填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. Public Discussion on Cutting Students' Burden{{B}}Zhou Li (a parent in Beijing){{/B}} Reduce Students' burden? Who will be responsible if my child can't go to college? Heroes in major tests are both from high marks. Many families have only one child, and no parents wish to see their child fall to receive a higher education. In addition, marks equal cash. Right now, major middle schools and universities are using a charging system. One more mark is several hundred yuan less than your parents have to pay.{{B}}A teacher (Shanghai){{/B}} The admission peak in China is now shifting from primary schools to high schools and universities, which will lead to an employment peak. Competition between many people for one post will not bean uncommon situation. Under these circumstances, those who cut their burdens will lose at the beginning of the competition. Cultural Revolution's experience tells today's parents that they should not be fooled. As long as job opportunities are not secured for everyone, examinations must be continued.{{B}}Wang Juexuan (director of the Regular Education Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Education){{/B}} It is necessary to establish a sound evaluation system first. However, creating a new system is difficult and will take a long time. Evidence indicates that the biggest obstacle in cutting workloads comes from parents. High marks mean better schools, better colleges and, later, better jobs. A 20-score gap can't tell who is superior when comparing to two students, but in the eyes of parents, the scores mean that those two children will enter two schools of different grades and that they therefore will have different futures.{{B}}Wu Changshun (Principal of the Beijing No. 5 Middle School and CPPCC member){{/B}} Students' overload reduction cannot be based on one's own wishes. First, efforts should focus on reducing the amount of homework and psychological pressure on students. Second, according to the Ministry of Education, the effort is mainly to cut the burden on primary students, but now some localities are cutting burdens in middle schools as well. Third, What kind of work should be cut, and are we ready for the cut? Fourth, the students' work overload is like a syndrome; you can't cure it with only one drug.{{B}}Dr. Shen Yushun (Education Institute of the East China Teachers' University){{/B}} First we need to form a system that ensures an evaluation that truly and accurately reflects a student's accomplishments, and also orients the teaching activities of schools to target the comprehensive development of students. Second, we need to change the mode of the Government's administration of elementary education. Thirds, we need to reform the entrance examination system, especially that for college. I suggest that national and regional unified exams be canceled and various colleges make out questions for their own exams in recruiting students. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] Many measures should be taken to cut students' study load, such as, new evaluation and examination system, and the reform of elementary education.[B] New evaluation system is essential to the cutting of students' study load. If there is no efficient evaluation system, parents who only care about their children's examination results will give more home work to their children in order to get high marks in the examinations. Thus, no overload is reduced.[C] It is impossible to cut students' study load since no one knows what should be cut.[D] It is impossible to cut students' study load. Without homework how can they get high mark? If they fail in the major examination, parents have to pay more money if they still want a higher education.[E] It is a long process to cut students' study load. We can not say leaving less homework as the cutting of students' load. What we should do is to cut their load physically and psychologically.[F] We shouldn't cut middle school students' study load because they are faced with the entrance examination to college.[G] I do not think students' load should be cut. From history we know that working hard and getting higher education provide you with an advantage when competing with others.

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.

James Belasco: When the employee causes a problem, help him or her to recognize that. Describe how you feel about the situation and explain possible consequences. You may also suggest other ways for the person to think about the situation. For instance, tell the person how his or her difficult behavior affects other people, such as coworkers or customers.Ken Carlson: Encourage people instead of criticizing them. Praise them and they'll do more things right and discover talents and abilities they never realized they had. Look for opportunities to compliment a person who demonstrates high work standards. Show the person that you understand everyone makes mistakes and that we can learn positive lessons from mistakes. Or even briefly share one of your own mistakes and thereby strengthen trust between you.Jack Carter: Although you' ve got a lot to do each day, give your first attention to approving and reviewing projects your employees are working on that day. Don't frustrate them by being too busy to OK their work or give direction. Give feedback and share information, ideas and suggestions in a timely manner. Don' t hide behind voice mail and closed office door. Make yourself easy to contact in case they need you.Kelly Hodges: Often, it is the little things we do for people (such as letting workers with long commutes leave early on a snowy day, or springing for dinner when overtime is required) that determine their loyalty to you. Talk with people who have faced challenge in and outside the workplace. Offer them your encouragement. Ask them what things you can do that support them. Work with them to develop a plan for building more supportive behaviors. Show your employees that you care about them. Make certain every employee knows you are committed to supporting his or her development, both professional and personal developments.Robert Scott: Don't shoot down a suggestion before you' ve heard it in full.

