Like most Native Americanchildren then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He washealthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, JimThorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympicgold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. Jim had a twinbrother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his motherand father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvaniafor Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and alsobegan to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earnsome money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid himonly $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim wasa star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, andfootball.

Peoplethought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon andthe decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in bothevents.

The researchers found those who werebreast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed inschool longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）. “Breast-feedingnot only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-termbenefits, ” says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas inBrazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health. Doctorshave long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This isespecially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. Forinstance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likelyto die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., someresearch has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ（智商）by a fewpoints. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage tobreast-feeding. Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children intoadulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzeddata collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been followingsince birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave thesubjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ testscores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for lessthan one month, the team found. When Horta and his colleagues looked at howmuch education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making,they also found a clear difference:Those who were breast-fed the longest stayedin school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about athird higher. 1. From the passage, we learn that Horta . A. is from Brazil B.conducts his research in the U.S. C. has 30 researchers on his team 2. Whichof the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned? A. Theystayed longer in school B. They were happier C. They were smarter 3. Whichof the following is TRUE? A. Doctors don't understand the benefits ofbreast-feeding. B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poorcountries. C. Horta's research project lasted about 30 years 4. The wordcontaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to . A. finished B.interested C. polluted 5. Which of the following is an appropriate title forthis passage? A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages ofBreast-feeding B. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of Formula C.Breast-feeding Improves Chances of Success答案:A# B# C# C# C21. — You needn't do the work till after the New Year.—_________________.A.

Read the passage and choose the right sub-title (A-D) foreach paragraph.A. The inexactitude of languageB. Preventing misunderstandingsC.Intercultural communication D. Fostering respectE. Avoiding conflicts Para 1 Interculturalcommunication refers to messages transmitted between members of two or moredifferent societies. Effective intercultural communication helps firms avoidconflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster respect.Para 2 The workplaceis growing more diverse every day. Managers cannot assume that what they findinoffensive will also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack ofsensitivity can lead to claims of discrimination or harassment, which costsfirms big money. Intercultural communication involves exercising sensitivityand tact to avoid such conflicts.Para 3 We human beings have developedlanguage to communicate ideas to one another. Still, our language represents animperfect form of communication. Sometimes, words cannot accurately convey anidea, because the information might be highly complex. Also, a concept thatexists in one culture or language might not be part of another. Effectiveintercultural communication tries to bridge language gaps as effectively as possibleso that everyone at the workplace finds themselves on the same page.Para 4 Giventhe inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise betweenpeople from different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms oftenbecome lost in translation. For example, the English expression “to shoulderresponsibility” translates into Swedish as “be a man for your hat”.Intercultural communication does not rely on expressions native to a particularlanguage that could lead to confusion; rather, it relies on clear messages thatall parties understand.Para 5 Communication happens differently in variouscultures. What one society finds acceptable may be anathema to another. Whencoworkers from different cultures do not take these differences into account,not only does communication suffer but conflicts come to the fore. Effectiveintercultural communication does not try to ignore societal differences;rather, it respects the variations among the human race and enables people totransmit information clearly.答案:C# E# A# B# D27. — Have a nice holiday, Ted.— _________________.A.

For many studentsB. a major barrierC. equality in access toeducationD. different peopleE. non-traditional students The National Union ofStudents (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabledstudents are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work tobe done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty. Arecent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities reviewshowed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability wasto accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable. Equality anddiversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is givenwe need to hear more from , not just about their experience of accessing highereducation but also going through the system. Equality in society isabsolutely, and fundamentally, linked to . , university is the place wherethey will be first exposed to different cultures and . As well as fighting forbetter access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promotedwithin the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity,but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through theHE system? Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity atuniversity. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environmentmust be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors beforethe numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.答案:B# E# C# A# D41. - Good morning, sir.

All one has to do is walkby almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members.Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to seethe judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that? Many people areself-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classesof while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others inthe group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gymsare catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicatingareas where the “skinny” people are not allowed. There are even gyms orprograms that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight toparticipate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, ratherthan six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch withcustomers. Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweightthemselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help thosepeople with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designedfor use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes. Hopefully these types ofgyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simpleand potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercisemore and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction. 1. Theword zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. fat B. healthy C.friendly 2. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that .

