This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stoics made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores.Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop.

大学英语自学教程(下)01-A. What Is a Decision?A decision is a choice made from among alternative courses of action that are available. The purpose of making a decision is to establish and achieve organizational goals and objectives. The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists, goals or objectives are wrong, or something is standing in the way of accomplishing them.Thus the decision-making process is fundamental to management. Almost everything a manager does involves decisions, indeed, some suggest that the management process is decision making. Although managers cannot predict the future, many of their decisions require that they consider possible future events. Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance, hut since uncertainty is always there, risk accompanies decisions. Sometimes the consequences of a poor decision are slight; at other times they are serious.Choice is the opportunity to select among alternatives. If there is no choice, there is no decision to be made. Decision making is the process of choosing, and many decisions have a broad range of choice. For example, a student may be able to choose among a number of different courses in order to implement the decision to obtain a college degree. For managers, every decision has constraints based on policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like. These constraints exist at all levels of the organization.Alternatives are the possible courses of action from which choices can be made. If there are no alternatives, there is no choice and, therefore, no decision. If no alternatives are seen, often it means that a thorough job of examining the problems has not been done. For example, managers sometimes treat problems in an either/or fashion; this is their way of simplifying complex problems. But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives.At the managerial level, decision making includes limiting alternatives as well as identifying them, and the range is from highly limited to practically unlimited.Decision makers must have some way of determining which of several alternatives is best -- that is, which contributes the most to the achievement of organizational goals. An organizational goal is an end or a state of affairs the organization seeks to reach. Because individuals (and organizations) frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals, the best choice may depend on who makes the decision. Frequently, departments or units within an organization make decisions that are good for them individually but that are less than optimal for the larger organization. Called suboptimization, this is a trade-off that increases the advantages to one unit or function but decreases the advantages to another unit or function. For example, the marketing manager may argue effectively for an increased advertising budget. In the larger scheme of things, however, increased funding for research to improve the products might be more beneficial to the organization.These trade-offs occur because there are many objectives that organizations wish to attainsimultaneously. Some of these objectives are more important than others, but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department. Different managers define the same problem in different terms. When presented with a common case, sales managers tend to see sales problems, production managers see production problems, and so on.The ordering and importance of multiple objectives is also based, in part, on the values of the decision maker. Such values are personal; they are hard to understand, even by the individual, because they are so dynamic and complex. In many business situations different people's values about acceptable degrees of risk and profitability cause disagreement about the correctness of decisions.People often assume that a decision is an isolated phenomenon. But from a systems point of view, problems have multiple causes, and decisions have intended and unintended consequences. An organization is an ongoing entity, and a decision made today may have consequences far into the future. Thus the skilled manager looks toward the future consequences of current decisions. 01-B. Secrets of Success at an InterviewThe subject of today's talk is interviews.The key words here are preparation and confidence, which will carry you far.Do your homework first.Find out all you can about the job you are applying for and the organization you hope to work for.Many of the employers I interviewed made the same criticism of candidates. "They have no idea what the day to day work of the job brings about. They have vague notions of "furthering the company's prospects’ or of 'serving the community', but have never taken the trouble to find out the actual tasks they will be required to do.”Do not let this be said of you. It shows an unattractive indifference to your employer and to your job.Take the time to put yourself into the interviewer's place. He wants somebody who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job.Anything that you find out about the prospective employer can be used to your advantage during the interview to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for.Write down (and remember) the questions you want to ask the interviewer(s) so that you are not speechless when they invite your questions. Make sure that holidays and pay are not the first things you ask about. If all your questions have been answered during the interview, reply: "In fact, I did have several questions, but you have already answered them all.”Do not be afraid to ask for clarification of something that has been said during the interview if you want to be sure what was implied, but do be polite.Just before you go to the interview, look again at the original advertisement that you answered,any correspondence from your prospective employer, photocopies of your letter of application or application form and your resume.Then you will remember what you said and what they want. This is very important if you have applied for many jobs in a short time as it is easy to become confused and give an impression of inefficiency.Make sure you know where and when you have to report for the interview. Go to the building (but not inside the office) a day or two before, if necessary, to find out how long the journey takes and where exactly the place is.Aim to arrive five or ten minutes early for the actual interview, then you will have a little time in hand and you will not panic if you are delayed. You start at a disadvantage if you arrive worried and ten minutes late.Dress in clean, neat, conservative clothes. Now is NOT the time to experiment with the punk look or (girls) to wear low-cut dresses with miniskirts. Make sure that your shoes, hands and hair (and teeth) are clean and neat.Have the letter inviting you for an interview ready to show in case there is any difficulty in communication.You may find yourself facing one interviewer or a panel. The latter is far more intimidating, but do not let it worry you too much. The interviewer will probably have a table in front of him/her. Do not put your things or arms on it.If you have a bag or a case, put it on the floor beside your chair. Do not clutch it nervously or, worse still, drop it, spilling everything.Shake hands if the interviewer offers his hand first. There is little likelihood that a panel of five wants to go though the process of all shaking hands with you in turn. So you do not be upset if no one offers.Shake hands firmly -- a weak hand suggests a weak personality, and a crushing grip is obviously painful. Do not drop the hand as soon as yours has touched it as this will seem to show you do not like the other person.Speak politely and naturally even if you are feeling shy. Think before you answer any questions. If you cannot understand, ask: "Would you mind rephrasing the question, please?" The question will then be repeated in different words.If you are not definitely accepted or turned down on the spot, ask: "When may I expect to hear the results of this interview?"If you do receive a letter offering you the job, you must reply by letter (keep a photocopy) as soon as possible.Good luck!02-A. Black HolesWhat is a black hole? Well, it's difficult to answer this question, since the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are inadequate here. Astronomers andscientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing ) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape ?not even light. So we can't see a black hole. A black hole exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space -- or so we think. How can this happen?The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they collapse and sometimes a supernova occurs. From earth, a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime. Supernovae were reported by astronomers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some people think that the Star of Bethlehem could have been a supernova. The collapse of a star may produce a White Dwarf or a neutron star -- a star, whose matter is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity. But if the star is very large (much bigger than our sun) this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results. Imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble, but still having the same mass and a stronger gravitational pull, and you have some idea of the force of a black hole. Any matter near the black hole is sucked in. It is impossible to say what happens inside a black hole. Scientists have called the boundary area around the hole the "event horizon." We know nothing about events which happen once objects pass this boundary. But in theory, matter must behave very differently inside the hole.For example, if a man fell into a black hole, he would think that he reached the center of it very quickly. However an observer at the event horizon would think that the man never reached the center at all. Our space and time laws don't seem to apply to objects in the area of a black hole. Einstein's relativity theory is the only one which can explain such phenomena. Einstein claimed that matter and energy are interchangeable, so that there is no "absolute" time and space. There are no constants at all, and measurements of time and space depend on the position of the observer. They are relative. We do not yet fully understand the implications of the relativity theory; but it is interesting that Einstein's theory provided a basis for the idea of black holes before astronomers started to find some evidence for their existence. It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes. In August 1977, a satellite was launched to gather data about the 10 million black holes which are thought to be in the Milky Way. And astronomers are planning a new observatory to study the individual exploding stars believed to be black holes,The most convincing evidence of black holes comes frown research into binary star systems. Binary stars, as their name suggests, are twin stars whose position in space affects each other. In some binary systems, astronomers have shown that there is an invisible companion star, a "partner" to the one which we can see in the sky. Matter from the one which we can see is being pulled towards the companion star. Could this invisible star, which exerts such a great force, be a black hole? Astronomers have evidence of a few other stars too, which might have black holes as companions.The story of black holes is just beginning. Speculations about them. are endless. There might bea massive black hole at the center of our galaxy swallowing up stars at a very rapid rate. Mankind may one day meet this fate. On the other hand, scientists have suggested that very advanced technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind. These speculations sound like science fiction. But the theory of black holes in space is accepted by many serious scientists and astronomers. They show us a world which operates in a totally different way from our own and they question our most basic experience of space and time.02-B. Worlds within WorldsFirst of all let us consider the earth (that is to say, the world) as a planet revolving round the sun. The earth is one of nine planets which move in orbit round the sun. These nine planets, together with the sun, make up what is called our solar system. How this wonderful system started and what kept it working with such wonderful accuracy is largely a mystery but astronomers tell us that it is only one of millions of similar systems in space, and one of the smallest.The stars which we see glittering in the sky on a dark and cloudless night are almost certainly the suns of other solar systems more or less like our own, but they are so far away in space that it is unlikely that we shall ever get to know very much about them. About our own solar system, however, we are learning more every day.Before the American and Russian astronauts made their thrilling journeys into outer space it was difficult for us to realise what our earth looked like from hundreds of thousands of miles away, but the photographs which the astronauts were able to take show us the earth in space looking not very different from what the moon looks like when we look at it from the earth. The earth is, however, very different from the moon, which the American astronauts have found to be without life or vegetation, whereas our earth is very much alive in every respect. The moon, by the way, is called a satellite because it goes round our earth as well as round the sun. In other words, it goes round the sun with our earth.The surface of our earth is covered by masses of land and larger areas of water. Let us consider the water areas first. The total water area is about three times as large as the land area. The very large separate areas of water are called "oceans” and the lesser areas are called "seas.”In most of the oceans and seas some of the water is found to be flowing in a particular direction -- that is to say, from one part towards another part of the ocean or sea concerned. The water which is flowing in this manner is said to be moving as a "current." There are many thousands of currents in the waters of the oceans and seas, but only certain of the stronger and better marked currents are specially named and of great importance. These currents are important because they affect the climate of the land areas close to where they flow and also because they carry large quantities of microscopic animal and vegetable life which forms a large part of the food for fishes.The nature and characteristics of the surface of the land areas of the earth vary a great deal from area to area and from place to place. The surface of some areas consists largely of high mountains and deep valleys whilst, in other areas, most of the surface consists of plains. If onemade a journey over the Continents one would find every kind of surface including mountain ranges, plains, plateaux, deserts, tropical forestlands and empty areas covered permanently by ice and snow.When thinking and learning about the world we should not forget that our world is the home of a very great many different people -- peoples with different coloured skins, living very different lives and having very different ideas about a great many important things such as religion, government, education and social behaviour.The circumstances under which different people live make a great difference between the way in which they live and the way in which we live, and it ought to be our business to try to understand those different circumstances so that we can better understand people of other lands. Above all, we should avoid deciding what we think about people different from ourselves without first having learned a great deal about them and the kind of lives they have to live. It is true to say that the more we learn about other people, the better we understand their ideas and, as a rule, the better we like those people themselves.03-A. Euthanasia: For and Against"We mustn't delay any longer ... swallowing is difficult ... and breathing, that's also difficult. Those muscles are weakening too ... we mustn't delay any longer.”These were the words of Dutchman Cees van Wendel de Joode asking his doctor to help him die. Affected with a serious disease, van Wendel was no longer able to speak clearly and he knew there was no hope of recovery and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating.Van Wendel's last three months of life before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor were filmed and first shown on television last year in the Netherlands. The programme has since been bought by 20 countries and each time it is shown, it starts a nationwide debate on the subject.The Netherlands is the only country in Europe which permits euthanasia, although it is not technically legal there. However, doctors who carry out euthanasia under strict guidelines introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago are usually not prosecuted. The guidelines demand that the patient is experiencing extreme suffering, that there is no chance of a cure, and that the patient has made repeated requests for euthanasia. In addition to this, a second doctor must confirm that these criteria have been met and the death must be reported to the police department.Should doctors be allowed to take the lives of others? Dr. Wilfred van Oijen, Cees van Wendel's doctor, explains how he looks at the question:"Well, it's not as if I'm planning to murder a crowd of people with a machine gun. In that case, killing is the worst thing I can imagine. But that's entirely different from my work as a doctor. I care for people and I try to ensure that they don't suffer too much. Th at's a very different thing.”Many people, though, are totally against the practice of euthanasia. Dr. Andrew Ferguson, Chairman of the organisation Healthcare Opposed to Euthanasia, says that "in the vast majorityof euthanasia cases, what the patient is actually asking for is something else. They may want a health professional to open up communication for them with their loved ones or family -- there's nearly always another question behind the question.”Britain also has