4.One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel". Usually the question is asked of a man in action--a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right." But "you've put a bug in his ear" — maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to sec if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel?"Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel?" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him "How do you feel", Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age", he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."1).According to the writer, greetings, such as "How do you feel?" _________ .A. show one's consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy2).The question "How do you feel?" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ________ .A. a man working at his deskB. a person having lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD. a friend who is ill3).The writer seems to feel that a busy man should _________ .A. be praised for his effortsB. never be asked any questionC. not be botheredD. be discouraged from working so hard4).George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ________ .A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. abilityD. politeness5)."You've put a bug in his ear "means that you've _________ .A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warning

  • 第3题:

    C

    Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).

    Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

    Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.

    If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.

    l Accept it

    Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

    l Stop making excuses for it

    You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

    l Forgive and forget it

    You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

    66. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.

    A. holds us back B. forgets us C. doesn’t like us D. does hurt us

  • 第4题:

    B

    When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,”Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault;the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault,but once you form. the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

    Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

    This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.

    46. According to the passage, winners __________ .

    A. deal with problems rather than blame others

    B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

    C. have responsible and able colleagues

    D. blame themselves rather that others

    Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

    Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

    Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.

    sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.

    Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ,and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.

    Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this

    , you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.

    Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.

    If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong

    , specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"

    Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,

    and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.

    Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up

    to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.

    31. The passage is to show the applicant how to ( )

    A. prepare for a job interview

    C. impress the interviewers at a job interview

    A. the interviewer and the applicant' s previous boss may be birds of a feather

    B. a man who speaks ill of somebody else in the back is not reliable and trustworthy

    C. the interviewer may think that, if one attacks his previous employer now , he might attack his new one later

    33. Why is it good for the applicant to ask the interviewer a few questions? ( )

    A. He can have more chance of demonstrating his ability.

    B. He can learn more about the interviewer' s likes and dislikes.

    C. He can make the interview run in the way in his favor.

    Five ways to make conversation with anyone Conversations are links,which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.You meet new people every day:the grocery worker,the cab driver,new people at work or the security guard at the door.Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link.Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.41.____________Suppose you are in a room with someone you don’t know and something within you says“I want to talk with this person”—this is something the mostly happens with all of us.You wanted to say something—the first word—but it just won’t come out.It feels like it is stuck somewhere,I know the feeling and here is my advice just get it out.Just think:that is the worst that could happen?They won’t talk with you?Well,they are not talking with you now!I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow.So keep it simple:“Hi”,“Hey”or“Hello”—do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can,put on a big smile and say“Hi”。42.____________It’s a problem all of us face:you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk memorable.Honestly,if we got stuck in the rut of“hi”,“hello”,“how are you?”and“what’s going on?”you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that’s can make it so memorable.So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions.Trust me,you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.43.____________When you meet a person for the first time,make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point.When you start conversation from there and then move outwards,you’ll find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.44.____________Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone,and if you ask for their attention you get the response“I can multitask”.So when someone tries to communicate with you,just be in that communication wholeheartedly.Make eye contact,you can feel the conversation.45.____________You all came into a conversation where you first met the person,but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name.Isn’t that awkward!So remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with;perhaps the places they have been to the place they want to go,the things they like,the thing the hate—whatever you talk about.When you remember such thing you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing.So the feel a responsibility to you to keep that relationship going.That’s it.Five amazing ways that you can make conversation with almost anyone.Every person is a really good book to read,or to have a conversation with!45选?

    A.Just say it
    B.Be present
    C.Pay a unique compliment
    D.Name,places,things
    E.Find the“me too”s
    F.Skip the small talk
    G.Ask for an opinion

    答案:E
    解析:
    第一句话就提到了忘记只见过一面的人的名字“name”。“So”后面又提到回忆地点“places”和好恶的事情“things”等细节,所以选E:Name,places,things

    How to Get Along Well With Your Boss
    1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there are keys to timing:don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
    2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first,and don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
    3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
    4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
    5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.

    If you want to ask the boss for anything,it is important to find out first______.
    A:to give the boss your advice
    B:how he is feeling
    C:the boss may have
    D:what you really want to talk to him about
    E:without suggesting a way to solve it
    F:how unhappy you are

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章第二段第一句话“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句,是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板,这样会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
    由文章第三段第一句和第二句话“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”可知,当老板或员工不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时,就会引发激烈的争吵,而当双方都清楚了之后就可能不会争吵。故选E0
    由文章第四段第二句和第三句话“If you can ' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can ' t get past the secretary.”可知,如果你不能提出解决问题的即时方案,至少也要给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就会发现他们在老板秘书那都过不了关,更别提会被老板接见了。因此,在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
    文章第五段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段的主题句,是说应该设身处地地从老板的角度看问题,这样老板才会愿意帮助你解决你所提出的问题。故选B。
    由文章第一段第一句话“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss ' s secretary to determine his mood.”可知,如果想要向老板询问什么,应该首先向老板的秘书确认老板此刻的心情。故选B。
    由文章第三段可知,让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的。故选D。
    由文章第四段可知,只向老板提出问题,而不提供解决办法是不明智的。故选E。
    由文章最后一段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”可知,应该设身处地地从老板的角度考虑老板所面临的问题和麻烦,才会取得有效的解决问题的办法。故选C。

  • 第20题:

    Part B

    [A] You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well.

    HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions,

    like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past.

    They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people who

    interviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so,

    chances are good that they are willing to compete for you.

    But if you say that you have other offers,

    be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when,

    because they might challenge you.

    The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks.

    They might have the final say.

    [B] Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers.

    Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’

    ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less,

    and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering,

    be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load,

    but not so eager as to appear to be a back- stabbing ladder climber!

    [C] Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire,

    body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes.

    You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens!

    [D] Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web.

    But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview.

    Interviews are just too upclose and personal for that.

    About the best that career advisors can do,

    is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect,

    so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But,

    while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers.

    The rest is up to you.

    [E] Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company,

    and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews,

    it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo- in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!

    [F] To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively.

    Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisors

    who have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques.

    They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance.

    This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview,

    if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate.

    Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.

    [G] After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers.

    It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.

    [H] Remember, it’s a two- way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you,

    but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact,

    if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions,

    you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you.

    Three Ways to Become More Creative

    Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
    most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works
    of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
    you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
    techniques to help you.
    This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about
    the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
    pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
    etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine
    you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
    night.
    Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
    Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
    tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
    be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
    Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者)use this technique in business;
    and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions:
    what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?
    What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher-
    men think like fish!

    The phrase"put yourself in their shoes"in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_______________.
    A:dress yourself like them
    B:do as they ask you to
    C:put on their shoes
    D:think as they would

    答案:D
    解析:
    由第一段第二句“They are wrong”可知,成年人也有想象力,且由该段最后一句中的“.help you”可知,成年人可以学习发挥想象力。
    由第二段第四句“Write down all the ideas/words associated with...”可知选C。
    由第三段第三句“Think about your goal and the new possibilities”可知选C。
    put yourself in sb's shoes是固定搭配,意为“设身处地”,故选D。
    第三个技巧是:设身处地地站在别人的角度上看问题。故销售员应考虑顾客所需的。

    How to Get Along Well With Your Boss

    1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate
    nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss's secretary,there
    are keys to timing don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he
    is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
    2 Ifyou're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first.And don't let a particular
    concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively
    about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
    3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem
    the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee
    has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
    4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate
    solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solu-
    tions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
    5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put
    yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with
    you to achieve your goals.

    If you want to ask the boss for anything,it is important to find out first_________.
    A:to give the boss your advice
    B:how he is feeling
    C:the boss may have
    D:what you really want to talk to him about
    E:without suggesting a way to solve it
    F: how. unhappy you are

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章第二段的第一句“If you are mad, that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题 句,是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
    从文章第三段的第一句和第二句“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”可知,当老板或员工都不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么 时,就会引发激烈的争吵。而当双方都清楚了之后就不会有争吵。因此,双方都应清楚对方 要说什么。故选E。
    文章第四段的第二句话和第三句“If you can' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can' t get past the secretary.”可知,如果你不能提出立刻就能解 决问题的办法,也要至少给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提供问题 而不提供解决办法的人很快就发现他们在老板秘书那就过不了关,更另!J提会被老板接见。 因此,在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
    文章第五段的第一句“To deal effectively with a boss, it' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段主题句,是说应该从老板的位置看问题,设身处地,老板才会愿意帮助 你。故选B。
    从语法上看,这里需要的是一个宾语,现在填人的是一个宾语从句。再看本句的意义 和文章第一句“Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss' s secretary to determine hismood.”的意思相同。故选B。
    这句话需要填入的是动词make的宾语,根据文章第三段的内容可知“让老板明白你 想要探讨的问题是很必要的”,D选项的内容与之相同。
    由文章第四段可知只提出问题,不提供解决办法是不聪明的。故选E。
    从本句子的结构来看,the trouble需要有限定或修饰的成分,故填人一个定语从句。根 据句意,从文章最后一段的第一句“To deal effectively with a boss, it' s important to consider hisgoals and pressures.”可以找到答案,C为最佳答案。第4部分:阅读理解第一篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是Poseidon,一种人工智能系统,是如何在游泳池中救人的。
