     Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest
government official always takes extra（额外的）time to be polite and  offer refreshments. No matter
how busy you are, you should make time for this.
     The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have
to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with
your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into
the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave.
     Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is vagueness in doing business in the Middle
East which will puzzle a new-comer. Give yourself lots of time and ask them lots of questions.
     When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he probably means "no".
You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of "no", he
will say "inshallah", which means "if God is willing." On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean
"yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An
Arab thinks that it is impolite to disagree with a guest.

1. The main purpose of this article is to explain ______.

A. why you need extra time when you visit Arab countries
B. how to be polite when doing business in the Arab world
C. why Arab officials are so busy
D. what Arabs say when doing business

2. From this article we know that ______.

A. when an Arab wants to say "yes", he often says "maybe"
B. an Arab seldom disagrees with a guest to his face
C. when an Arab agrees, a smile and a slow nod will be given
D. "inshallah" is an English word

3. Which of the following is NOT an Arab custom?

A. To dislike being interrupted during their meeting.
B. Often to give you a vague answer.
C. Seldom to say "no" directly.
D. Seldom to hesitate to start talking business in the presence of strangers.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

      We live in a time when the day is controlled by selfishness and greed. The battle of selfishness
and greed has been increasingly fierce and there have been many casualties, but desire has tired too
many people and we find that the populated areas of the twenty-first century have lost hope for the
boring symphony of selfishness. Now I have several suggestions that will get you back on your feet,
so that you can continue walking down the road of life with your head held high, arm in arm with
your fellow man as equal.
      Money isn’t everything. There exists a common understanding that everything around us is
measured by money and an assumption that the meaning of life is to make as much of it as humanly
possible, so that you can live a comfortable and luxurious life. It is clear that money is indeed necessary
to get through life, whether spent on food or shelter, but the air we breathe and the love we share are
both free and extremely rewarding. Too many people die alone, only to be remembered for their full
bank accounts or their shocking debts, so we must be remembered for our kindness to others and
contributions to society.
     Share with others. A miser is a person who cares extremely about their wealth and takes from
everyone everything, with only one thing in their mind that they demand more. Not only are misers
hated by the people surrounding them, but they are also the death of many men. Some of us will
never admit that they take far more than they give. We are supposed to give a little, even if we receive
nothing in return. Show generosity to your friends, co-workers, family, neighbors and you will be on
your way to removing the greed from your life.
     Act unselfishly. We must learn to act unselfishly for people and help whoever in need, not because
doing so makes us feel superior, not to expect something in return either, but because it helps them
survive, which makes them feel connected with the world, with a smile on their face and a strong
need to give to others. By acting unselfishly, we will teach others how to act unselfishly too. Next
time you stick your neck out for a selfish miser, be optimistic and think that maybe he will learn to
pay it forward by following your example.

The current （1） ____▲	Nowadays selfishness and greed have controlled our life, the battle of which have been much (2) ▲
How to remove the greed from your life	Have a right (3) ____▲ towards money	lIt’s (4) ▲ thought that everything us is measured by money and we are supposed o try our best to make more money to live a life of (5) ▲ and luxury. (6) ▲ as money is, the air we breathe and the love we share are both free and extremely important.
	Share with others	lPeople dislike those who are extremely (7) ____▲ about their wealth and take far more than they give. Be (8) ▲ to your friends, co-workers, family and neighbors.
	Do unselfish acts	Help anyone who needs help without expecting

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

     When difficult people express themselves orally,they generally want at least two things: they've been
heard and they've been understood.As a good communicator should be a good listener,five steps are
advocated toward good listening.
     The first step is cooperating(合作). How does a difficult person know that you're listening and
understanding? In fact, it's through the way you look and sound while he is talking.You may help him to
fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certain
sounds of understanding.
     When the person begins to repeat what's been said, it's a signal of step two: turning back. It means
that you repeat back some words he is using,sending a clear signal that you're listening carefully and that
you think what he is saying is important.
     Having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying. At this point, you start to gather information about what is being communicated. Ask some open ended questions, which will allow you to figure out
what intention he is hoping to satisfy.
     The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you've heard. This allows you to make sure that both you
and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this,two things happen. First, if you've
missed something, he can fill in the details(细节). Second, you've shown that you're making an effort to
understand completely. This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation from him.
     Having listened carefully, you've now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels
satisfied that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood. When enough sincere
listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is usually achieved and a
difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.