a strong tradition of hospices -- special hospitals which care only for the dying and their special needs. Cicely Saunders, President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement, argues that euthanasia doesn't take into account that there are ways of caring for the dying. She is also concerned that allowing euthanasia would undermine the need for care and consideration of a wide range of people: "It's very easy in society now for the elderly, the disabled and the dependent to feel that they are burdens, and therefore that they ought to opt out. I think that anything that legally allows the shortening of life does make those people more vulnerable.”Many find this prohibition of an individual's right to die paternalistic. Although they agree that life is important and should be respected, they feel that the quality of life should not be ignored. Dr. van Oijen believes that people have the fundamental right to choose for themselves if they want to die: "What those people who oppose euthanasia are telling me is that dying people haven't the right. And that when people are very ill, we are all afraid of their death. But there are situations where death is a friend. And in those cases, why not?But "why not?" is a question which might cause strong emotion. The film showing Cees van Wendel's death was both moving and sensitive. His doctor was clearly a family friend; his wife had only her husband's interests at heart. Some, however, would argue that it would be dangerous to use this particular example to support the case for euthanasia. Not all patients would receive such a high level of individual care and attention.03-B. Advantage UnfairAccording to the writer Walter Ellis, author of a book called the Oxbridge Conspiracy, Britain is still dominated by the old-boy network: it isn't what you know that matters, but who you know. He claims that at Oxford and Cambridge Universities (Oxbridge for short) a few select people start on an escalator ride which, over the years, carries them to the tops of British privilege and power. His research revealed that the top professions all continue to be dominated, if not 90 per cent, then 60 or 65 per cent, by Oxbridge graduates.And yet, says Ellis, Oxbridge graduates make up only two per cent of the total number of students who graduate from Britain's universities. Other researches also seem to support his belief that Oxbridge graduates start with an unfair advantage in the employment market. In the law, a recently published report showed that out of 26 senior judges appointed to the High Court last year, all of them went to private schools and 21 of them went to Oxbridge.But can this be said to amount to a conspiracy? Not according to Dr. John Rae, a former headmaster of one of Britain's leading private schools, Westminster:"I would accept that there was a bias in some key areas of British life, but that bias has now gone. Some time ago -- in the 60s and before ?entry to Oxford and Cambridge was not entirely onmerit. Now, there's absolutely no question in any objective observer's mind that, entry to Oxford and Cambridge is fiercely competitive."However, many would disagree with this. For, although over three-quarters of British pupils are educated in state schools, over half the students that go to Oxbridge have been to private, or "public" schools. Is this because pupils from Britain's private schools are more intelligent than those from state schools, or are they simply better prepared?On average, about $ 5,000 a year is spent on each private school pupil, more than twice the amount spent on state school pupils. So how can the state schools be expected to compete with the private schools when they have far fewer resources? And how can they prepare their pupils for the special entrance exam to Oxford University, which requires extra preparation, and for which many public school pupils traditionally stay at school and do an additional term?Until recently, many blamed Oxford for this bias because of the university's special entrance exam (Cambridge abolished its entrance exam in 1986). But last February, Oxford University decided to abolish the exam to encourage more state school applicants. From autumn 1996, Oxford University applicants, like applicants to other universities, will be judged only on their A level results and on their performance at interviews, although some departments might still set special tests.However, some argue that there's nothing wrong in having elite places of learning, and that by their very nature, these places should not be easily accessible. Most countries are run by an elite and have centres of academic excellence from which the elite are recruited. Walter Ellis accepts that this is true:"But in France, for example, there are something like 40 equivalents of university, which provide this elite through a much broader base. In America you've got the Ivy League, centred on Harvard and Yale, with Princeton and Stanford and others. But again, those universities together -- the elite universities -- are about ten or fifteen in number, and are being pushed along from behind by other great universities like, for example, Chicago and Berkeley. So you don't have just this narrow concentration of two universities providing a constantly replicating elite.”When it comes to Oxford and Cambridge being elitist because of the number of private school pupils they accept, Professor Stone of Oxford University argues that there is a simple fact he and his associates cannot ignore:"If certain schools do better than others then we just have to accept it. We cannot be a place for remedial education. It's not what Oxford is there to do.”However, since academic excellence does appear to be related to the amount of money spent per pupil, this does seem to imply that Prime Minister John Major's vision of Britain as a classless society is still a long way off. And it may be worth remembering that while John Major didn't himself go to Oxbridge, most of his ministers did.04-A. Slavery on Our DoorstepThere are estimated to be more than 20,000 overseas domestic servants working in Britain (theexact figure is not known because the Home Office, the Government department that deals with this, does not keep statistics). Usually, they have been brought over by foreign businessmen, diplomats or Britons returning from abroad. Of these 20,000, just under 2,000 are being exploited and abused by their employers, according to a London-based campaigning group which helps overseas servants working in Britain.The abuse can take several forms. Often the domestics are not allowed to go out, and they do not receive any payment. They can be physically, sexually and psychologically abused. And they can have their passports removed, making leaving or "escaping" virtually impossible.The sad condition of women working as domestics around the world received much media attention earlier this year in several highly publicised cases. In one of them, a Filipino maid was executed in Singapore after being convicted of murder, despite protests from various quarters that her guilt had not been adequately established. Groups like Anti-Slavery International say other, less dramatic, cases are equally deserving of attention, such as that of Lydia Garcia, a Filipino maid working in London:"I was hired by a Saudi diplomat directly from the Philippines to work in London in 1989. I was supposed to be paid $ 120 but I never received that amount. They always threatened that they would send me back to my country.”Then there is the case of Kumari from Sri Lanka. The main breadwinner in her family, she used to work for a very low wage at a tea factory in Sri Lanka. Because she found it difficult to feed her four children, she accepted a job working as a domestic in London. She says she felt like a prisoner at the London house where she worked:"No days off -- ever, no breaks at all, no proper food. I didn't have my own room; I slept on a shelf with a spad0 of only three feet above me. I wasn't allowed to talk to anybody. I wasn't even allowed to open the window. My employers always threatened to report me to the Home Office or the police.”At the end of 1994 the British Government introduced new measures to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers. This included increasing the minimum age of employees to 18, getting employees to read and, understand an advice leaflet, getting employers to agree to provide adequate maintenance and conditions, and to put in writing the main terms and conditions of the job (of which the employees should see a copy).However, many people doubt whether this will successfully reduce the incidence of abuse. For the main problem facing overseas maids and domestics who try to complain about cruel living and working conditions is that they do not have independent immigrant status and so cannot change employer. (They are allowed in the United Kingdom under a special concession in the immigration rules which allows foreigners to bring domestic staff with them.) So if they do complain, they risk being deported.Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer, if they so choose, is what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the。

