It has been more than 50 years since Harvard Business School started admitting women, yet the institution (机构) is still trying hard to find out how to best attract and support them. Its latest effort: a program targeting women’s colleges—place that are not traditional feeding grounds for the male-majority business school.
The program is called Peek. It offers juniors, seniors and recent graduates from women’s colleges the opportunity to read and discuss four HBS case studies in class specially taught by top HBS members. About 50 to 70 promising students will pay $500 for their stay there.
Women make up 41 percent of Harvard Business School class of 2016—the most the school has had. In 1985, women made up only one-quarter of the graduating class. Harvard is not alone when it comes to struggling with a gender gap (性别差别). At Wharton, the class of 2016 is 40 percent women; at Standford Business School, it’s 42 percent. No top business school had gotten to 50 percent yet.
Despite the Peek program’s good intention, the $500 fee bothered someone, said John A. Byrne, the editor of business school new site. “The fact that HBS would charge women for the chance of coming to campus rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,” said Byrne. HBS said the $500 fee was a “fair price” for room and daily meals at the business school for a weekend, and didn’t actually cover the full costs of the program.
For years, women students at Harvard Business School failed to keep pace with men. In 2010, Harvard business School got a new manager, Nitin Nohrin, who promised a turnaround. Nohrin designed a program to encourage women students and professors. He promised to change the school’s case studies so that at least 20 percent of the people in the business texts would be women.
1.What can we learn about the program Peek?
A. It is free for new students.
B. It offers all kinds of business classes.
C. It is helped by the best teachers.
D. It is intended for high school students.
2.What is the main idea of the Paragraph 3?
A. Women are not good at business management.
B. Women are less interested in business school.
C. Women students are less talented than men students.
D. Women students are becoming fewer and fewer in college.
3.In the eyes of Byrne, Harvard’s program ________.
A. will be a total failure
B. will waste lots of money
C. doesn’t have many good intention
D. will shut some students out
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. HBS’s new plan to attract more women students.
B. HBS’s new manager Nitin Nohrin.
C. HBS’s effort to attract talented students.
D. HBS, the best business school ever world-wide.

Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the 
truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.
Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run into his house and hide under a table.
I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.
When I was about two hundred meters from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened（震聋） me. Howard stopped walking and began whining(哀鸣). Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!
1.The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that.
A. Howard had a strange behavior
B. Howard should be afraid of the metal poles
C. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightning
D. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.
B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.
C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.
D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.
3. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?
A. It was about 200 meters from the author’s home.
B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.
C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.
D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning.

We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world.
And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “Shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney (肾) that adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through.
Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the Shen system slows the aging process.
We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache,weakness in general, and wrinkles. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low-calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
1.How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?
A. By studying Western medicine.
B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
D. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
2.What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
A. Medical treatment.
B. People’s good kidney.
C. Level of people’s activity.
D. Positive life attitude.
3.The reason why people become old is that ________.
A. their bodies produce T-cells
B. their bodies are unable to fight diseases
C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair
D. they become weaker and weaker
4.We can probably learn from the passage that ________.
A. producing more low-calorie food allows people to keep young
B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health
C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
D. it remains unknown how effective Dr.Shen’s herbal medicine is