填空题Caroline Hartman: Thanks for the terrific article on U2's Bono and his efforts to save Africa from financial ruin. He's not a saint. He is a hard-working, real man, using his gifts to inspire us in song and make a difference in the world. Some issues are so serious that most of us don't even try to fix them. Bono can't save the world by himself, but like others who have shown the way, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, he is proving that one man can make a difference. Molly Leuschel: Bono may be smarter, better informed and more committed than other stars, but Africa's problems are larger than his ambition. After living in Africa nearly six years, I returned to the U.S. with more questions than answers. Debt relief is a noble idea, but most foreign aid does little to enrich the life of the average African. Amanda Adichie: I am a 24-year-old Nigerian and have often viewed stars "concern" for Africa with resentment. My reaction to Bono was different: I was impressed. He is right in recommending not only debt relief but the lowering of trade restrictions on African countries. What Africa needs is not gifts of fish but fair access to the fishing pond. Malini Ranganathan: Your story on the smartest superstar on the planet was brilliant. I felt like I was right there with him, there to nod my head in approval and to believe in the potential of his African-debt-relief campaign, there to appreciate the peculiar, stubborn, witty and human sides to a guy who seems too famous to be real. Hats off to you for capturing these features so aptly and for making Bono's personality so real, his cause so true. Lynne Pereira: I loved your article on Bono, but why the annoying wording on your cover: "Don't laugh — the planet's biggest rock star is on a mission to make a difference"? Who would want to laugh? Bono has proved that he's willing and able to do what plenty of world leaders can't or won't do: put his money where his mouth is and make a difference. Statements[A] Competition on an equal footing is vital to Africa.[B] Bono should save himself from himself.[C] One man's power, though limited, is significant.[D] Africa's problems are insolvable.[E] You have presented a real image of Bono.[F] Africa is faced with other issues besides debts.[G] Bono's cause is a serious business.

填空题Liu: To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it"s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society. Liang: Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand. Yao: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural matemal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. Wang: Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman"s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. Zhao: Although we may say women"s talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. Statements A．My child is the focus of my life. B．Family and work are both important for women. C．Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties. D．I would give up the whole world for my work. E．Women need work to prove their own value. F．Women are born to be mothers. G．Women understand child better than men.

填空题 {{B}} Simon:{{/B}} I work not because I like it but that I have to, so I often count the minutes until stopping work or holidays. However, my sister is totally different. She enjoys her work so much that she often spends extra time on her job even take work home with her. I think she is so crazy about work just as some people are about drugs or alcohol. I could hardly understand it.{{B}} Matthew:{{/B}} Work is a core element of our lives. It gives us a sense of identity in the larger world outside the personal circle of family and friends. However, there are some people for whom work occupies an even more central place in their lives. Workaholics are a stereotype of modem life, and they are both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it may be the accepted way of earning promotion. On the other hand, workaholics are often viewed as neglecting aspects of life such as family and leisure that are important for maintaining a healthy equilibrium.{{B}} Andrew:{{/B}} In cities, workaholism is so common that people do not regard it as unusual. I think workaholics prefer to work rather than do anything else because they don't know how to kill time if they don't work. They can only get pleasure from work. Work is everything for them.{{B}} Colin:{{/B}} Workaholism is dangerous in a sense because it can cause some problems. First of all, workaholics often have health problems because they don't have time to relax and keep themselves occupied all the time. Secondly, their family life is not happy since they spend little time with their family. Their marriage may even ends in divorce.{{B}} Vincent:{{/B}} Being a workaholic can mean you achieve great things, but more people achieve great things without being addicted to work. Workaholics need time away from work and when I say "away from" I mean psychologically distanced from it as well as physically. If you are still obsessing about work when you should be focused on your loved ones or an outside of work activity then you are still basically working. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}} [A] Some people appreciate those who pay almost all their attention on work. [B] If you don't get rid of workaholism, you may get ill. [C] To get promotion, you need to be a workaholic. [D] Workaholics' behaviors are hard to understand. [E] Workaholics had better have some time with no work. [F] It's hard for workaholics to be away from work psychologically. [G] Workaholics don't know how to enjoy themselves except working.