Making a Good ImpressionFirst impression is always the most important thing when you meet a stranger.It takes just a quick glance, maybe3seconds, for someone to understand you whenyou meet for the first time. In this short time, the other person forms an opinion about you based on your appearance,your manners and even your behaviors that tell them what type of person you are and your characteristics.So, whether they are in your career or social life, it’s important to know how to create a good first impression.To make a good impression,we have to have deep confidence in ourselves.If you are calm and confident, the other personwill feel more at ease and this makes a solid foundation of a good first impression. The next thing is your appearance.Although physical appearance seems to be more important nowadays, don't get upset if you are not born prettyorhandsome.Try presenting yourself appropriately, start with the way you dress.Dress for occasions, do not dress for your own mood.Make sure that you look clean and tidy as this helpsto make a good impression.Well, the most important thing is a smile.“Smile and the world smiles too.” A warm and confident smile will put both you and the other person at ease.Youhave to look sincere and true while you are smiling.When it comes to making the first impression, body language as well as appearance speaks much louder than words.Thus, stand tall, smile (of course), make eye contact, greet with a firm handshake. All of this will help you project confidence and encourage both you and the other person feel better at ease.Conversations should be short and sweet.Don't talk non-stop as this makes the other person bored. Try to find something common between the two of you to talk so as to keep it flowing.Your attitude is also what counts in a good impression.Stay positive,politeand don't start criticizing people or makeironiccomments because this will spoil your image.1.1.1 5.0First impression is one of the most important things when it comes to making contact with others.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.2 5.0If you don’t leave a good impression on the other person, he may not want to make deep contact with you.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.3 5.0It may just take 3 seconds for the other person to know you at your first meeting.• aTrue• bFalseNot Given1.1.4 5.0Your appearance,manners and even behaviorscan tellwhat type of person you are.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.5 5.0Confidence in oneself isn’t important in making a good impression.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.6 5.0Keeping calm and confident will contribute to leaving a good first impression on the other party.• aTrueFalse• cNot Given1.1.7 5.0The writer tells readers not be disappointed even if they are not good-looking because physical appearance is not important at all.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.8 5.0According to this passage, you can dress yourself based on your own mood.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.9 5.0When it comes to making the first impression, body language is not as important as spoken language.True• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.10 5.0If you talk too much, the other person will feel bored and tired.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given2.阅读选择2.1 25.0阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

