The manager of the office asked him how old his parents were when they died. 'Mother had a bad heart and died at the age of 32. Father died of cancer when he was 36.''I'm sorry,’ said the manager, 'we cannot insure your life as your parents were not healthy.'As the man was leaving the office in low spirits, he met a clerk who had heard their conversation. 'You must not be so frank and tell the truth,' said the clerk, 'No office will insure you if you speak like that. Use your imagination a little.'The man went to another office and was shown into the manager's room. 'Well, young man, how old were your parents when they died?''Mother was 83, and she died from a fall off her bike. Father was 85 and he died while he was playing football.'

It is not just money that you spend but also a lot of time and energy finding and visiting the houses. At first my wife and I tried to do things the easy way—by telephone. We rang up a number of house agents, told them what we wanted and asked them to send us lists of suitable houses for sale. We didn't want to do too much work as my wife was pregnant(怀孕的). Our flat would be too small for three people, which was why we wanted to move.We soon began getting the lists we had asked for. There were hundreds of houses. Every evening for a week we went through the lists. We were looking for houses we could afford and which were near an underground station and a park. We then made a short list of such suitable houses. This list consisted of about twenty houses. Every weekend for the next two months we went out visiting the houses on our list. Some were too old, some were too big, some were too dark inside, some were in very noisy areas. Then, we found exactly what we were looking for. At last!—We thought. We planned to move into the house two months later. But we couldn't move in straight away. The peopleselling the house were themselves looking for a new one—and you know how long that takes.5. Buying a house_______.A. needs only a lot of moneyB. doesn't need a lot of moneyC. needs a lot of money as well as time and energyD. needs either a lot of money or a lot of time as well as energy6.

You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist concluded that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities, and that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than the summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of a large number of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Autumn is the second best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.9. Generally speaking, _______weather is even fitter for creative thinking.A. coldB. coolC. sunnyD. rainy10. According to the passage, your intelligence probably_______.A. varies from month to monthB. remains the same throughout the yearC. changes with the seasonsD. varies all the time11. A scientist arrived at the conclusion that climate and temperature have_______.A. nothing to do with man's mental abilitiesB. some effect on the intelligence of most peopleC. a great effect on everyone's intelligenceD. no effect on women's intelligence12. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that .A. all nature has come back to life and becomes active in itB. it is followed by summerC. it lasts longer than the other seasonsD. all kinds of flowers are in full bloom(D)A is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious(勤恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting a-head, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P for politics, as in office politics.As Dale Carnegie suggested much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn't make career advance. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of being good at office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable or unwilling to 'play the game'.'Some people feel that office politics means some manipulative(会摆布人的) behavior/ says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. 'But politics comes from the word "polite". It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expecting something in return.'In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to gain one's own interest in the workplace. In many cases, this includes some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.'The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,' says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. 'But if two or three people are up for a promotion, each of whom has similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It's simple human nature.' Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others mistake politics for flattery(奉承) and are fearful that if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favor.Experts suggest changing this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.13. What does 'office politics' mean according to the passage?A. The code of behavior for company staff.B. The political views and beliefs of office workers.C. The interpersonal relationships within a company.D. The various qualities required for a successful career.14. To get promoted, one must not only be capable but .A. give the boss a good impressionB. honest and loyal to the companyC. get along well with his companyD. avoid being excellent15. It is the author's view that_______.A. speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery。
