    18．A jobless man applied for the position of"office boy"at Microsoft．The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test．
    "You are employed，"he said．"Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in，as well as date when you may start．"The man replied，"But I don't have a computer，neither an e-mail．"
    "I'm sorry，"said the HR manager．"If you don't have an e-mail，that means you do not exist．And who doesn't exist cannot have the job．"
    The man left with no hope at all．He didn't know what to do，with only ten dollars in his pocket．He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes．He then sold the tomatoes from door to door．In less than two hours，he succeeded to double his capital．He repeated the operation three times，and returned home happily with 60 dollars．
    The man realized that he can survive in this way，and started to go every day earlier，and return late．Thus，his money doubled or tripled every day．Shortly，he bought a cart，then a truck，and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles．Five years later，the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US．
    He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance．He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan．
    When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail．The man replied，"I don't have an e-mail．"
    The broker answered curiously，"You don't have an e-mail，and yet have succeeded to build an empire．Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail？"The man thought for a while and replied，"Yes，I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

    8．Shyness can make people feel awkward，worried or tense on social occasions．Shyness is the cause of much（1）B for a great many people．Shy people often feel（2）C and are self-conscious； that is，they are over concerned with their own（3）B and actions．For example，they often ask themselves"Am I wearing unattractive clothes？"
    Obviously，it is such a（n）（4）D feeling that people must be affected unfavorably．A person's self concept is reflected in the way he or she（5）A and affects other people's attitudes towards him or her．In general，the way people think about themselves has a deep influence on all areas of their lives．Shy people，with low self-esteem（自尊），are likely to be passive and easily（6）D by others．They need reassurance that they are doing"the（7）C thing"．Shy people are very（8）A to criticism．It makes them feel inferior（低人一等）．They also find it difficult to be（9）C by pleasing words because they believe they are unworthy of it．A shy person may respond to a（n）（10）D with a statement like this one："You're just saying that to make me feel good．I know it's not true．"
    It is clear that，while self-awareness is a （n）（11）A quality，overdoing it is harmful．Can shyness be（12）B got rid of，or at least reduced？Fortunately，people can make it with determination．It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their（13）B   and remember that it is （14）D for them to label themselves inferior because each individual is（15）A and has his or her own characteristics．

    13．I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard．I woke up and my mom was screaming my name．Next moment I was running along with my younger sister，mom and dad．Before I ran out of the door，I realized my elder sister hadn't come out yet．So I screamed her name at the top of my voice．My mom said she had gone to her class．Then the four of us，along with many others，were running on the staircase．We lived on the seventh floor，so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor．My dad's head was injured by something falling down．I did try to put my hand over his head．When we reached the sixth floor，the building split into two．We had no way to get down．

    That day we saw the power of nature．It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure．

    3．Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by the shark （鲨鱼）．
    Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms．Lauren Smith，24，is close to completing her study on shark's ability to sense pressure．If her studies prove the theory，scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather．
    Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks in the Bahamas．
    She then used their close relatives，lesser spotted dogfish，for further research at Aberdeen University．
    Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory----resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001．
    Miss Smith said："I've always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks．"
    "I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree．I know there's so much more we need to understand----but it certainly opens the way to more research．"
    It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system．
    At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas，Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature，while also tracking them using GPS （Global Positioning System） technology．
    In Aberdeen，she was able to study the effects of tidal （潮汐的） and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed．She also used a special lab which can mimic （模拟） oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts．
    She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year．She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research．
    72．The passage is most probably taken fromB．
    A．a short-story collection
    B．a popular science magazine
    C．a research paper
    D．a personal diary
    73．What do we learn from the first four paragraphs of the passage？A
    A．Sharks may be used to predict bad weather．
    B．Sharks'behavior can be controlled．
    C．Michael Fish is not fit for his job．
    D．Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster．
    74．Lauren Smith conducted her research byD．
    A．removing hair cells from a shark's balance system
    B．measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
    C．recording sharks'body temperature
    D．monitoring sharks'reaction to weather changes
    75．What is the passage mainly about？B
    A．A popular way of forecasting weather．
    B．A new research effort in predicting storms．
    C．Biologists'interest in the secrets of sharks．
    D．Lauren Smith's devotion to scientific research．
