If we are to solve the nursing 1)shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.At Beth Israel, each patient is 2) assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale heath account that covers everything from his or her medical history to his emotional state. Then, the nurse writes a care plan, one that is not only 3) centered on the patient’s illness but also one which includes everything else that is necessary.The primary nurse stays with the patient throughout his or her 4) hospitallization , keeping track of his or her progress and seeking further advice from the doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to 5) treatment , it is not uncommon for the nurse to propose another approach to the doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel have in the primary nurse is a true 6) colleague .Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a 7) decentialized nursing administration; every floor and every unit is a self-contained organization. 8) There’re nurse-managers instead of head-nurses ;In addition to their medical duties, they do all their own hiring and firing, and employee advising. They even make salary re commendations. Each unit’s nurses 9) decidea among themselves who will work what to do and when .Beth Israel’s nurse-in-chief as 10) an equal with other wise presidents of the hospital .The nurse-in-chief is a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.Unit twoThe man appreciates Charlie Chaplin’s films.Chaplin as a role model.Female politicians are rare.She’s honest.Their family.Her new invention.Producing art that’s unlike other art.Being like other people.Teacher and student.Mother and son.Father and daughter.Employer and employee.Wife and husband.Employee and employee.Father and daughter.Teacher and student.The reason for Chaplin’s success.Because she wants to be successful.There is no party tonight.Practice her acting skills.At the speakers’ home.A person unlike any other.He made silent films.A poor person.Switzerland was more accepting of Communism than US.In 1975.The works of Orson Welles.The man doesn’t think the woman is equal to welles.She would rather be active.In 1941.Teacher and student.A musician and movie star.Because Presley died.In 1956.Because he had a heart attack.His daughter.Rembrandt, one of the greatest artiest of all time, was born in Leiden in the Netherlands. As a child, he liked to 1) sketch the sun coming in through a windmill where he lived. He continued this interest in light and 2) shadow throughout life. His 3) paintings often show one hand of a person in light and in the dark.Many artists traveled 4) abroad but Rembrandt always stayed within 50 miles of his birthplace in Leiden, although he lived to be 63. Much artists life was spent in Amsterdam, then the richest town in 5) Europe . in some of Rembrandt’s paintings, we see the rich clothes and 6) jewels worn by people of that time in Amsterdam.Other Dutch artists of the time painted cloth of 7) exqute texture, dishes and other such things simply because they were beautiful. The Dutch artists of Rembrandt’s day painted 8)pictures of rooms with handsome dressed people in them . Rembrandt was greater because he painted people so that we can tell how they felt and thought. He painted their personalities, 9) not only the clothes and the lines of their faces .Rembrandt worked hard all his life, constantly improving his art. But his domestic life was filled with sorrow as all his children and his wife died before him and his overspending meant that his later years were filled with hardship. The people of his time stopped honoring him, 10) but he was far greater than he would ever become . He was a great artist working on art problems ahead of his time.3第三单元1.

Call it what you will: the service economy, information age, or the knowledge society. It all translates to a 1)fundamental change in the way we work. Already we're partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen 2)dramatically in the Western world. Today the 3)majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan are in the service industry, and that number is on the rise. More women are in the 4)workplace than before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are 5)self-employed . But the 6)breadth of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone, because it is also giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-help 7)notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relationship between individuals and employers –all of these are being challenged.We only have to look behind us to get some sense of what is ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years could possibly have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to 8)its applications in personal computers, digital communications, and factory robots. Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, or even some 9)still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will because even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, 10)will have the greatest advantage and produce the most wealth.

