ABeginning March 1st, the company will be establishing new dress principles. Employees are to be professional in their appearance at all times. “Professional clothes” is a flexible term to some degree, but the final judgment shall be left to management in all areas. Some rules include the following:Men:Neckties are recommended for all salaried employees. Hourly employees may or not be required to wear neckties, depending upon job duites and according to the management.Sweaters or sports jackets are not required, but may still be considered appropriate for certain situations, such as meetings with customers. Management kept the right to mandate such in certain circumstances.Blue jeans are never approciate. Except on certain days ---- such as “casual Fridays”or “dress-down days,” according to the management.Sneakers and running shoes are not apprropriate unless the employees’s duties require much more walking or stand-up work than usual, or when requreed by medical or health matters. Management shall keep the right to make specific exceptions as necessary.Women:Pant-suits are acceptable, provided that they keep a professional appearance.Shorts, “hot pants”, “culottes (裤裙)” and similar clothes are never appropriate.

Dresses and skirt above the kness are considered inapprociate at all times, including “dress-down days” and other time of casual clothes.Blue jeans are never approciate, except on certain days ---- suc h as “casual Fridays” or “dress-down days,” according to the management.Sneakers and running shoes are not appropriate unless the employees’s duties require much more walking or stand-up work than usual, or when required by medical or health matters. Management shall keep the right to make specific exceptions asnecessary.31. What is the main idea of this text?A. Management has the final sayB. Employees must follow ordersC.

SadB. AngryC. HumorousD. InformativeBAs is true in all cultures, Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or tevevision, and this “canned” music is especially important in developing children’s musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies (摇篮曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies no only lull a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometiems lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic backgrounds hear, since people often fall back on old, familiar languages for intimate (亲密的) songs.Another important family context is the automobile, where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears, for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important places where the family gather for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being forced by the radio, but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allow a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.35. “Canned” music in the first paragraph refers to _______.A. the music passed down from older generationsB. recorded music instead of live musicC. modern music young people can enjoyD. the music children hear in a car36. The music children first hear is important in _______.A. shaping their likes and dislikes in musicB. instruction how to learn languageC. developing their mindD. helping them know about cultural values37. According to the text, lullabies are usually sung in _______.A. American EnglishB. a modern languageC. an African languageD. the parents’ native language38. The invention of automobile cassette recorders allows a family to _______.A. spend a longer time on vacation in the carB. enjoy an easier way to choose musicC. have more choices in the music the hearD. have another place to get togetherCOne of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong , and you were right about that.”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (容器). Then he related an incident and began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I want to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of theeggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (犯人). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.39.Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons?A. The authorB. The managerC. A womanD. The author’smother40. Which of the following statements is not true?A. It was the author who put the display back togetherB. The author was severely criticized by the manager.C. A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartonsD. The woman made an apology to the manager41.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A. Its Harder to Admit One’s MistakeB. A case of mistaken identityC. I remember an incidentD. I was once the culprit42. The tone of the article expresses the author’s_______.A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakesB. anger to the manager for his wrong accusationC. complaint against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartonsD. regret for the mistake the made in the storeDMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way. The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usuallydoing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic (有疗效的）．In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy（心理疗法），before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever.43．According to the author，in communication people tend to ______.A．listen actively B．set aside their prejudicesC．listen purposefully D．open up their inner mind44．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A．How to listen well. B．What to listen to.C．Benefits of listening. D．Problems in listening. 45．According to the author，the patients improved mainly because ______.A．they were taken good care of B．they were willing to listen to others C．they were truly listened to D．they knew the roots of problems 46．What type of writing is the article likely to be?A．Science fiction. C．A medical report.B．Popular science. D．A news report.EIt was the first snow of winter –an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.。