     On my path to the great distant mountain peak, I came to a wide river. Looking far to the right and

pleasant and had    14 me across the great river; I had grown to  15   that boat deeply. Yet I knew that
the boat had its   16   in the river, and that it couldn't follow my path to the mountain.   17   I tried to take
that boat along, it could not have made the journey with me, and would have stopped my own  18 .
      And as I watched, the little boat turned around and went back to the far shore, there to assist yet
another   19   the path to the mountain. And I realized how"all   20 together for good", for each part of

     One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break
and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been
hindering (阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼)
in the room that has been prepared in the gym."
     At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they
started getting curious about who this person might be.
The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone
wondered:  "Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he's no longer here."
     One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they
became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched
the deepest part of their soul.
     There was a mirror inside the coffin. Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was
also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it
is YOU."
     You are the only person who can revolutionize (彻底改变) your life. You are the only person who
can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help
yourself.
     Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss
changes, and when your company changes.
     Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize
that you are the only one responsible for your life.

     If you haven't heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you've probably
been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon,
considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or
Road Rage recently if you drive at all.
     While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as
disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association,
41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about
two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
     Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed
almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably
partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on
the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by
35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means
more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people
have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and
activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to
short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
     You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised.
For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard an
another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of
these situations, watch out!
     Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there
are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are easily influenced by Road Rage, the
key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver's rage,
do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact
and getting out of their way.

1. The first sentence in Para. 1 implies that ______.

A. one may be angered by media reports and wants to avoid them
B. the media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago
C. Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months
D. people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings

2. The underlined word "spell" in Para. 3 means ________.

A. relieve
B. cause
C. spread
D. prevent

3. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?

A. Talking while driving.
B. Driving at high speed.
C. Sounding the horn when passing.
D. Shouting at another driver.

4. The last paragraph is intended to _________.

A. tell people how to deal with Road Rage
B. inform people how aggressive drivers could be
C. show people how to control themselves when angry
D. warn people against eye contact with another driver

      I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a
sportsman Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit, but it is
not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father's age,
but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
      A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, "Fifty is what forty used to be. "He
had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been
moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily
cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
     "You're not getting older, you're getting better, "says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the
kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
       And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net,l am moved to
share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and
mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies
(悼词). In fact,a poet named Robert
Browning considered it the best change of all:
                       Grow old along with me!
                        The best is yet to be.
      whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will
settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead
with a curious blend (混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher (哲学家) was right when he said, "Old is always fifteen years from now. "

1. When the author turned fifty, people around him_________.

A. tried to comfort him
B. got inspirations from him
C. were friendlier with him
D. found him more talkative

2. The author considers his fifty years of life__________.

A. peaceful
B. ordinary
C. satisfactory
D. regretful

A. the old should lead a simple life

     Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping,
according to a study published last week in the US.
    For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2011 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases(购买) were women.
     "It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming", said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.
     Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because
women traditionally make decisions about spending.
      Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29
were responsible for some of the most dramatic increases in the online gift-buying population this time
around.
      However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2011. They
worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then
dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
     "But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores," said Dan
Hess, vice president of Comscore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make
customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts
arrive on time. "It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more
comfortable." Hess said.

1. Which of the following statements is true?

A. More women shopped online than men in 2011.
B. There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2011．
C. Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
D. People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.

2. From the passage we can infer that________.

A. men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B. women usually decide what to buy in the family
C. the Internet is used in all the shops.
D. more and more shops will sell their goods online.

3. According to Dan Hess, shopping online is ___________.

A. unsafe
B. convenient
C. a waste of time
D. cheaper

4. What can we know from the passage?

A. American people only buy gifts in holidays.
B. Shopping online is fun for women.
C. Shopping off-line provides better service.
D. Young people like to do gift-shopping online.