But as scientists studied different populations, loneliness kept emerging as a risk factor. In one study, Californian researchers followed 4700 residents of Alameda County for 10 years, starting in 1965 At first, the participants reported their key sources of companionship and estimated the time they devoted to each other. During the study, the people who reported the least social contact died at nearly three times the rate of those reporting the most. The source of companionship didn't matter, but time spent with others was critical.Since then, researchers have studied men, women, soldiers and students from countries all over the world. And the same pattern keeps emerging . Women who say they fell isolate go on to die of cancer at several times the expected rate. College students who report "strained and cold" relationships with their parents suffer extraordinary rates of hypertension and heart disease decades later, Heart-attach survivors who happened to live by themselves die at twice the rate of those live with othersFor those of us who are still healthy the lesson should be obvious, It’s clear that reaching out to other can have our body strong. It's equally clear that we're growing more isolated. In 1900sOnly 5 percent of U.S. consisted of the person living alone. The proportion reached 13 percent in 1960s, and it stands at 25 percent today.----------------------6The woman believes someone has been stealing from the company.The man has stolen from his employerTo bribe the customs peopleThe woman has stolen somethingRich criminals go freeThe man doesn't know if it's good for the police to carryA mistake made concerning a shootingAdditional instructions270 millionEmployer and employeeA bribeBecause he pays her so little for her workShe is crazyThe man will not say anything about the theftEmployer and employeeReason for different treatment of criminalsPunishment is based upon violence of the crimeBlue-collar crime requires violenceA mugger who uses a knifeIt is reasonable and fairA method for solving the problem of government corruptionBy handing over bribe moneyCorrupt officials can't save themselves completelyThe plan starts to workNew acts passed by the governmentOlympic corruptionAn unhappy workerTo investigate the messLooking into the charges of corruptionCities have bribed officials in the pastEver since Philippine President Joseph Estrada was accused in October of accepting huge bribes, opposition pressure on him to resign has increased rapidly. On November 13, the House of Representatives voted to impeach him and declared he would face trial in the Senate.The bribery scandal broke at a press conference on October 9. At the press conference, Governor Luis Singapore of Ilocos Sur Province accused Estrada of illegally taking US $8 million in bribes from a gambling operation and getting US $2.7 million in tobacco taxes from that province. The Philipine House of Representatives reacted quickly. On October 1841 members put forward an act of impeachment against the President, listing many accusations of corruption, bribery, and using his office for personal gainThe House of Representatives formally started impeachment procedures on October 23. Meanwhile, the opposition has pushed for him to resign. On October 12, current vice-President Gloria M.Arroyo resigned as secretary of social welfare and urged the president to resign. Since then, the Sectary of Trade and Industry, the director-general of Grain Administration, and five economic advices to the President have resigned , And more than 40 members of the congress of Estrada's own party have announced that they would withdraw from the party, including the chairmen of Senate and the House of Representatives, and the chairmen of some committees in the House of Representatives . With such important members of the government and congress having transferred their allegiance, the opposition has been emboldened to organized large-scale mass rallies to ask the President to step down.Unit 7Genetics isn't most important to math skillsThe woman thinks racism is badThe ancestry of native AustraliansTheir genetic researchSimilar peoples fight against each otherThe speakers don't agree about the role of geneticsThe man thinks Molly's success is based on both genetics and effortSome people are more suited to a place than othersHusband and wifeA classroomDifferences between populationsThe person's genesThe father is wrong in his beliefsThe woman doesn't think genes makes one group better than anotherTeacher and studentA biotechnology companyGTG has interests in multiple countries around the world75.8%$1.5MRaised costs for researchThe truth we now know about gamesGenes are difficult to figure outA portion of DNA99.9%peopleNew developments in medical careThe full benefits of the genetic map have not yet been achievedBiotechnology companiesDiscrimination against peopleRich peopleAt present, it is believed that genes account for at least half of out general thinking ability. Looking for better genes for their children has become the major concern of many would-be parents. They hope they can have a choice of the baby's sex, its likely height, weight, hair, eye color, and intelligence Four months ago, an unnamed couple placed "wanted" advertisements in several students' newspapers run by high-fee, famous colleges where they might be able to find the genes they wanted for their children"Intelligent, athletic egg-donor needed for loving family," their advertisement read, "You must be at least 178 centimeters, strongly built, and possess no major family medical issues," And the reward? It was $50000The couple has disclosed that 300 women responded. And more than a hundred reached the stage of consideration : 20 from Yale, 30 from Harvard. 40 from Princeton, and 15 from StanfordWhat drew most attention was not the courage of the couple who advertised in these famous college newspapers, and not the principle of "eggs for sale", but the sum American egg donors expect to be paid. Until then, the going rate was about $3000 to $5000, plus all the costs of medical treatment and insurance. Their action raised " high-quality" donor eggs into a different price bracket, as high as $50000. This amount would meet almost half the cost of fees fo r the students’ four-year college course. And it is a good deal more than the average American's annual wage.81-10The condition of blacks in the US.The speakers are black people .Blacks and whites mostly live together.Because people won’t give her a job.The man id not a black person.He put forth a strong effort.A young person replacing him.The woman expects to look young.In a private restroom.In a courtroom.In an office.At home.Teacher and student.Employer and employee.Father and daughter.Mother and son.The man mistakes the identity of the woman.The woman is the manager.The speakers are in an Asian country.The man's culture isn't superior to hers.In an office.The history of slavery.11million.In 1809.Brazil.Slavery today goes on without government approval.The Ku Klux KlanBlack peopleThe Civil War ended.In 1920.The man is not a member of the KKK.Black woman in college.A generation age, college would've been less likely for a Natasha.The number of female black college student.8.8%White woman.In the fall of 1951, during my first week at North Carolina College, the chairman's wife stopped me one day in the hall .she wanted to see me, she said. when I went to her office, she greeted me with a big smile." you know," she said," you got the highest mark on the verbal part of the examination." she was referring to the verbal examination that the entire freshman class took upon entering the college.

Authorities worried that the film director Zhang Yimou didin’t have the experience to handle such a project. Only after several mo nths did officials grant permission.Though Puccini had never visited China , he based his opera about a cruel princess in a fairy tale. The story was meant to unfold in the Forbidden City, against a Chinese background.The Beijing production was not traditional. Zhang introduced elements of Peking Opera to his version of Turandot, which was first staged in Florence last spring and then in Beijing. Last July Zhang Yimou told journalists ,”The Italian and Chinese cultures are just like two separate mountains, and my work is like a tunnel through which I can travel freely between the two.” Critics performers and audience alike were especially excited about the new introduction to the story.The story of Turandot , though against the Chinese background , is based on a European fairy story: A disguised prince seeks the hand of the proud and cruel Princess Turandot , who kills all suitors who cannot answer her turee riddles. Though the succeeds, the prince promises to sacrifice himself if Turandot can learn his name.Some Chinese critics have complained that the princess has none of the grace of a true Chinese lady.Nevertheless, it couold be said that Turandot was “coming home”, It was staged in front of an ancient temple adjacent to the Forbidden City.unit 10：EQHer employees can't make good use of their high IQThe man's EQ score is highThe man they are talking about got a low score on the IQ testTests of emotional abilitiesA problem the man hadThe man's EQ levelHer son has the abilities he needs to be successfulA classroomMother and sonA comparison of their intelligenceHe think his IQ is higherThe man's concept of intelligenceThe woman thinks her EQ is higherBrother and sisterNew understanding brought to us by twro researchersBecause it is held in high esteem by others in our societyEQ is more important than IQ in predicting successThere is a part of personality that was previously unconsideredThe capacity to comprehend emotionsThe man is having a job interviewHe studied English literatureAfter working for Fuji BankThe man has a job alreatyIn an officeHow to ger more from employeesThe difference between what can be done and what is doneThis passage is directed at managersTo be responsible for their workWorkers to produce good workWe've been driving home the theme that one rarely gets second chances.
