    Once my friend Peterson bought a pack of chicken, the brand of which was very famous at that time. But when he got home he found that the chicken had gone bad. He took the chicken back to the shop and he was paid twice of the price. We may say now he should have been satisfied but my friend would not like to stop. He decided to write a letter to Frank,  president of the company, who was also the founder of the chicken brand.
    About a week later he received a letter written by the president himself. In the letter he apologized to my friend for the company whole-heartedly.

    Do’s and Don’ts in Whale(鲸) Watching
    The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.
    · Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.
    · Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.
    · Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.
    · Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.
    · Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.
    · Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.
    · Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.
    · Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.
    · When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.
    · Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.
    · If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.
    · Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines

    Growers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine. They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines (葡萄藤).The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. The grapevines, like other plants, need to be cut every year.
    Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better. But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the cutting. Instead, the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs.www.zxxk.com
    David Johnson owns the vineyard. He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand. The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job. They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes. They only weigh about 22 kilograms, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good organic fertilizer. In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer. And when the cutting is done in August, the lambs become tasty dishes.
    Mr Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand. But there are not nearly as many in Ontario. Also, some organic pesticides (杀虫剂) are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines.
    David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming. They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard. People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job

    It’s going to be a busy day at Betsy Ross house in Philadelphia on Thursday. She won’t be there, since she died in 1836, but hundreds of tourists will be going through her house.
    You see, Thursday is Flag Day in the United States. The unofficial holiday commemorates the adoption of the stars-and-stripes design of the American flag by the Continental Congress 235 years ago, on June 14, 1777. According to lore, the Ross House is the birthplace of the nation’s flag. That’s open to debate, but it’s a story that schoolbooks still tell. Betsy Ross was a seamstress, busy  sewing cushions for chairs in Philadelphia, which was the focus place of the American revolution against British rule. The Declaration of Independence by the colonists was signed there, and so was the new nation’s Constitution after independence was won.
    Widowed when her husband, a member of the local militia, was killed in a gunpowder explosion, Betsy Ross often mended the clothes of the rebels’ leader and future U.S. president, George Washington.  According to what some say in history and others a stretch of what really happened, Washington asked Ross to design and sew the new nation’s flag. The story was promoted by Ross grandson, who wrote that Betsy Ross had “made with her hands the first flag.” She became a role model for girls - a shining example of women’s contributions to the nation’s history. Most research indicates that Ross did sew the first flag. She’s credited with substituting artful five-point white stars for six-pointed ones in the upper-left blue field. But many other accounts indicate George Washington brought the design to Ross and simply asked her to stitch it together.  
    In a letter, Washington wrote: “We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her.  And the white stripes shall go down to posterity as representing liberty.”

    1. 1.

      People would like to go to Ross’s house in Philadelphia to _____

      1. A.
        ask Betsy Ross who created the first American flag
      2. B.
        meet her grandson who wrote a book about flags
      3. C.
        debate over who designed the first American flag
      4. D.
        remember her as the creator of the first American flag
    2. 2.

      Which statement is true according to the passage?

      1. A.
        Betsy Ross was one of the people who signed The Declaration of Independence
      2. B.
        All are in agreement that Ross designed the first American flag
      3. C.
        It is almost certain that Ross did sew the first American flag
      4. D.
        It is George Washington who designed the stars and stripes flag
    3. 3.

      The underlined the word “seamstress” in Paragraph 2 probably means_____

      1. A.
        a person who designs flags
      2. B.
        a person who makes a living by sewing
      3. C.
        a person who takes part in revolution
      4. D.
        a person who creates chairs
    4. 4.

      What does the last paragraph imply according to the passage?

      1. A.
        It implies that the U.S. is independent from Britain
      2. B.
        It implies that Washington liked Ross’s design of the flag
      3. C.
        It implies that Washington might be the designer of the flag
      4. D.
        It implies that Ross did have helped with the design of the flag

    Many crimes and social problems are caused by children. Despite the damage these teenage criminals cause, parents are not responsible in most countries. This article will discuss whether parents should be forced to pay for their children’s crimes.
    There are many reasons why parents should not be responsible for crimes committed by teenage children. First of all, teenagers today are independent. They often move out of the parents’ house at 18 years of age or younger. They are expected to learn to take care of themselves and make their own decisions, and not to stay like small children attached to their parents. Secondly, parents are working. They cannot watch their adolescent children all the time. A third point is that even children from good families can sometimes commit crimes. Parents should not be responsible if they have worked hard to raise their children properly.
    However, young troublemakers cause many problems, and I feel we should make parents responsible. Firstly, most juvenile（未成年的）crimes are committed by adolescents whose parents do not care or make any effort to control their children. If parents had to pay fines（罚款）, they might make more effort. Another point is that even though the children may seem mature, they are not really able to make good decisions. Parents should be responsible for raising and teaching their children until they are fully grown. Furthermore, if children know that their parents will have to pay, they will think carefully before getting into trouble.
    In summary, there are good reasons both for and against making parents pay for acts committed by their children. However, I feel strongly that if we want to reduce the number of such crimes, we need to make parents take more responsibility

    1. 1.

