Or is it unhealthy to have strong love for the past?For years, medical experts have studied nostalgia and the reasons for it. Many experts warn that too much nostalgia is harmful. They say lingering (徘徊) in the past shows that a person is unhappy with his present life. These feeling keep the person from living his life to its fullest.Dr. Louise Kaplan has written several books about nostalgia. She says feelings often begin when a young person is between 13 and 19 years old.“This is the time when you must face the loss of your childhood,” Kaplan says. “You see your new life is easily destroyed. But you think romantically about a golden past. You remember your childhood as a time when life was perfect.”These feelings continue as a person gets older, Kaplan adds. She says many grown people have a hard time keeping up with changes in the modern world, so they think back to their younger years. At that time the word seemed simple and more harmless.Kaplan says these feelings are not always actually existing. The good old days werent always good. However, she says nostalgia can be helpful, if used properly.“Feelings of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams.” Kaplan says. It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today, in your present life. She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from “cutting yourself off from your aim.” “At its best,” Kaplan says, “nostalgia has the ideas for the future.”41. The underlined word “nostalgia” in the first paragraph probably means . A. recalling the past B. predicting the future C. missing friends and relatives D. losing something you love42. According to the passage, feelings of nostalgia . A. can make you succeed in life B. fill one with hopes for the future C. bring about a love for the past and a hope for the future D. can cause you to think of your past full of hopes and dreams43. The reason for grown persons to think back to their past is that .A. times are hard, so they can not keep up with changesB. many grown persons have little time keeping up with changes in the modern worldC. they can hardly keep up with changes in todays wordD. they lived in the past, of which they are always proud44. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? A. Too much nostalgia is harmfulB. Nostalgia shows that a person is not satisfied with his present life.C. Only women have feelings of nostalgia.D. A little nostalgia can make a persons life more colorful 45. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Thoughts on NostalgiaB. Nostalgia, Good or badC. Why They Think Back to the PastD. Reasons for NostalgiaBMany young people are excited by their weeks on a job. For others, this early period is disappointing. Some difficulties may be caused by the individuals lack of information and preparation. Often, unpleasant surprises result from the unreal expectations aroused during the recruiting process(招聘过程). Recruiters and interviewers overstate the attractiveness of a job to gain a large number of candidates. Applicants overstate their abilities and understate their needs to improve their chances of getting the job. At the same time, they may fail to study the company to which they are applying. Thus, each side offers a mixed bag of truths, all likely to cause problems when those hired begin to work.The problem of over-expectations can exist for anyone, but it may be especially serious for those young graduates from famous business schools. They have been used to fast, regular feedback(反馈) on their performance and to the atmosphere of the university. They expect to find the same conditions on their new jobs. But once on the job, they think that their skills and abilities remain unused.An individual whose expectations are inconsistent with the realities of a new job is not likely to develop an effective and satisfying work role in the company. Edgar Schein found that almost 75 percent of the interviewed graduates changed jobs at least once over a five-year period. He also found that within five years most companies lose over half of the college graduates they hire. Schein thinks that this is caused by the difference between the graduates expectations and the realities of the company. Similarly, in his study of a small group of American business school graduates, working in South America, Schein found that job continuation and satisfaction were related to how closely the graduates original expectations matched the realities of their jobs.46. The author mainly wants to tell us .A. how young people get their first jobsB. reasons for young graduates disappointment with their first jobs during their first weeksC. some companies cant treat young graduates well D. expectations and realities47. That some young people are disappointed during their first weeks in a new job may be caused by . A. their over-excitement B. new working conditions C. the individuals lack of information and preparationD. their lack of abilities48. College graduates overstate their abilities because they want to .A. get a higher payment B. attract more companies C. obtain a large number of candidates D. get the jobs49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. One man is not likely to develop an effective and satisfying work role in the company.B. Three fourths of the interviewed graduates changed jobs over a five- year period.C. Over half of the college graduates lost their jobs within five years D. An individuals expectations are in consistent with the reality of the job.50. It is concluded from the passage that . A. it is more frequent for young people to change their jobs then others B. young peoples skills and abilities are not needed in companies C. over half of the college graduates lost their jobs within five yearsD. an individuals expectations are in consistent with the reality of the jobCFor a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use “essay” tests, which require students to write long answers to broad general questions such as the following: “Mention several ways in which Bejamin Franlin has influenced the thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.”One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows how deeply he has thought about the subject. Sometimes, though, essay tests gave disadvantages too. Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in essay form.Besides, in an essay test the students score may depend upon the examiners feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the students knowledge can usually be obtained.51. What may have been discussed in the paragraphs before this passage?A. The essay test. B. How teachers test their students. C. How students write their essay. D. The objective test.52. How many disadvantages of essay tests are mentioned in this passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four53. The essay test is preferred because .A. it shows more about the students understanding of the subjectB. it tests the students knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideasC. it gives each students a fairer chanceD. its scoring may be influenced by the examiners feelings54. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refers to .A. students may receive a lower score in an essay testB. another examiner usually gives the answer an higher markC. different examiners may give the same essay different scoresD. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance55. According to the passage, which of the following about the objective test is NOT true?A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.B. It allows the students to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.C. It shows the students ability to think about difficult problems.D. It is easy and quick to score第二节：信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并把答案写在答题卡标号为5660的空格中，选项中一项为多余选项。The people below are trying to choose which lecture to attend.
