填空题 {{B}}Marian:{{/B}} I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She's found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home. {{B}}Catherine: {{/B}} I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way. {{B}}Roger: {{/B}} A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn't mean you're excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks! {{B}}Briggs: {{/B}} I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there. {{B}}Bill: {{/B}}You're forgetting the most important point—it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dross code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code—start your own business.{{I}} Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements{{/I}}. {{B}}Statements{{/B}} [A] We shall not be moved. [B] Money means freedom. [C] Photos taking are pleasant. [D] There are people who are so careless about dressing. [E] Action speaks louder than words. [F] It is our society that must be blamed. [G] You should wear appropriately where you are.

填空题Myra Stafford : Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPad. "My daughter gave it to me. She"s been long waiting for me to use it." Ms. Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device. "I am more confident today than I was before. Today I have more hands-on. Working with young people makes it wonderful because that"s all they know and they didn"t make me feel that I was old or dumb." Menay Mccague : Meridy McCague is the director of the 50 Plus Center. "As people are aging, their worlds get a little smaller. Some of them can no longer drive, some of them don"t get out to make long trips to see their relatives. And it brings them back out into Facebook, into Skype and just to be able to communicate. They can do everything from ordering things from Amazon now, to ordering groceries or meals." Kerry Hannon : Kerry Harmon is a career and retirement expert. "You have a huge growing population over 60 that"s just expanding, and offers an incredible opportunity to buy online, to research products that they want to buy, maybe not online, but they research them online. About a third of the Internet users in general are over 50. As seniors get more excited about using the technology, they"re going into the market place and buying it. So that"s a boom for economy fight there." Madison Lain is a 17-year-old teacher for the technology workshop. "I think I"ve learned a lot on how to connect with people and work with them because I"m usually a shy person so I"m not good at connecting with others besides my family and friends. So I"ve learned to be more outgoing." Satire Windley : Safire Windley is head of the Youth and Teen Center that operates the program.

填空题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 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. Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance. F. People will be able to visit doctors more frequently. G. Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.

填空题Linda My husband weighed 275 pounds. He used to skip breakfast, and he didn"t eat all that much for dinner. So I once wondered why he was getting so big. Then I found out he was stopping to buy a dozen chocolate-covered doughnuts each morning. And you know how I found out? He was eating them while driving, so he wouldn"t have to share them at work. While chasing one that roiled across the front seat, he ran into a telephone pole. Emily Two years ago, I knew my husband"s health was at risk because of all the weight he had picked up since we"d been married. But he wasn"t doing anything about it. Then I went to a doctor"s office and I followed his advice and started talking about food to my husband-what was good, what was bad-as if it was a new discovery. I didn"t lecture my husband about the evils of being overweight, didn"t try to threaten him by saying if he didn"t lose weight his blood pressure could shoot sky-high and he might have a heart attack. Instead, I talked about how well he"d look in new clothes, how he" d probably do better on the job (he was a salesman), to ask questions. After a few months, he"d lost 20 pounds. John I once kept a list of everything I ate one week, just to show my wife was wrong about where I was picking up extra pounds. When I studied my list, I wondered how I found time to do any work, I was eating so much. There"s nothing like seeing it in black and white to prove you"re wrong. Jane Scott When I found my husband had weight problem, I was determined to take some measures. I made sure I needed something from the store three mornings a week, and then I told my husband I didn"t want to walk there alone-it was about a quarter of a mile each way-and I"d always insist on walking. He breathed hard at first, but gradually got used to it, and we started making a circle around the neighborhood at night, too, with the dog. That was three years ago, and now I can"t keep him still. The walking got him used to using his body again, and he was happy to find it still worked pretty well. Ted Men tend to think less about the costs of excess pounds than women do. Men often seem blind to the possibility that a beer belly is causing them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their careers and killing them before their time. Also, many men feel self-conscious going to a diet center-especially if most of the group is female. Diets are perceived to be of women"s concern, or an admission of weakness. There are even men who would rather blow up like a blimp before they admit to other men-or themselves-that they need to lose weight. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. The heavier, the merrier. B. Some form of physical exercise has to play a part in men"s weight-loss program. C. Attention should be paid to eating patterns. D. Men"s attitudes are quite different from women"s. E. Gaining weight has nothing to do with health. F. Your educational role sometimes has to be more subtle. G. Facts are indisputable.

