填空题 {{B}}Text{{/B}} "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a popular saying in the United States, Other countries have similar sayings. It is true that all of us need recreation. We cannot work all the time if we are going to maintain good health, and enjoy life. Good physical and mental health in fact enables us to work more efficiently. Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to participate in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketball and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors. Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to participate in them. Many people prefer to be spectators, either by attending the games in person, watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match, it is almost impossible to get tickets: everyone wants to attend. Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn't matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon. II is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some form of recreation. A. maintain B. woods C. bridge D. individual E. events F. participating G. dull

填空题Entrepreneurs and small business owners are typically buried in demands and obligations. So, learning to say "no" and focus on the right things is critically important. Vickie Milazzo, a very successful businessman and author of Wicked Success Is Inside Every Woman , has some useful advice that could certainly benefit just about anyone, not just women. Use your time wisely. 1 You have to work hard at them every day, sometimes in very small steps, so you should commit to doing something every day toward your goal and reach it in separate but related stages. Abandon perfectionism. When you get there, success may not look like what you expected. 2 You all have your own idea of how success will look and feel when you get there, so your ability to be flexible and adjust your goals could get you to a place of success much earlier than you otherwise might. 3 If you are struggling to achieve a goal, you cannot learn much from someone else who is struggling to achieve that same goal. Therefore, you should look around for other people who have achieved what you want. In other words, you should find those whose work you admire and model yourself after them. Keep it fresh. 4 Tap back into the frame of mind you had when you were just starting out. Finding that passion again will often renew your energy and engagement. Finally, give yourself a break. If you stepped back and looked at your daily routine objectively, as if it were happening to your best friend, what would your advice be? Would it be: Slow down? 5 Or spend a few moments enjoying the day? A. More haste, less speed. B. Hang on to your dreams. C. Take a few deep breaths? D. Do you remember why you wanted the career you have? E. You cannot achieve big goals overnight. F. Find successful people to learn from and imitate. G. So, you should adjust your expectations and definition of success along the way.

填空题Wu Changshun

填空题Louisa: 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 everything 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. Marina: 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. Ross: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal 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. Anita: 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. Chandler: 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 because of their family. 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. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements A．My work is the focus of my life. B．Family and work are both important for women. C．Men and women should bear the same responsibility in family and work. 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 the child better than men.

填空题Directions:Read the texts from a newspaper in which five people talked about their experiences when an earthquake shook San Francisco. For questions 61 to 65, match the number of each eyewitness report to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers ANSWER SHEET 1. Eyewitness report 1. I was sitting down, looking out of the window across the bay and I said to Byron, my husband: "Darn good earthquake weather this." You know kind of joking like? And I'll be darned if moments later the earth doesn't start shaking and rolling! Well, Byron, he fell to the floor; I tried to get up out of my chair, but it was useless. It was like trying to balance on the moving water bed. Anyhow, I somehow managed to roll over on to the floor and drag myself under the desk. "This is it !" I thought, "I'm going to be buried. I'm going to die." It was a nightmare. I still shake when I think of it. Eyewitness report 2: I was driving home on the upper-deck of the bay bridge and the car suddenly started bouncing up and down. It was like being on a bumper car. Only you could die in this game. I gripped the steering as hard as I could to try and control it. And the next thing I knew we were beginning to plunge towards the water. A huge block of the road way just broke off underneath us and went crashing down onto the lower deck, carrying us with it. I remember screaming out to Janice who was with me: "Oh, no, we're going to die!" I don't know what happened next. But something must have caught the car because we just hung there. Somehow we were able to crawl out of the windows. How we managed that, I'll never know. Eyewitness report 3: The food started flying off the refrigerator; dishes started breaking off the wall; the TV started knocking over and the windows started breaking and cracking. I started screaming and trying to get my little sister out of the house. We ran outside. I looked out and there were big cracks in the walls and the building was beginning to come down. It was like being in a cement-mixer. The building I lived in looked like a giant doll house with its interior exposed. My home was condemned and for a month, my little sister and I lived in a tent. Where would I go? The whole area is earthquake-prone. So, where are you going to run to? Eyewitness report 4: I was at this baseball game at Candletick Park. There were over 58,000 people there. Both teams had just been in batting practice. And then, there was a soft distant rumbling sound. That's the only way I can describe it. It was like thunder. Then the stadium started to shudder and the light tower was suddenly swaying from side to side. And foul line poles were whipping backwards and forwards like crazed pendulums and this chunk of concrete fell off one of the towers. Someone told me later that it crashed down on an empty seat. The guy sitting there had just left to go and buy a hotdog. Can you believe that? Eyewitness report 5: I was in this elevator just after leaving my office which is on the 20th floor. There were six of us in there and there it was swinging and banging against the sides of the shaft all of a sudden. I thought the darn thing had been disconnected or something. Then somewhere between floors, the elevator door burst open and there were blocks of concrete rushing past us. Then the cage started to drop slowly, then fast, then slowly again. Then it shuddered to a jarring halt. You could imagine that there was a lot of screaming. It was like one of those late-night horror movies. And there we all were starting out at the plaster wall somewhere around the 13th floor. It took them over half an hour to crank us up to the 13th floor where we were able to crawl out. It was very nerve-racking. Now match each of the eyewitness reports (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. A. I was on my way home when the quake took place. B. A lot of people were injured during the quake. C. It seemed I had predicted the earthquake. D. Many buildings and houses were condemned. E. After the quake, my home was not safe and we had to move out. F. We didn't believe it was an earthquake. We thought the facility was out of order. G. If the man hadn't gone to buy food, he must have been killed.

