单选题Robert Fred was the general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury Park, New Jersey. One cold day two years ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light, Stephen Pearman, an out-of-work taxi and truck driver, walked up to Fred's ear hoping to earn some change by washing his windshield. Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off, Fred turned on the wipers to show he wasn't interested. Pearman put his head close to the window. "Come on, mister. Give me a chance. I need a job," he said. Something in Stephen Pearman's voice moved Robert Fred. In the seconds before traffic started moving again, Fred handed, Pearman a business card and told him to call if he was serious. "My friends told me he was just pulling my leg," said Pearman. "But I said, ' No, he's a businessman. I need to give it a shot.'" Two days later, 29-year-old Pearman appeared in the manager's office of the big hotel. Fred gave him a job and housing and lent him pocket money while training him. Today, Pearman works full-time setting up the hotel's dining halls for business meetings. In the past two years, he has found a flat, married and repaid Fred's loans. "Mr. Fred gave me a second chance," says Pearman, "and I took advantage of it. I could have just come here a while, eaten up and left. But there is no future in washing windshields." Ordinarily, Fred keeps away from the street People. "But Pearman seemed so honest and open, asking for a chance rather than just money," Fred says: "I don't hand my business card to just any- body. But I'm. glad I did in this case./

单选题There is no denying it: Boys think differently from girls. Even though recent brain research evidence is controversial(争议的), that conclusion seems inescapable. One clue to brain differences between the sexes came from observation of infants. One study found that from shortly after birth, females are more sensitive to certain types of sounds, particularly to a mother's voice. Female babies are also more easily awoken by loud noises. Tests show girls have increased skin sensitivity, particularly in the fingertips, and are better at fine motor performance. Female infants speak sooner, have larger vocabularies and rarely show speech mistakes. (Stuttering, for instance, occurs almost only among boys.) Girls exceed boys in language abilities, and this early linguistic bias(倾向) often continues throughout life. Girls read sooner, learn foreign languages more easily and, as a result, are mole likely to enter to occupations involving language mastery. Boys, in contrast, show an early visual superiority. They are also clumsier, performing poorly at something like arranging a row of beads, but excel at other activities calling on total body coordination. A study of preschool children by psychologist Diane McGuinness of Standford University found boys more curious, especially in regard to exploring his environment. Her studies also confirmed that males are better at manipulating three-dimensional space. There is evidence that some of these differences in performance are differences in brain organization between boys and girls. Overall, verbal and spatial abilities in boys tend to be "packaged" into different hemisphere: the right hemisphere for nonverbal tasks, the left for verbal tasks. But in girls nonverbal skills are likely to be found on both sides of the brain. The hemispheres of women's brains may be less specialized for these functions.

单选题 Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. "The railway owes me ￡15," she said to Jack Smith, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket for June 23rd, but there was no ship from Marey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡15." Jack was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he said politely. "I'll just check the Marey timetable for June 23rd." The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Jack soon discovered. There was no sailing on June 23rd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt," he said to her. "Did you have a nice holiday in Marey?" "Yes," she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!" "That's fine," said Jack. "My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three." "I'm four!" the child said proudly. Jack turned to the mother, "I remember your ticket, Madam," he said, "But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?" The woman looked at the child, "I mean she hasn't started school yet. She's only four." "A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Marey costs ￡15.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe ￡0.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine..." The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office.