Social work has its roots in charity, as it originallybegan around the time of the industrial revolution when there were many poorpeople and society was seeking a way of dealing with the poor and socialproblems. Although social work began as charity work, it has expanded a lot andneeds to be seen from a completely different perspective. Modern-day socialwork deals not only with poverty and the subsequent problems, but also with theproblems arising from various types of “social fear” (“social phobias”) anddiscrimination such as sexism, racism, and discrimination against an individualdue to his age, or mental or physical disabilities. Social workers deal withthe consequences of these discriminations as well as consequences that arisefrom sexual abuse, drug abuse, and various other problems. Social workprovides an important service to society. Individuals and families in need ofhelp are the focus of it, and are re ferred to as clients. Social workers helpclients live a productive life in their own community. In order to reach thisgoal, they often enlist the assistance of family members, relatives, localreligious leaders, and other influential members of the community. Althoughinstitutionalization may be necessary at times, it is a temporary solution.Social workers usually serve in the front line, and reach out to the clientssoon after problems occur. The goal is to help clients return to normal life ina natural setting. 1. The charity originally means to . A. help the poor thatmakes the rich feel good. B. help clients return to normal life.

Now, under hisleadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by apolicy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packedaway during class. Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says,“If we don't see it, we don't know about it.” That means teachers are OK withstudents bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and insidebags and pockets. But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban hasbeen strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out ofschools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at theseschools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them. Theban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the banwill also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schoolsthat enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks storeteens' cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day, Critics of the bansay cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. Theyalso say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where theban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay tostore their phones. Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, cityeducation officials are working on creating a new policy. It will include rulesabout not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests. 1. Which of thefollowing is the main idea of the passage? A. New York City will givefinancial aid to poor students. B. New York City plans to restrict cell phoneuse in libraries. C. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones inschools. 2. Students pay a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked neartheir school. A. a dollar B. two dollars C. five dollars 3. Metal detectorswere installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep out of schools. A. cellphones B. weapons C. drugs 4. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5probably means . A. necessary B. tough C. unfair 5. According to thepassage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. After the cell-phoneban is ended, students can use their phones during class. B. The cell-phoneban is equally enforced in all public schools. C. A phone-storage industry hasappeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.答案:C# A# B# C# C60. — How are you feeling now?— _________________.A. Much betterB. It's OKC.

About 95 percent of lawyers stillperform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better thanthe old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.Projectbilling for routine issues If your legal needs include large but repetitivetasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate,don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other lawfirms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from yourcompany.Results-oriented options “Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. Itconsiders fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of yourcounsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or sharedencouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not justrepresentation.Multi-layered tasks If you're shopping for a firm for actuallegal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blendedhourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on theanticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter. This arrangement helps theclient to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that shouldbe conducted by a junior associate. Legal “Insurance” The contract fee allowsthe client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eyethe clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companiesto contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to savemoney in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action. 1. is thebest way to be charged for legal services. A. Results-oriented billing B.Hourly billing C. Flat-fee billing 2. A flat-fee approach .

Don'tthink your fat cells won't notice. A new study published in The Annals ofInternal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has aharmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素)by about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set thestage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too muchsugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight gain. The studyadds to a growing body of evidence that there' “an intimate relationshipbetween the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthybody weight,” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center forSleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. But Americans don't seem tobe getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par night. More than 1in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average. Sohow did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of theUniversity of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded sevenvolunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young, thin andhealthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For four nightsthey were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady. Then, amonth later, they came back for four additional nights——but this time they wereallowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit, researchersgot a sample of their fat. Brady explains that the fat cells respondedsignificantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised to be honest,” hesays. Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin.“Fat cells are actually your friend,” he says. “They're there to store lipids (血脂).”When lipids stay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you'reexercising or sleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells stareto become insulin resistant, the lipids star to leach out of the fat cells andrise in the bloodstream,” Brady says. 1.

With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is nowso ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking ofcurrencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the localMcDonald's, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That's not to say that every nationcarries the same menu items:choices vary widely depending on location. SomeAsian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in Indiadoesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables,rice and beans. Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet RonaldMcDonald when he moves to town.

A Frenchfarmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and agroup of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protestglobalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in a FrenchMcDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee.
