研究生基础综合英语2A_AWeddingGift第一篇：研究生基础综合英语2A_A Wedding GiftA Wedding GiftElizabeth EconomouI had always dreamed of being proposed to in a Parisian cafe, under dazzling stars, like the one in a Van Gogh knockoff that hangs in my studio apartment.Instead, my boyfriend asked me to marry him while I was Windexing the bathroom mirror.At 40 years old, it was my turn.I had gracefully stepped aside and watched both my twin sister and our baby sister take the matrimonial plunge before me.I had been a bridesmaid seven times and a maid of honor three times.I had more pastel-colored, taffeta dresses than a consignment shop.My fiancé, George, and I are Greek-American, but we wanted a simple, elegant affair.No entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen.No silly slideshow revealing details of our courtship.This would be an intimate gathering, neither big nor fat, with 100 or so guests.In our families that is intimate.My job as a publicist to a monomaniacal orchestra conductor had just vanished, so I had lots of time to devote to my new project.George, who worked 60 hours a week as a pharmacist, now had a second job: listening to me whine about the wedding.After all, this was my show, and I was the director.But the more time and effort I put in, the more the universe tried to thwart me.The Greek band from Los Angeles that I wanted wasn't available.The stitching i had requested for my cathedral veil was all wrong.My ivory silk gown was being quarantined somewhere in Singapore.And with our wedding just a few weeks away, I was annoyed that most of my guests were responding after the deadline.Then I received the call from mymother, petite and brimming with energy at 68, who a few days before had been so thrilled a bout the wedding.She’d been to the doctor for her annual checkup.Although she felt fine, the diagnosis was stomach cancer.Over the next few days, the question became not “What kind of wedding?” but “Wedding?” I had thought of it as my Big Day.I realized th at a Big Day without my mother would be no day at all.Not having my dad, who passed away three years before, to walk me down the aisle was painful, but the thought of not having Mom there was unbearable.Within a few days, I moved back home to Seattle from New York City and postponed the ceremony.I switched from navigating wedding plans to navigating the health-care system.I had picked out the song to be played for our first dance as a husband and wife, but now I was hard-pressed to remember what it was.My wedding, like a dream, was vanishing against the harsh reality of illness.Meanwhile, my two sisters and I, who lived in three different cities, were united once again in a hospital waiting room.My twin sister flew in from Chicago despite being eight months pregnant.Our baby sister, who'd been looking after Mom since Dad's death, was gripped by fear as the familiar sights and smells were eerily reminiscent of his final days.After consulting with doctors, we learned that stomach surgery was Mom's only option.We took the first opening.On a drab autumn morning, as sheets of rain relentlessly poured over Seattle, Mom was admitted to the Swedish Cancer Institute.During a five-hour operation, surgeons removed two thirds of her stomach.Pacing in the waiting room, terrified, I wondered what the future held for all of us.George flew out to be with me.“There's no place I'd rather be,” he said.For three nights heslept on the dank floor in the hospital waiting area wrappedin a tattered sheet with a soiled sofa cushion under his head.A week after the operation, the surgeon gave us his prognosis: “The cancer has not spread,” he said.Those were some of the loveliest words in the English language.George squeezed my hand as tears trickled down my face.The weeks that followed were exhausting.My mother had to rethink her diet, and I had to figure out what to prepare.Decadent Greek meals were replaced by tiny portions and lots of protein, which would help mend the six-inch incision that ran from her breastbone past her navel.Protein would also bolster her immune system for the chemo and radiation that might follow.Until then, my idea of cooking had been microwaving the doggie bag from the chi-chi restaurant I'd eaten at the night before.But after two months, I mastered poached eggs and T-bone steaks.What's more, caring for my Mom made me realize how consummately she had cared for all of us.I'll never forget when I went to see her in the intensive-care unit, just a few hours after her surgery.She was strung out with a myriad of plastic tubes protruding from her arms, nose, and mouth.“Liz, make sure you eat something,” she said in a strained, raspy voice.Forget Paris.Mom's full recovery was my dream now.Recently, she went for a follow-up C-T scan.As she removed her gold wed-ding band for the exam, her fragile 98-pound frame trembled.There would be this scan, and many more.But the doctor said, “Everything looks good.” Soon, my mother will be walking me down the aisle.I've forgotten what kind of stitching is in my veil.But when I remove it from my face, I'll be staring at the two people I love beyond all reason: my soon-to-be husband and the woman who showed me what's really important.