填空题Marvin Burnham We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the things you can make from oil! If we don't start thinking ways to face the problem, it will be too late.Catherine Woodstock Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any source of energy. We can do research on solar energy, wind power, wave power, tidal power, hydroelectric schemes etc; otherwise, our fossil fuels will run out, and we'll all freeze or starve to death. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.Michael Parkhurst In the past, we consumed too much energy. If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless everyone realize the seriousness of energy crisis and stop wasting, our resources will not support us for long.Charles Wicks I don't agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we can still rely on the fossil fuels—oil, coal and gas. Researches are going on and new sources of energy will be found in the future. So there is nothing to worry about.Jennifer Hughes Some people think nuclear power is away to solve the problem, but think of the potential danger of it. There is no perfect machine. I mean, why do aeroplanes crash? Machines fail. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable—sooner or later. Huge areas would be evacuated, and they could remain contaminated with radioactivity for years. If it happened in your area, you wouldn't get a penny in compensation. No insurance company covers nuclear risks. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations, too. statementsA. We should take steps to solve the problem.B. Saving the present resources is the most important thing.C. Nuclear power is an ideal alternative.D. We should develop alternative sources of power.E. I'm optimistic about the future of energy.F. Nuclear power is not secure.G. Energy crisis is inevitable.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule(1 to5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. Zhao: I should say qualifications are very important nowadays. You'll never get a good job if you don' t have any qualifications. As I can see it, qualifications are a good proof that you have the necessary qualities and skills to work in a particular profession. If you want to get a job, you must have some kind of qualifications.Qian: I agree that qualifications are important nowadays. But qualifications are certainly no guarantee of success. The thing is that with a growing number of people looking for a smaller and smaller number of jobs a person without any qualifications stands very little chance. I think the kind of qualification people want is changing, though. They seem to want something far more related to the kind of job they want to do. The number of people who want to do arts degree at university is falling for example, but computing courses are nearly always full.Sun: I don' t think qualifications are very important nowadays at least not higher qualifications. I think it' s all right if you can leave school with some sort of certificate, but after that I think a lot is up to the individual to succeed. If the will to make it to the top is there, then paper qualifications are not going to make any difference at all. How many chairman and directors of large companies have university degrees? My guess is that there are not many. So, I think that there is a lot to be said for good sound experience rather than a piece of paper.Li: I think it is very important to have qualifications if you want to succeed. As higher education is available to nearly everybody nowadays the chance of obtaining employment without any qualifications is almost impossible. I think far too much importance is attached to qualifications and not enough to experience and capability, but I feel that until it becomes more difficult to obtain a qualification this situation will continue.Wang: I think today what you know is much less important than what kind of academic background you' ve got, or whom you know or how old you are. You see, many Young people are complaining about it. On the one hand, society provides young people with better educational facilities, on the other it does its best to exclude them from the job that really matter. I think people, whether you are young or old, should be free to compete on equal terms. What counts should be one's ability, not one' s background or academic qualifications. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}}[A] Good sound experience and the will to succeed are more important than paper qualifications.[B] The situation that too much importance is attached to qualifications and not enough to experience and capability will probably continue.[C] Qualifications are very important because they prove that you have achieved the necessary standard of knowledge or skill in a subject.[D] Qualifications are guarantee of success.[E] More importance is being attached to practical qualifications, such as computing, rather than purely academic qualifications, such as arts degree.[F] Without higher qualification, you will never succeed.[G] People should compete equally.

