Dear Mr Collins，
I am writing to thank you for attending our school careers day last week and giving such
an inspirational and interesting speech on career prospects in the financial services industry.
I am also writing to inform. you that you left a CI}ROM in the computer which you used
during your speech. Iwould like to return it to you as soon as possible but Iwas unsure
whether to send it to your company or adifferent address.
I contacted your office but，unfortunately, you were away on business and I spoke to a
secretary. She said that the disc belonged to your own private consultancy business and that I should send it there. She provided me with an address but I am afraid that I may havewritten it down incorrectly. The address I have is as follows:Collinsi一Consultancies, Box 283A, Bristol. Could you please confirm that this is the correct address to which I shouldsend the disc?
Thank you once again for your generosity in giving up your valuable time for the
students at our school and Iam sorry I have been unable to return your CD-ROM morepromptly.

The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．
We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．

问答题Discuss and decide together: ● What qualities are you looking for in such a person? ● What skills should such a person possess?正确答案：
【参考范例】
Candidate A=A Candidate B=B
A: I am going to interview several candidates for the position of receptionist.
B: I’ve heard that. Do you have any ideas?
A: Sure. First of all, I’ll look at the candidate’s qualifications to see if the prospective receptionist has attended a secretarial training program or some other training courses. I also would like to know whether he/she had a proper educational background. Generally speaking, the higher his or her educational background, the better. What do you think?
B: I agree. It is also important to consider whether he/she has experience as a receptionist. Is that right?
A: Yeah, it is really of great significance. If the receptionist has related experience, he/she will help our company in a big way. As a matter of fact, a good receptionist does more than just representing the company’s image and he or she will also leaves a very important first impression of the company on the customers who come to our company. That is why the company is concerned with this.
B: Well, I understand that your company is an international company, so I think it is necessary that the receptionist is able to speak English. Is that right?
A: Absolutely. It is not enough that candidate can speak English since he/she will also take a lot of calls from our general headquarters in America and therefore is required to take notes. It certainly is not easy, but the qualified receptionist will be offered high wages. Another thing we need to consider is the candidate’s character. We should know if the candidate enjoys talking with or listening to people and how well he/she can get on with others. Do you agree?
B: That’s just what I am thinking. The candidate’s manner is essential as well. It is beyond everything that the receptionist has a pleasant manner and a desire to improve. .
A: Exactly. Nice talking to you about this. You have been very helpful.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题While some people claim that a person's essential qualities are inherited at birth, others hold that the circumstances in which a person grows up are mainly responsible for the type of person he/ she later becomes. Write a composition of 400 words on the following topic, expressing your views正确答案：
ESSENTIAL QUALITIES: INHERITED OR NOT? Generally, opinions differ with regard to the formation of people's essential qualities. Some people claim that a person's essential qualities are inherited; others hold that the circumstances in which a person grows up are mainly responsible for the type of person he later becomes. These two kinds of opinions, to a certain degree, are equally reasonable. Personally I think circumstances are more important than inherited characteristics for the following reasons.
True, inherited characteristics play an important role in the formation of one's essential qualities. Cases abound in which children are exactly like their parents in many aspects. The role inherited characteristics play should not be denied. Otherwise, how could we explain the proverb like father, like son? But the son of a criminal may not be a criminal like his father. He might become a scholar of respectable moral integrity. And the son of a scholar might end up as a criminal, not a scholar. In many cases, the circumstances in which a person grows up are responsible for the type of person he later becomes. If inherited characteristics were the overriding factor in shaping a person's essential qualities, then the sons of the great Chinese poets Li Po and Du Fu would also be great poets, and the sons of great scientists would be great scientists.
What is more, even the same person, having experienced the ups and downs of life, would change dramatically in his essential qualities. For instance, a college student, having experienced the agonies of his parents' decade-long separation or divorce, grows up from a carefree boy to a taciturn adult. Indifferent to things around him, he may hold a negative attitude toward people and society. On the contrary, if he is lucky enough to have a happy family, and there is no other worries and troubles, he will most possibly live a happy life as before. In his case, circumstances are the most powerful shaping force in the formation of his essential qualities.
To be honest, it is not easy to reach a final conclusion about this question, because the formation of one's essential qualities is a highly complex matter. There is no denying that one's essential qualities are inherited to a large extent. But, based on the above instances, I may well say that circumstances play a bigger role in shaping a person's essential quality.解析：