第二篇：研究生基础英语Task1Dear Chau,I am writing to recommend you to improve the management in your company.We can see from our investigation of your company that themanagement of your company is not so good.Now I want to talk about some..The first promblem is that We have found that the managers of subsidiaries complain that they are unpaid which make them demotived and feel their contribution to the group’s profit is undervalued.Many managers thought they should deserve much more.As for this point, I think we can carry on some measures, such as welfare politic or financial assistance to their children.We can also create much more challenges to make full advantage of their ability.The other problem is there still many managers are complaining about their little share in the company.So the most important problem is to deal with the share between managers and your company.Maybe you could give your managers a share in the profits of subsidiary, how about 5% to 10% share, and you can put it forward on the board of directors to further discussion.The third problem is that all the mangers reported that they did not have enough freedom of action.Even every manager thought they were controlled much by group in many areas, such as the finance, pay and sources of materials.To settle this problem,we suggest that the head office would take some useful steps to expand their potential markets, for example, you can give them enough funds and technology supports and train their employees as long as they have a better performance compared with the last month.So, the above contains some promblems and suggestions on the management of your company.We hope that our suggestions can help you to improve your management of your company more or less.Yours Jeams2013.10.24第三篇：研究生综合英语选择题Unit 1 1.My husband, because of his own professional（）, goes to Cambridge every week.A.judgments C.personalities B.criteria

It has become a popular platform for people to connect and share information. However, it also has its drawbacks. One major concern is the impact it has onour mental health.2. Social media platforms are designed to keep users engaged and addicted. The constant scrolling and exposure to carefully curated posts can lead tofeelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. People often compare themselves to others and feel pressured to present a perfect image online.3. Moreover, social media can be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and online harassment. People can hide behind screens and say hurtful things without facing immediate consequences. This can have a devastating effect on the mental well-being of the victims.4. Another issue is the loss of real-life connections. People spend so much time on social media that they may neglect face-to-face interactions. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can negatively impact mental health.5. To mitigate the negative effects of social media on mental health, it is important to set boundaries and limit screen time. Engaging in offline activities, such as hobbies or spending time with loved ones, can help maintain a healthy balance. Additionally, seeking support from friends, family, or professionals is crucial for those who are struggling with mental health issues.总结综合英语(二)习题答案的提供可以帮助学生们更好地学习和理解课程内容。

大综英语2 textA翻译+vocabulary+translation 的答案
unit 1(text A)学习方式1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。
我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。
由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。
本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。
他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。
由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。
本杰明一点也不在意。
他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。
他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。
但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。
饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。
他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。
然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。
我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。
因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。
两种不同的学习方式我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
”既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。
为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以 (也应该)示范给他看。

We ...er ... have a small problem ... all four engines have stopped.""We are doing our best to get them going again, and we trust you will not be given too much distress."Then the stricken Boeing 747 plunged earthwards at up to 2,000 feet a minute as the pilot struggled desperately with the controls.For Captain Eric Moody, 24 years a pilot, it was the understatement of theyear. The giant jet had just flown into a cloud of volcanic ash, putting all of its four Rolls-Royce engines out of action.Even as the 41-year-old pilot was fighting his life-or-death battle in the cramped cockpit to regain control of the damaged airliner, and trying to re assure his 239 passengers at the same time, the plane's cabin was filling with ash and smoke."It was coming out of the air vents," said Mr. Jerry Middleton, who was on his way from Kuala Lumpur to Perth. "I looked out to see an engine apparently on fi re, then all the engines stopped and we went into a steep dive. It seemed to go on for an eternity. Everybody was terrified. By the time we pulled out, everybody was almost on their knees praying.""All the captain told us at first was that the aircraft had met mild turbulence and that we were not to worry. But the oxygen