It seems like every workplace has them the people for whom the weather is always too warm or too cold, the food is bad, the work is dull, and so on. No matter how good things get, they still only see the bad. They go to huge lengths to point it out to everyone around them. Im not saying we should forbid complaining, but workplaces need to do something about the chronic complainers because they tend to make people around them unhappy at work. Its a fact that negative people are highly contagious (传染的) and one chronic complainer can easily get an entire department down. We try many different strategies to deal with complainers. But most of the strategies we normally use on complainers dont help and often make matters worse. So what does work? Heres a simple but very effective trick. A friend of mine whos a dentist told me about an elderly complainer who was a patient of hers. Every time he came in for an appointment, hed complain. My friend is a naturally happy person and would try to cheer him up. But it didnt work and just made him complain even more. So I taught her this trick, and the next time he came in for an appointment she was ready. He sat on the chair, and immediately started complaining. After listening to his usual complaints for a while, my dentist friend said, with deep sympathy in her voice, “You know, that sounds terrible. I dont know how you deal with all of these problems.” You know what he said? “Well, well, its not THAT bad!” This approach works because it gives the complainer what hes really after: understanding of what is, for him, a difficult situation. 24. Chronic complainers are those who _. A. usually express feelings of dissatisfaction B. tend to see the good side of everything C. like to talk with anyone about weather D. often share their feelings about others 25. What is the authors attitude to chronic complainers at workplace? A. They should be put in the same department. B. Their complaints should be forbidden in the office. C. Something should be done to make them negative. D. Measures should be taken to stop their complaints. 5 / 10 26. What did the dentist use to do with the elderly complainer? A. To complain together with him. B. To try to make him happy. C. To persuade him to stop talking. D. To ask him questions about his life. 27. What does a complainer hope to get by making complaints to others? A. Advice on how to become a happy person. B. Medical help and treatment. C. Suggestions to stay away from problems. D. Others understanding and sympathy. Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage. A tree growing in a remote area of southeastern Guinea was once home to thousands of bats. A year ago, a two-year-old boy who lived within meters of the tree died in December 2013 and later was identified as the first person in West Africa to have developed Ebola. The question now troubles researchers; were the trees occupants the cause of that boys virus in the first place? Yet they will never know the answer. By March 2014, that tree was burnt down. Thousands of dead bats rained down on the village, but all researchers were left with were fragments of bat DNA. The fire spoiled the researchers plans since no Ebola genetic information could be gathered from the remains of burnt bats. And, Making matters worse, the same bat species had totally disappeared in the area. The research team also gathered other bat species from the area, but found those were all Ebola-free. The work from researchers fails to pinpoint the bat species that may be behind Ebola, but it does shed light on other facts around the disease. They have found it unlikely that primates (灵长 目动物) were behind this outbreak. In that small village there were no large animals to be hunted and any meat consumed there was packaged and sent there from elsewhere. Those observations suggest there was no outbreak among the local primates of a deadly disease like Ebola. Beyond primates and bats, however, there still could have been another creature causing the outbreak that researchers may not have even thought of. So for now, the mystery remains. 28. A two-year-old-boy died in December 2013 because _. A. he got a bats virus B. he was attacked by bats C. he was infected with Ebola D. he fell off the tree with bats 29. What happened to the bats living in the tree? A. They were killed by Ebola virus. B. They were burnt to death with the tree. C. They died out after a rain in the village. D. They were examined by the researchers. 30. What does the word pinpoint (Para. 4) probably mean? A. Reach. B. Match. C. Find out. D. Set out. 31. What species might be carrying Ebola according to the passage? A. Primates of West Africa. B. Other bats in Guinea. C. Bats in the tree. D. Still unknown. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage. 6 / 10 When you take a pill, you and your doctor hope it will workand that helps it work. Thats not a new idea. But now researchers say they know just how much of a drugs effect comes from the patients expectation: at least half. When patients in the midst of a headache attack took a dummy (假的) pill which they thought of as a widely used headache drug, it reduced their pain. It worked almost as much as when they took the real drug thinking it was a placebo (安慰剂). “There was no difference between the real drug and the placebo dressed up with a nice word in reducing pain,” researcher Ted Kaptchuk says. “Basically we show that words can actually double the effect of a drug. Thats pretty impressive.” And if it works when treating headaches, it also might work for a wide variety of other illnesses. The findings have interesting implications for doctors and patients, because what doctors say about a medicine appears to have a lot to do with its benefits. Beyond that, it raises a question of whether drug companies should take subjects expectations into account when they test a new drug. The study is the latest in a series thats helping to work out the mysteries of the placebo effect. Before the study, the group has already shown that placebos can have the effect of active medicine in patients with asthma (哮喘), and that even when patients know theyre taking a placebo, they can get relief from the pain. 32. According to the first two paragraphs, whats new of the research is that _. A. half of the drugs effect, if not more, is from the patients expectations B. dummy pills could be thought of as a widely used headache drug C. your and your doctors hope helps the drug work. D. placebos work better than real drugs 33. Placebos can have the effect of active medicine in reducing pains when doctors _. A. conduct tests on the effect of new drugs B. tell patients that placebos are mysterious C. take the patients expectations into account D. describe the placebos good effect to patients 34. According to the passage, the findings have interesting implications in that _. A. what doctors say about a medicine seems much related to its benefits B. the researchers have worked out all the mysteries of the placebo effect C. drug companies should believe the subjects in drug test. D. placebos might help in treating all illnesses 35. It has been proved that placebos have the effect of active medicine in treating asthma _. A. before Teds research B. during the process of the Teds research C. after Teds research D. upon the completion of Teds research Part III Cloze 7 / 10 Directions: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.
