The more we investigate and the more we learn about living the more we become convinced that the artistic attitude is the only one which is consistent with human happiness. A. opposite B. philosophy C. experience D. different E. last F. meaningless G. competition

填空题 {{B}}Peter:{{/B}} My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the 'goals' would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it.{{B}}Simon:{{/B}} The playground was quite small. The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walss. It was more like a prison yard on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass.{{B}}Alan:{{/B}} I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince's Street Primary and the room in which 1 received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers. My amazement at seeing these items, which are normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life.{{B}}Nick:{{/B}} I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground—a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local schoolchildren. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up , more than in the rest of the little town's correct and neat suburbia, where my house was.{{B}}Julie:{{/B}} Unitl I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small play-ground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sit-ting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out.

Earlier this month, the office asked for the public"s help to measure their speed results, saying consumers 3 to get the speeds they were promised. "Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another," the Attorney General said. If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn"t be the first time a telecom provider got into 4 over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers.

填空题Emma Scott Good manners don"t come from hypocrisy; they come from empathy. Empathy means feeling as though you are the other person: that is, putting yourself in his or her place. Be aware that certain topics are dangerous to get into. Subjects such as politics and religion may be suitable in some groups but not in others. In certain cultures it is even impolite to mention these topics because they are considered very personal. Phyllis Harrison Angry argument is the enemy of enjoyable talk. Even though people who become angry may be correct in their opinions, their offensive manner may make them lose both the argument and the respect of other people. A good rule for discussion is to use hard facts and a soft voice. Linda Rice Like the driver of a car, the conversationalist has to watch for traffic signals, the indications of when to stop and when to go on. Signs of listeners’ boredom or impatience are conversational "red lights", warning you to come to a stop quickly. On the other hand, their enjoyment and attentiveness are like green lights. If people are interested in what you are saying, they will give you a "go" signal, by asking you to continue. Melanie Williams Asking irrelevant questions, making unrelated comments, finishing other people’s sentences, or helping them tell a story can be very annoying. Interrupting should be only a last resort used, for example, when the speaker has been rambling, putting people to sleep, or bringing up topics that may be offensive. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want others to do to you. B. Notice your listeners’ reaction to what you are saying. C. You should be very brief. D. The Chinese have a saying that the person who shouts first has lost the argument. E. Be careful not to hurt the feelings of the people around you, F. Don’t interrupt other people.

Today Brooklyn is the second largest borough in area and the most populous. Brooklyn sometimes is called the borough of homes and churches. But it is also an indispensable port.

The borough is one of the largest manufacturing centers in the United States. Queens: Queens was founded in 1645 at Vlissingen(today called Flushing.. It is the largest borough in area.

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 onto 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 all 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 munch 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 cake sat 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 I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] 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 enjoy life more.[F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[G] Dieting does more harm than good to one's health.

填空题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. Statements[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 Simon: I work not because I like it but that I have to, so I often count the minutes until stopping work or holidays. However, my sister is totally different. She enjoys her work so much that she often spends extra time on her job even take work home with her. I think she is so crazy about work just as some people are about drugs or alcohol. I could hardly understand it. Matthew: Work is a core element of our lives. It gives us a sense of identity in the larger world outside the personal circle of family and friends. However, there are some people for whom work occupies an even more central place in their lives. Workaholics are a stereotype of modem life, and they are both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it may be the accepted way of earning promotion. On the other hand, workaholics are often viewed as neglecting aspects of life such as family and leisure that are important for maintaining a healthy equilibrium. Andrew: In cities, workaholism is so common that people do not regard it as unusual. I think workaholics prefer to work rather than do anything else because they don't know how to kill time if they don't work. They can only get pleasure from work. Work is everything for them. Colin: Workaholism is dangerous in a sense because it can cause some problems. First of all, workaholics often have health problems because they don't have time to relax and keep themselves occupied all the time. Secondly, their family life is not happy since they spend little time with their family. Their marriage may even ends in divorce. Vincent: Being a workaholic can mean you achieve great things, but more people achieve great things without being addicted to work. Workaholics need time away from work and when I say "away from" I mean psychologically distanced from it as well as physically. If you are still obsessing about work when you should be focused on your loved ones or an outside of work activity then you are still basically working. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] Some people appreciate those who pay almost all their attention on work.[B] If you don't get rid of workaholism, you may get ill.[C] To get promotion, you need to be a workaholic.[D] Workaholics' behaviors are hard to understand.[E] Workaholics had better have some time with no work.[F] It's hard for workaholics to be away from work psychologically.[G] Workaholics don't know how to enjoy themselves except working.