六、完型补文(第41-50题,每题1.5分,共15分)下面的短文有10处空白,每处空白后的括号内有一个词,请根据短文内容将其正确的形式填入文中,以恢复文章原貌,并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一套The Power of LanguageLanguage is something that defines (define) us as humans. When language is __41__ (use) well, it can bring out very deep feelings in others, and encourages others to take __42__ (act). Sometimes is poetry a certain phrase can bring __43__ (tear) to the eyes and move us deeply. When we use language to express our true feelings to someone, it can open and ____(deep) the connection between us. Language is a very __45__ (power) tool. How we use language shapes our world. How we use self-talk __46__ (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world. How we deliver __47__ (communicate) shapes the way the world__48__ (respond) to us. We can use language more __49__ (effective). And this clearly influences the health and power of our __50__ (person) relationships and business relationships.第二套Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming (dream) about a terrible plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) long before. Will you get on the plane?A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream willprobably influence your ___42___ (thought) during the journey. You may feel ____43___ (worry) and find the trip much ___44___ (long) than before. So dreams may influence what we are ___45__ (real) doing while we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) ___46___ (clear) area. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influence our ____47___ (behave)? Over the past few years, they have ___48___ (do)studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some ____49___ (hide) truths: dreams affect the way people live and work. But researchers also tell people not to be ___50___ (easy) influenced by their dreams.第三套Labor Market DeclineThe decline of the labor market is easy to misinterpret (interpret). There are many reasons for that. During the 1970s, large numbers of women and young adults 41 (bear) during the baby boom entered into the work force. That 42 ( result) in too many workers for the jobs available and depressed wages. The decline also has something to do with the explosive 43 ( grow) in world trade since 1960. As44 .( manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, production jobs have45 (move) from the U. S. to countries where wages are low. In 46 (add),technology itself has helped to cause the shifts in the job market. For example, 47 (few) American workers are needed to make steel today than in the past, because new 48 ( machine) have made many of their tasks 49 (necessary). Finally, the high rate of 50 (employment) caused by these factors has tended to drive wages down further.第四套V oice and Text ChattingV oice chat and text chat are quickly(quick)becoming preferred ways of communicating with others online.For language 41 (learner), these forms of communication 42 (able)them to share ideas about themselves and the world in almost real time. They can establish friendships with people from around the globe. Thus, it can be an easy way to learn languages and world 43 (culture).However, care and consideration should be 44 (give)when you are looking for friends on the Internet because you 45 (real)don’t know who the person is at the other end. Thus, never give out personal information 46 (include)your name,age,where you live, and the name of the school you attend. Also, be 47 (care)about meeting online acquaintances in person, and if you do so, make sure it is in a public place and go with a friend or a family member. 48 (final), contact local authorities if you feel you are in danger. Again, chatting with others can be anenjoyable and 49 (education)activity if you use care when 50 (do)so.第五套Be GratefulWhether you are a waiter (wait) or a doctor, your job is about serving others and making their life better, We have all __41__ (have) experiences where someone__42__(work) in their job has lifted us up and made a __43__(different) to our day or brought us down and made our day worse. We have all met __44__ (real) wonderful people cleaning floors. We have also met people who are not so wonderful but have __45__ (amaze) jobs. So whatever you do, be grateful. This doesn't mean you have to stay in a job you don't like, but it __46__ (help) you develop a more positive attitude. You may not like your job, but you can enjoy being with your __47__ (colleague). This is something to be __48__ (thank) for. When yon practice __49__ (grateful) it allows you to develop a more useful outlook and be __50__ (happy) at your work.第六套Silent ListeningIf something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do? Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it? Would you offer supportor advice? According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job. The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else. The results were a little 46 (surprise). Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it. The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend. So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.第七套Self-reliance(自立)Everyone has heard (hear) the word“self-reliance”. Emerson wrote a 41 (fame) essay about it.