masks dropped down and the emergency exit signs lit up and we knew it was more serious.”It was not until the plane had dropped 25,000 feet that Captain Moody was able to restart first one, then two, and finally all four engines as they cleared the bottom of the dust cloud which had starved the engines of oxygen and blocked them with choking ash.Back in Jakarta, where he managed to put the damaged jet down despite having its landing lights disabled in the dust storm, Captain Moody shrugged off the hero's welcome with typical British cool. "When it was all over I felt we had done a good job," he said, "It was all due to training and following instructions."The British Airways man in London was equally unemotional. Said Colin Barnes : "The crew did an absolutely splendid job in very difficult circumstances."A Boeing representative who examined the aircraft said, "It was the mostseriously damaged 747 to have kept flying that I have seen."46. What was the captain trying to keep from the passengers when he made hisannouncement?A. The plane was at the height of 38,000 feet.B. The plane was out of control.C. Some of the engines went wrong.D. Something was wrong with the engine, but not serious.47. The passengers were most afraid when .A. the plane's cabin was filled with smoke and ashB. they were on their knees prayingC. the oxygen masks droppedD. the plane was diving48. The engineer who examined the plane afterwards was surprised because .A. the pilot's flying skill was remarkableB. the plane was seriously damaged but had continued to flyC. he was emotionalD. all the passengers and crew were back safe and sound(B)It was just after 11 p.m. and David Cassidy was lying in the bath in a New York hotel when his world started to fall apart. Even though it's now ten years ago,3that moment is one he remembers all too vividly. He felt as though a lorryload of ice had been emptied into his bathtub.He remembers it so clearly because it was a day that had begun in such triumph. At that moment he was simply the biggest pop star in the world. There were millions of women who dreamed of him and he was worth around 20 million pounds. But the night ended in disaster and changed his life forever.His performance that evening was his hometown show -- for an audience of 20,000 in New York's famous Madison Square Garden. And right from the start h e knew something wasn't quite right. David says, "I was used to the audience getting hysterical but this time it was different. The entire building seemed to rumble with the emotions of that crowd. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.”Afraid for David's safety when he tried to leave the building, security men arranged for him to be wrapped in a blanket, dumped in the boot of an old car and driven to a cheap hotel in one of the poorer New York suburbs."The hotel was a real dive," David recalls, "It smelt disgusting and looked as though it had never been cleaned. I ran myself a hot bath, got in, lay back and then it hit me ... I was in a state of complete shock. One moment I had been performing in front of 20,000 people who all loved me -- 30 minutes later I was completely alone, in a dirty bathroom, with no money, no clothes to wear except a sweaty jumpsuit, absolutely nothing. And for the first time in my life, I digested my situation. I had plenty of time because I sat there, wrapped in a to wel, for three hours, waiting to be collected. I thought, this is it, this is what I have been working so hard for. The kids who couldn't afford to get into one of my concerts were far richer than me because at least they were having plenty of fun. I was h aving no fun at all.""I felt that I had to make a choice -- either my career had to go or I had to sacrifice my life to my work. That night in New York showed me that. Then soon after I was having dinner with John Lennon, who was just one of a handful of people who had experienced that sort of adulation. And he talked about how he became an ordinary guy, a family man, a father, and stopped being a living legend.""I owe quite a lot to that conversation -- it's the main reason I'm here today and have never felt better."49. The experience at a concert in New York made David Cassidy realize that.A. he was the biggest pop star worth 20 million poundsB. this was the life he had been enjoyingC. he would exchange his career for a normal lifeD. he didn't like the life he was living50. David Cassidy was obliged to John Lennon because .A. John shared with him his ideas on being a pop starB. John advised him to further his careerC. John told him what he'd done in the similar situationD. John was once a living legend, too51. "It hit me" in the 5th paragraph most probably means that .A. I was struck by something heavyB. It became clear to meC. Someone hit me in the bedD. I was totally unprepared for it(C)It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote. Some people think this is the main reason women are so under-represented in politics, trade unions and big businesses. Others feel it is simply that the y are much too busy doing other things. The old saying "a woman's place is in the home" may seem out of date to most people, but the old fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual -- one only has to watch a few television ads.In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work. Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it; but generally women do not do the same job;they do different ones that offer lower salaries. The areas women work in are almost all those of "service": teaching, nursing, catering and cleaning, jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role.Apart from looking after people during the day at work, women often have to take care of a family at home, too, which may mean they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development. In almost every field, top positions are more likely to be filled by men. While most teachers are women, for example, most headmasters are not. School cooks are women, head cooks are men and even cleaners tend to be watched over and directed by male caretakers.52. The first paragraph tells us thatA. women are not interested in politicsB. women have no right to voteC. a few TV ads suggest that a woman's place is in the homeD. there's a general belief that "a woman's place is in the home"53. According to the passage,A. women are doing the same jobs as menB. women generally do not do jobs which offer higher salariesC. women cannot compete with men professionallyD. top positions are exclusively for men54. The last word "caretaker" is closest in meaning toA. someone taking care of the cleanersB. someone hired to take care of an estateC. someone in charge of cookersD. head of cleanersSECTION B (11x2’=22’)F A S T R E A D I NG I n t h i s s e c t i o n, t h e r e a r e s e v e n p a s s a g e s f o r f a s tr e a d i n g w i t h11q u e s t i o n s.R e a d t h e q u e s t i o n(s)b e f o r e y o u s k i m o r s c a n t h e p a s s a g e i t s e l f t o f i n d t h e a n s w e r t o a q u e s t i o n.Y o u s h o u l d f i n i s h r e a d i n g t h e m i n f i v e m i n u t e s.Question 55 is based on Passage 155. Franklin became famous because he .A. made many inventions with electricity4B. invented stovesC. invented the lightning rodD. made the streets paved and lightedPASSAGE 1Franklin initiated many improvements in the city of Philadelphia, making it one of the world's first cities to have paved and lighted streets as well as a police force and a fire-fighting company. He also made many practical inventions such as the Franklin stove, which was a very efficient heater, and the lightning rod to protect buildings in electric storms. His scientific work with electricity earned Franklin world fame.Question 56 is based on Passage 256. Life was rough in the days of the gold rush, many of the settlers found .A. nothing and returned homeB. their riches and remained thereC. nothing but settled thereD. their roots therePassage 2Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having uprooted themselves from home and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they had found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary citizens without the riches they had dreamed of.Questions 57-58 are based on Passage 357. The public schools can be called .A. religious schoolsB. state schoolsC. private schoolsD. special schools58. Handicapped and retarded students might attend .A. college preparation schoolsB. vocational training schoolsC. specialized public schoolsD. commercial training schoolsPassage 3The public schools of the United States are not controlled by the national government nor by church authorities but by the local communities themselves, with state laws setting educational standards and ruling on compulsory attendance.By 1970, seventy-five percent of the youth were graduating from high school, and forty-five percent were beginning college or other post-high school study. With so much of the population attending school, education is necessarily diversified, to meet the students' various needs. Besides courses for college preparation, there are many kinds of commercial and vocational training. Students are also allowed achoice of subjects. Methods of teaching vary widely, too. In addition there are specialized public schools for the handicapped, for the retarded, and for those with other special needs, as well as accelerated and enriched courses for gifted students.Questions 59-60 are based on Passage 459. If living in a very hot part of the country, one would choose forthe colour of the walls.A. greenB. yellowC. redD. brown60. "Loud" and "quiet" colours give people .A. the same feelingsB. no feeling at allC. opposite feelingsD. cooler feelingsPASSAGE 4Colour is especially important because of its powerful effect on our feelings.For this reason, colours are sometimes called hot, cold, or neutral. Red and yellow are said to be hot colours because they make a room feel warmer and make the walls seem nearer to us than really are. We say that blue and green are cold because they give us the opposite feeling -- the room feels cooler and the walls seem to be farther away. A neutral colour is one that does not seem to affect our feelings. Brown and gray are both neutral, and they may also be mixed with hot or cold colours to reduce their effects on our feelings.Another way that we sometimes speak of colour is to say that it is loud or quiet. Again we are talking about feeling that the colour gives us. We use sound to express how much the colour catches our attention.Questions 61-62 are based on Passage 561. You would find something nonalcoholic to drink in the section ofA. SaladsB. BeveragesC. Hot SandwichesD. Side Orders62.

