enterprises, that have absolute advantage（绝对优势）in a field; the majority apply their comparative advantage（相对优势） to professions where they do their best to be effective players . based on comparative advantage, different divisions are formed as international trade and the globalized economy develop. oranges are flourishing in florida in the united states, for example, shoes are made perfectly in wenzhou of china, and people in both areas need oranges and shoes. in wenzhou, one could try to create an artificial environment for orange trees of an international standard, and in florida workers could be trained to make shoes as effectively as workers in wenzhou using the same resources. however, the costs would be too high. the best solution, therefore, is to allow each location to specialize in its own product, producing enough to meet local needs and exporting the rest. as a result, people in both areas end up with lower cost and higher quality goods than if each tried to produce both. it is obvious that absolute advantage occurs in this process. however, absolute advantage may not necessarily apply everywhere. for instance, i know a capable company boss, who is also an expert in private cars and very skillful at changing car oil, even more efficiently than a mechanic, but, almost every time he drives his car to a garage to have the oil changed by a mechanic since he believes he can use the time to do something more valuable. what he uses here is his comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage. the same theory may also apply to individual careers. you may not be the best in a certain area, but still have a comparative advantage, which will not be reduced in relation to others absolute advantage, and you can still find an advantaged position in which your disadvantage is smaller relative to others. an ordinary talent can, therefore, achieve outstanding results by rightfully exploring his or her comparative advantage. in this sense, we may say that comparative advantage really works.72.from the example about orange in florida and shoes in wenzhou ,we can draw the conclusion that _.a. the field in wenzhou can be improved to grow oranges .b. florida workers could be trained to make shoes .c. we should fully use our absolute advantage in our advantaged field.d. our comparative advantage is equal to our absolute one as to making fortunes .73.why doesnt the capable company boss change his car oil himself ? _a. the mechanic is more efficient than him .b. he neednt do it by himself for his riches.c. he would rather do something more valuable .d. changing oil is beyond his ability.74.which of the following is right according to paragraph 4. ? _a. you should use your absolute advantage in your work definitely .b. you must work hard to improve your absolute advantage to be the best worker .c. if others absolute advantage is larger , your comparative advantage is smaller .d. sometimes you may still use your comparative advantage to find your advantaged position .75.this article can be entitled “_”.a. the advantage of comparative advantage.b. the advantage of absolute advantagec. absolute advantagethe secret to make different talents d. comparative advantagethe way to achieve outstanding results【参考答案】e篇 ccda【2014高考英语安徽省联考模拟试题】a阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics. but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. this image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.the best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your success. that is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. dont allow doubts to occur in it. it very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. if you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. if you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. if you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. but remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true. the best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. when you can pat yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. good luck!56. you need to build a positive self-image when you _.a. dare to challenge yourselfb. feel it hard to change yourselfc. are unconfident of yourself d. have a high opinion of yourself57. according to the passage, our self-images _.a. have positive effects b.

house, in 1982, they were only two years older than i am now. i tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house id still be living in almost 30 years later. it seemed ridiculous. on a practical level, theres no way i could afford to buy a house anytime soon. more importantly, i wouldnt want to. im not sure where ill be living in two years, or what kind of job ill have. and i dont think ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place. so this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. when our parents were our age, theyd gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives. my friends and i “generation y” still arent sure what we want to do with our lives. whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure were happy doing it. wed rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. wed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account. this casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. some of these complaints have a point. as children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. we grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones, the internet, instant messaging, and video games. our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)-starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. that doesnt apply to my generation. because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. but thats not necessarily a bad thing. in our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents generation did. by ariel lewiton31. when the author walked through her parents house, she _. a. was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from life b. realized she should buy a house. c. started to think about her own life d. wondered why her parents had settled down early【答案】c【解析】推理题。根据第一段2,3,4行when my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than i am now. i tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house id still be living in almost 30 years later说明我在思考自己的人生之路，故c正确。32. what is the main “generation gap” between the author and her friends and their parents according to the article? a. their attitude toward high technology. b. their attitude towards responsibility. c. their ways of making their way to the top. d. their ways of gaining experience.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段第一行this casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation
