单选题The ability to change with the time is the key to being successful in the fast paced world of the 21st century. Life, after all, is about change. But why, for so many of us, is change so difficult to deal with? Many years ago, Dr. Johnson faced a major change in his life. He at first responded to it by becoming angry and confused. But finally he realized that, instead of having to deal with the change, he himself had to change. Johnson made up the story of "Who Moved My Cheese?" to get himself to laugh at his foolish mistakes and fears. "Who Moved My Cheese?" deals with four laboratory mice who live in a maze (迷 宫). They look for the thing that makes them happy -- cheese. In the book, cheese is a metaphor for the things we want in life; the maze is where we look for those things. When the cheese is moved, each mouse is forced to deal with the change. Eventually, all four of them realize that they can triumph in changing times. The book was first published in 1998. Since then, many people have said it has helped them deal with change and make improvements in their lives. Mthough the book only takes about an hour to read, the lessons drawn from it can last a lifetime.

单选题{{B}}Text 2{{/B}} Adam Smith, a writer in the 1700s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England. "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them," Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a person. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them would have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new: it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.

单选题{{B}}Text 2{{/B}} Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer." The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, "What if?" I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

单选题{{B}}Text 2{{/B}} About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a young boy sat down at the next table．I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point，the woman asked："So, how have you been?"And the boy —who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied，"Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately．" This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"until we were in high school． The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years． Children don't seem childlike any more．Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to． Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different． Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why? Human development is based not only on innate(天生的)biological states，but also on patterns of access to social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status．Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders． In the last 30 years，however, a machine that reveals secret has been installed in 98 percent of American homes．It is called television．Television passes information, and indiscriminately(不加区分地)，to all viewers alike, be they children or adults．Unable to resist the temptation，many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging，more vivid moving pictures． Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access．Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced．Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials．
