单选题We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class. "You could win prizes" our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, "The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I' m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious,wise and rich. Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of making all of us believe we had a fair chance,and then always— rewarding the same old winners. I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can't say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me,and I probably never would have thought about that poster again. I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.

单选题From: Chad Becker, the Director of Personnel To: Employees Our financial advisors have finally reached a (24) on a plan designed to balance the company's finances. The plan will require us to make some sacrifices, but the good news is that we will not have to give up any of our medical or retirement benefits. Beginning next year, the vacation allowance for regular full-time employees will be reduced from 12 working days to 10 working days. While this means less time off, we still have two full weeks of leave each year, which is (25) with the national average. Policies concerning overtime have also changed. Unfortunately, salaried employees will no longer be eligible to receive overtime bonuses for putting in extra hours. In addition, the overtime pay rate for part-time workers will be (26) by 5.5%, and this rate will only be applied when one full hour or more of overtime is worked. I realize these changes are upsetting, but they are necessary for the company to continue operating at a profit. If you have any questions, please stop by my office. Thank you

单选题Urbanization and Its Influence Over half the world"s people now live in cities. The latest "Global Report on Human Settlements" says a significant change took place last year. The report 16 this week from U. N. Habitat, a United Nations agency. A century ago, 17 than five percent of all people lived in cities. 18 the middle of this century it could be seventy percent, or 19 six and a half billion people. Already three-fourths of people in 20 countries live in cities. Now most urban population 21 is in the developing world. Urbanization can lead to social and economic progress, but also put 22 on cities to provide housing and 23 . The new report says almost two hundred thousand people move 24 cities and towns each day.

This is where cities 27 quickly into rural areas, sometimes 28 a much faster rate than urban population growth. Sprawl is common in the United States. Americans move a lot.

单选题Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so. "Health is the greatest wealth," wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office. He looked much more cheerful and much happier. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. "But you know, doctor," the man went on saying, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."

单选题Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small. With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold. As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn' t have money for paychecks yet. Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M.I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology "guy" in-house. Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating office. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him. We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time . Louise was brillant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success. She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000. I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven. "I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You'll do well. You're going to work for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company." Who could have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.

单选题On behalf of the workplace issues committee, I would like to remind you all about the importance of energy conservation. By reducing our energy usage in the office, we cannot only save thousands of dollars on electricity bills, but we can also help the environment. Moreover, being energy efficient will help boost our image in the community. At last month's meeting of the workplace issues committee, we came up with a list of simple measures that individual employees can take to help conserve energy. Please read the following ideas, and try to put them into practice! ...Switch off your computer and monitor when you take your lunch break. ...Do not use a screen saver on your computer. ...Leave the blinds open so that artificial lighting can be kept to a minimum. ...Dress appropriately for the conditions so as to reduce usage of heating and air conditioning. ...Take the stairs rather than the elevator whenever possible. The list is an excellent start, but it is far from exhaustive. If you have any suggestions to add, please do so. Whether you are a senior manager or a junior office clerk, your input is equally valuable! You can post suggestions on the workplace issues web page on the company intranet. We will then discuss your suggestions at next month's meeting of the workplace issues committee. Kind regards, Bethany Willets

单选题Summer Travel Sale Figures published yesterday in a report on the national housing market show that consumers purchased more new homes in September than in any month yet this year. The increase of 14.1% over last month directly contradicts the predictions of market analysts. It was a real shock to most of us," admitted Lashawnda Cassano, chief economist with the firm Capital Resources, LLTG. " New-home sales were down so much in August and July that we simply expected the trend to continue. But this changes everything." The report states that 71,000 homes were sold in the month of September. That is well above the figure of 62,000 sold in August and July' s one of 64,000. Previous months had seen the number holding steady at around 68,000. These new numbers are sure to encourage investors, who have been hesitant to put their trust in the country's economy since last spring's downturn. All three national stock markets jumped up at least ten points on the news. The report is also likely to boost construction of new homes, as builders interpret it as a rise in consumer demand. However, if they react too enthusiastically, they risk flooding the market with new houses. Which could have the effect of pushing down prices and cutting into the profits of the real estate industry.