填空题Mary The new book about the death of Princess Diana is an insult to the French medical team that fought in vain to save her life last August. Everyone knows the situation was hopeless. It is tasteless for a couple of American journalists to criticize the heroic efforts of the French doctors and the British intelligence team that have had to pick up the pieces and deal with the aftermath of the accident. The authors can wheel out as many American Experts as they like, expound on as many theories as they like of how American procedures could have saved Diana’s life, but this is just another tacky attempt to make money out of Diana’s horrific death. Sian Given the extent of Diana’s injuries, her death was inevitable. Stories about what might have happened only cause further pain for the families of those involved. Let the dead rest in peace. Andre The suggestion that Diana could have been saved if she had been transported more quickly to a hospital completely ignores the French system of medical rescue, which relies on fully equipped ambulances manned by a medical team under the supervision of a physician. It’s easy to say afterward that Diana should have been sent to the hospital fight away. But when a team arrives on the scene, it is impossible in most cases to tell immediately what is the best solution. The French approach is a reasonable one. Rob You provided a tantalizing excerpt from what is no doubt a fascinating book. The section on whether Diana could have lived debates relevant issues of delay in hospital treatment, given that Diana survived for nearly two hours. But what is surely more important is that if she, Dodi Fayed and the chauffeur had been wearing seat belts, they almost certainly would have survived and been able to throw some real light on exactly what happened in the accident. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement. Statements A. No one can tell exactly what happened in the accident. B. I think we should not bring any more pains for the families concerned. C. I think some American reporters are just attempting to make more money out of her death. D. The French medical team is correct in treating Diana on the scene. E. Diana could have been saved if she was delivered to the hospital quickly.

填空题 {{B}}Jennifer:{{/B}} The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don't be as silly as them. {{B}}Kac: {{/B}} Spring just hits here, too. It's so nice—windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It's tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I'll go camping soon! {{B}}Soscia: {{/B}} In the city you don't have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer's heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads.{{B}} Harno: {{/B}} Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread—I don't know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming.{{B}} Macland: {{/B}} It's been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November…In February it's like a warm period that's been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive (生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they'll be gone in a few days. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Statements [A] Future is bright. [B] Man conquers nature. [C] We can see the effect of the pollution on the climate. [D] Human beings have to struggle hard against weather. [E] The call of nature is there. [F] He hates spring. [G] Sometimes we worry too much about nothing. Note: there are two extra statements.

填空题Article Five

填空题Greg Louganis: These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers' lives if I have spilled blood in the pool. For what I knew—that few others knew—was that I was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving professionally after the Olympics. Margaret Chan: It is reported that almost three million people in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot underestimate the power of prevention. Paula Green: The disease robs the body of its natural defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV drugs are in Africa. The drugs help patients live longer without developing AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it. Raymond Chow: Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past. William Wang: Huge barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and die within months. What's more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing world. Statements A. Some HIV-positive patients don't cooperate with doctors. B. AID patient's blood may be dangerous to other people's lives. C. People are scared of AIDS. D. Treatment is more urgent than prevention. E. Many people can't get HIV drugs because of poverty. F. More people get HIV treatment, but even more get infected. G. HIV drugs should be cheaper.

填空题 Paul Smith: Hello, everyone. Today let's talk about study performance. Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence that you will never become a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. In my opinion, our concentration on studies is of most importance to us. Concentrating on our studies, everyone is likely to be a top student without additional work. Now it's for each of you to discuss how we manage it. Carol: From my personal experience, the planning of time is of the greatest importance. We must make a list of our weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of the time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Good planning will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you t9 plan your activities so that you have ad equate time for both work and play. Siemon: As to me, it is important to develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. So don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let us know that we need to spend more time studying, and they help make our new knowledge permanent. Laura: I do think that study place is critical in our study. A good study area is supposed to improve our study efficiency. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. Davis: I think regularity matters a lot. In class, we should listen carefully to what the teacher says, go over the notes as soon as possible after class and review important points mentioned in class as well as those we remain confused about. This will help us understand the class better. If we review the notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] To ensure your study efficiency, you should choose a good study area.[B] If you set your mind on your studies, you'll become a top one.[C] Regularity plays nothing more than anything in studies.[D] Regularity plays an critical role in our studies.[E] Your school performance depends on your study habits.[F] We should develop a good attitude towards tests.[G] It's important to have a good planning of our school time
