For questions 61 to 65, match each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.{{/I}}{{B}} Abbey:{{/B}} 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!{{B}} Marlin:{{/B}} 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.{{B}} Maggie:{{/B}} 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."{{B}} Belinda:{{/B}} 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.{{B}} Wood:{{/B}} 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.{{I}} Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

填空题Taylor

填空题Timothy Constance: What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend — a soul mate — someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn't seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men. Grise Levison: I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk. Marry Brown: In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them. Donna Smith: I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order. Elizabeth Budy: I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It's also true that they're likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them. Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn't a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today's single women.

填空题Stanley: The world"s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows how much fuel is left, but pessimistic forecasts say that there is only enough coal for 450 years, enough natural gas for 50 years and that oil might run out in 30 years. Obviously we have to do something, and we have to do it soon. Taylor: Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Nuclear power is the only real alternative. We are getting some electricity from nuclear power stations already. If we invest in further research now, we"ll be ready to face the future. There"s been a lot of protest lately against nuclear power— some people will protest at anything— but nuclear power-stations are not as dangerous as some people say. It"s far more dangerous to work down a coal-mine. In many parts of the world where there are no fossil fuels, nuclear power is the only alternative. If you accept that we need electricity, then we will need nuclear energy. Orwell: I totally disagree with Taylor. Let"s first look at the facts. First, there is no perfect machine. I mean, why do planes crash? Machines crash. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable-sooner or later. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations. Next, nuclear waste. There is no technology for absolutely safe disposal. Some of this waste will remain active for thousands of years. Is that what you want to leave to your children? And their children"s children? Moore: I"d like to begin by agreeing with Orwell. We can develop alternative sources of power, and unless we try we"ll never succeed. Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any sources of energy. If we didn"t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, etc, our fossil fuels will run out, and we"ll all freeze or starve to death. Don"t forget that energy from the sun, the waves and the wind lasts for ever. We really won"t survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy. Bright: I don"t agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we must continue to rely on the fossil fuels— oil, coal and gas. But we must also look to the future. Our policy must be flexible. Unless we thought new research was necessary, we wouldn"t be spending money on it. The big question is where to spend the money— on conservation of present resources or on research into new forms of power. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Nuclear power should he the safest power to resort to. B. Terrorists could hold the nation to ransom if they captured a reactor. C. Something must be done to deal with the approaching energy crisis. D. It is more important to save energy by conservation than to produce energy with the same amount of money. E. The world will not run out of energy resources. There will always be some alternatives. F. Nuclear power is dangerous in its production and disposal. G. Nuclear power is the only alternative in order to conserve fossil fuel.

填空题Karia Brown

填空题Emily M. Brown Hurt and humiliated, betrayed partners feel justified in taking immediate action. But certain actions cannot be undone. People make a mistake by rushing out to get a divorce lawyer or telling their friends about the disloyalty. For example, if you tell your family about your partner's disloyalty and you remain together, you'll face a double hurdle: mending your marital relationship and the relationship between your partner and your family, who will make your partner angry for hurting you. During this phase I advise the betrayed partner to slow down and keep from overreacting. If you want to save your marriage, your best move is to wait for your head to clear. Shirley Zussman Other betrayed partners established a position of moral superiority. Some wives bring up their husband's affair ten years after it's over. They use the affair as a weapon for self- justification. The idea is: "This is such a bad person, I'm a saint to live with him." Unfortunately, this attitude makes it impossible to repair your relationship and move on. Park Ridge As a woman slid into the passenger side of her husband's car, she discovered in the seat a bottle of pills prescribed to another woman. Turning to her husband of 30 years, she asked, "What's this? I don't know." he muttered. Eventually, he confessed that he was involved with the stranger. The wife was hurt, and in the following weeks demanded to know details of his love affair: how he had met the woman, where they had made love, what girls he had given her. He finally answered all her questions truthfully. At first I held back because I was afraid of hurting her. But when I got caught in a lie, it made everything worse. Dr. Pittman Before healing can occur, the betrayer must end the affair. For some this is extremely difficult, for an affair gives them an emotional high and seems to be a quick fix for their problems. Hot, forbidden sex is sex without responsibility. You change partners instead of changing life circumstances. Such sex is never a long-term cure. Idealized, romantic affairs are based on illusion rather than reality, and illusion is difficult to maintain. The betrayer can imagine his lover has all the qualities his partner lacks. But true intimacy is based on genuine mutual understanding and the ability to acknowledge and accept each other's flaws and weakness. Seifer Most couples are hurt by disloyalty. As a result, no healing can take place until you acknowledge your wrongdoing and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, your partner will remain angry--and suspect that you will start again. Admitting guilt can be particularly difficult for betrayers who blame their partners for their disloyalty. But having an affair has little to do with how good your marriage or sex life is. A person can't be driven to have an affair. Pointing the finger at your partner may help relieve your own guilt, but it will cause even more trouble on your marriage. By working through the problems that cause the disloyalty, you can save your relationship. Now match each of the persons (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. Keep secrets.B. Face reality.C. Stop fighting fire with fire.D. Avoid doing something abrupt.E. Expect things to be the same.F. Tell the truth.G. Admit you were wron

