practicality and rationality (理性)，but when it comes to my college education i am an idealist and a fool. in high school i wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. but thats not what i did.i chose to study engineering in a small liberal-arts (文科）university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. obviously, this was not a practical choice; i came here for more noble reasons. i wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job. i wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who werent studying science or engineering. my parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. they told me i was wise and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and i believed them.i headed off to the college and sure i was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering factories where they didnt care if you had values or were flexible. i was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.now im not so sure. somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. after three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, i have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.the reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as i supposed in high school. individually they shape a person in very different ways. the struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.文章大意：本文作者以自身的经历说明很难做到文理兼顾，共同发展。因而自己当初想要成为通晓人文科学的杰出工程师，是不切实际的。36. at present, the writer is studying _.a.

textbook参考答案-5660 cdcdba characteristic(特色) of american culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. while the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in america as a farmer or laborer of some sort.this attitude toward manual labor(体力劳动) is now still seen in many aspects of american life. one is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward. furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. on the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. a professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. his wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. the son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.61. from paragraph 1, we can know that in america _.a. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manb. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsc. college professors win great respect from common workersd. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors62. according to the passage, the hostess cooks

food63. which of the following statements is true?a. americans respect people who have made their achievements by working hard.b. americans look down upon manual labor.c. american parents enjoy doing everything for their children.d. american families like to prepare their food quickly and easily.64. the expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_”.a. work in a furniture shop b. keep accounts for a barc. wait to lay the table d. serve customers in a restaurant65. which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?a. a respectable self-made family b. american

getting along well with colleagues gives a person a solid competitive advantage, claims a new research.dr.jon bohlmann has found that project managers can expect better performance by far from the members of their team if treating them with honesty, kindness, and respect. according to another study , the gross-functional product development teams, can achieve a great quality and better cost benefits from socializing and interacting with individuals who work for their suppliers.the first, dr. bohlmanns study analyzed cross-functional product development teams, which combine together engineers, researchers and business personnel. the point to involve people with various backgrounds was to show that there was a focus on finance, marketing, and also on a design and functionality, right from the start of the product-development process. in addition to all this, this diversity also helped to make communication more effective in order to ensure that all members of the team were socializing and cooperating, and not just working at cross-purposes.as a result, it indicated that interactional fairness awareness indeed had an effect on a cross-functional communication. in other words, all the team members who thought that they had been treated well and respected, showed a great increase in their commitment to the success of the project they had been working on in cooperation with other team members, and, in particular, when they realized their project manager or supervisor to be a kind, nice and honest guy.according to dr. bohlmann, the increase in such commitment is very essential and important because it could improve performance that would result in the achievement of team goals. and if bohlmanns study comes to the conclusion that nice and honest guys are the first to finish, the second research by dr. rob handfleld shows us that cooperating and socializing well with others can give a team, and even a company an edge, when it comes to product development.41.according to the passage, being a successful project manager, you should havethe following qualities except _.a. honesty b. kindness c. desire f