填空题Mother Ours is a small country. That’s why I want to emigrate. I think it will guarantee my children’s future. I believe that I will be able to find a job as a university lecturer in maths and that my husband, a doctor, will easily find a job. Though I will miss my own country and friends, I am confident I will soon make new friends and settle well and quickly into Australia. I have already been there twice and I really liked it.Father I recognize that things are not going well in my country. Nevertheless, I am very attached to it. I love the way I spend my life here and I also have my elderly parents to consider. They would not emigrate and could I leave them? I will always be able to make some kind of living in my country, and hope that my children will probably land on their feet. However, Australia may be a safer bet. I tend to be a rather conservative person.Daughter I am 20. I am doing a degree in engineering and I know that it is fairly unlikely that I will be able to find a job when I graduate. I already have job contacts in Australia and also some very good friends there. I love the thought of being able to ski and do all the sports the Australians do. However, I am concerned that my parents, especially my father, won’t adapt well to the changes. I am a very practical person.Son I' m 24. I graduated in psychology last year. Since then I have been unemployed. I am currently going out with a girl I' m thinking of marrying. She has a job--a good one--as a biologist. I' ve been to Australia and liked it a lot. I recognize that it would be sensible to emigrate there, but I have no wish to leave my own country. I want to work for its improvement and I feel I only belong here. I wouldn’t like my parents to go without me. I am a bit romantic. Grandfather I am an old man and I don’t want to move very much. I' ve lived here for about seventy-two years and I' m used to the way of life here. I have been to a foreign country once and I found it hard to adapt well to the life there. So I' m really worried if I emigrate to Australia. I haven’t been there, so I don’t know whether it suits me. Emigrating there might be good for my children’s future, but as far as I am concerned, I don’t want to leave here. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. I want to stay where I am since I'm old. B. I am optimistic about the prospect of emigrating to Australia. C. Changes can make life colorful. D.

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Mikhil Jaisinghani: After reading your article "The Truth About Global Warming". I'm no less concerned about the earth's environmental condition. You say "Scientists are still differing with huge gaps in their knowledge." But Lindzen, the writer of the article, is no closer to the truth simply because he can criticize. Global warming may be far from understood, but let us act to prevent it anyway, just in case the effects are real.John Leaver: It's shameful that you present Lindzen's views on climate change as "The Truth About Global Warming." It seems that your magazine is keeping an open mind, even though you admit that most climate scientists disagree with Lindzen's opinions. You characterize the view that waste gases should be cut as "very European." I take it that it is very American to pursue a policy of unlimited energy consumption without considering what most scientists and other countries think.Thomas Hervouet: How can we believe a man who holds that there is only a very weak link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking? Lindzen's position is unacceptable because it shows his lack of knowledge about cancer. I believe that French President Jacques Chirac is more informed on global warming--which no serious scientist denies--than President Bush, whose interests depend on the oil industry.Hans-Joachim Hell: What Lindzen says makes sense to me. For years I've read articles on negative climatic change and greenhouse effect. The only agreement seems to be "We agree that we disagree." Considering the recent chilly summers in Germany, I've no idea where the "warming" can be found. In past decades, summers were hot, almost unbearable. Now, in the midst of summer, we turn the heaters on and wear warm clothes.Derek Kickinson: The U.S. government should act for the American people by signing the Kyoto Protocol, instead of acting for Big Oil in America. Even if scientists cannot agree on the numbers, global warming is taking place, and this is not beneficial for the planet. The anti-Kyoto position of the U. S. government is a short-term political move, but the long-term losers will be the American people and the environment. Now match the name of each people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Lindzen seems unqualified to speak of the effects of global warming on health.[B] America will pay a price for its shortsightedness some day.[C] Though opinions on global warming vary, we have to do something about it.[D] Lindzen really has a point to make on global warming.[E] You really have an open mind to present Lindzen's position on global warming.[F] It's good that Lindzen's article helps further the discussion on global warming.[G] America's attitude toward waste gas control is to be blamed rather than Europe's.