填空题 {{B}}Marian:{{/B}} I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She's found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home. {{B}}Catherine: {{/B}} I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way. {{B}}Roger: {{/B}} A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn't mean you're excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks! {{B}}Briggs: {{/B}} I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there. {{B}}Bill: {{/B}}You're forgetting the most important point—it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dross code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code—start your own business.{{I}} Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements{{/I}}. {{B}}Statements{{/B}} [A] We shall not be moved. [B] Money means freedom. [C] Photos taking are pleasant. [D] There are people who are so careless about dressing. [E] Action speaks louder than words. [F] It is our society that must be blamed. [G] You should wear appropriately where you are.

Ms. Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device. "I am more confident today than I was before. Today I have more hands-on. Working with young people makes it wonderful because that"s all they know and they didn"t make me feel that I was old or dumb." Menay Mccague : Meridy McCague is the director of the 50 Plus Center. "As people are aging, their worlds get a little smaller. Some of them can no longer drive, some of them don"t get out to make long trips to see their relatives. And it brings them back out into Facebook, into Skype and just to be able to communicate. They can do everything from ordering things from Amazon now, to ordering groceries or meals." Kerry Hannon : Kerry Harmon is a career and retirement expert. "You have a huge growing population over 60 that"s just expanding, and offers an incredible opportunity to buy online, to research products that they want to buy, maybe not online, but they research them online. About a third of the Internet users in general are over 50. As seniors get more excited about using the technology, they"re going into the market place and buying it. So that"s a boom for economy fight there." Madison Lain is a 17-year-old teacher for the technology workshop. "I think I"ve learned a lot on how to connect with people and work with them because I"m usually a shy person so I"m not good at connecting with others besides my family and friends. So I"ve learned to be more outgoing." Satire Windley : Safire Windley is head of the Youth and Teen Center that operates the program.

填空题Paula: The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do. Mrs. John: The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly. Mary: In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin. Judy: In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you if you act in a certain way. Carrie: In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to keep fit. Statements A. You build your own future. B. Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit. C. Computer will be an effective tool for doctors. D. Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or overweight E. Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance. F. People will be able to visit doctors more frequently. G. Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.

填空题Linda My husband weighed 275 pounds. He used to skip breakfast, and he didn"t eat all that much for dinner. So I once wondered why he was getting so big. Then I found out he was stopping to buy a dozen chocolate-covered doughnuts each morning. And you know how I found out? He was eating them while driving, so he wouldn"t have to share them at work. While chasing one that roiled across the front seat, he ran into a telephone pole. Emily Two years ago, I knew my husband"s health was at risk because of all the weight he had picked up since we"d been married. But he wasn"t doing anything about it. Then I went to a doctor"s office and I followed his advice and started talking about food to my husband-what was good, what was bad-as if it was a new discovery. I didn"t lecture my husband about the evils of being overweight, didn"t try to threaten him by saying if he didn"t lose weight his blood pressure could shoot sky-high and he might have a heart attack. Instead, I talked about how well he"d look in new clothes, how he" d probably do better on the job (he was a salesman), to ask questions. After a few months, he"d lost 20 pounds. John I once kept a list of everything I ate one week, just to show my wife was wrong about where I was picking up extra pounds. When I studied my list, I wondered how I found time to do any work, I was eating so much. There"s nothing like seeing it in black and white to prove you"re wrong. Jane Scott When I found my husband had weight problem, I was determined to take some measures. I made sure I needed something from the store three mornings a week, and then I told my husband I didn"t want to walk there alone-it was about a quarter of a mile each way-and I"d always insist on walking. He breathed hard at first, but gradually got used to it, and we started making a circle around the neighborhood at night, too, with the dog. That was three years ago, and now I can"t keep him still. The walking got him used to using his body again, and he was happy to find it still worked pretty well. Ted Men tend to think less about the costs of excess pounds than women do. Men often seem blind to the possibility that a beer belly is causing them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their careers and killing them before their time. Also, many men feel self-conscious going to a diet center-especially if most of the group is female. Diets are perceived to be of women"s concern, or an admission of weakness. There are even men who would rather blow up like a blimp before they admit to other men-or themselves-that they need to lose weight. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. The heavier, the merrier. B. Some form of physical exercise has to play a part in men"s weight-loss program. C. Attention should be paid to eating patterns. D. Men"s attitudes are quite different from women"s. E. Gaining weight has nothing to do with health. F. Your educational role sometimes has to be more subtle. G. Facts are indisputable.

