Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they dont hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing. The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30s, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. Ive watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them tailored. Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, Fat, medium or thin? She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the days meals take their toll),puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, Am I getting fatter? His wife is expected to answer, You look like you may have lost a few pounds. And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasnt eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think hes fat? 16Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem. ARight BWrong CNot mentioned 17Women of a certain age do not discuss the fat problem, especially in the presence of men. ARight BWrong CNot mentioned 18Men usually begin to worry about their weight when they are nearly 40. ARight BWrong CNot mentioned 19The journalist used to drink Diet Coke and tuck his shirts in order to keep trim. ARight BWrong CNot mentioned 20Men older than the journalist never hesitate to talk about their fat problem yet would be displeased if their family members tell them the truth. ARight BWrong CNot mentioned 21My oldest brothers daughter would not tell her father he is fat because she loves him so much that she cannot bear to upset him. ARight BWrong CNot mentioned 22The ex-husbands are pitiful because they have got no wives to sympathize with their fat problem.

If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the bosss secretary, there are keys to timing dont approach the boss when hes on deadllne, dont go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed, dont go in just before or after he has token a vacation. 2If youre mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm clown first. And dont let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then maybe he will dismiss you. 3Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.4Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you cant put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem, People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they cant get past the secretary. 5To deal effectively with a boss, its important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals. 23Paragraph 2_ 24Paragraph 3_ 25Paragraph 4_ 26Paragraph 5_ AKeep your voice low all the time BPut yourself in the bosss position CPropose your solution DDont go in when you are angry EMake the issue clear FNever give in 27If you want to ask the boss for anything, it is important to find out first_. 28It is necessary to make clear to the boss_. 29It is not wise to present the boss with a problem_. 30You must be considerate and think of the troubles_.

Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology, while the West concerns itself with the how, the question of for whom is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy. Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries, and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade, exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important that the production of goods. The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global marketswith destructive impact on the have-nots. For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As futures are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselvesso-called development communications modernization. Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U. S., Europe or Japan; the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also expensive, and imported products and services must therefore be bought on creditcredit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development. This means that while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit, those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied it. 31From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of_. Athe world economy Bthe rich countries Cthe scientific development Dthe elite 32It can be inferred from the passage that_. Athe interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration Bthe export of the poor countries should be increased Ccommunications technology in the developing countries should be modernized Dinternational trade should be expanded 33Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries? _. ABecause it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries. BBecause it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries. CBecause it enables the developed counties to control the international market. DBecause it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries. 34The development of modern communications technology in developing countries may_. Aforce them to reduce their share of exports Bcost them their economic independence Chinder their industrial production Dcause them to lose control of their trade 35The authors attitude toward the communications revolution is _. Atolerant Bindifferent Cpositive Dcritical 第二篇 A Fire near Waco Six years later, in an about-face, the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) admits that federal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in 1993. But the official said the firing came several hours before the structure burst into flames, killing 80 people including the Davidians leader, David Koresh. In looking into this, weve come across information that shows some canisters that can be deemed pyrotechnic in nature were firedhours before the fire started,” the official said. “Devices were fired at the bunker, not at the main structure where the Davidians were camped out. The FBI maintains it did not start what turned to be a series of fiery bursts of flames that ended a 51-day standoff between branch members and the federal government. This doesnt change the bottom line that David Koresh started the fire and the government did not, the official said. It simple shows that devices that could probably be flammable were used in the early morning hours. The law enforcement official said the canisters were fired not at the main structure where the Davidian members were camped out but at the nearby underground hunker. They bounced off the bunkers concrete roof and landed in an open field well, the official said. The canisters were fired at around 6 a. m., and the fire that destroyed the wooden compound started around noon, the official said. The official also added that other tear gas canisters used by agent that day were not flammable or potentially explosive. While Coulson denied the grenades played a role in starting the fire, his statement marked the first time that any U. S. government official has publicly contradicted the governments position that federal agents used nothing on the final day of the siege at Waco that could have sparked the fire that engulfed the compound. The cause of the fiery end is a major focus of an ongoing inquiry by the Texas Rangers into the Waco siege. 36The FBI official has NOT admitted that_. Athe canisters were fired at the main structure Bthe canisters were fired hours before the fire started Cfederal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire Dother tear gas canisters that were not flammable or potentially explosive were also used 37From the passage, what information can be inferred about the event in 1993? _. AThe compound was blown up by the FBI agents. BThe compound burst into flames at dawn. CThe federal government besieged the compound for 51 days before the tragedy occurred. DAbout 80 people were killed in the event except the Davidians leader, David Koresh. 38 After reading the passage, how much do you know about the compound near Waco? _. AAbout 51 people lived in the compound at the time of the event in 1993. BIt consisted of a main structure and a bunker. CIt was built of stone. DIt was a schoolhouse. 39Coulsons speech has_. Amade the matter even more complicated and confusing Bbeen approved by the government Cmet sharp criticism Dbrought the whole matter into broad daylight 40The attitude of the narrator towards this message is _. Aneutral Bbitter Cexcited Dexpectant 第三篇 A Minor Microsurgery Last year, Sean Martinovich, from Whitianga, had life-saving surgery when a golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem. But the operation left half his face paralysed. He talked with a slur, sometimes dribbled out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly. Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground, when they laughed he could not laugh with them. Without a smile, he could suffer psychologically and emotionally. Last week, 6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile. Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Seans legs and transplanted it into his face. On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches. Well cut those nerve branches and then well take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve thats been cut on the good side of his face. Doctor Bartlett said, before the operation. If this was not fixed he could face physical and emotional problems as he got older, Doctor Bartlett said. Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis. Its easy for people, especially children, to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face. Scan is not smiling yet. Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back. Seans parents, Steve and Wendy Martinovich, said they had been through a year of hell. But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it, said Mrs Martinovich. They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much. For Doctor Bartlett the mi
