Its promoter was an Irish-American labor leader named Peter J. McGuire. A carpenter by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of 11, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners(UBCJ).Approaching the City’s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud(赞许) “the industrial spirit—the great vital force of every nation” .On September 5 his suggestion bore fruit, as estimated 10,000 workers, manyof them ignoring their bosses’ warnings, left work to march from Union square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor.. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of “progress and poverty”. In a society in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to “wage slavery”and anarchists(无政府主义) singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite (炸药)，middle-of –the-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.11. Judging from the passage, McGuire was________.A. a moderate labor leaderB. an extreme-anarchist in the labor movementC. a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by manD. a firm anti-capitalist demanding the elimination(解放)of wage slavery12. We can see from the first paragraph that the first Labor Day march_________.A. immediately won nationwide supportB. involved workers from 30 statesC. was opposed by many factory ownersD. was organized by the UBCJ13. Which of the following is the key factor in the immediate approval of Labor as a national holiday\lawmakers’ respect for the workers.workers’ determination to have a holiday of their own. socialists’ demands for though reform.politicians’ fear of the workers’ anger.learn from the passage that the establishment of Labor Day________.A. was accepted by most bosses as a compromiseB. marked a turning point in the workers’struggle for most rightsC．indicated the improvement of the workers’ welfareD. signaled the end of “wage slavery”15 McGuire proposed Labor Day in order to_______.A. draw people’s attention to the striking contrast between the rich and the poorB. make prominent the important role of the working class in societyC. win for the workers the right to shorten working hoursD. expose the exploitation of the workers by their bosses Passage 2New technology links the world as never before. Our planethas shrunk. It’s now a “global village ”where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link, And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being“out of sight and out of mind”.He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications. Even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business.But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language.. A second language isn’t generally requiredto get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know whenit is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home officewho can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.16. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipmentA. CriticalB. PrejudicedC. IndifferentD. Positive17. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment. Business people________.A. have to get familiar with modern technologyB. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operationsC. are attaching more importance to their overseas businessD. are eager to work overseas18. In this passage.“out of sight and out of mind”probably means_____.A. being unable to think properly for lack of insightB. being totally out of touch with business at homeC. missing opportunities for promotion when abroadD. leaving all care and worry behind19. According to the passage. An important consideration of international corporations in employing people today is _______.A. connection with businesses overseasB. ability to speak the client’s languageC. technical know-howD. business experience20. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can____.A. better control the whole negotiation processB. easily find new approaches to meet market needsC. fast-forward their proposals to headquartersD. easily make friends with business people abroadPassage 3Stress may be defined as the response of the body to any demand. Whenever people experience something pleasant or unpleasant. We say they are under stress. We call the pleasant kind“eustress(n.良性压力,愉快的压力)”and the unpleasant kind “distress”.People sometimes compare our lives with that of the cavemen(穴居人)，who didn’t have to worry about the stockmarket or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cavemen worried about being eaten by a bear or about dying of hunger- - - things that few people worry about today. It’s not that people suffer more stress today. It’s just that they think they do.It is unbelievable that anyone should have no stress at all. Most people who are ambitious(有雄心的)and want to accomplish something, live no stress .They need it. But excessive stress is by all means harmful. Worse, chronic(长期的) exposure to stress over long time may cause more serious diseases and may actually shorten one’s life.The most frequent causes of distress in man are psychological- - -lack of adaptability(适应的)，not having a code of behavior. So the secret of coping with stress is not to do what you like to do and what you were made to do, at your own rate. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to behave in various situations. The most important thing is to have a code of life, to know how to live.21.