问答题Practice 6 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Akira Kurosawa’s film masterpiece Rashomon portrays several people who have witnessed a death. As each observer recounts the event as he or she witnessed it, we come to realize that each person’s story varies greatly from every other account. Watching the movie, we reflect the truth of an experience—and perhaps all truth—is different for each person. Assignment: What is your opinion of the claim that truth is not objective, but rather is determined by each individual? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.正确答案： 【参考范文】
The difference between perspective and truth is that perspective originates from an individual. Each person possesses a unique outlook on life, but truth, by definition, must be the same for every individual. The law of gravity cannot be challenged, nor are there any exceptions to it because it applies to everything on Earth. Similarly, our actions cannot, and do not, affect the truth because it exists outside the realm of our control.
Platonic idealism holds that ideals exist outside the realm of the physical. That is the idea of what an object is (its definition) cannot be found in the human word. For example, if we look at the definition of a ball, it may say that a ball is a spherical object of fully rounded shape, with no angles, that contains radii of entirely equal lengths spanning out from a central point. Yet there are many different types of balls, including basketballs, baseballs, cricket balls, and so on. So even though many objects fit this definition of a ball, the “ideal,” or the truth of what a ball is, only exists in words, not in reality. Hence, we must conclude that an objective understanding of “ball” exists, as every person understands it.
Events may be objectively understood as well. Though every person may see differently from his own eyes, due to differences in backgrounds and desires, impartial facts are immutable. For example, the Agatha Christie novel, Murder on the Orient Express, is a classic whodunit mystery that requires one detective to sort through twelve suspects in a murder case to find the true killer of a Mr. Ratchett. Detective Poirot is given the task of catching the true killer by sorting through various, sometimes conflicting, alibis and motives. Though he is given twelve different narratives from his suspects, Poirot eventually brilliantly pieces together the objective events to find the truth on who kills Mr. Ratchett. Therefore, regardless of what subjective stories may exist in the world, an objective truth always exists.
There is a famous saying that says one cannot judge another person until one has walked a mile in that person’s shoes. Human perceptions vary tremendously from person to person, but in order to separate the objective from the subjective, we must step outside the world of opinion, and review facts. What is true cannot be debated; it can only be described by words.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Some people think that parents should plan their children's leisure time carefully. Others believe that children should decide for themselves how to spend their free time. Which opinion do you agree? Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.正确答案：
Childhood is a decisive period in the process of one's growth. Therefore, many people think that parents should carefully plan not only their children's school education but also their spare time. Other people, however, argue that children should have the freedom to plan their own extracurricular life. On balance, I would side with those parents who respect children's freedom and independence.
If children have the freedom to make decisions on how to spend their spare time and develop their interests, they will gradually form a sense of responsibility and become more capable in the world. Take myself as a good example. My parents are like good teachers and helpful friends in my life. As I remember, they never excessively interfered with my life and always left enough freedom to me so that I could embark upon what I liked to do in my spare time. They quite understood that my weekdays were occupied with a heavy workload, and that only in my spare time I could have a change of pace. Meanwhile, although mutual understanding and tolerance were an important part of my childhood life, in no way does it mean that they spoiled me. They were austere teachers when I made mistakes, and helpful friends when I came across difficulties. Owing to their understanding, tolerance, guidance, and above all, love, I have grown up to be a person of self-confidence, optimism, and independence, ready to meet any challenges in my life. Without the free family environment that my parents carefully designed for me, I wouldn't have lived such a happy life.
On the contrary, some parents expect too much of their children, depriving them of all their independence and freedom. These parents would rather sacrifice their children's interests and happiness for nothing but good scores, thus resulting in serious misunderstanding between parents and children. Some parents even went so far as to plan their children's schedule, filling every minute with study task. In this ease, children are deprived of happiness because they are bound hand and foot by endless homework, numerous exams and boring evening or weekend classes. Furthermore, having no freedom to plan their own life, these children are more likely to become introvert, heavily dependent on their parents when they grow up. This will definitely affect their growth. For one thing, since they have no opportunity to develop their independent thinking and explore their potential, they will find it very difficult to adjust themselves to the competitive society. For another, confining them in an ivory tower will make it hard for them to communicate with others. This will affect their career development in the future because the communication between people plays a major role in the workplace, and is one of the most important elements in achieving career success. Obviously, parents' excessive interference with children's after-school life, if carried to the extreme, can cause serious damage to both their happy childhood and their career in the future.
To sum up, I believe that parents should leave enough freedom and privacy to their children with a view to cultivating their character. As long as parents allow their children the necessary freedom accompanied by careful guidance, their children will grow up to be independent, responsible and successful.解析：

