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At 21, Ricardo Semler became boss of his father"s business in Brazil, Semco, which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman, from 7:30 a. m. , until midnight every day. One afternoon, while touring a factory in New York, he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said, "There"s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you"ll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his employees worked too. He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries. 1 "Everyone at Semco, even top managers, meets guests in reception, does the photocopying, sends faxes, types letters and dials the phone." He completely reorganized the office: instead of wails, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can"t shut themselves away from everyone else. 2 As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts. Semler says, "We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn"t even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea. Rubin springs into action 3 That"s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn"t look busy the rest of the time." Semco has flexible working hours: the employees decide when they need to arrive at work. 4 It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years, Semco"s revenues have gone from $ 35 million to $ 212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000. Why? Semler says it"s because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. 5 In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do. A. This saved money and brought more equality to the company. B. He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them. C. And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want. D. Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work. E. If someone isn"t doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. F. Also, Semco lets its workers use the company"s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year. G. After years of hard-working, he tired.

填空题Mark Vaught

填空题 Background: Activists gathered in New York City this week to call attention to a problem that has existed for a long time: the pay difference between American men and women. The United States Congress took steps to fix the problem back in April 1963, when it passed the Equal Pay Act. The law requires US businesses to pay women and men the same wage for equal work. But on average, women today still earn 22% less than men. For women of color, the difference is even greater. African-American women earn 36% less; Latinas earn 44% less. The difference in pay costs women nearly $450 billion a year in lost wages. Beverly Neufeld: Beverly Neufeld set up a group called PowHer NY to improve economic fairness. She says the average woman has to work 15 months every year to make what an average white man makes in 12 months. That difference is, in her words, "a lot of bread"—another word for money. Activists point out economic fairness is not an issue that concerns only women. Martha Kamber: Martha Kamber is head of the Young Women"s Christian Association in Brooklyn, New York. She says if women cannot earn enough money to support their families, the whole community suffers. And in the United States, where single mothers lead one fourth of all homes, the pay difference has an especially big effect on children. Barack Obama: Last January, President Barack Obama asked Congress to pass a law that strengthened economic fairness between women and men. But the federal government has not been successful in that aim. So some state governments are taking action. Michelle Titus: The New York State Assembly is expected to pass the Equal Pay Bill this year. It will protect employees who discuss their earnings with others. Representative Michelle Titus proposed the bill. She says the protection is important because employers usually bar workers from comparing how much money they make. Robert Cornegy: Robert Cornegy, a New York City council member, is also urging change. He tells his daughters every day that if they work and study hard they can achieve anything and be recognized fairly. He says he does not want to tell them a lie. Now match each name (1-5) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. He/She supports the Equal Pay Bill which has been passed this year. B. He/She starts a group to maintain economic fairness. C. The community will be mined if women can"t get enough money. D. A law relating to economic fairness between women and men was passed in his demand. E. He/She is the one who put forward the Equal Pay Bill. F. The pay difference will affect a lot on children living with single mothers. G. His/Her daughters believe that if they try harder, they will be treated equally with the men in their future work.

"They not only make it 4 to sleep at night, but they are doing damage to our houses and shops of historical interest," said John Norris, one of the protesters. "If we must have these noisy trucks on the roads," said Jean Lacey, a biology student, "why don"t they 5 a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn"t much more than a large village. Its streets were 6 meant for heavy traffic". Harry Fields also studying biology said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to 7 what everybody was shaving to stand. "Most of them don"t live here anyway," he said, "they come in 8 meetings, and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don"t notice. It"s high time they realized the problem." The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren"t they soon would be. I asked if they were afraid that the 9 might come to stop them.

填空题Ros Langford

填空题 Abbey: You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are! Marlin: I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly. Maggie: During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost ail that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It's not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it." Belinda: If you are on a diet, you're always hungry, You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth watering food while you tuck a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse. Wood: I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel rye lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　StatementsA. Being on a diet is a torture.B. I feel better with vegetarian food.C. I lost weight after dieting.D. I began dieting for the sake of health.E. Dieting enables people to eat more than they need.F. Dieting simply causes endless worries.G. Dieting does more harm than good to one's health.