By making mistakes you then can distinguish between the correct and the (47 )(correct) portions of what you did. AnthonyD’Angelo said: “In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what to do the next time.” And Robert Louis Stevenson eve n (48 )(go) to the extreme as to say: “Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good (49 ) (spirit).”You needn't worry about anything as long as you keep on going by(50) (wise) learning from your mistakes and trying even harder.第九套Many people think bats look .frightening(frighten).

第一套Farms Appear in CitiesWhen you hear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops. But scientists say the farm of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouse. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings—called vertical farming(垂直农业)—can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperature.That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.1.The word “farm” may make you think of the countryside.A.TrueB. FalseC.

Just put on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run.One of the best things about the sport of running is that you don’t need expensive equipment. All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But don’t be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. It requires discipline and concentration.Running is good for you both physically and mentally. It strengthens your heart, lungs, and muscles. It makes you more aware of your body. Running also improves your body so that you don’t get sick as easily. It can even help you to stay more focused in school because exercise helps you to think more clearly.How do you get engaged in the sport if you don’t know much about it? Most schools offer running programs. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be forfun. They also teach runners to set practical goals and take care of their bodies.Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you’ll see people cheering for all the runners. Running isn’t always about how fast you are running or how far you’re going. It’s about getting out there and doing it.

I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, l found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me.I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “ The Airport, please,” he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments,he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?”“It’ s OK,”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“ What do you do?” I asked.“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”Many times during long rides, l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help,”Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn't answer. “I have a son,15,a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “ Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record. ”He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.Near graduating from college, Robbie applied to and was admitted to New York MedicalCollege.

Not Given第四套Using Music to Change Your MoodEveryone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds is boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now let’s examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly(任意地)select thesongs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn’t suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?What you’ll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you’ll end up feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists, For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don’t listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups(分手)by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don’t. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.One can benefit from all kinds of music.A. TrueB. FalseC.

While people have heard of Black Friday; most do not know its origins. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节).On this day most retail stores open their doors very early some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday.Black Friday is not as ok! as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black. Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stoics made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores.Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online.

This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill”. Richard started Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money.” The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. This is like a television marathon (马拉松)that shows some of the events of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day,you will know why you find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!

Not Given第七套Being “Cool”in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, they will live healthier and more productive lives than the “Cool”kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having”cool” behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool”and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s.Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool” kids, by age 22,did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called “cool” behavior is a predictor(预示)of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn’t worry too much if their kids don’t seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many “uncool” kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.1. Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.A. TrueB. FalseC.