Briskly sketched.D. Having sentimental lapses.PASSAGE 6Jonathan Smith is establishing himself as a quietly effective novelist, and In Flight, his third novel, is a lively, poignant narrative about a young English academic who has left his wife waiting in Tennessee while he applies for a job at Bristol University. His June visit to England involves him with a boy who is dying of leukemia in his brother's hospital, with his sister-in-law and her affectionate little daughter and with their unhappily married friend Jane (whose monstrously chauvinist husband is briskly sketched).The story's pace is urgent, Richard's feelings are vividly registered, and although there are some sentimental lapses in the love affair ('For always is always now') the painfulness of the choices, the pressure of responsibilities not fully met, is acutely felt.Questions 65 are based on Passage 765. The word "exotic" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning toA. uniqueB. not nativeC. oddD. expressivePASSAGE 7A picture I have always liked is a small charcoal sketch by an artist calledMulready Stone. It doesn't have a name but it is a sketch of a street seen in Spain.A woman, dressed in peasant clothes, is leaning against a dark archway sellingapples. The apples are heaped in a basket by her feet. One of the reasons I like the sketch is the artist's attention to details: the expression in the woman's eyes, the fold of her dress and the odd apple lying in the gutter. His use of light and shade is also effective.In my opinion it is a very moving and beautiful sketch. It is also, in some ways, rather exciting and exotic. I can almost smell the foreign city and hear the foreign cries in my ears. It is a picture I can look at again and again, and always find something different init.PART V CLOZE (15 points: 15x1’=15’)In this section there is a passage with 15 blanks.

Reading Comprehension（30）Passage OneI'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.1. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are______.A) surprising B) confusing C) illogical D) questionable2. What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back" (Line 1, Para. 3)?A) It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.B) The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C) Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D) It's impossible to forget the past.3. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago____.A) were less isolated physicallyB) were probably less self-centeredC) probably suffered less from anxietyD) were considered less individualistic4. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is ____.A) to provide them with a safer environmentB) to lower their expectations for themC) to get them more involved sociallyD) to set a good model for them to follow5. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A) Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B) Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C) Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D) Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.Passage TwoIt is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints ( 约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle ( 小隔间) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip ( 筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.6. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should _____.A) demonstrate his capability B) give his boss a good impressionC) ask for as much money as he can D) ask for the salary he hopes to get7. What can be inferred from Beth's story?A) Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.B) If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.C) People should not be content with what they have got.D) People should be careful when negotiating for a job.8. We can learn from the passage that ____.A) unfairness exists in salary increasesB) most people are overworked and underpaidC) one should avoid overstating one's performanceD) most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises9. To get a pay raise, a person should______.A) advertise himself on the job marketB) persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC) try to get inside information about the organizationD) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions10. To be successful in negotiations, one must_____.A) meet his boss at the appropriate timeB) arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC) be good at influencing the outcome of the interactionD) be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikesPassage ThreeWhen families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware ( 粗陶) -and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television;Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette ( 礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.11. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in_____.A) bankruptcy of fine china manufacturersB) shrinking of the pottery industryC) restructuring of large enterprisesD) economic recession in Great Britain12. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?A) Family members need more time to relax.B) Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C) People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.D) Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.13. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is_____.A)a retailer of stainless steel tableware B) a dealer in stonewareC) a pottery chain store D) a producer of fine china14. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is_____.A) the increased value of the poundB) the economic recession in AsiaC) the change in people's way of lifeD) the fierce competition at home and abroad15. Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life_____.A) are still a must on certain occasionsB) axe bound to return sooner or laterC) are still being taught by parents at homeD) can help improve personal relationshipsIV Cloze( 20 )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.Letter 1Dear Ann,I am going to give a dinner party next month. I want my guests to enjoy themselves and to feel comfortable. What is the secret of giving a successful party?Letter 2Dear Mary，Cook something that would let you spend time with your guests，If a guest offers to help you in the kitchen，accept the offer. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help.Before serving dinner，while your guests make small talks in the living room，offer them drinks. Some guests may like wine，but make sure to provide soft drinks for people who don’t.At the dinner table，let your guests serve themselves. Offer them a second serving after they finish, but don’t ask more than once. Mos t guests will take more if they want.Perhaps the most important rule of all is to be natural. Treat your guests as you want them to treat you when you’re in their home—that is，act naturally toward them，and don’t try too hard to be polite. Have a good time in a pleasant atmosphere.41. From the first letter we learn that Mary ________ .A) is asking for advice on giving a dinner partyB) knows the secret of giving a pleasant partyC) is going to attend a dinner partyD) has successfully held a party42. Ann’s first piece of advice is that Mary should________.A) get the food ready before the guests arriveB) keep the guests away from the kitchenC) spend some time with the guestsD) accept the guests’ offer to help43.

The most important rule for Mary to follow in treating her guests is to________.A) be as polite as she canB) let them feel at homeC) prepare delicious foodD) create a formal atmosphereTask 3Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.46 The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.A) bosses are hard to deal withB) bosses have good characterC) bosses determine your career futureD) bosses must have similar personality47 In the second paragraph, “rise up the career ladder” (Line 2) means ________.A) going to work abroadB) changing jobs frequentlyC) being promoted in positionD) pursuing an advanced degree48 In order to achieve his objectives, your boss expects that you will ________.A) do your best in your workB) show your management skillsC) get along with your colleaguesD) write reports to upper management49 The most important factor for establishing a good working relationship with the boss is ________.A) high expectationsB) quick feedbackC) frequent criticismD) effective communication50 The best title for the passage might be ________.A) How to Take Care Of Your Boss.B) How to Get Along with Your BossC) How to Accept Your Boss’s C riticismD) How to Accomplish Your Boss’s Objective五．Translate the following into Chinese51. Your son suffers from your excessive shielding.52. She was immobilized by shock.53. Susan went through the magazine quickly.54. Not all the plants like to grow up toward the sunlight.55. They turn the day-to-day work into a learning experience.六．Paragraph translationMy impression of the general population is that most of the people here are warm-hearted. The old people are still very much respected by the younger generation, and they are also actively participating in the society. However, to be frank, Chinese people are still a mystery to me at present. For example, the combination of conservatism and sometimes the liberal attitude of the youth. People here are fascinated by West, but at the same time they hold on to the traditional ways of doing things.I think it would take me years before I could really understand Chinese culture and society. I believe the first step to have a better understanding is to learn how to speak its native language.。

A small museum on a US Marine base in Okinawa shows pictures and historical objects from the battle. Mark Waycaster is the curator of the museum’s Battle of Okinawa area. He says Japanese General Mitsuru Ushijima’s plan was to hurt the morale and strength of the Americans. His goal was not to win. “His intentions is to bleed the American forces so bad that the United States sues for peace.” Many American and Japanese troops were killed or injured in Okinawa. Japanese forces fought fiercely. Some fought to the death, refusing to surrender even when they knew they could not win. This was one reason US officials gave for their decision to drop atomic bombs on the city of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
