    阅读下列短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
    During his college years, Rogers spent his summer holidays at an Idaho logging camp (伐木场). When Roy, the manager, had to leave for a few days, he put Rogers in charge. "What if the workers refuse to follow my orders?" Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who was always giving the other men a hard time. "Fire them," Roy said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, "I suppose you want to fire Tony if you get the chance. I’d feel bad about that. Tony is the most reliable worker I’ve ever had. I know he complains a lot, but he comes first and leaves last. There has not been an accident on the hill where he works for eight years." Rogers took over the manager’s job the next day. He went to Tony and spoke to him, "Tony, did you know that I’m in charge today?" Tony didn’t show any respect or interest. "I was going to fire you because you once gave me a hard time, but I want you to know I’m not," he told Tony, adding what Roy had said. When Rogers finished, tears streamed down Tony’s face. That day Tony worked harder than ever before —and he smiled for the first time! Rogers went back to school after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again. He was in charge of one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he managed to become so successful. Tony replied, "If it were not for that time you spoke to me back in Idaho, I would not be myself today. That one minute changed my whole life." Have you got one minute to appreciate someone? It can make a difference for a lifetime.
    1. Which of the following statements about Tony is TRUE?
    A. He didn’t care about his work.
    B. He never showed respect to his co-workers.
    C. Nobody liked Tony because of his bad temper.

    2. The manager’s attitude towards Tony is _____.
    A. strict      B. doubtful   C. satisfied      D. negative
    3. Rogers changed his mind and didn’t fire Tony because _______.
    A. Tony smiled at him
    B. he learned more about Tony’s work
    C. Roy didn’t give him the power to fire anyone
    D. Tony didn’t give him a hard time anymore
    4. What can we learn from Tony’s success?
    A. It’s never too late to learn.           
    B. Well begun is half done.
    C. It’s necessary to work with a wise boss.
    D. It’s important to recognize others’ good qualities.

    There is nothing else but economy that occupies the minds of Americans at present times of economic crisis（危机）. The statistics on unemployment，housing costs and consumer confidence keep coming and coming，leaving people not just scared to spend money but also very stressed and emotionally exhausted. This stress has an effect on everything，starting with our sleep，mood，physical health，relationships and eating habits.
    “Time of economic stress leads to increase rates of depression(忧郁)，”says Dr. Christopher Palmer，director of continuing education at McLean Hospital in Belmont，Massachusetts. “It worsens illness in people who have been constantly depressed. But it also causes new cases of depression. Just the fear of losing one’s job can put people over the edge. ”
    And，without any doubt，just depression alone can create a variety of bad health effects.
    ●Sleep
    33 percent of Americans reported that they have lost sleep due to the economic crisis. 26 percent say they are sleeping less than 6 hours per night，which is considered to be at least one hour less than the most favorable 7 to 8 hours recommended by sleep experts.
    ●Mental health，stress and heart attack
    80 percent of Americans reported that last year the economy is a huge source of stress; 49 percent said the situation makes them feel nervous or anxious; 48 percent reported that they feel very sad and have developed depression.
    Nearly twice the risk of heart attack or death was found in patients with the highest levels of depression or anxiety. Among those individuals，a 10 percent higher rise of heart attack or death was found in those whose anxiety rose over time.
    ●Relationships
    The chances of violent behavior are nearly 6 times higher for individuals who are left without a job. Workplace stress can lead to domestic violence.

    C

           The words “timetable” and  “schedule” make most final year students want to eat their own vomit（呕吐物）. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you don’t have a schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected arises. A well-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver . It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs .Change it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.
    A good timetable should make every hour count—every class ,social event and other activity you engage in .You must focus on the other “free time” available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and divided each day into one-hour increments .Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This gives you a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances need.
    The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available time in the most productive manner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but don’t dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule you’ve prepared .A good deal of your success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.
    Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it progressively deteriorates（减弱）. After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way, you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.
    64．What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Advantages of starting a timetable         B．Keep to it ,and you will succeed
    C．Make a schedule ,and follow it             D．Learn to love your timetable
    65．What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
    A．Tips for making a schedule.                  B．Significance of a scientific timetable.
    C．Requirements for making a timetable.    D．Importance of following one’s schedule.
    66．The following are characteristics of a good timetable EXCEPT that    .
    A．it can be changed                                 B．it is flexible
    C．it is of many periods                            D．it can save our time
    67．From this passage ,we can learn if we wish to achieve high learning efficiency, we’d better    .
    A．shift subjects and use different methods regularly
    B．devote to the same material continuously
    C．turn to teachers for help if necessary
    D．have a break every thirty minutes

    The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state__16___ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___17___. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___18___ out any necessary facts.
    In writing a letter of application, keep in ___19___ that the things a possible employer is most ___20___ to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___21___ the first few sentences fail to ___22___ the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be __23___ at all.

    Try to ___28___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___29___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___30___ in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no ___31___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___32___.
    It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___33___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent ___34___ is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it ___35___ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

    For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.
    But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.
    How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant “my uncle.”
    The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet (字母). They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.
    Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.
    1. The deaf “talked” to other people __________.
    A. by moving their hands, faces and bodies
    B. by shouting and singing
    C. without using any letters         
    D. without using any language
    2. The deaf could spell out words __________.
    A. by reading them aloud
    B. by going here and there
    C. by expressing the letters with their fingers
    D. by watching others

    A. write sentences quickly
    B. understand others by lip-reading
    C. be good at mind-reading
    D. keep alone happily
    4. The story as a whole is about __________.

    Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.
    As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.
    “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.
    “Then I will make it so, “she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work . Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
    After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.
    Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.
    1．When she was a child, Florence ____.
    A．loved to travel very much          B．knew what her duty in life was
    C．loved to help sick people    D．was most interested in music and drawing
    2．During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____.
    A．she earned a little money               B．work was very difficult
    C．few soldiers died because of her work   D．she didn’t have enough food or clothes
    3．The passage can best be described as ____.

    C．an example of successful education     D．the history of nursing in England
