough financial security to enjoy life than
about making a profound change to that life.
Ingram: For the contented, doing
the things I want to do is i'mportant, as is a satisfying work life.I wondered
how difficult it is for the others to get to the point where they could say they
are contented.I worked hard and once persevered through bad jobs until I landed
a good one in the field now.But there is a fly in the ointment:I still think my
life could be even better.Though income doesn't necessarily affect levels of
happiness, whether it is making more of it is a key sector.
Grewar: In fact, I am beyond
dreaming.I am taking action to pursue my ideal life.After completing a business
course at Harvard Business School, which, I think,helped me focus on what I
truly wanted.I'm now looking at other avenues of advancement, including
completing a Master's of Business Administration to further enhance my skills

填空题Joyce Swenson:
Joyce is 36 years old and has worked for a publishing company in New York city for two years. Presently, she is working as a senior editor in charge of developmental prograMs. An opening for a vice-presidential position has just opened. Joyce is one of four people applying for the position. The other three applicants are men who have been at the company approximately as long as she has. The requirements for the job include a master"s degree and a minimum of ten years experience working as a manager in a publishing company. Historically, the company has hired from within the male. Joyce has applied for promotions before but she has been passed over each time by a male candidate. When Joyce joined the company, she was single. Now she is married and has two school-aged children and one preschooler. Joyce feels she has been discriminated against because of her sex. She feels motherhood is viewed by the company as a negative factor in job promotion.
Ardith Smiths:
Ardith is 39 years old. She is a single mother of three children. She works full time as a marketing manager for a fast-food chain. Ardith works 50 hours a week and carpools her 12-year-old daughter to gymnastics after work three days a week. She also makes sure that she is in the stands to watch her 16-year-old son wrestle or watch her 15-year-old daughter play soccer.
Ardith takes her role as mother and employee very seriously. She feels that her children couldn"t have to help out around the house because they are too busy with academics and sports activities. This same attitude carries over to the workplace. She hates to burden her secretary with extra work, so instead, she does a lot of it herself. She feels that she must be everything to everybody she comes in contact with. It is important to note that Ardith grew up in the 1950s. Her mother was always there for her. There was never a day that Ardith did not come home and find her mother waiting for her (sometimes with milk and cookies). Her mother was involved with the parents" organization at school and was her girl scout leader. Although the family was not well-off financed, Ardith always dressed well. Her mother was an excellent dressmaker.
Mary Sand:
Ardith"s friend Mary is 37 years old. She is also a single mother with three as she possibly can. She has limited her volunteering on committees. The one activity that she does get involved in is the annual book sale at school. Her children are responsible for many of the household chores. She has created a rotation system so that they all learn how to wash, iron, clean and cook.
Karia Brown:
Karia received her nursing degree while working part time as a clerk or typist, and at the same time raising her sons Jeff and Jason. Karia married when she was about 25 years old. Karia met her husband Paul at a friend" s party. It was sort of a fix up. Paul was much older than her, about 40 years old. Karia was anxious to get married. She had been dating on and off but never seriously. Her parents felt time was running out especially if Karia was to begin a family. Paul and Karia never really fought but a silence ran through their marriage. The children were what made Karia come to life. Paul was content to sit at home, watch TV, or work on his hobby carving wooden figures. The marriage seemed to just extinguish itself. Karia ran the house, worked, went to school, and raised her two sons.
Jane Cresswell:
Jane, a career woman, does an afternoon job so she has to get the housework and shopping done in the morning. One morning her son, Jimmy, who is only two, threw the radio out of the window, the dog made a mess on the carpet, and her husband, Brian, was snoring on the sofa, not lifting a finger to help her. She thinks she has had enough of the life.
Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
A. She likes to do everything by herself.
B. She finds her life unbearable.
C. She believes the children should help out with the house chores.
D. She feels that she is a victim of the sex discrimination.
E. It"s never too old to learn for her.
F. Her marriage life is not satisfying.
G. She had an idea family.
填空题Directions: Read the following article in
which five people talk about the future. For Questions 61 to 65, match the name
of each speaker (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark
your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Paula: 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.
Mrs. John: 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. Mary: 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 it is stimulated. This
means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor
Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat
rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of
gelatin. Judy: In the future
our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play
an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses
a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his
text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive
questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect
you if you act in a certain way.
Carrie: In the future, computers will change
the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change
their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart
conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are
prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on
healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to
keep fit.
Statements A. You build your
own future. B. Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to
keep fit. C. Computer will be an effective tool for
doctors. D. Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or
overweight. E. Our appetite will be well controlled by
drugs. F. People will be able to visit doctors more
frequently. G. Our brain waves may be used to check out our
work performance.
填空题Erum Nadeem:
Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding-only happiness.
Sander Tideman:
I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of "gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale.
Paul Aboh:
Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys.
Mansoor Malik
Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of wellbeing. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile.
Peter Fischer
At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are often hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right.
Statements
A. A rich person is not necessarily happy.
B. Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness.
C. Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis.
D. We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness.
E. Happiness lies in giving instead of taking.
F. The environment is a source of happiness.
G. Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.
填空题Lu Xi Ming
填空题Workaholism Ⅰ. Most workers spend eight or nine hours on the job. They work because it's unavoidable. They need to make enough money for necessities: food, rent, clothing, transportation, tuition, and so on. They spend about one-third of their lives at work, but they hate it. They complain and count the minutes until quitting time each day —or the days until their next vacation. Ⅱ. By contrast, there are some people who actually enjoy work —in fact, they love to work. They spend many extra hours on the job each week and often take work home with them. These workaholics are as addicted to their jobs as other people are to drugs or alcohol. Ⅲ. In some urban centers, workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual; they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington, D.C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don't do this because they have to; they do it because they want to. Hundreds of workaholics in New York City tried to go to work even in the famous blackout of 1977. There was no electricity—no air conditioning, elevators, or lights—but many people went to their offices, anyway. They sat impatiently on the steps outside their office buildings and did paperwork or had business meetings. Ⅳ. Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because the workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don't know how to relax; that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing. This inability to rest may cause health problems, such as heart attacks. In addition, typical workaholics don't pay much attention to their families. They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce. Ⅴ. Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their jobs provide them with a challenge; this keeps them busy and creative. Other people retire from work at age sixty-five, but workaholics usually prefer not to quit. They are still enthusiastic about work—and life—in their eighties and nineties. Now match each paragraph (16 to 20) to the appropriate topic. Note: there are two extra topics. Topics[A] The characteristics of workaholics.[B] Reasons that people enjoy work.[C] Feelings of "normal" workers about their jobs.[D] ProbIems of Workaholism.[E] The advantages of Workaholism.[F] Typical workaholics.[G] Examples of Workaholism in big cities.

Alfred Benedetti: At the age 101, I participated in the
javelin, shot put and basketball free-throw events in the Senior Olympics from
age 90 and went bowling twice a week. I attributed my health and longevity to
keeping myself involved with some demanding activities, whether it is our
physical strength or our mental energy that is required in these activities. And
I stayed busy with reading, writing, and working with his hands.Angelina
Strandel: At the age 101, I would like to recommend, "What we
always need is a state of peace in our minds". No one can really a life in such
a peaceful way that nothing annoying, depressing or even hurting happens in our
life, but we can still manage to get a peaceful mind during the process.
Although I dealt with much turmoil in my life, I did not let the stress get to
me. My sister lived to age 100.Mikihil Jaisinghani: I always
watch my calories and keep away from food rich in fat. Maybe it's because I am
not a person who is really into eating, or it is because the negative effects of
such foods make them not so delicious for me, anyway, I never allow myself for
those kinds of food. Plenty of vegetables and fruits make me feel good, and I am
always energetic even at my age now.Herbert Kirk: I
graduated at age 97 from Montana State University with a bachelor's degree in
art. Look, here is my senior-thesis sculpture project. I attributed my longevity
to keeping on learning something new. Especially when we retire from our job,
it's of great importance that we learn something new on a yearly basis. This can
really do a lot to prevent us from aging too quickly.John Leaver:
When I was 95, I won two gold medals (in 800-meter and five-kilometer
races) and one silver medal (in a 200-meter race) at an international seniors'
track meet in Helsinki, Finland. I love competing with others in sports.
Although it is not a universally accepted idea that we should continue to
participate in competitive sports when we reach a certain age, this surly helped
me a lot. I like to challenge others, as well as myself. Now
match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there
are two extra statements.A. I keep the negative feeling away and maintain a
calm mind.B. I always interact with others, and never allow myself to be
alone for a long period.C. I strictly forbid myself from eating unhealthy
foods.D. I benefit a lot from my marriage and my good relationship with my
husband keeps me always in good mood.E. I take part in competitive sports to
keep my health.F. I continue to learn new stuff and enjoy doing so.G. I
keep myself busy with sports as well as my work.

