Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The buildingthe countrys largest commercial and shopping complexuses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didnt have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents. This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swingsdays as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said. The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. 56. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent. 57. Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.58. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system_.A. allows a wide range of temperatures B. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of the airD. works better in hot seasonsBThroughout my 41 years at General Electric, Ive experienced a lotIn the media, Ive gone from prince to pig and back againAnd Ive been called many thingsIn the early days, some called me a crazy, wild manWhen I became CEO two decades ago, Wall Street asked, Jack who?When I tried to make GE more competitive by cutting back our workforce in the early 1980s, the media called me Neutron Jack When they learned we were focused on values and culture at GE, people asked if Jack has gone soft Ive been No1 or No2 Jack, Services Jack, Global Jack, and, in more recent yearsSix Sigma Jack and e-Business JackWhen we made an effort to acquire Honeywell in October 2000, and I agreed to stay on through the transition （ 过渡期 ） , some thought of me as the Long-in-the-Tooth Jack hanging on by his fingertips to his CEO jobThose characterizations said less about me and a lot more about the stage our company went throughTruth is, down deep, Ive never really changed much from the boy my mother raised in Salem, MassachusettsWhen I started on this journey in 1981 , standing before Wall Street analysts for the first time at New Yorks Pierre Hotel, I said I wanted GE to become the most competitive enterprise on earth My objective was to put a small-company spirit in a big-company body, to build an organization out of an old-line industrial company that would be more high-spirited, more adaptable, and more flexible than companies that are one-fiftieth our sizeI said then that I wanted to create a company where people dare to try new things ?where people know that only the limits of their creativity and drive, their own standards of personal excellence, will be the ceiling on how far and how fast they moveIve put my mind, my heart, and my courage into that journey every day of the 40-plus years Ive been lucky enough to be a part of GE59According to the first two paragraphs, the author _Ahad many ups and downsBhad a poor image in publicCbecame CEO of GE 41 years agoDsuffered from some mental illnesses60As the author sees it, the many nicknames of him indicate _Athe change of his character with the timeBthe various opinions of different journalistsChis companys different stages of developmentDhis popularity among his friends and relatives61According to the author, GE in 1981 _Ashould seek broader space for developmentBwas the most competitive company in the worldCdiffered from many old-line industrial companiesDwas a big company with a small-companys spirit62What does the underlined word journey in the last paragraph probably mean?ATaking GE to a new heightBTravelling from home to officeCSeeking a higher position in GEDGrowing from a baby into an adultCCollege students constantly hear the praises of educationWe have all become used to believing that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier lifeI was nine years old when my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted in my lifeI filled my paper with things like: own a big house and have servants; be rich and have a good jobThe next day my teacher handed back my paper and in red ink she wrote: GO TO COLLEGE For a long time, I was convinced that once I obtained an education, BAM! Life would be easierHowever, education cannot promise all wishes, dreams, and desiresSociety must reject the foolish idea that a college educations main purpose is to satisfy our desires and secure successLike most challenging things, education is a gamble （赌博） in which results depend entirely on peoples ability to look past their wants to see the realism and reason behind their wantsFor instance, my first year of college, I took a sociology classIn class, we were taught that Third World countries were poorWe learned that our quality of life would be almost impossible for an average person in those countriesI began to examine my own desire to be richTo always go after money felt selfish when knowing others had none at allLearning about other societys financial situations forced me to look beyond what I wantedThrough the process of education, everything once desired is testedWanting something no longer is enough; its more important to examine why we want it and whether we really want itWhen my desire for money changed, everything changedI stopped longing for money-driven careers and stopped valuing the people who had themI began to examine the things I purchased and my reason for wanting themEducation is a tool to be used to develop and advance our desires, so we can discover the things that are truly significant in lifeEducation is a source to expand our society to see beyond the superficial （表面的） appeals and the quick fixes , leaving the belief of an effortless life behind in order to desire a meaningful one63The authors fourth-grade teacher probably agreed that _Athe author was an ambitious studentBthe author should set more realistic goalsCa college student would lead an easier lifeDa college degree was the key to the authors dreams64Why does the author mention her sociology class?ATo share her learning experiences with readersBTo support her new understanding about educationCTo express her sympathy for people in Third WorldDTo stress the importance of taking a sociology course65With a college education, the author _Aenvied rich peopleBlost interest in careerCdesired more material thingsDstopped always seeking more wealth66Whats the main idea of the passage?ACollege education promises an effortless lifeBCollege education tests and guides our life desiresCCollege education offers solutions to social problemsDCollege education turns young people into gamblersDThe word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you wont find it in the dictionaryIt means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own lifeLook at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-abilityEffective people are proactive because they take responsibilityTheir behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelingsFor instance, you are planning a picnic with your familyYoure excitedYou have all the preparationsYouve decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your planProactive people carry wea
