Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but childrens books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world. Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children. Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. Its mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book. “Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you cant really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.” Yohannes first worked in the childrens section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative childrens literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring childrens books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?” He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time. “What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him. “The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly. 56. How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library? A. Curious. B. Surprised. C. Interested. D. Excited.57. We can conclude from the passage that .A. Ethiopian children have no idea about their futureB. Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences C. donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and toolsD. most books in the Donkey Mobile Library were bought in America58. According to the passage, the Donkey Mobile Library . A. visits the countryside every day B. benefits Ethiopian children a lot C. was created by Yohannes himself D. was the first of its kind in the world59. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A historical story. D. An advertisement.BDear Mr. Watson,CLAIM AL54323432-STORM DAMAGE TO ROOF I received a cheque for $623 dated 26 January in payment of my recent claim. However, I wish to tell you how upset I have been by the way your Claims Assessor, Mr. Michael Tan, handled this claim. When Mr. Tan first called me, he specifically told me that he believed I had been overcharged, and he would expect to pay that price for work on a double garage, rather than a single garage like mine. Mr. Tan suggested that I neither use nor recommend this contractor again. He continued to tell me it was unlikely for me to receive full payment. Never during this conversation did he mention that the reason for not receiving full payment was because of the nature of my insurance policy. Consequently, I wrote to Mr. Lance Ashe to complain about his pricing, stating that I was very upset thinking that he could have taken advantage by overcharging a 73-year-old woman. Mr. Ashe telephoned me immediately and explained his charges in detail. He later reported back to me that Mr. Tan explained that I would not receive full payment because of the type of policy I hold, which does not cover wear and tear. This was the first time this issue had been brought to my attention, so you can imagine my surprise. When I received Mr. Tans letter of 2 February, this situation was explained. If this had been explained in the first place I would have accepted it and would not have questioned Mr. Ashes charges. Instead, by telling me initially that I had been overcharged for this work, he caused a great deal of upset, not only for me but also for Mr. Ashe. I believed this claim was handled badly by Mr. Tan from the beginning. Therefore, a great deal of embarrassment has been caused over this issue. I felt you should know how disappointed and upset I am. I trust you will look into this and ensure that such claims are handled more appropriately in the future. Yours sincerely, Mrs. Richard60. The author writes this letter to _. A. complain about a mishandled case B. inform the manager of a payment C. demand an apology from Mr. Watson D. require the manager to fire Mr. Tan 61. The underlined words “the contractor” in Para.2 refer to _. A. Mr. Tan B. Mrs. Richard C. Mr. Watson D. Mr. Ashe 62. The author could not receive full payment because _. A. her policy doesnt cover some of the items B. the contractor overcharged her for the work C. Mr. Watson doesnt take the matter seriously D. she spent too much money fixing her garage 63. We can learn from the passage that Mr. Tan works in a/an _. A. welfare organization B. nursing house C. insurance company D. local affairs office CMany people think that communication is the source of most of their work-related conflicts, but theyd be wrong. In a work context, more conflicts come from structural relationships and personal differences than communication itself.Organizations create job descriptions, specialized work groups, and authority relationships, all with the intent to improve coordination(协调). But in doing so, they separate people and create the potential for conflicts. For instance, departments within organizations have diverse goals. Purchasing is concerned with the timely acquisition of materials and supplies at low prices; quality controls attention is focused on improving quality and ensuring that the organizations products meet standardWhen groups within an organization seek diverse ends, there is increased potential for conflicts.Have you ever met people to whom you took an immediate disliking? Most of the opinions they expressed, you disagreed with. Even insignificant characteristics-the way they cocked their head when they talked or smirked when they smiled-annoyed you. Weve all met people like that, and many of us have to work with people like this.Todays organizations are increasingly diverse in terms of age, gender and race. So, not surprisingly, employees differ on the importance they place on general values such as responsibility, equality and ambition. They also differ on job-related values such as the importance of family over work or freedom against authority. These differences often surface in work-related interactions and create significant interpersonal conflicts.The above doesnt mean that communication cant be a source of conflicts. It can. Differing word connotations, insufficient exchange of information, poor listening skills, and the like, create conflicts. But the belief that “we can deal with our differences if we just communicate more” is not necessarily true. The evidence actually shows that the potential for conflicts increases when there is too much communication as well as when theres too little. So when youre trying to manage conflicts, take a thoughtful look at their source. Its more likely that the conflict is coming from work-related requirements, personality differences, or dissimilar values, it is from poor communication. And that might influence the actions you take to resolve the conflict. 64. From Para.2, we know that in an organization, .A. job descriptions can effectively improve cooperation B. different goals of branches may cause disagreementsC. division of labor usually results in harmonious relationshipD. the setting of different departments is to encourage competition65. The writer holds that .A. fewer conflicts will appear if we communicate more B. most people share similar values in the same organizationC. communication is just one of the reasons for most conflictsD. wed better calm down before taking
