They were a loving couple and loved the boy very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. The husband just said I am with you, Darling. The husbands totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.56The uncapped medical bottle was not put back into the cupboard because . Athe husband was carelessBthe husband was busyCthe wife wasnt informed of the matterDthe wife ignored the matter57What do we know about the bottle? .AIt contained poison only for adultsBIt appeared like a nice drinkCIt was broken by the childDIt was kept in the kitchen58The husbands attitude towards his wife can be described as .AoptimisticBconfidentCconsiderateDgenerous59What did the writer intend to tell us about life? . ALet go the negative side and we can enjoy life.BIt is always useless finding who is responsibleCThink of nothing and life will be easy DLife should give way to responsibilityB Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices going up, up, and up. “How high can they go?” is the question on everyones lips? “As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent, theres no telling,” remarked one realtor in Santa Monica, California. “Its crazy,” said Tim, who is looking for a house near the beach. “In 1993, I bought my first place, a two-bedroom condominium in Venice, for $70,000. My friends thought then that I was overpaying. Five years later, I had to move. I sold it for $230,000, which was a nice profit. Last year, while visiting friends here, I saw in the local paper that the exact same condo was for sale for $510,000!” It is a sellers market. Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price. Donna, a new owner of a one-bedroom condo in Venice Beach, said, “Thats what I did. I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you, Ill give you $20,000 more, under the table, so you dont have to pay your realtor any of it. I was tired of looking.” Tim says he hopes he doesnt get that desperate. “Whether you decide to buy or decide not to buy, you still feel like you made the wrong decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you dont buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.” Everyone says the bubble(泡沫) has to burst sometime, but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house. Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring. “All we can say is that, inevitably, these things go in cycles,” said the state director of housing. “What goes up must come down. But, as we all know, housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down. So you cant lose over the long run. Twenty years down the road, your house is always worth more than you paid for it.” 60If Tim had sold his flat last year, he could have earned .A$ 510,000B$ 440,000C$ 280,000D$ 160,00061Donna paid another $ 20,000 to the owner secretly because .Ashe felt like offering 10% moreBsecret money made low priceCthe owner asked for the moneyDshe was bored with bargaining 62We can infer from Tims words in paragraph 4 that .Ahomebuyers feel hesitate facing rising house pricesBbuying a house is always a great opportunityChomebuyers never make the right decisionDboth sellers and buyers become desperate63What is the authors opinion about the housing bubble? AIt is something everyone hates to seeBOnly experts know when it will burstCIt is unavoidable in the regular circlesDIt usually stays for about twenty yearsC A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news often entertainment-related or for online games. About half download music and movies.They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.“Many people dont trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and dont like it, they can easily bring it back.”The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States. 64. A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who _. A. likes to send e-mails B. likes to buy goods online C. likes to pay for entertainment D. likes the games sites65. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _. A. it is more difficult for sales returns B. people havent computers C. people cant have a look at the goods D. goods bought online are of low quality66. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities? A. well educated B. richer C. female D. young67. According to the text, which of the following shows the right relation between online people and their ages? A. B. C. D. D No. 1 Will the economic climate improve this year? I dont think we will see too much improvement this year, but of course I hope so. For us, evidence of a turn-around is when our customers start increasing orders from what they had previously forecast, rather than the other way round，which has been happening for the past couple of years. No. 2 Will technology replace workers in the future or create more jobs? Technology will continue to make business and industry more efficient. As we have seen since the Industrial Revolution，jobs will shift from place to place within the economy. But if we begin to consider technology as anything but a series of tools used by humanity to further the goals of humanity, then there is a chance that jobs will be lost and not replaced. No. 3 How important is an MBA compared to experience? I wont say a degree isnt important, but nothing beats experience. When I look at potential employees, I look at what they have accomplished in the past that I can use to help me tomorrow. No. 4 How can you ensure your job is safe with the economy so shaky? No job is safe. Never will be. The half-life of any particular skill set is，at most, five years. And thats on the long side. What will keep you alive? Be curious, be willing to learn, have a moral compass and know what gives your life meaning. No. 5 When the job market is this bad，how can you distinguish yourself as a candidate（候选人）？ Know the company，its competitive position, recent announcements, stock-price history. Do a Google or Yahoo search on the person youll be meeting with and you should be able to find something about him or her. Then develop an “outsiders view” of their key needs and opportunities. Do everything you can to be the solution to someone elses problem. No. 6 Im graduating from business school this spring. Any job advice? If you havent already secured an internship（职业院校证）within your chosen field, do so now. Take