You may approach life with the philosophy of the vegetable, in which case your life will consist in being born. eating, drinking, sleeping, mating, growing old, and dying. The second basic attitude is to look at life as if it were a business. A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business, and they arrange their conduct and behavior accordingly.

填空题Ma Jian It"s my own decision. Why? Only for the college and specialty I like. I found my exam results fell short of my expectations. In fact, with the results, I could have entered a decent university and studied quite a good specialty. But that"s not what I like. I think my future job will be largely decided by what I learn in college and I don"t like to have a job which I dislike in future. Although I know what kind of hardships I will experience during this one-year restudy, I feel it is worth one more year restudy. Cui Gong My goal is the Dept. of Biology at Peking University. I failed last year by only a few marks. Although computing is a hot faculty that many people strive to get into, I never felt settled and could not forget my dream. So I decided to quit and prepare for another exam. Indeed I face great pressure primarily because I"ve given up a hot specialty and I may fail the next exam. But I have to try whatever the risk, otherwise, it will remain a knot in my heart the rest of my life. Zhao Zuoyi I think the increasing number of re-applicants who have got high scores is a normal phenomenon. It results from the general social atmosphere that reflects changes in social demand. In the 1950s, for instance, all society needed were those who could read and write. You were respected if you were a primary school graduate. Recently, talents with a higher education background are in great demand. Mr Zheng Learning is not merely for learning, but for application. The purpose of learning is to improve the qualification of the learner, to adapt oneself to social development, to broaden the sphere of employment and finally to create values for oneself and society. If I consent to my son having one-year restudy, outwardly my family loses 7 000 Yuan on tuition, but the actual loss is far more than that amount. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement. Statements A. I quit computing and decide to achieve my dream. B. I think learners should adapt themselves to the social development. C. I want to have a job which I like in the future. D. I think it reflects changes in social demands. E. I don"t want to lose 7000 Yuan for my son to restudy.