填空题Mary Taylor: My father looked at me disapprovingly when I talked to him about ideas that he didn't agree with. He would often interrupt me in the middle of a sentence to tell me I was wrong. As a result of the childhood experience, I had difficulty concentrating when anyone in authority talked to me. I would concentrate on how I was coming across to the other person, not on what the person was saying. Chris More: My father used to frown when concentrating on something. I thought he was angry or upset with me until I later found out that he was only thinking about what he was doing. I certainly experienced some anxiety until I found this out. When I started conducting seminars, I discovered that I frowned a lot while concentrating on what the talker was saying, and the attendees thought I was being critical of them. Janet Smith: I constantly tuned others out while they were talking and I couldn't seem to break this habit. It upset me because I was having trouble at work listening to directions and paying attention during meetings. As it happened, my mother had been a nonstop talker who ignored my needs. To keep my own sanity, I had learned to shut her out of my consciousness. I became so good at tuning her out that I generalized this behavior—tuning other people out as well. Lydian Mason: I often feel victim in my interactions with my boss. I think he is the persecutor and I'm the victim. For example, late Thursday afternoon, my boss gave me a twenty-page project with graphs and numerical tables to type and finish by Monday at 10 a.m. I didn't listen to the time he stated when he handed me the project. Instead, I was busy figuring out how I was going to get it done and finish the other work I had on my desk. Jack Candison: When I am with a group of people who are interested in the subject I am covering and are receptive to me, they are open to more material and ideas. The more important the subject is to them the more listening involvement they get into. In other words, the more relevant my material is to their personal or professional goals, the more they listen to what I have to say and the less they tune me out. Statements[A] It's hard for me to change my bad habit of not listening to others.[B] The heavy workload worried me so much.[C] Concentration, like other skills, takes practice.[D] I gave people the impression that I'm being picky.[E] My boss listens to me carefully.[F] My father used to ignore me.[G] People are likely to listen more attentively while the subject is of interest to them.

填空题Tom Field: I'll never pass the exams. I'm just not clever enough. Everyone's ashamed of me now. Why do I have to be clever and be miserable all the time? Is passing exam more important than being happy? I like playing ball games, football, basketball, soccer, baseball a lot of them. I think I will be quite good at all of them if I have more time to practice instead of sitting in a miserable classroom, listening to the teachers' miserable classes. I think I will become a sportsman. And I don't see any link to connect my present situation to a good happy sportsman.Barbara Field: We're all so disappointed. Those exams were so important for Tommy's career. He should have studied harder, instead of wasting most of his time playing foot-ball and computer games. He'll have to spend another year at school now, and he'll probably never get to university. We spent a lot of time and money on his education, and it's all been wasted, I am afraid. His brother is doing extremely well at school yet Tom performs badly. That's really worries his father and me.Ian Clark: I am Tom's doctor. Tommy was due to take his final school examination. Instead he went into hospital suffering from a nervous breakdown. He is now recovering in the hospital. This happens every time exams are held. Students play all year round and forget about their studies, and then suddenly there's a last-minute panic as they realize that the exams are looming up. Suddenly they start studying twenty hours a day, they go without sleep, they neglect their food, they don't get any natural fresh air and exercises, and naturally they get overtired and worried and they can't handle the mental strain. It would be better if the schools hold exams once a month instead of once a year. Then the children could achieve a better balance between work and play.Nick Sharpe: I am Tom's friend. I'm against the whole system of exams. They test only a little of what kids learn at school. They test the ability to remember information and repeat it, but not their ability to think intelligently about what they've been taught. Biased examiners, who fail students if they don't agree with what the examiners write, regardless of how original and perceptive it may be, grade the examination papers. Many examiners grade papers in such a hurry that they don't possibly compare them in order to give lair marks. On the basis of a system like this, people are categorized for the rest of their lives as "pass" or "fail", yet for many students the exam results may have been influenced by sickness, injury, or family quarrels just before the "big day" of the exams. Richard Kennedy: I am the head master of Tom's school. We notice the panic caused by examinations, which depend too much on memory and don't allow the children to develop their own personality. We have been trying to reform the whole examination system by way of basing our school reports on a system of continuous assessment through various ways, not just the final written examination. We hope in this way we can maintain a high academic standard without examinations. Yet I wondered whether this would be accepted by the society. A personnel department manager once said to me that although they base their employment decisions on a number of factors. Manners, personality and appearance are important. So is actual job experience, yet the only way they can judge applicants' intelligence, without knowing them, is by their examination record. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] Students usually suffer from a nervous breakdown before the examination takes place.[B] Tom will never get to university.[C] Exams fail to make a fair and correct judgment on the ability of the student.[D] Tom's bad performance at school worries us.[E] We may find better ways than those of examination, yet it is hard to make them accepted by the society at large.[F] It's important for students to be able to keep a good balance between work and play all the time.[G] I can become a happy person without learning anything.