填空题Jennifer: 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. Kac: 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! Soscia: 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. Harno: 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. Macland: 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Sharon Brage: I was walking in the shopping center when a car went straight on and knocked me over. That's why I am in this hospital now. Although I was not in danger of life, yet the bones of both my legs are broken. Doctors say I might not be able to walk steadily afterwards. The driver was going too fast. High Street is a shopping centre, not a car racing place. There are old people and children crossing the street all the time. Cars should not be allowed into the shopping centre. Why should everybody suffer because a few selfish people are too lazy to walk to the shops?Jack Bream: Well, my sympathy to the lady who was hurt by my car in the shopping center. Yet what could I do? She stepped straight out of the shop and into the road without looking. I think she is lucky to be alive. I am actually a very careful driver and have never had any accident before. She should have used at least the zebra-crossing. I simply don't understand these ladies with many bags and parcels in their arms and walk on as if there were no cars at all. The police should stop people from walking on the road. Roads are for cars, not for people.George Forest: Accidents like this happen all the time. When people are shopping, they think about nothing else. They forget about road safety altogether. The drivers are just as bad. They become impatient with traffic jams and parking problems make them careless. There is only one way to prevent accidents here, and that's by banning cars from using High Street. This old town was built before the age of motor cars, so most of its streets are too narrow for heavy traffic. To protect the old buildings, we should build a by-pass to go around the shopping center and to divert the through traffic from it too. The situation in High Street calls for a special solution. Up until now, drivers have been allowed to come and go as they please. But every town needs traffic-free areas where people eau relax in peace and safety. Parks and shopping centers should be completely closed to all motor vehicles.Joe Dixion: These days everyone needs a car. It's the cheapest, fastest, most comfortable way to get around. It's especially convenient for shopping. Why wait in the rain for crowded buses and struggle with heavy parcels? Go by car. Of course there are traffic problems. That's not because there are too many cars but because there are too few roads. The Government should spend a little of our tax money on widening High Street, building new highways and more car parks in the downtown area.Herbert Rawlins: Drivers are selfish. They only think of their own comfort and forget about the suffering they cause, other people. They poison our air with waste and gas. They shatter our ears with noise They wreck our nerves with dangerous driving. Beautiful old buildings are torn down to make room for car parks. The countryside is scarred with new highways. The society sacrifices too much for cars. Who actually benefits? Nobody. Not even the drivers themselves, because they suffer from poor health through lack of physical exercises and nervous tension. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] Both the drivers and the people shopping should be responsible for the present situation in High Street.[B] Cars are the bad things which do not do any people any good.[C] What caused the accident and my suffering should be considered and dealt with to find a good solution.[D] Even a careful driver can get into an accident.[E] It is the Government who should take the responsibility not the people who have ears.[F] We shouldn't tear down our old buildings to build new roads. On the contrary, we should protect our old buildings.[G] People shopping around in High Street should be careful of the traffic and use the zebra-crossing.

填空题Arlene

填空题Grose My family wanted me home every other weekend, but I didn’t fit in there anymore. I’d argue constantly with my father, who still treated me like a child. My sister thought I was "uppity". Everyone was miserable, and I felt guilty. I decided to try treatment when my friends got fed up with me. They didn’t want to talk about my problems any more, but my problems were the major focus of my life. I needed someone who could help me understand what was happening to me. I’d seen ads for the counseling center and decided to give it a try. Kwanzaa When I took a part-time job and started living off-campus, my course work fell apart. I couldn’t concentrate or sleep, and I was always irritable and angry. When I began considering suicide, I knew I needed serious help. My resident advisor helped me call a local hotline where I got some good referrals. It was just a phone call, but it was the starting point that got me to the professional help I needed. Cheever I’ve always been anxious and never had much confidence. College was harder than I had expected, and then my parents divorced, which was traumatic for me. After a while, all I did was cry, sleep, and feel waves of panic. Actually while the depression was painful, working to get better has taught me a lot about who I am and how to stay healthy. Colbert After two years, of straight A’s, I couldn’t finish assignments anymore. I felt exhausted but couldn’t sleep, and drank a lot. I couldn’t enjoy life like my friends did anymore. I kept asking myself, "How could I be depressed? I’d had a normal family life, had been getting good grades, and hadn’t experienced any big trauma—where did my depression come from?" I knew I was depressed but thought I could pull out of it by myself. Unfortunately, friends reinforced this attitude by telling me to just toughen up. When that didn’t work, I felt even worse because I had "failed" again. When a friend suggested I talk to his counselor, I resisted at first. In my mind, professional help was for weak, messed up people. But then, I hit a bottom so low that I was willing to try anything. Getting treatment definitely changed my life for the better and helped me avoid flunking a semester. Fenty During a manic episode, I stayed awake for five days straight, but had a lot of energy. I spent my tuition money on a major shopping spree (购物狂欢) and long distance phone calls. I also played around with several guys that I hardly knew. At the time, I felt so great that I couldn’t see that there were serious problems with what I was doing. Now that I’ve gotten some treatment, I’m back from the edge, I know how to keep from being out there again. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements[A] I never changed the opinion that professional help was for weak, messed up people.[B] Getting professional treatment can really pull me out of depression.[C] At first I didn’t know where my depression came from and resisted professional help.[D] When my friends were impatient with me, I decided to go to the counseling center for help.[E] A phone call got me to the professional help.[F] Everyone can be full of energy for five days without sleep.[G] I learned a lot about myself and to stay healthy through the way of working to get better.
