分析 本文是一篇记叙文,文中记叙我大学毕业以后想要成为体育广播员;我首先在芝加哥的大公司寻找工作,但被一次次地拒绝,因为没有哪家公司会冒险雇佣一个没有经验的人;所以我回到家乡寻找机会.在家乡的镇上一商店,想要一个人来管理其体育部门.看来这份工作正好适合我,但结果我没有被雇用.作者的失望被妈妈看到,正如妈妈经常鼓励我的,"任何事情的发生都是最好的."母亲提醒我说.我试着到爱荷华州达文波特的woc电台去求职,但是节目导演告诉我他们已经雇到播音员了.在我离开他的办公室时,我大声地说:"一个人如果不能得到一份在一个电台的工作又怎么能成为一名体育播音员?"突然,我听到了导演大声问"你懂足球吗?"然后,他让我解说一场想象中的比赛.导演很满意,让我广播游星期六的比赛.这件告诉我们不要畏惧困难和挫折!要坚持下去!总有一天会有好事发生.

19.Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver.The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed,but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind,nor the woman's kind reaction.She was shocked,regained calmness and,in a kind voice,told the young Odland."It's OK.It wasn't your fault."When she left the restaurant,she also left the future Fortune 500CEO with a life lesson:You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery.Rather,it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up.It's hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything,but most agree with the Waiter Rule.They say how others treat the CEO says nothing.But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like,"I could buy this place and fire you,"or"I know the owner and I could have you fired."Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it,or at least first wrote it down,is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson.He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management.
"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter,or to others,is not a nice person,"Swanson says."I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables."

32.What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman's dress?D
A.He was fired.
B.He was blamed.
C.The woman left the restaurant at once.
D.The woman comforted him.
33.Odland learned one of his life lessons fromD.
A.an interesting best-selling book
B.the advice given by the CEOs
C.an article in Fortune
D.his experience as a waiter
34.According to the text,most CEOs have the same opinion aboutB.
A.Fortune 500companies
B.the Waiter Rule
C.Swanson's book
D.the Management Rules
35.From the text we can learn thatA.
A.one should respect others no matter who they are
B.CEOs often show their power before others
C.one should be nicer to important people
D.CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants.

6.Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no",and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years.But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect,and my parents often turned to physical punishment.And,no,I don't feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.
Two years ago,Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus,professor at the University of New Hampshire in America,has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers.It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked,but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用的) to their mental development,as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year,Marjorie Gunnoe,a psychologist at Calvin College,studied teens who have never spanked.There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished.Gunnoe) s research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers (脾气).But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.
45.According to the first three paragraphs,the author was probably hit by her parents whenB.
A.they were dissatisfied with her grade
B.she showed no respect for the elder
C.they cannot control their temper
D.their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
46.According to Murray Straus,children who are physically punishedD.
A.are less aggressive toward others when they get older
B.have slower physical development
C.benefit from occasional spanking
D.may develop lower IQs than their peer
47.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?D
A.40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B.Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students
C.Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful
D.Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to children
48.The author seems to agree thatC.
A.parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not
B.children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
C.good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
D.physical punishment should be the last resort of any parent.
