Now many Americans say quitting work is an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life’s chief satisfactions for people.Consider Berry Fowler. In 1979 Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1987-a multimillionaire at 41. He bought a house in Hawaii, and had a long vacation there.But after five years of vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992 he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week buried in balance sheet. “My best days on the golf course weren’t half as much fun as a good day at the office,” he says.A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H. Roy Kaplan surveyed 139 millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they had become a millionaire.Atlanta native Stephen Belcher started driving a cab 14 years ago. Since then, he’s returned lost wallets, helped travelers in difficulty and driven elderly people to their doctors without charge. Belcher’s pride in his work soon caught the eye of other cabbies. Before long, Belcher was elected the chairman of a very big local Taxi company. And he still drivesa cab full time. “I like to think of myself as an ambassador for the city,” Belcher says.1.According to the first paragraph, many Americans believe that _________.A.you would be rich because you quit your jobB.you could quit your job if you became richC.you could be rich if you did not quit your jobD.you would know the reason of quitting a job2.After five years of retirement for vacation, Fowler felt that__________A.vacation was not necessary for peopleB.working in office was always funC.vacation was not good to healthy peopleD.working was more important than a vacation3.In paragraph 4, the survey by the sociologist implies that _________.A.money obviously means happinessB.more work brings more moneyC.money is not the only reason to have a jobD.work should be continued after success4.The word “cabbies” in the last paragraph means ________.A.taxi driversB. customersC. policemenD. officials5.The best title for this passage may be _______.A.working and happinessB.vacation and workingC.working and successD.money and workingPassage 2The standardized educational or psychological tests, which are widely used to aid in selecting, assigning or promoting students, employees and military personnel, have been the target of recent attacks in books, magazines, the daily press, and even in Congress. The target is wrong, for, in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools. Whether the results will be valuable, meaningless, or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user.All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance. How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error.Standardized tests should be considered in this context: they provide a quick, objective method of getting some kind of information about what a person has learned, the skills he has developed, or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has, qualitatively, the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information. Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the empirical evidence concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability.In general, the tests work most effectively when the traits or qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined ( for example, ability to do well in a particular course of training program ) and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicted cannot be well defined, for example, personality or creativity. Properly used, they provide a rapid means of getting comparable information about many people. Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized.6. In this passage, the author is primarily concerned with _________.A. the necessity of standardized testsB. the validity of standardized testsC. the method used in interpreting the results of standardized tests.D. the theoretical grounds of standardized tests.7. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. standardized tests should no longer be used.B. results of standardized tests accurately reflect the abilities of the testeesC. the value of standardized tests lies in their proper interpretationD. special methods must be applied to the result of standardized tests.8. The word “empirical” (Line 6, Para.3) most probably means “ ___________”A. theoreticalB. criticalC. indisputableD. experiential9. According to the passage, standardized tests work most effectively when ________.A. the user knows how to interpret the results in advance.B. the objectives are most clearly defined.C. the persons who take the test are intelligent or skillful.D. they measure the traits or qualities of the tests10. The author’s attitude toward standardized tests could be described as _______.A. positiveB. criticalC. prejudicedD. indifferent.Passage 3Everywhere we’ve traveled we’ve been asked, “Can we achieve an advanced, high-technology economy-and still stay Chinese? Or Mexican? Or Russian? Must nations surrender their cultural uniqueness to the next wave of technological and social change?”If, in fact, Web-televiewers some day will be able to pick up a Brazilian variety show, a polish newscast, a Yogoslavian cartoon and a Japanese soap opera, all translated into the local language; if fashions and foods come from several different countries and if religious ideas come in from many different parts of the world, what happens to the original culture? Can any nation keep its identity under this large amount of foreign images and ideas?Are all destined to melt into the so-called “global village” with all the same qualities and shared experience of villagers?Where economic development is still based on the export of cheap muscle labour and mass production, the answer may be “perhaps”. Low-tech mass production societies need low-tech mass media.But where economies move beyond the assembly line and the traditional manufacturing techniques to the new, knowledge-based forms of wealth creation, the answer will be a strong “no”.The Chinese can remain uniquely Chinese by choosing, from all the elements of world culture, selection of ideas, images and knowledge. The combination chosen by China will be different from that chosen by France or Germany or the United States. In this sense, the Chinese will be totally, unmistakably Chinese-not French, German or American. But they will no longer be the Chinese of the past. They will be the Chinese of the future. In short,despite the near-term dominance of the producers of mass culture like Disney, the long-term future of culture is not a situation where all cultures seem the same but an immense, complex and valuable mixture of individual national traditions, fashions, and beliefs.11.What’s the main idea of this passage?rmation technologies bring us into a “global village”.B.People from different cultures can share many things on the Internet.C.In spite of information technologies, different cultures remain different.D.People enjoy watching foreign shows and eating foreign foods.12.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The world is going to be a “global village” which all people will enjoy.B.The assembly line is one feature of low-tech mass production society.C.The assembly line is to share the same culture all over the world.D.Web-televiewers will enable us to set up a “global village”.13.The passage implies that _______.A.Technological and social change always brings about change in cultureB.Culture always brings about technological and social changeC.Technological and social change never brings about change in cultureD.Culture never brings about technological and social change14.The passage suggests that high-tech developments brings about ________.A.More influence on culture in a developed society than in a developing oneB.Less influence on culture in a developed society than in a developing societyC.As great an influence on culture in a developed society as in a developingsocietyD.No influence on culture at all in either a developed or a developing society15.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A.IT enables people to get easy access to foreign cultures.B.People in different cultures have different ideas of accepting differentcultures.C.Disney is an example of a combination of different cultures.D.There won’t be a “global village”.Passage 4There are some points which are particularly important to remember when we are doing business with the Japanese. First of all, age is a very important factor. Japanese managers, for instance, are much older than American managers. So many American companies fail in doing business with the Japanese by sending men far too young to conduct business negotiations in Japan with their Japanese counterparts, who could be their fathers! It is quite an insult to the Japanese.The next point to be remembered is the use of business cards. The business card is not a simple piece of paper in Japan. Every business encounter starts with the exchange of business cards. The business card represents the person himself. You should receive it and study it with great care, when it is given to you. The first thing you should do as soon as you’ve arrived in Japan is to have 200 business cards printed for yourself.The last point I want to draw your attention to is about business meetings or negotiations. First of all, don’t talk too much. Japan’s culture is essentially a non-verbal one. And don’t expect the Japanese businessmen to answer you with a clear “yes”or “no”. It often takes a long time to make a decision, or to arrive at a solution.16.In the sixth line of the first paragraph, “counterparts”stands for a group ofpeople who ________.A.conduct business abroadB.participate in negotiationC.represent the other partyD.cooperate with another company17.In negotiating with Japanese businessmen, Americans must take _________into serious consideration.A.experienceB. rankC. ageD. ability18.What do we know about business cards in Japan?A.People have different business cards.B.Businessmen have about 200 business cardsC.The business card is a simple piece of paperD.People take business cards seriously19.According to the passage, in negotiations Japanese businessmen are used to_________.A.giving indefinite answersB.talking too muchC.making quick decisionsD.drawing hasty conclusions20.The passage is written in order to __________.A.explain the cultural differencesB.offer American businessmen advicement on American’s failure in doing businessD.analyze difficulties in doing business in JapanPart III Cloze.
