He used to be so appreciative that I didnt mind doing a little extra, but about two months ago, he started being rude and demanding. Now he even yells when I dont have time to bring his favorite wine to his home after work. This change started when we met a wealthy new customer, who is a huge jerk (古怪的人) - my bosss new behavior is just like his. My boss is a good man; he and his family have treated me like a little sister. Is there a good way to discuss this with him?Karla: Sounds like your new customer has set a bad example to your boss. You need to remind your boss that youre in his corner- but youre not his slave. My suggestions are as follows.Start with a simple question in a calm moment: “Is everything okay?”State the truth: “Until recently, Ive felt like a valued teammate. But our relationship has become tense. Your expectations of me seem to have changed. Although I used to do occasional personal businesses for you as a favor, now it seems expected.”Draw your lines: “If you think my job description needs to change or my performance is not good enough, lets discuss that. Otherwise, I need you to stop yelling at me and to respect my personal time.”Ideally, youll get an apology and a promise to do better. After that, its a matter of reinforcement (加强) . If he starts yelling, look at him with a calm expression. After he cools down, restate his request and add, “Is that correct?” For the unreasonable request, such as fetching his favorite wine after work: “Im afraid I cant take care of that for you.” If he keeps acting like a jerk, there are bosses out there who will better respect your time and talent.Karla L. Miller is ready to hear your work dramas. Send your questions to . 21. We can infer that the readers boss used to be _.A. grateful and friendly B. rich but strangeC. proud and hard-working D. honest but self-centered22.

When the readers boss asks her to do something unreasonable next time, she is advised to _.A. quit her job B. look at her boss calmlyC. refuse the request D. discuss the job description24. What sort of problem can be solved by Karla L. Miller?A. How do I make a friend? B. How do I kill my personal time?C. How can I get along well with my workmates? D. How can I get rid of wine?BWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, youre not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldnt drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.Its time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli ,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one examplewhat will be the next?25.

Medical treatments of the future. D. The reason for the success of new technology.CUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter - a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter -a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts familys ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the same Donnell.29. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters.C. Talents that people possessed. D. Peoples occupations.30. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _.A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containers D. built houses and furniture31. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _.A. Beatrice Smith B. Leonard CarterC. George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood32. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _.A. later generations B. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partners D. later bossesDWhile CCTVs educational show Animal World is well known, few big screen wildlife documentaries have been made by Chinas film industry.But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into nature -themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals lives during different seasons.Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wildgiant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture. A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The pandas gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in Chinas most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”33. How is Born in China special according to the article?A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.B. Its considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.C. Its the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China.D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.34. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _.A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the worldB. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey KingC. the stories show how animals grow up to be independentD. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals35. What may be the best title for the text?A. The stories of 3 animal families B. Symbols of ChinaC. Wildlife born in China D. Nature shows culture第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项畏多余选项。Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach 36 ，so get help.

But one day I read a piece of paper in my dads briefcase that _41_everything. Thats when I saw the words: “Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome(埃斯博格综合症).”I screamed at my dad, “Tell me what it is!” He _42_ that I have a mild form of brain disorders, which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people. I wasnt sure exactly what he _43_, but it didnt matter. I just wanted to try to _44_ my shock and go back to the way things were before I knew. But even though I wouldnt _45_ acknowledge the news, Aspergers still destroyed my confidence and made me _46_ and isolated. I felt like an outcast(被抛弃者)-not just because Aspergers made it hard for me to make friends, but because now I had this _47_ . I just wanted to be like everyone else. _48_, at 16, I said to myself, “Enough! You cant run and hide from it, girl. Just face it.”Its funny, the first time I thought something was _49_ was not because of what I couldnt do - it was because of what i could do. In the sixth grade, while other kids were _50_ with spelling, I was like a human spell-checker! Ive also had a photographic memory, and _51_ I call my “super powers”-extrasensory hearing and acute awareness: I can _52_ phone numbers people dial just by the sound the buttons make when pressed or _53_ hear one sour note in an entire symphony! And I can _54_ pay attention to two things at once. Dont get me wrong. Aspergers can be very confusing. For years I felt like a butterfly _55_ in its cocoon(茧），waiting to emerge. It took years of work with a psychologist to _56_ the difficulty of making friends. Im not going to let Aspergers create _57_ for me. That why I am happy to have found out about and faced my _58_. Aspergers is a metaphor(象征) for life: We all have _59_ , but the key is to be able to have the _60_ to face whats bad about them and still find whats good. 41.
