p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal (margin1:0cm;margin1-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;Calibri;)div.Section1 (page:Section1;)By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.No doubt some temperaments take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation（严格控制）of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite programme of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have been used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The “tough-minded” school of workers is usually very contemptuous （蔑视的） of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands. 76. The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is that of _____.A. the failure to keep to a routine of intensive workB. changing from one subject to anotherC. willingness to follow a systematic planD. applying oneself to a subject only when one feels inclined77. Those workers with strict views on work _____.A. are very critical of the belief that good work can be a natural product of instinctB. reject the idea that good work is second nature to manC. do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspirationD. pay no attention to the idea that good work can only be done when they are prompted by internal stimulus78. In Paragraph 4 “as the fit takes them” means _____.A. when they have the energy B. when they are in the moodC. when they find conditions suitable D. when they feel fit79. A suitable title for the passage might be _____.A. Attitudes to Study B. Study PlansC. The Difficulties in Study D. Study and Self-discipline.

Don’t ask whether the proposed 3 billion merger (兼并) of United Airlines and Continental will benefit you. It won’t. Because this isn’t about you. It’s about them. Specifically, it’s about the need for the airlines to raise fares and increase revenues after years of unreasonable discounting that led to billions in losses. “For the airlines, it’s a good thing,” says Matthew Smith, an airline analyst (分析师) at Majestic Research. “By not having as much supply, they can fly fuller planes, charge higher prices and operate more efficiently. For the customers, well, I don’t think they’re going to see planes that are only two-thirds full or bargain – basement prices from airlines desperate to fill seats.” In a joint press release, the new company promised “strong competitive pressure on fares,” but in reality that pressure has been coming from budget carriers such as Southwest and JetBlue. Those of us in the back of the bus may have to worry about employees who have lost some seniority (老资格) in a joined workforce. Labor issues might be a problem, says Perkins, contributing editor of He remembers the strike of 1985 in United Airlines. “If and when they start making money,” says Perkins, “those unions could turn around and say, ‘We gave it up when you needed it. Where’s our share? ’” The potential for a strike worries him, since the new united company will hold 21 percent of the market and finding a replacement seat in the event of a strike could be next to impossible. As for fares, there’s no place to go but up. After Delta merged with Northwest, fares on their combined routes rose at least 10 percent, according to George Hobica, founder of But that’s no reason to panic. “The vast majority of leisure travel is optional,” he says. “When airlines raise fares, people stop flying. So they’ll have to be careful.” Even if this merger prompts a US Airways link-up and even more integration, Hobica doesn’t think we’re going to see wild fare increases. But it definitely means that you have to say goodbye to the past. “I’ve enjoyed the ride,” says Hobica with a sigh. “But the party’s over.”1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A) The merged airlines will get their revenues increased soon after.B) After the merger, airlines have to try harder to make the planes full.C) The merged airlines will no longer offer discount to attract customers.D) Before the merger, airlines have suffered great loss from discounting. 2. The word “promised” (Para. 1) most closely means ___________.A) predicted in advance B) gave a commitmentC) explained in detailD) looked forward to3. What does Perkins worry about?A) The new airline company doesn’t want to employ senior workers.B) The new airline company holds too much share of the market.C) If a strike happens, the new airline company will face a hard situation. D) If the new airline makes money, its labor unions may share the profit.4. What does Hobica mean by “the party’s over” at the end of the passage?A) Leisure travel will never come back again.B) The days when fares were cheap are gone. C) People may choose other means of travelling.D) The merger of airline companies is common now.5. What does the author think of the merger of the two airline companies?A) It will bring mixed blessings to the two companies. B) It will cause much pressure to other airline companies.C) It will create panic among its employees and customers.D) It will enable the two companies to survive in the market.

This year's pandemic (流行病) spreads around the globe with record-breaking speed. It has taken less than two months for the H1N1 to spread, while previous pandemics took six months or longer. Yet Dr. Keiji Fukuda of the World Health Organization warns this global occurrence is still in the early stages. "We have a very large global population, and it is quite clear that we'll continue to see spread of this virus through countries, and then among countries," he said. Most of the patients have been teenagers, between 12 and 17 years old. But the virus is spreading more deeply into many communities and the WHO says the average age of patients now appears to be getting slightly older. While young people and pregnant women are still at higher risk for contracting the H1N1 virus, health officials also caution that patients with certain diseases are easy to be infected. Some clinical trials of potential vaccines (疫苗) are underway, others will start soon. The European Medicines Agency says large-scale clinical trials will be ignored in order to get vaccines into the general population as soon as possible. Health officials in Britain, Greece, France and Sweden have announced they will begin inoculations (接种) among the public possibly within weeks. The WHO's Dr. Fukuda has not criticized that decision, but expressed concern about rushing vaccine production too soon. "There are certain things which cannot be compromised," he explains. "And one of the things which cannot be compromised is the safety of vaccines. There can't be any questions whether the vaccine is safe or not." Meanwhile, WHO says countries with widespread infections have switched from reporting individual testing of all patients to monitoring and reporting trends in the population. According to the WHO, testing of patients has strained the laboratory capacity of many countries. Dr. Fukuda believes health officials can still accurately predict the pandemic's size. "We know that the total number of laboratory confirmed cases is really only a part of the total number of cases," he asserts. Recently, the international health organization said it would no longer publish global tables reporting the number of new cases for all countries.1. According to the passage, H1N1 is different from other pandemics in that it can ________.A) pose special threat to teenagersB) spread with an alarming speed C) infect people of all racesD) cause much more deaths2. What does Dr. Keiji Fukuda think of the future development of H1N1?A) It will reach its final stage in six months.B) It will stop as vaccines are underway.C) It will spread among more countries. D) It will become milder as winter comes.3. On average, who are most likely to be infected with H1N1?A) Newly born babies.B) People with colds.C) Old people.D) Young people. 4. What does Dr. Fukuda think of the inoculations of vaccines in Europe?A) He is worried about the side-effects of the vaccines.B) He is concerned with the safety of the vaccines. C) He is doubtful of the effectiveness of the vaccines.D) He is critical of the use of vaccines without trials.5. According to the WHO, the current focus of fighting against H1N1 should be on ________.A) predicting the future trend B) researching effective vaccinesC) treating infected patientsD) reporting numbers of cases

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