填空题Kenneth: Is this saying really true? I have experienced much pain, sadness and sufferings before I find true happiness. I believe it's true that we have to go through pain and suffering to be happy. I think everybody would agree that if we want something, we have to work for it. It feels good to look back at the things you've gone through when you finally got what you wanted. If we worked hard and achieve something, we feel happy.Andrea: Happiness for me is when I feel loved by those I love.., there arc a few persons who can make me feel high for days when they tell me sweet words, compliments, etc.., or just show they care about me as much as I do about them. Happiness is also when I don't worry, when I know that the persons I love are alive, healthy and ok. And it is when I have hope about something I wish to come true.., hope is important.Thomas: In a world like this, where there is no kind of' stability, no possibility of anything lasting, but where everything is thrown into a restless whirlpool of change, where everything hurries on, flies, and is maintained in the balance by a continual advancing and moving, it is impossible to imagine happiness. It cannot dwell where, as Plato says, continual Becoming and never Being is all that takes place.Robinson: I believe and agree that happiness is based on disposition on the position, it's internally based not external. It's how you look up on things, not how things is working on for you. Happiness is a gift, you must accept to receive it. It's a state or feelings of pride ,joy, contentment, love and the like or a combination of one or all of this feeling. Lastly, I believe it varies on each person receiving or experiencing it, depending on how they express, explain or realize the feelings of bappiness within them.Barbara: The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier titan those who didn't graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　StatementsA. Happiness is attained only when in a state of steadiness and stillness.B. Happiness derives from your satisfaction in life.C. Happiness is an attitude toward life and how you feel about life.D.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.{{/I}}{{B}}Judith Rodgers:{{/B}} I was shocked. Last week my lecturer advised me to change a more suitable course. He said that a career in law was unsuitable for women. At first I thought he was joking, it was a stupid thing to say. Women are as intelligent as men. There are some excellent women lawyers. If he doesn't like teaching me, he should change his job. I have a right to study law. I will certainly have my career as a lawyer in the future. I don't think any male prejudice can stop me.{{B}}Peter Mitchell:{{/B}} She's wasting her time studying law. When she gets married and has children she'll be too busy to work. I do believe that an intelligent woman can succeed in any career if she has enough strength to overcome male prejudice. But she has to decide first whether or not she wants to have children. It's impossible to have a successful career and to be a good mother at the same time. That's why all the professions are dominated by men. Women sometimes can't decide things properly, because they are too emotional.{{B}}Doris Newman:{{/B}} What's the role of women in society today? First, as toys for men to play with — naive and charming. Second, as unpaid servants of the despotic husband — hard working and obedient. Third, as factories for producing children. This is kept throughout society, from nursery to university, from sports to politics. Nowhere are women given the same status as men. Nowhere are they allowed to think. How can we fight this discrimination? First by refusing to be played with. Second by refusing to be enslaved by marriage. Third, by refusing to have children. Finally, we must use political force to get equality of opportunity in employment and education. Women must regain their self-respect.{{B}}Muriel Green:{{/B}} I really enjoy being a wife and a mother. I have two lovely little kids and I have a good husband who works hard to pay for everything we need. When he comes home after work he's tired and he has a right to expect the house to be clean and the dinner to be ready. I couldn't do his work and he certainly couldn't do mine. We are both happy with our work. My mother was a good mother and a good wife too. She taught me how to cook and how to sew. God creates men and women, who are different in many ways. Our place is at home. God makes women to be mothers and wives. Women's Liberation should stop interfering.{{B}}Martin Kent:{{/B}} Until I find a job that pays me more money than my wife's getting now, I will do all the housework. Some men might laugh at me, but I don't mind. I am quite happy with this arrangement. They say that housework is a woman's job. That's stupid. If a woman has a skill and get a good salary, why shouldn't she work? My wife is a beautician and she loves her work. I take care of our two kids, drive them to school, prepare dinner for the family and do all the household choirs. I get plenty time to play with my kids in the open, go fishing, hunting and boating. I think this is important for their growth. Of course I also get plenty time for my own hobbies, too. I see no points in keeping my wife at home while I can do most of the repairing that she can't. By doing so, we actually save quite a lot of money. I don't understand those who think that only women can do housework. Men always do their own housework when they are single. {{B}}Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements{{/B}}A.

填空题Charleson Then I make a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable-in other words, to work at it. The will to talk is important to becom a better talker. I think one reason I"ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see that. I love what I"m doing. You can"t fake that. And if you try, you will fail. Rew Careful listening makes you a better talker. Good follow-up questions are the mark of a good conversationalist. I find this is always true. Actually, I have an important rule that I remind myself of every morning: nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I"m going to learn, I have to do it by listening. Sapir The best conversationalists are capable of talking about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving your own back yard. The point is:people with backgrounds different from your own can help you and your thinking. Tate Anybody I"ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I"m from Brooklyn, New York, and I"m Chinese. That"s because I"m deeply proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you"d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. Aza One of my cardinal rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor, preferably self-deprecating. Frank Sinatra"s never been afraid to make fun of himself-I think the key to his story-and most appealing to the audience-is that he so obviously enjoys retelling this joke at his own expense. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Be the genuine you. B. You don"t have to be quotable. C. Luck is the key. D. Attitudes counts. E. Keep it light. F. Remember to take turns. G. Broaden your horizons.

填空题Hadley: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, and then you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it. Randy: Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It is almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it. Sampson: The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense! Rowley: Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether. Bernice: Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than a cup of coffee. It is so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us. Statements A．Smoking brings many psychological benefits. B．Tobacco is an important source of income to the government. C．Smoking is sure to cause diseases. D．It's a short sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money. E．The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful. F．The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking G．It's doubtful whether there is link between smokin~ and cancer.
