    How Men Face the Fat Problem
    It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure .Because the men are new at the game,they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly.However,women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity.Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
    The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms .I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me,with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored", Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly.Often,wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother,a former college football player. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, "Fat,medium or thin?"She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed and says,"Am I getting fatter?"His wife is expected to answer,"You look like you may have lost a few pounds."
    And then there are the exhusbands,a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting.He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning.He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn.After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pau- ses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.
    Do I think he's fat?

    The journalist used to drink Diet Coke and tuck his shirts in order to keep trim.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C: Not nentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    原文是“The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itseif in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later." 这两句说明男士开始讨论肥胖问题的时间不一致。


    原文是“However,women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.”而题干是“especially in the presence of men."


    在第二段中谈及男人关注肥胖的年龄不尽相同,30出头这样的问题开始出现。


    原文是“I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist."


    从作者下文描述的例子可以证明此信息是正确的。


    原文是“She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video."


    从最后一段的描述中可知,ex-husbands自己节食,并爱倾诉,而并未提及他们没有妻子来同情他们的肥胖问题。

    longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist.Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me,
    with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored".

    The ex-husbands are pitiful because they have got no wives to sympathize with their fat problem.
    A:Right

    答案:C
    解析:
    文章第一段说看到某一年龄段的那些男人们为他们的体重而担心是一件有趣的事情, 而听他们谈论这件事就不那么有趣了。因为这些男人们在这个问题上还是新手,他们总是毫 不迟疑地、没完没了地谈论发福的问题。

    第二段第一句话说男人们开始为发福的问题而担心的年龄各不相同,因此该题说男人 们通常在将近四十岁的时候开始为体重的问题而担心是不正确的。
    第二段中提到的那位记者过去并不喝无糖的健怡可乐,而且过去他常把衬衫扎在裤子 中是为了显示自己纤细的腰部,而不是为了保持体型。
    作者在第三段第一句话中说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖的问题上已经 丧失了自尊,总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此,他 们还是不希望听到自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。
    第三段中作者大哥的女儿不愿告诉父亲他很胖,原因是她想取悦父亲,以便得到自己 想要的东西,比如一盘新录像带,而不是因为怕父亲伤心。
    文章最后一段提到离了婚的男士们在发福这个问题上最令人同情,但并没有提到是因 为身边没有夫人而同情他们。

    How to Get Along Well With Your Boss
    1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there are keys to timing:don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
    2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first,and don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
    3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
    4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
    5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.

    It is not wise to present the boss with a problem______.
    A:to give the boss your advice
    B:how he is feeling
    C:the boss may have
    D:what you really want to talk to him about
    E:without suggesting a way to solve it
    F:how unhappy you are

    答案:E
    解析:
    文章第二段第一句话“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句,是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板,这样会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
    由文章第三段第一句和第二句话“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”可知,当老板或员工不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时,就会引发激烈的争吵,而当双方都清楚了之后就可能不会争吵。故选E0
    由文章第四段第二句和第三句话“If you can ' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can ' t get past the secretary.”可知,如果你不能提出解决问题的即时方案,至少也要给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就会发现他们在老板秘书那都过不了关,更别提会被老板接见了。因此,在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
    文章第五段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段的主题句,是说应该设身处地地从老板的角度看问题,这样老板才会愿意帮助你解决你所提出的问题。故选B。
    由文章第一段第一句话“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss ' s secretary to determine his mood.”可知,如果想要向老板询问什么,应该首先向老板的秘书确认老板此刻的心情。故选B。
    由文章第三段可知,让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的。故选D。
    由文章第四段可知,只向老板提出问题,而不提供解决办法是不明智的。故选E。
    由文章最后一段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”可知,应该设身处地地从老板的角度考虑老板所面临的问题和麻烦,才会取得有效的解决问题的办法。故选C。

    文章第三段第一句话说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖的问题上已经丧失了自尊,总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此,他们还是不希望听到自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。故选A。

She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands be- hind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed and says,"Am I getting fat- ter?"His wife is expected to answer,"You look like you may have lost a few pounds."
    And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal.When I go to the movies with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting.He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning.He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.Do I think he's fat?

    Men usually begin to worry about their weight when they are nearly 40.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章第一段说看到某一年龄段的男士们为他们的体重而担心是一件有趣的事情,而听他们谈论这件事就不那么有趣了。因为这些男士们在这个问题上还是新手,他们会毫不迟疑地、没完没了地谈论发胖的问题。故选A。
    文章第一段第三句话说某一年龄段的女士们不谈论发胖的问题,尤其是在既有女士也有男士的社交场合。因此,在男士面前,女士们也不会谈论此问题。故选A。
    文章第二段第一句话说男士们开始为发胖的问题而担心的年龄各不相同,因此该题说男士们通常在将近四十岁的时候开始为体重的问题而担心是不正确的。故选B。
    由文章第二段第四句和第五句话可推测出,过去那位记者身材纤细,因此他过去并不喝无糖的健怡可乐。而且过去他常把衬衫扎在裤子中是为了显示自己纤细的腰部,而不是为了保持纤细的体型。故选B。
    文章第三段第一句话说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖的问题上已经丧失了自尊,总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此,他们还是不希望听到自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。故选A。
    文章第三段说作者大哥的女儿不愿告诉父亲他很胖,原因是她想取悦父亲,以便得到自己想要的东西,比如一盘新录像带,而不是因为怕她父亲伤心。故选B。
    文章最后一段提到离了婚的男士们在发胖这个问题上最令人同情,但并没有提到是因为身边没有妻子同情他们。故选C。

    The Fat Problem That Men Face
    It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight.Listening to them is not such a pleasure.Because the men are new at the game,they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly.
    However,women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity.Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
    The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later.There are early nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist.Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me, with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored".
    Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly.Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals.Take my oldest brother,a former college football player,as an example.His daughter says that several tinies a day he will stand at attention and call out,"Fat,medium or thin?" She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed arid says,"Am I getting fatter?" His wife is expected to answer,"You look like you may have lost a few pounds."
    And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal.When I go to the movies with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting.He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning.He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn.
    After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.Do I think he's fat?

    The journalist used to drink Diet Coke and tuck his shirts in order to keep trim.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:

    解析:
    本题考查动词不定式作形式宾语的用法。句意:在问题解决之前,我认为没必要和他讨论这个问题。it指代的是后面的动词不定式结构。故填入to discuss。
