of big apple at between 50 and 100 each. buyers from 19 countries have paid for the souvenirs（纪念品）. the idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.it all began when mr gignac was at a summer workshop, “we had a discussion about the importance of 42 ,”he recalls.” someone said packaging was unimportant. i disagreed. the only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.”he searches the streets of manhattan and typical 43 include broken glass, subway tickets, starbucks cups and used 44 forks. “special editions” are offered at a high price. he charged 100 for rubbish from the opening day of the new york yankees stadium.mr gignac denies 45 his customers for fools: “they know what theyre getting. they appreciate the fact that theyre taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.”some 46 customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir. he claims he has even sold to art collectors.realizing that the concept appears to be a real money-maker, mr gignac has 47 a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. he 48 to discuss his profit margins: “its actually quite a lot of effort putting them together-but yes, garbage is free.”mr gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. he maintains that he has signed 49 with people interested in similar

arriving in japan, i _51_ that japanese schools, unlike schools in brazil, had _52_ clubs we could enjoy after school, such as volleyball, basketball, football and handball clubs. i found my school had a horseback riding _53_ which was nearly close.i couldnt _54_ it. in my hometown, we also had horseback riding clubs, but not at school, and you _55_ to pay a lot of money to enjoy it. riding horses had always been an expensive sport for people in high society. in japan, _56_, i found this was not true. for lessons, insurance and horses, we paid only a small insurance fee, and that was all. _57_ thing that surprised me was that it was our duty to take care of the horses. in contrast, in brazil, we always had_58_ to clean and feed the horses, clean the stalls (畜栏), and do all the work. we only had to _59_ about riding. taking care of the horses, ive found that the _60_ you are together with the animal, the more it _61_ you, and the more you understand it. an animal treats you as well as you treats it. _62_ you dont understand your horse, and it doesnt know you, you lose the wonderful _63_ to be with a very kind and intelligent animal.a teacher said, “the horse is a(n) _64_

b, c and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(a)what do you want to be when you grow up? a teacher? a doctor? how about an ice-cream taster?yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. just ask john harrison, an “official taste tester” for the past 21 years. testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. during his career harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? no theres more to the job than that, says harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. he points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.in a typical morning on the job, harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. he lets the ice cream warm up to about 12. harrison explains, “you get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”while the ice cream warms up, harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. he checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” next its time to taste!continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps harrison busy but happy working at one cool job.65. what is john harrisons job? a. an official.b. an ice-cream taster. c. a chemist.d. an ice-cream manufacturer.66. according to john harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to _. a. keep a diary of workb. have a degree in related subjects c. have new ideas every dayd. find out new flavors each day67. what does harrison do first when testing ice cream? a. he stirs the ice cream.b. he examines the color of the ice cream. c. he tastes the flavor of the ice cream.d. he lets the ice cream warm up.68. which of the following is probably the best title of the passage? a. tasting with eyesb. flavors of ice cream c. john harrisons lifed. one cool job(b) nervous suspects (嫌疑犯) locked up in britains newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. if they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance. gwent police have abandoned colours such as grays and browns of the 20th-century police cell (牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate them. ystrad mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of 5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽闭恐怖症). designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness. the station has 31 cells, including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. an alarm alerts officers if a prisoners breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened. designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. it also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. it is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration. yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect. ingrid collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an “energy force”. she said: “blue does enhance communication but i am not sure it would enhance truthful communication.” yellow, she said, affected the mind. red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. mrs collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. gwent is not the first british force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to co-operate. in the 1990s strathclyde police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the us navy. 69. the expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might _.a. let suspects keep their balanceb. help suspects to confess their crimesc. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law courtd. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours70. which of the following colours should not be used in cells according to me passage?a. pink. b. yellow c. blue. d. red. 71. which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?a. scanning equipment.b. royal blue lines. c. glass doors. d. yellow frames. 72. the passage is mainly concerned with _.a. the relationship between colours and psychologyb. a comparison of different functions of coloursc. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals psychologyd. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison(c)trevor, c. o., lansford, b. and black, j. w., 2004, employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion, journal of armchair psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64. in this article trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees job attitude. the authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in vancouver, canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. the article is useful as trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees job attitude and performance. the main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. as this
