wong and zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting

boss. you need to remind your boss that youre in his corner- but youre not his slave. my suggestions are as follows.start with a simple question in a calm moment: “is everything okay?”state the truth: “until recently, ive felt like a valued teammate. but our relationship has become tense. your expectations of me seem to have changed. although i used to do occasional personal businesses for you as a favor, now it seems expected.”draw your lines: “if you think my job description needs to change or my performance is not good enough, lets discuss that. otherwise, i need you to stop yelling at me and to respect my personal time.”ideally, youll get an apology and a promise to do better. after that, its a matter of reinforcement (加强) . if he starts yelling, look at him with a calm expression. after he cools down, restate his request and add, “is that correct?” for the unreasonable request, such as fetching his favorite wine after work: “im afraid i cant take care of that for you.” if he keeps

reasons like taking care of their families. but 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.for years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse(多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. they can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.the shanker institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. the problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. these teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. they are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. where theres a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. so solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.12. among teachers of color leaving their jobs, half of them quit because _.a. they had to take care of their childrenb. they had to move to other placesc. they eventually found better-paid jobsd. their employment situation was unsatisfactory13. which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?a. the solutions to increasing graduation rates among minority students.b. the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools.c. the reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools.d. the ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school.14. which of the following components is vital to equality and opportunity?a. honesty b. varietyc. ability d. safety15. how did the author feel when writing the passage?a. he felt angry about the government.b. he was satisfied with the present situation.c. he felt it urgent to solve the problem.d. he didnt care about diverse teaching workforce.【答案】12. d 13. b 14. b 15. c【解析】作者认为学校要留住有色人种教师，关键是要提高他们的工作条件。12. d 细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句some left for personal reasons like taking care of their families.可知是因为他们的环境状况不是令人满意的。故答案为d。13. b 段落大意题。根据第二段的第一句for years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students.，可知第二段的意思是：增加少数民族教师在学校中的比例。可得出答案为b。14. b 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity.可知多样性是平等和机会的关键组成部分。根据句意可知选b。15. c推理判断题。 根据第一段最后一句 “taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.”和最后一段第三句中 “at once”可知他觉得迫切需要解决这个问题。故答案为c。【名师点睛】弄清文章的大意，关键是找到主题句。各段的主题句也常在该段的首句或尾句。议论文和说明文一般有主题句，但记叙文通常没有主题句，需要归纳。找主题句的方法：用浏览法(skimming)，即快速阅读文首、文尾，或每段的首句和尾句等，搜索主题线索和主题信息。本题第2小题是段落大意题。根据第二段的第一句for years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students.，可知第二段的意思是：增加少数民族教师在学校中的比例。可得出答案为b。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。public speaking trainingget a coach_16_，so get help. since there are about a billion companies