填空题Peter: My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the "goals" would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it.Simon: The playground was quite small. The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walls. It was more like a prison yard--on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass.Alan: I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince's Street Primary and the room in which I received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers. My amazement at seeing these items, which are normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life.Nick: I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground--a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local school children. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up, more than in the rest of the little town's correct and neat suburbia, where my house was.Julie: Until I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small playground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sitting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked swinging. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] I enjoyed the feeling of flying.[B] I never went straight home from school.[C] I developed sporting skills there.[D] My play area was just outside my classroom.[E] I enjoyed both being alone and with friends.[F] I played in a place dangerous in others' eyes.[G] There were some playground equipment around my play area.

{{B}}Paragraph 1:{{/B}} Japanese managers believe
that change and initiative within an organization should come from those closest
to the problem. So they elicit change from below. Top-level Japanese managers
see their task as creating an atmosphere in which subordinates are motivated to
seek better solutions.{{B}} Paragraph 2:{{/B}}
Japanese managers do not view themselves as having all the answers. When a
subordinate brings in a proposal, the manager neither accepts nor rejects it.
Rather, he tactfully, politely asks questions, makes suggestions, and provides
encouragement.{{B}} Paragraph 3:{{/B}} In the
Japanese system, junior(middle) managers are initiators who perceive problems
and formulate tentative solutions in coordination with others; they are not
functional specialists who carry out their boss's directives. Because so much
emphasis is placed on coordination and integration, solutions to problems evolve
more slowly, but they are known and understood by all those who have been a part
of the solution generation process. Horizontal communication is stressed as
essential to the coordination of problem-solving efforts.{{B}}
Paragraph 4:{{/B}} The Japanese are less inclined to think
in terms of absolutes, that is, the solution (which is right) versus the
alternatives (which are wrong). Rather, they recognize a range of alternatives,
several of which might work and all of which possess advantages and
disadvantages. When a group makes a decision, all members become committed to
the chosen solution. From a Japanese perspective, that commitment, and the
ensuing dedication toward working to make the solution successful, is probably
more important than the objective quality of the decision. The Japanese have an
interesting concept of consensus. Those who consent to a decision are not
necessarily endorsing it. Rather, consent means that each person is satisfied
that his point of view has been fairly heard, and although he or she may not
wholly agree that the decision is the best one ,he or she is willing to go along
with it and even support it.{{B}} Paragraph 5:{{/B}}
Japanese managers have a kind of paternalistic attitude toward their
employees. Traditionally, Japanese organizations have offered their workers
housing, extensive recreational facilities, and life- time employment. The
Japanese believe that it is impossible to divorce a worker's personal and
professional lives. Good managers express concern for workers as persons with
homes and families as well as for the quality of products the workers produce.
Managers work alongside their subordinates, counsel them regarding their
personal lives, and encourage much peer interaction.{{I}} Now

填空题Joho Daly: Watching TV occupies our time to communicate with our families. TV provides a ready means of relaxation for people who spend their days doing routine and busy jobs. As soon as TV enters into our home, most of our free time is controlled by it. What is more, the one-eyed monster requires absolute silence and attention. If any member dares to open his mouth, the others order him to shut up immediately. Therefore we communicate less with our family members. John Courtis: Thanks to hardworking TV workers, we enjoy more TV channels and more colorful TV programs. But a question has arisen: it is difficult for families to choose a common channel because they have different interests. It is inevitable to give rise to quarrel among them. Ian Wright: For instance, a person who watches too many idealized programs may become unrealistic. In addition, unhealthy programs which contain obscene and violent contents may cause people's curiosity. John Wallace: Children can learn a lot of thing by watching TV rather than learning negative things. There are many great programs in TV show, such as science and international. When I was a kid, I had always watched science TV show, especially space. It was easiest to learn what I want by watching TV. Moreover, my friend's kid always watches international program, which shows different countries' kids to speak one word in their own languages. As a result he can say "good morning" with seven different languages. Watching TV enables to learn a lot of things. In other hand, there are many TV shows which are negative effect on children to watch TV. However, parents are able to manipulate TV show by modern technology. Consequently, kids are unable to watch the TV shows that have bad effect on them. John Barnes: TV program provides us much topic to talk within family. For example, when I was kid, before we ate dinner, I always watched TV. Then, we could talk about what I had watched before dinner. Everyone in my house talked one topic. Sometimes we talked about animal. Other day we talked not only nature, but also my parents' wedding through watching TV. As a result, watching TV gave us many topics in our family. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.