Not Given第八套The Thinking Habit That Changed My LifeI remember one evening three years ago, when my life was very different. 1 was overweight. I was deeply in debt. I was a smoker. I felt hopeless and helpless.I couldn’t change anything.Then I looked up at the sky and thought what a miracle life is. And I resolved to list the good things in my life. I had a wonderful wife. 1 had five amazing children. I could sec and appreciate the beauty of the world around me. The list went on, but you get the idea. Even when things seemed terrible for me, actually I was OK.That night I resolved to be grateful for what I had, and for the people in my life. I started the habit of gratitude. Now many people consider it unimportant. I'm here to tell you that it's very important. It changes lives.Now I appreciate my wife Eva more. I feel good about having her in my life. And we have deepened our relationship. I also appreciate my kids more. Instead of criticizing them, I tend to notice their loveliness, curiosity and humor.to others around me, at work and everywhere else, because instead of seeing the faults in everyone, I see the good, and am grateful for them. I need less,because instead of thinking about what I don't have, I am grateful for what I do have. Each and every moment becomes cause for gratitude, and life becomes easier.Without the habit of gratitude, we tend to complain and see the bad in people and things. We can't change that at once, but you can do something. For example, you can start with a small action. Really feel the happiness that something o someone is in your life, or take a moment to make a list of the things in your life that you're thankful for.1.I was unhappy with my life three years ago.A.

They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervousThe first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult but she would give us new "tools" and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was different, and that we would not see high scores soon. Everything you do in class matters, "she said. "As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect.Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question. So in class I kept silent most of the time and couldn't follow her. When got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and how to use the "tools" in my writing. As I still didn't dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person, I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behind everything Mrs. Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.1.

At the same time, agrowing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep upTechnology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modern farm life is in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever1.

第一套The Power of LanguageLanguage is something that defines (define) us as humans. When language is __41__ (use) well, it can bring out very deep feelings in others, and encourages others to take __42__ (act). Sometimes is poetry a certain phrase can bring __43__ (tear) to the eyes and move us deeply. When we use language to express our true feelings to someone, it can open and ____(deep) the connection between us. Language is a very __45__ (power) tool. How we use language shapes our world. How we use self-talk __46__ (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world. How we deliver __47__ (communicate) shapes the way the world__48__ (respond) to us. We can use language more __49__ (effective). And this clearly influences the health and power of our __50__ (person) relationships and business relationships.第二套Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming (dream) about a terrible plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) long before. Will you get on the plane?A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream will probably influence your ___42___ (thought) during the journey. You may feel ____43___ (worry) and find the trip much ___44___ (long) than before. So dreams may influence what we are ___45__ (real) doing while we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) ___46___ (clear) area. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influence our ____47___ (behave)Over the past few years, they have ___48___ (do) studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some ____49___ (hide) truths: dreams affect the way people live and work. But researchers also tell people not to be ___50___ (easy) influenced by their dreams.第三套Labor Market DeclineThe decline of the labor market is easy to misinterpret (interpret). There are many reasons for that. During the 1970s, large numbers of women and young adults 41 (bear) during the baby boom entered into the work force. That 42 ( result) in too many workers for the jobs available and depressed wages. The decline also has something to do with the explosive 43 ( grow) in world trade since 1960. As 44 .( manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, production jobs have 45 (move) from the U. S. to countries where wages are low. In 46 (add), technology itself has helped to cause the shifts in the job market. For example, 47 (few) American workers are needed to make steel today than in the past, because new 48 ( machine) have made many of their tasks 49 (necessary). Finally, the high rate of 50 (employment) caused by these factors has tended to drive wages down further.第四套Voice and Text ChattingVoice chat and text chat are quickly(quick)becoming preferred ways of communicating with others online.For language 41 (learner), these forms of communication 42 (able)them to share ideas about themselves and the world in almost real time. They can establish friendships with people from around the globe. Thus, it can be an easy way to learn languages and world 43 (culture).However, care and consideration should be 44 (give)when you are looking for friends on the Internet because you 45 (real)don’t know who the person is at the other end. Thus, never give out personal information 46 (include)your name,age,where you live, and the name of the school you attend. Also, be 47 (care)about meeting online acquaintances in person, and if you do so, make sure it is in a public place and go with a friend or a family member. 48 (final), contact local authorities if you feel you arein danger. Again, chatting with others can be an enjoyable and 49 (education)activity if you use care when 50 (do)so.第五套Be GratefulWhether you are a waiter (wait) or a doctor, your job is about serving others and making their life better, We have all __41__ (have)experiences where someone __42__(work) in their job has lifted us up and made a __43__(different) to our day or brought us down and made our day worse. We have all met __44__ (real) wonderful people cleaning floors. We have also met people who are not so wonderful but have __45__ (amaze) jobs. So whatever you do, be grateful. This doesn't mean you have to stay in a job you don't like, but it __46__ (help) you develop a more positive attitude. You may not like your job, but you can enjoy being with your __47__ (colleague). This is something to be __48__ (thank) for. When yon practice __49__ (grateful) it allows you to develop a more useful outlook and be__50__ (happy) at your work.第六套Silent ListeningIf something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it Would you offer support or advice According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, ., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job.The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else. The results were a little 46 (surprise). Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like thefriend not to do it. The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend. So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.第七套Self-reliance(自立)Everyone has heard (hear) the word“self-reliance”. Eme rson wrote a 41 (fame) essay about it. He felt that people should trust in their own 42 (able). They should think and act for themselves. Like many such 43 (term),也is one had no real meaning for me until it was 44 (demonstrate) to me in real life.Last year I met a blind girl 45 (name) Gail. She was 46 _ (extreme)slender and weak, but she always insisted on _ 47 (find) her way around the school by herself. when she 48 (sit) in a room with several of us, there was sometimes a(n) _ 49 (easy) silence, because we thought she might resent our acting too cheerfuland thoughtless in her 50 (present). On such occasions,she would say something casual or show us how fast she could write. She never asked for anyone’s pity. She truly relied on herself.第八套Don’t Be Afraid of Making MistakesLost of people don t dare to make mistakes (mistake). Theyfear that they will be ridiculed or (41)(blame) by others. They fear that they will lose their money and belongings or be under a lot of stress. But risks are (42) (actual) unavoidable and they do pave the way towards success. Have you ever (43) (hear) of someone who achieves success without making any mistakes before?So it is (44)(nature) that making mistakes in your effort to reach your dreams is (45 )(consider) a must, and you shouldn’t worry about that as you may get a lot of (46 )(advantage) out of your mistakes. By making mistakes you then can distinguish between thecorrect and the (47 )(correct) portions of what you did. AnthonyD’Angelo said: “In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what to do the next time.” And Robert Louis Stevenson eve n (48 )(go) to the extreme as to sa y: “Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good (49 ) (spirit).”You needn't worry about anything as long as you keep on goingby(50) (wise) learning from your mistakes and trying even harder.第九套Many people think bats look .frightening(frighten). But research has41 (show)us that bats are kind animals. The way they live 42(provide)a great deal of help to humans and other 43 (live)things.Bats are gentle and loving Mother bats sleep with their wings around their 44 (baby) to protect them, and will move them to_45(safe) if they seem to be 46(threaten)in any way. Just like other animals, adult bats help their children find 47(suit) food to eat.Bats are 48 (help), too. Some bats eat insects. Just one brownbat can eat 49 (near)600 insects in one hour! Besides, many species are even dependent on bats for their 50 (survive). Therefore, batsare really friendly.第十套Workplace English LearningEnglish plays(play)an important role in the workplace. When__41__ (use) correctly and appropriately, it will be __42__(help) in developing a career or a business. Some may need or want to study business English before they start their __43__ (career). Those who are already __44__(work) have the opportunity to see what they can and cannot do __45__ (effective)with English in their current jobA __46__ (value)skill to have in business is how to negotiate. You need to know what you want, as well as how to bargain and make concessions (让步). Being able to deal with a conflict and __47__ (know) how to end negotiations can make a big __48__ (different)to the outcomeWorkplace English learning will encourage __49__ (profession) and efficientcommunication.

