AOdland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can not get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It is OK. I t wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, i t seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard toget a dozen CEOs to agree about anything , but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management. “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”21. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman comforted him.D. The woman left the restaurant at once.22. Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________.A. his experience as a waiterB. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in FortuneD. an interesting best-selling book23. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Management RulesC. Swanson’s bookD. the Waiter Rule24. From the text we can learn that ________.A. one should be nicer to important peopleB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should respect others no matter who they areD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsBHave you ever played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!Like many other teenage boys, Jones loved sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight a trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may catch up with the football game by the end of summer.Jones chose the popular dance revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10!The health study is being done by an insurance company, which hopes that game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims (肥胖索赔) last year cost us $77 million. We have to cut those costs”, said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console (游戏主机), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study.The study is more than commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals.In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis ofchildhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.Researchers are looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game.A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video game in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination, and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games.The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such a game to dance away your extra weight?25. The underlined part is trying to tell us __________.A. the study is more important than the money of the insurance companyB. the study is only an insurance company’s businessC. the study involved many insurance companiesD. it’s not only the insurance company that is concerned about the study26. It can be inferred that __________.A. in West Virginia 25% of the children were too fatB. the government and society think highly of the gameC. the teacher is a success in using the video gameD. th e US Education Department is promoting the game all over the country27. The most suitable title for the passage is ___________.A. Dance Away Your WeightB. Play the Video Dance GameC. Solve the Problem of ObesityD. A Magic Video Dance GameCIn 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food? ”Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there’s not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence—an experimental psycholo gist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching - green fruits can become sweets they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?28.

The underlined words “is dyed” in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to “_______”.A. is eaten upB. has grown upC. is changed in colorD. is harmful toDDoes handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr.James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.32. What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?A. Handwriting is not very important to children.B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.33. What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.B. How we write is as important as what we write.C. Children create ideas and remember information.D. A group of students should know what to write.34. Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.C. Type the image directly on a computer.D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.35. According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.A. is forB. is againstC. is responsible forD. doesn’t care about第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