第14题：
Text 3
Thirty- two people watched Kitty' Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of them helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one' s fellow man?
"Not so," say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe the masons why people didn't act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency. Suppose you see a middle - aged man fall to the side - walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma (昏迷) from diabetes(糖尿病) ? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk? Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it "steam pipes" ? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It' s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won' t get the help he needs. The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be "tested". Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the "tests". Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the "testing room" and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of these had been pre - recorded on a tape - recorder. Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility. Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person's trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions, were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
31. The purpose of this passage is______.
A) to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
B) to explain when people will act in emergencies
C) to explain what people will do in emergencies
D) to explain how people feel in emergencies
正确答案：B

第18题：
Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even ask illed writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon--can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone′ s personality, we mean the ways in which heor she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone′ s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face"looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people′s behavior.And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types--people are describedwith such terms.
People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain′s or the hero′s role. In fact, the words "person" and"personality" come from the Latin person a, meaning "mask".Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easilytell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
According to the passage, it is possible for us tell one type of person from another because ____________.A.people differ in their behavioral andphysical characteristics
B.human fingerprints provide unique information
C.people' s behavior can be easily described in words
D.human faces have complex features答案：A解析：细节题。纵观全文可知，区分不同类型的人是因为人的外表face，appearance(即physical characteristics)和行为特征action(即behavioral characteristics)不同。故选项A正确。 -

问答题With computers, people can now shop, bank, work and communicate from the home. The danger is that people could become isolated from each other and lose social skills which help them to get along with others. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss this topic.正确答案：
In this computer-oriented era, people can do practically everything while still at home. They can do their shopping online, pay bills online, chat online and even work online. In the light of this phenomenon, many fear that this way of tackling things might lead to social isolation, and further to the loss of men's ability to co-exist with one another in society. Personally, however, I don't agree with this view, and it is my firm belief that not only will the Internet bring the world closer together, it will enable men to co-exist better—in the cyberspace, a worldwide community.
First, unsurprisingly, computers and modems have transformed the world into a global village. Messages are sent instantly around the world via the Internet; a bargain is made between a gentleman in Russia and a lady in Argentina; and students studying abroad send voice mails to their loved ones at home, again by using the computer. Indeed, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to conduct every social contact in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, it is only too natural that efficient online communication is partly taking the place of the time-consuming personal encounter. And why not? This online way of life has helped people on this planet to communicate better, and the fear that people could become isolated from each other in the virtual world is groundless.
At the same time, even if the Internet ensures better social communication, actual social contact is still necessary: Not all business can be handled online, and perfect good will can not be achieved while the parties concerned are far apart. As a matter of fact, the Internet has made people realize the need for contact in actual social settings. Furthermore, communication in the cyberspace and that in the actual world can be complementary to each other-- each shining more brilliantly in the other's company. Sometimes it is fast and efficient to communicate online, while at other times people find it better to communicate in the actual world. Given this, people's ability to co-exist with one another has actually been enhanced, I would say, in this IT era.
In conclusion, the computer and the Internet have brought human relations closer than ever before. To better adapt to this high-tech world, one should master the basic skills of the computer, for one' own sake as well as for the sake of a better and happier co-existence with others.解析：

问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The Most Unforgettable Person I Ever Know. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Most Unforgettable Person I Ever Know In my life I have met many people who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher.
The deepest impression of my English teacher left in my mind is his special qualities. To begin with, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, rather than tedious grammar or vocabulary. Then, I was attracted by his wisdom and humor. I still remember many of his classes, which were humorously delivered, and filled with chuckles or loud laughs.
Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is still in the talk of my old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.解析：

问答题Directions: some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with people. Others choose work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. Compare these types of activities. Which of them do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Your composition should be no less than about 160 words.正确答案：
Some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. They hold the opinion that this can make their work more accurate. However, I prefer to work with people. I have the following reasons to support my point of view.
First, working with people can promote the work efficiency. As we know, human beings are social animals. We need a community to live in, and to work with people is not a bad choice. For example, when I encounter a problem, I can consult my co-workers for advice. As the saying goes, three minds are greater than one. What’s more, we can cooperate with each other and the power of brain-storm can solve any difficulty. In this way, the team spirit is raised and the work efficiency is promoted.
Second, working with people brings about competition. Rivalry is a very effective motive in improving one’s ability. It can make one energetic and full of new ideas. The co-worker is also a competitor. One can measure his own achievement compared with others. In this way, the shortcomings can be easily located.
On the contrary, working with machines or objects can not be so productive. Though they are accurate, they can not communicate with people. To conclude, working with people can bring about fruitful results, which can make the society more harmonious.解析： 暂无解析 -
