    [　　]

    A．when
    B．where
    C．what
    D．which
    答案：
    解析：

    根据句意和结构，for后为一宾语从句表目的。what和which是连接代词，不能在从句中作状语，应先排除。when和where均为连接副词，都可在从句中作状语，但这句意思是“他已经在乡下买了一个小别墅供他退休时用”，故答案选A。

    　　Success or failures of employees in the workplace can be traced to what kind of father they had, a psychologist argues in a new book．

    　　In The Father Factor, Stephan Poulter lists five styles of fathers－super-achieving, time-bomb, passive, absent and warm-hearted－who have powerful influences on the careers of their sons and daughters．

    　　Children of the “time-bomb” father, for example, who explodes in anger at his family, learn how to read people and their moods．Those abilities make them good at such jobs as personnel managers or negotiators, he writes．

    　　But those same children may have trouble feeling safe and developing trust, said Poulter, a clinical psychologist who also works with children in Los Angeles schools．

    　　“I’ve seen more people hit their heads on what they call a glass ceiling or cement wall in their careers, and it’s what I call the father factor,” Poulter said in an interview．“What role did your father have in your life?It’s this unknown variable that has this huge influence because we’re all sons and daughters．”

    　　Styles of fathering can affect whether their children get along with others at work, have a team spirit, worry too much about their careers, burn out or become the boss, Poulter writes．

    　　Even absent fathers affect how their children work, he writes．

    　　Those children may be overachievers, becoming the person their father never was, or develop such anger toward supervisors or authority figures that they work best when they are self-employed, he writes．

    　　Poulter co-authored an earlier book on mothers and daughters called Mending the Broken Bough．The Fatehr Factor is set for release next month by Prometheus Books．

    Many people have tried to simplify (简化) the spelling of English words.Unlike other languages，English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.For example，there is “light” but “white”，“loan” but “phone”，and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”：“though”，“through”，“bough”，“cough”，“enough”，“ought” and “thorough”．

    The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906，Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board’s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For example，the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”．Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey，the head of the New York libraries，and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt，who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.

    But people didn’t like the change，even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.More importantly，when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan，they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians，he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

    Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However，people do simplify some words，mainly in advertisements.For example，we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”．

    68．Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because________.

    A．English words are too long to remember

    B．there are many mistakes in English words

    C．lots of words are spelt in many different ways

    D．sometimes the same sounds have different spellings

    69．Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?

    A．Andrew Carnegie.                               B．Melvil Dewey.

    C．Theodore Roosevelt.                            D．Brander Matthews.

    70．What was Theodore Roosevelt’s attitude towards simplified spelling?

    A．Worried.                                             B．Supportive. 

    C．Uncertain.                                          D．Doubtful.
