After all, not everybody is gifted with great 11111. The good news is that it is something that can be 11211 and eventually perfected.When the customer before you takes ages to 11311 his or her groceries, you tap your foot impatiently and cough every now and then to remind the 11411 to move quickly; but no, he is still not 11511. It takes all of your power not to make a scene. However, if you 11611 that customer to be someone you like, then you will find yourself not getting too 11711, right?So the next time you find yourself losing patience with somebody, simply think of that person to be someone you really 11811 and your patience will last longer.The second step on how to be patient with people involves whistling. When you whistle a 11911 tune, you are instantly in good 111011. You can hum(哼) your favorite song if you cant whistleit really doesnt make a(n) 111111. Whats important here is that you did something that makes you feel good. And when you feel good, you are more 111211 to be patient with the people around you.When youre stressed, its almost impossible to learn how to be patient with people. Youve got to find a way to 111311 first. If you know youre going to be in a situation where your patience will be tested, get yourself a massage(按摩) first. Remember: the more stressed you are, the 111411 youll lose your temper. Learning how to be patient with people is not a 111511 in life. Youve seen people who manage to survive day to day with unbelievably short tempers after all. 1. A. patienceB. generosityC. eleganceD. strength2. A. ignoredB. stressedC. rejectedD. learned3.

A competition was organized. It would use the 111611 (late) invention of Professor Shafte: the Gladometer (快乐测量仪).To date, the Gladometer is the only invention ever 111711 (build) capable of measuring joy and happiness.So, one by one, the children presented 111811 own particular talents to their parents. And the Gladometer faithfully measured their parents reactions.One boy turned up 111911 a trained pig; the pig sang and danced. A girl came and played the violin like an angel. 112011 intelligent boy came and read his very big book. The parents happiness was easy to see.Finally, a boy came to the Gladometer carrying 112111. Nor did he know how to do anything. When the organizers asked him what he was going to do, he 112211 (simple) said, “I am very obedient(顺从的).” The machine measured such a high reading 112311 it began violently shaking, and finally 112411 (explode). The boy who had done nothing won all the prizes that day, for solving the mystery of 112511 pleases parents the most.阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）AEven when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why arent you completely efficient? Its because time isnt the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. Its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it. 26. If someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.Aa schedule without gaps Bbreaks and distractionsCthe limited time Dthe limited energy27. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.Awork without any rest Bfocus on many things at a timeCfind some more time in a day Ddo some exercise regularly28. After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writers life?AHe had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.BHe stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.CHe found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.DHe pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.29. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.Aprove what the real limiting factor is Bshow us how busily he needs to workCexplain how important a healthy body isDtell us what an odd experience he has30. What is the best title of the passage?AAre You Really Lack of Time? BHow Can You Work Efficiently?CWhat Makes Your Energy Limitedd? DWhen Should You Do Exercise?BOutside our hotel in Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched (张开的). Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met. She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. As I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos. Then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me.Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers wont immediately appear on the scene.For many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect. Everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.31. The woman beggars helped the author go across the busy street because _.Athe author gave her material assistance Bthe author treated her kindly and friendlyCthe author would help her as a reward Dthe author was a foreigner32. From the story, what position of the beggars in the authors mind might be?Aequal Bsuperior Clower Dvaluable33. In common cases, people will do the following things to the beggars EXCEPT for _.Apretending to see nothing Bhanding out some moneyCrefusing them angrily Dgreeting them normally34. According to the author, the most important things beggars really need are _.Amercy and pity Bmoney and food Csmile and greeting Dattention and respect35. The purpose of the passage is to _.Ashow how poor the beggars are in VietnamBoffer some advice on dealing with beggingCexpress what we should offer the beggarsDdescribe an experience with a beggar C From bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession(衰退) starts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.“In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective(集体的) responsibility. While in the West, its more about individual survival,” said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.Japans jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kongs was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.36. The underlined word “prospect” in the first paragraph most probably means _.Aweather Bscene Cfuture Dplace37. Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that _.Aits helpful to the economy recoveryBit costs the company less money to survive Cit will keep the experienced and skilled workersDit can form a team working harder and more loyally38. According to Michael Benoliel, the Confucian mindset focuses on _.Ahuman rights Bsharing responsibilityCpersonal profits Dindividual survival39. In which company can we infer the job cuts will be probably the most severe? AA local American group.BA small Japanese company.CA German branch of a Korean multinational.DA Hong Kongs unit of a French company.40. The passage mainly tells us _.Athe difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with todayBthe cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at presentCthe ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturnDthe different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recessionDThey may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密） them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.41. According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _.A. had most of their company data stolen B. depended on wireless computer networksC. were exposed to drive-by hacking D. were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking42.Whichof the following is NOT considered in the study?A.The number of computer hacking incidents.B.The number of wireless computer networks identified.C.The way in which data are sent and received.D.The way in which data are hacked and stolen.43.Most wireless network technology has_.A.data encryption program B. password security programsC.illegal-user detectionD. firewall44.Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves _.A. wireless signal administration B. changes in users awarenessC.users psychological health D. stronger physical walls45.The passage is lost likely to be seen in a _ A. book review B. science fiction C. textbook D. computer magazine第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下面有关购车的五条建议：A. Dont assume that the sticker price is the purchase price. To get the lowest price, go in with a starting price thats based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle. A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price, depending on the demand for the model.B. Do your homework. Thoroughly research your choices. Read a variety of reviews. Check the reliability, safety, fuel economy, and pricing of any models youre considering. And dont wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles. If you have a trade-in, know its approximate worth. That will depend on the vehicles age, condition, mileage, and equipment, as well as where you trade it in. C. Negotiate one thing at one time。 Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price. Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price. Only after youve settled on the price should you discuss financing, leasing, or a trade-in, as necessary. Negotiate each item individually. Remember, youre in charge and can leave at any time. Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer. D. Dont pay for extras you dont need. Dont accept those unnecessary services and fees. If the items are on the bill of sale, put a line through them. Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust. And CR reliability survey show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars. You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products. You can do your own VN etching with a kit that costs about $25. E. Other costs. In addition to the vehicle price, you need to consider other costs, including: Sales tax; Registration fees; Insurance premiums Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-p