Without the cost of paper, e-book saves money and as well protects the forest to some degree. Since e-book can be read on your telephone, so it can make your boring time enjoy. For example, when you wait for a bus, you could readsomething for fun.However, some other people argue that"It is true e-book has its own advantages, but it does not mean that paper book can be replaced completely."Reading paper books has a long history and became a tradition. People are accustomed to read a good paper book to relax themselves. In addition, paper books do little harm to our eyes.Personally, I prefer to the paper book. Though the technology is developing at a fast speed and improves our life a lot, we should keep some traditional habits to balance our life in today’s fast pace society.第三套答案My HobbyEveryone has hobbies because they are very important in our life. I also have hobbies. Now let me tell you my hobbies. Exercise is one of my hobbies. The more exercise I do, the healthier I will be.

Exercise is one of the most active and effective means to enhance the physical health.Secondly,playing sports is a good way to relax. When you are upset, sports may pull you out from depression.

The basic measures is reducing fuel-powered vehicles. To prevent and control air pollution, government policy is the useful hand, individual self-discipline is more importance.

There is a lot of people watch movies together in the movie theater,so,the atmosphere must be more vivid.But I think,watching movies at home,is our best choice.First of all.we feel comfortable to watch a movie at home. We can save a lot of transporting time on the way. Second, getting together at home to watch movies will make us enjoy more freedom. You can eat, and are able to talk to each other about the actor/actress in the film, how amazing they are, which may seem impolite in such a public place like cinema. Besides, if you watch movie at home, the price of the tickets will never bother you.In my opinion, I prefer to watch a movie at home, with my hot tea and comfort able bed, having a good time.Yours Like第八套答案Dear Tom,This summer vacation our group plan to be a volunteer.
