    A wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.
    In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm found that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation,  had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity（长寿）than her own class.
    “Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a consequence, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm.
    The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women hodling university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 per cent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.
    According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drivers carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated woman may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.
    The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.
    68. In this passage the author intends to_______.
    A. encourage women to get higher education
    B. present the results of a study.
    C. analyze the relationship between education and life
    D. discuss why women usually live longer than men
    69. A wife’s education has more effect on a family than a husband’s because______.
    A. women make more sacrifices to their families than men do
    B. most women have higher degrees than their husbands
    C. most men marry women with higher degrees
    D. women have a leading role in the home life of most families
    70. A woman with higher education is likely to_____.
    A. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers.
    B. marry a man without many bad habits
    C. earn more money than her husband
    D. teach her children well
    71. We learn from the passage that_______.
    A. a man with a lot of education live longer than one with little.
    B. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his own.
    C. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their families.
    D. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated men.

    In William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is major difference between two of the characters, Brutus and Mark Antony, Brutus was very honorable and Antony was very persuasive. When Brutus spoke at Caesar’s funeral, he appealed to the people’s logic and Antony spoke to the emotions of the people. Antony was very smart and used his brain frequently during the play and Brutus was very naive(天真的，率直的) about many of things.
    Brutus was very honorable in the way that he always told people the truth. Antony was persuasive in the way that he used people to get whatever he wanted. For example, Antony used Lepidus to seek revenge on all of the conspirators (同谋者，阴谋者) to take the blame for their deaths. Brutus’ speech at Caesar’s funeral was very short and to the point and spoke to the logic of the people in the crowd. For example, Brutus spoke in a detached way about Caesar’s death while Antony spoke to the emotions of the crowd by crying and talking about all the good things that Caesar did for Rome. Antony’s intelligence was very apparent throughout the play and Brutus appeared to be naive about many things. Antony as smart in the way that he controlled people to his own advantage. Brutus appeared to be naive throughout the whole play because he believed everyone was as honorable as he. Brutus did not question what he was told, assuming it was always true.
    In conclusion, in William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is a major difference between the two characters, Brutus and Mark Antony. The strongest contrast between the two characters appears to be their ability and inability to be both honorable and persuasive.

    The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others. This is a process that involves both the sender of the message and the receiver. This process leaves room for error, with messages often being misunderstood by one or more of the parties involved. This causes unnecessary confusion.
    In fact, a message is successful only when both the sender and the receiver perceive (感知) it in the same way. By successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you convey do not necessarily reflect your own, causing a communication breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goals — both personally and professionally.
    In a recent survey of recruiters (招募者) in companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factors leading to job success.
    In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively — whether in oral or written form. This inability（无能） makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. Getting your message across is essential to progressing. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be perceived. You must also weigh-in the circumstances surrounding your communication, such as situational and cultural context.
    47. The underlined word “This” in the first paragraph refers to ______.
    A. the purpose of communication
    B. the process of getting your message across to others
    C. the process of letting others know your purpose 
    D. the cause of unnecessary confusion
    48. A communication failure occurs when ______.
    A. the sender and the receiver understand the message in the same way
    B. the receiver purposely understands the message wrong
    C. the way you send the message creates problems with the receiver
    D. the sender creates problems in a professional way
    49. _______ make for job success.
    A. Communication skills and ability to cooperate
    B. Communication skills along with written presentations
    C. Written presentations together with ability to work with others
    D. The abilities to cooperate with others
    50. What is the attitude of the writer towards the communication skills?
    A. Neutral.      B. Opponent.     C. Supportive.       D. Indifferent.

    A couple of years ago I took the family on a winter vacation to New York City to experience the holiday atmospheres. The longest lines that week weren’t in the Empire State Building, at the Statue of Liberty Ferry or any of the Big Apple’s other landmarks (地标) , but at Fifth Avenue and 58th Street, where people crowded into FAO Schwarz.
    It was not until I got inside that it became clear how only one toy store could provide everything else that Manhattan offers between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Far more than a shopping experience, the hour we spent wandering along the aisles(通道) at FAO Schwarz was more like visiting a museum of everything that children care for very much. And for me — and all of the other bright-eyed grownups — it was a trip down my memory lane to the toys we knew as kinds.
    America’s most unique toy stores are found from coast to coast, in big cities and also in small towns. Let’s have a look at some others.
    The Dinosaur Farm in South Pasadena, Calif.: Former rock musician Dave Plenn opened the shop in 1994, a year after “Jurassic Park” brought the creatures back into the spotlight again. But he says his wife ---who was then working for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles— rather than the big movie proved the inspiration for the dinosaur store.
    Mild Zone: A more traditional specialty store, which sells model cars like Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Johnny Lightning. “It’s such an addicting (上瘾的) hobby,” says Burke, who admits that he originally created the store as a means to feed his own toy car collection. “Once you buy your first, you can never stop.” The store has around 30,000 cars. Mile Zone’s customers are from kinds with a wish for speedy toys to grown-ups who view the model cars as time travel back to their youth.
    59. The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to show _________.
    A. the poor traffic condition in New York      B. the nice holiday atmosphere in New York
    C. the popularity of toy stores in New York   D. the charming landmarks in New York
    60. Walking into FAO Schwarz gave the author a chance to ___________.
    A. recall his life of childhood  B. visit a most special museum
    C. study the history of Manhattan   D. learn the way of producing toys
    61. Dave Plenn was inspired to open the Dinosaur Farm by ________.
    A. his wife       B. “Jurassic Park”  C. his research on nature       D .rock music
    62. We can infer from the passage that ______.
    A. dinosaur toy stores are more popular than traditional ones
    B. some unique toys have been displayed in local museums
    C. some popular toy stores have become new landmarks
    D. customers of toy stores are more than children
