The endless debate about "work-life balance" often contains a hopeful footnote about stay-at-home dads．If American society and business won't make it easier on future female leaders who choose to have children，there is still the ray of hope that increasing numbers of full-time fathers will． But based on today's socioeconomic trends，this hope is，unfortunately，misguided． It's true that the number of men who have left work to do their thing as full-time parents has doubled in a decade，but it's still very small：only 0.8%of married couples where the stay-at-home father was out of the labor force for a year．Even that percentage is likely inflated by men thrust into their caretaker role by a downsizing．This is simply not a large enough group to reduce the social stigma(污名)and force other adjustments necessary to supporting men in this decision， even if only for a relatively short time． Even shorter times away from work for working fathers are already difficult．A study found that 85%of new fathers take some time off after the birth of a child-but for all but a few．it's a week or two at most． Meanwhile，the average for women who take leave is more than l0weeks． Such choices impact who moves up in the organization．While you're away，someone else is doing your work，making your sales，taking care of your customers．That can't help you at work．It can only hurt you．Women，of course，face the same issues of returning after a long absence．But with many more women than men choosing to leave the workforce entirely to raise families，returning from an extended parental leave doesn't raise as many eyebrows as it does for men． Women would make more if they didn't break their earning trajectory(轨迹)by leaving the workforce，or if higher-paying professions were more family- friendly．In the foreseeable future，stay-at-home fathers may make all the difference for individual families， but their presence won't reduce the numbers of high-potential women who are forced to choose between family and career． (1) What gives women a ray of hope to achieve work-life balance？ ______ A. More men taking an extended parental leave． B. People's changing attitudes towards family． C. More women entering business management． D. The improvement of their socioeconomic status． (2) Why does the author say the hope for more full-time fathers is misguided？ ______ A. Women are better at taking care of children． B. Many men value work more than their family． C. Their number is too small to make a difference． D. Not many men have the chance to stay at home． (3) Why do few men take a long parental leave？ ______ A. A long leave will have a negative impact on their career． B. They just have too many responsibilities to fulfill at work． C. The economic loss will be too much for their family to bear． D. They are likely to get fired if absent from work for too lon9． (4) What does the author say about high-potential women in the not-too-distant future？ ______ A. They will benefit from the trend of more fathers staying at home． B. They will still face the difficult choice between career and children． C. They are unlikely to break their career trajectory to raise a family． D. They will find high-paying professions a bit more family-friendly．
Picture a typical MBA lecture theatre twenty years ago.In it the majority of students will have conformed to（符合）the standard model of the time：male，middle class and Western.Walk into a class today，however，and you'll get a completely different impression.For a start，you will now see plenty more women the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School，for example，boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female；you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country. It might be tempting，therefore，to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved.But，increasingly，this apparent diversity（多样化） is becoming a mask for a new type of conformity.Behind the differences in sex，skin tones and mother tongues，there are common attitudes，expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set clones among the business leaders of the future. Diversity，it seems，has not helped to deal with basic weaknesses in business leadership.So，what can be done to create more effective managers of the commercial world？According to Valerie Gauthier，associate dean at HEC Paris，the key lies in the process by which MBA programs recruit their students.At the moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of standards such as previous academic and career performance，and analytical and problem solving abilities.This is then coupled to a school's mixture of what a diverse class should look like，with the result that passport，ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors.But schools rarely dig down to find out what really makes an applicant succeed，to create a class which also contains diversity of attitude and approach arguably the only diversity that，in a business context，really matters. Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking，consultancy and industry.They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science，the creative arts，history or philosophy，which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context. Indeed，there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might create.A study by Mannaz，a leadership development company，suggests that，while the bully boy chief executive of old may not have been removed completely，there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of management at least in America and Europe.Perhaps most significant，according to Mannaz，is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models，such as those popular in Scandinavia，which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.（1）What characterizes the business school student population of today？ ____ A.Greater diversityB.Intellectual maturity.C.Exceptional diligence.D.Higher ambition.（2）What is the author's concern about current business school education？ ____ A.It will arouse students' unrealistic expectation.B.It will produce business leaders of a uniform style.C.It focuses on theory rather than on practical skills.D.It stresses competition rather than cooperation.（3）What aspect of diversity does Valerie Gauthier think is most important？ ____ A.ge and educational background.B.Social and professional experience.C.Attitude and approach to business.D.Ethnic origin and gender.（4）What applicants does the author think MBA programs should consider recruiting？ ____ A.pplicants with prior experience in business companies.B.Applicants with sound knowledge in math and statistics.C.Applicants from outside the traditional sectors.D.Applicants from less developed regions and areas.（5）The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____ .A.effectiveB.traditionalC.decisiveD.joint

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for

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.

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.