      Those who insist that parents should not be responsible for their children’s crimes believe that ________.
      a. teenagers are able to deal with things on their own
      b. children need to experience difficulties to be fully grown
      c. it’s impossible for parents to be with their children all the time
      d. parents are not to blame as long as they try their best to educate their children

      1. A.
        a, c, d
      2. B.
        a, b, c
      3. C.
        b, c, d
      4. D.
        a, b, d
    2. 2.

      According to Paragraph 3, the main reason for children’s crimes is ________

      1. A.
        unstable social environment
      2. B.
        parents’ carelessness
      3. C.
        bad family relationship
      4. D.
        heavy financial burden
    3. 3.

      The author thinks that making parents pay for their children’s crimes is ________

      1. A.
        useless
      2. B.
        easy
      3. C.
        necessary
      4. D.
        impractical
    4. 4.

      What can be the best title for the passage?

      1. A.
        Proper ways to educate children
      2. B.
        Reasons for children’s crimes
      3. C.
        Should children move out?
      4. D.
        Should parents pay?

    As anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. That’s partly because most people who set realistic goals actually work more efficiently, and put more effort, to achieve those goals.
    What’s far less understood by scientists, however, are the potentially harmful effects of goal-setting. Newspapers convey daily accounts of goal-setting widespread in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street, yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the long-advocated practice of setting goals may have contributed to the current economic crisis, and immoral behavior in general.
    “Goals are widely used and promoted as having really beneficial effects. And yet, the same motivation that can push people to put more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to engage in immoral behaviors,” says Maurice Schweitzer, an associate professor at Penn’s Wharton School. His paper, titled “Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Praised Goal Setting,” appears in the February issue of the Academy of Management Perspectives.
    “It turns out there’s no financial benefit to just having a goal---you just get a psychological benefit” Schweitzer says. “But in many cases, goals have financial rewards that make them more powerful.”
    A major example Schweitzer and his colleagues give is the 2004 breakdown of energy-trading giant Enron( 德国安然公司), where managers used financial rewards to motivate salesmen to meet specific goals. The problem, Schweitzer says, is that the actual trades were not profitable. 
    Other studies have shown that burdening employees with unrealistic goals can force them to lie, cheat or steal. Such was the case in the early 1990s when Sears（西尔斯公司）placed a sales quota (销售限额) on its auto repair staff. It inspired employees to overcharge for work and to complete unnecessary repairs on a companywide basis.
    Schweitzer admits his research runs counter to a very large body of literature that praises the many benefits of goal-setting. Advocates of the practice have argued with his team’s use of such evidence as news accounts to support his conclusion that goal-setting is widely over-praised.
    In a rebuttal (反驳) paper, Dr. Edwin Locke writes: “Goal-setting is not going away. Organizations cannot grow without being focused on their desired end results any more than an individual can grow without goals to provide a sense of purpose.”
    But Schweitzer argues the “evidence” linking goal-setting and harmful behavior should be studied to help draw attention to issues that deserve attention and further investigation. “Even a few negative effects could be so large that they outweigh many positive effects,” he says.
    The debate is likely to get heated on in future papers, and the practice of setting goals no doubt will continue. For now, though, the lesson seems to be to put more thought into setting goals.
    “Goal-setting does help motivate people. My idea would be to combine that with careful management, a strong organizational culture, and make sure the goals that you use are going to be constructive and not significantly harmful to the organization,” Schweitzer says

    1. 1.

      What does Maurice Schweitzer want to show by mentioning the example of Enron?

      1. A.
        Setting realistic goals can turn a failing business into success
      2. B.
        Businesses are likely to succeed without realistic goals
      3. C.
        Companies are certain to meet specific goals with financial rewards
      4. D.
        Goals with financial rewards have strong motivational power
    2. 2.

      How did Sears’ goal-setting affect its employees?

      1. A.
        They had to work more hours to increase their sales
      2. B.
        They competed with one another to attract more customers
      3. C.
        They turned to immoral practice to reach their goals
      4. D.
        They improved their customer service on a companywide basis
    3. 3.

      The underlined words “runs counter to” (Paragraph 7) can be replaced by ________

      1. A.
        agrees with
      2. B.
        goes against
      3. C.
        fits in with
      4. D.
        applies to
    4. 4.

      What is Edwin Locke’s argument against Schweitzer?

      1. A.
        The practice of setting goals only helps people to develop
      2. B.
        Goal-setting is of no use motivating people to accomplish their tasks
      3. C.
        The positive effects of goal-setting outweigh its negative effects
      4. D.
        Studying goal-setting can contribute to successful business practices
    5. 5.

      According to the passage, the author tries to convey ___________

      1. A.
        the goals that most people set are unrealistic
      2. B.
        all people can improve their work quality by setting goals
      3. C.
        setting goals can provide people with a sense of purpose
      4. D.
        people should not ignore the negative effects of goal-setting

    One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.
    “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.
    The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said.“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”
    When the couple declined, the young man pressed on.“Don’t worry about me; I’ll make out just fine.” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.
    As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk,“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy.
    Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round—trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
    The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That,” said the older man,“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.”“You must be joking,” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not,” said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.
    The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf—Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C.Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels
