1.BOpen Letter to an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.60. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.

4.Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.Interviews are part of most people s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.Don t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can t do the job they have advertised.sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ,and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this, you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong, specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,and be easy to manage. Dont attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Upto you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.31. The passage is to show the applicant how to ( )A. prepare for a job interviewB. do their best at a job interviewC. impress the interviewers at a job interview32. The applicant should not attack his previous boss at the interview because ( )A. the interviewer and the applicant s previous boss may be birds of a featherB. a man who speaks ill of somebody else in the back is not reliable and trustworthyC. the interviewer may think that, if one attacks his previous employer now , he might attack his new one later33. Why is it good for the applicant to ask the interviewer a few questions? ( )A. He can have more chance of demonstrating his ability.B. He can learn more about the interviewer s likes and dislikes.C. He can make the interview run in the way in his favor.34. According to the passage , which of the following is true? ( )A. Y ou should answer every question raised by the interviewer as thoroughly as possible.B. You should try your best to flatter the interviewer and never disagree with him.C. It is foolish to take the question "Tell me about your strengths" as an invitation to chatter.35. It can be inferred from the passage that ( )A. interviewers always want to know as many as possible about the applicantB. a careful analysis of your qualifications will better prepare you for the interviewC. one should give more attention to questions like ‘Can you work well in a team?"

    Energy Cycle
    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”.That's true .The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak .For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit to it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway .Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy .Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before .Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

    If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning,he should_______.
    A: change his energy cycle
    B: overcome his laziness
    C:get up earlier than usual
    D:go to bed earlier

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据第一段可以看出,早晨起不来与个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中约翰自言自语以及紧接着的解释“Get up , John ! You'll be late for work again ! ” The explanation… temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.可推断出答案。


    答案的线索在第二段最后一句话“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.”也就是说,如果丈夫和妻子能明白不同的能量周期是怎么回事,家里每个人有什么样的能量周期,很多家庭争吵就不会发生。所以正确答案是A。


    “如果一个人想在早上能量低潮时更有效地工作,那么他该怎么办?”根据这两句话“If your energy is low in the morning but you have…but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.”可以断定正确答案应该是C。


    “建议你早上起床时打个呵欠,伸伸懒腰,因为它们会_______”首先应理解文章最后一段的第一句话“get off to a slow start which saves your energy”,还要理解该句后面的三句话,它们是保存能量的具体方法。“Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch”当然是为了保存能量。所以正确答案是A。


    选项B说Dr. Kleitman解释了为什么人们在一天里的不同时刻会有不同的能量高峰。而文章第二段指出没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期“For some people the peak comes during morning…No one has discovered why this is so.”两者不符,所以正确答案是B。

    C.So sudden was the attack that we had notime to escape.
    D.Should you need my help again, just giveme a ring.

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查条件句。条件句可分为真实条件句和非真实条件句。A项和B项为真实条件句,D项 为省略if的虚拟条件句,而C项是so…that引导的结果状语从句。题干要求选择不是条件句的一项,故C为正确答案。

    问答题
    Practice 2  Many matters, however, are less easily brought to the test of experience. If, like most of mankind, you have strong convictions on many such matters, there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own prejudices. If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you subconsciously are aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If someone maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination that your belief is going beyond what the evidence justifies.  For those who have enough psychological imagination, it is a good plan to imagine an argument with a person having a different opinion. This has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents: this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same limitations of time and space. Mahatma Gandhi considered it unfortunate to have railways and steamboats and machinery; he would have liked to undo the whole of the industrial revolution. You may never have an opportunity of actually meeting anyone who holds his opinion, because in Western countries most people take the advantage of modern technology for granted. But if you want to make sure that you are right in agreeing with the prevailing opinion, you will find it a good plan to test the arguments that occur to you by considering what Gandhi might have said in refutation of them. I have sometimes been led actually to change my mind as a result of this kind of imaginary dialogue. Furthermore, I have frequently found myself growing more agreeable through realizing the possible reasonableness of a hypothetical opponent.

    然而,很多问题用经验来检验会比较困难。即使你像大多数人那样,在此类事情上执迷不悟,还是有方法让你意识到自己的偏见。如果与你相左的观点激怒了你,这恰恰说明了你已经下意识地认识到自己还没法给自己的想法以合适的理由。如果有人坚称二加二等于五,或者冰岛位于赤道,你更多的是感到同情而非愤怒,除非你对算术或地理几无所知,以致他的观点动摇了你的立场。最残酷的争论是,双方都无法给自己的观点提出合理的证据。所以无论发现自己对不同的意见有多么气恼,一定要保持警惕;你很有可能会发现,经过检验,你的信念并无足够的依据。
    对那些想象力丰富的人,想象着同与自己观点相异的人交锋是项不错的计划。与实际的正面交锋相比,这种方式有一个——可以说是惟一的——好处:它无需受时间与空间的限制。圣人甘地认为拥有铁路、轮船和机器是不幸的,他宁愿整个工业革命未曾发生过。你可能永远也不会遇到一个跟他持有相同观点的人,因为在西方国家,绝大部分人都认为现代科技具有诸多好处。但如果你想证实你赞同时下盛行的观点,这一行为是正确的,你可以通过考虑甘地可能给出的拒绝高科技的理由来检验你所坚持的论断,这将是个十分好的方案。我有时确实通过这种想象式的对话改变了原来的观点。此外,通过认识到假想论敌的观点可能存有的合理性,我经常发现自己已变得越来越容易相处。

A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”  “How so? How can it affect them?”  “My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”  “Is that his design in settling here?”  “Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”  “I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.”