填空题Marvin Burnham We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the things you can make from oil! If we don't start thinking ways to face the problem, it will be too late.Catherine Woodstock Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any source of energy. We can do research on solar energy, wind power, wave power, tidal power, hydroelectric schemes etc; otherwise, our fossil fuels will run out, and we'll all freeze or starve to death. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.Michael Parkhurst In the past, we consumed too much energy. If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless everyone realize the seriousness of energy crisis and stop wasting, our resources will not support us for long.Charles Wicks I don't agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we can still rely on the fossil fuels—oil, coal and gas. Researches are going on and new sources of energy will be found in the future. So there is nothing to worry about.Jennifer Hughes Some people think nuclear power is away to solve the problem, but think of the potential danger of it. There is no perfect machine. I mean, why do aeroplanes crash? Machines fail. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable—sooner or later. Huge areas would be evacuated, and they could remain contaminated with radioactivity for years. If it happened in your area, you wouldn't get a penny in compensation. No insurance company covers nuclear risks. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations, too. statementsA. We should take steps to solve the problem.B. Saving the present resources is the most important thing.C. Nuclear power is an ideal alternative.D. We should develop alternative sources of power.E. I'm optimistic about the future of energy.F. Nuclear power is not secure.G. Energy crisis is inevitable.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule(1 to5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. Zhao: I should say qualifications are very important nowadays. You'll never get a good job if you don' t have any qualifications. As I can see it, qualifications are a good proof that you have the necessary qualities and skills to work in a particular profession. If you want to get a job, you must have some kind of qualifications.Qian: I agree that qualifications are important nowadays. But qualifications are certainly no guarantee of success. The thing is that with a growing number of people looking for a smaller and smaller number of jobs a person without any qualifications stands very little chance. I think the kind of qualification people want is changing, though. They seem to want something far more related to the kind of job they want to do. The number of people who want to do arts degree at university is falling for example, but computing courses are nearly always full.Sun: I don' t think qualifications are very important nowadays at least not higher qualifications. I think it' s all right if you can leave school with some sort of certificate, but after that I think a lot is up to the individual to succeed. If the will to make it to the top is there, then paper qualifications are not going to make any difference at all. How many chairman and directors of large companies have university degrees? My guess is that there are not many. So, I think that there is a lot to be said for good sound experience rather than a piece of paper.Li: I think it is very important to have qualifications if you want to succeed. As higher education is available to nearly everybody nowadays the chance of obtaining employment without any qualifications is almost impossible. I think far too much importance is attached to qualifications and not enough to experience and capability, but I feel that until it becomes more difficult to obtain a qualification this situation will continue.Wang: I think today what you know is much less important than what kind of academic background you' ve got, or whom you know or how old you are. You see, many Young people are complaining about it. On the one hand, society provides young people with better educational facilities, on the other it does its best to exclude them from the job that really matter. I think people, whether you are young or old, should be free to compete on equal terms. What counts should be one's ability, not one' s background or academic qualifications. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}}[A] Good sound experience and the will to succeed are more important than paper qualifications.[B] The situation that too much importance is attached to qualifications and not enough to experience and capability will probably continue.[C] Qualifications are very important because they prove that you have achieved the necessary standard of knowledge or skill in a subject.[D] Qualifications are guarantee of success.[E] More importance is being attached to practical qualifications, such as computing, rather than purely academic qualifications, such as arts degree.[F] Without higher qualification, you will never succeed.[G] People should compete equally.

填空题Mary The new book about the death of Princess Diana is an insult to the French medical team that fought in vain to save her life last August. Everyone knows the situation was hopeless. It is tasteless for a couple of American journalists to criticize the heroic efforts of the French doctors and the British intelligence team that have had to pick up the pieces and deal with the aftermath of the accident. The authors can wheel out as many American Experts as they like, expound on as many theories as they like of how American procedures could have saved Diana’s life, but this is just another tacky attempt to make money out of Diana’s horrific death. Sian Given the extent of Diana’s injuries, her death was inevitable. Stories about what might have happened only cause further pain for the families of those involved. Let the dead rest in peace. Andre The suggestion that Diana could have been saved if she had been transported more quickly to a hospital completely ignores the French system of medical rescue, which relies on fully equipped ambulances manned by a medical team under the supervision of a physician. It’s easy to say afterward that Diana should have been sent to the hospital fight away. But when a team arrives on the scene, it is impossible in most cases to tell immediately what is the best solution. The French approach is a reasonable one. Rob You provided a tantalizing excerpt from what is no doubt a fascinating book. The section on whether Diana could have lived debates relevant issues of delay in hospital treatment, given that Diana survived for nearly two hours. But what is surely more important is that if she, Dodi Fayed and the chauffeur had been wearing seat belts, they almost certainly would have survived and been able to throw some real light on exactly what happened in the accident. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement. Statements A. No one can tell exactly what happened in the accident. B. I think we should not bring any more pains for the families concerned. C. I think some American reporters are just attempting to make more money out of her death. D. The French medical team is correct in treating Diana on the scene. E. Diana could have been saved if she was delivered to the hospital quickly.
