A Emanuel s father liked to declare he d spent ages by the sea breathing seawater Now away from the sea in the hospital his body just looked like a beached fish His condition went from bad to worse The doctor came from saying He ll be home in a day He ll be home in a week to He will be home in a month When Emanuel was a teenager if he ever seemed bored with the pier 码头 his father would shout What This isn t good enough for you And later when he suggested Emanuel take a job at the pier after high school the boy almost laughed and his father again said What This isn t good enough for you And before Emanuel went to war when he talked of marrying Maggie and becoming an engineer his father said What This isn t good enough for you And now here he was Emanuel helped out at the pier working evenings after his taxi job doing his father s labor Parents rarely let go of their children so children let go of them They move on They move away It is not until much later that children understand their stories and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers One night his father lying in hospital was practically too weak to speak Others comforted him Your old man will pull through He s the toughest man we ve ever seen When the news came that his father had died Emanuel felt heart broken In the following weeks Emanuel s mother lived in a confused state She spoke to her husband as if he were still there She yelled at him to turn down the radio She cooked enough food for two One night when Emanuel offered to 6 help with the dishes she said Your father

doesn t like to listen to the radio B I do desire to help my Chinese students to find a better way of learning I once divided my Chinese MBA students into six groups and set them an assignment brainstorming on two hour business plans for example a restaurant chain Originality would be valued most As a result five groups proposed projects for restaurant chains The sixth showed a catering service I couldn t help expressing my disappointment though the time limit had been rather challenging Those middle managers and financial analysts from state owned enterprises and global companies were not untalented or without opinions but they had been accustomed to an educational system that rarely rewarded critical thinking or Originality Papers were often copied from the Internet and the Harvard Business Review Students insisted that copying was a superior business strategy better than inventing and creating In China you can see almost all kinds of products you can imagine have been made and sold but so few well developed marketing and management minds have been produced that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand Partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established so as to solve the problem mentioned above And there s also the thousand 7 talent scheme this new government program is designed to improve technological modernization by inviting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with large sums of money But there are concerns about China s research environment which is known for lacking in encouraging independent thinking and inventiveness and even high salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this If China wants to become a major world creator it is no good just seeking partnerships with top Western universities or gathering a group of well educated people and telling them to think creatively It s time to establish a rich learning environment for young minds Yes new way of learning is the key 60 The author feels disappointed when the students hand in their plans because A there s one group presenting a catering service B all groups followed his idea of restaurant

all over the world B High pay can solve the problem of China s research environment C Foreign trained scientists are expected to invent a Chinese brand D The new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination 62 Which can serve as the best title of the passage A Look for a New Way of Learning B Develop MBA Students Creative Thinking C Help China to Become a Creator D Improve China s Research Environment C School is over and it s time for the family to get your children moving and have fun Choose a suitable one from the following family activities GymnasticsGymnastics Gymnastics

There have been discussions about retire age limit recently Does it make sense to make people retire at a particular age say 55 60 Some people work well into their 70s and 80s running families countries or corporations while other people despite being fit and highly talented are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier Here I will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage 9 Some people think there are several reasons for allowing older people to continue working Firstly older employees are more experienced and their knowledge can be lost to his company or business if they are made to retire Secondly older employees are often extremely loyal and more willing to carry out company policies than younger staff Another point is related to our society s attitudes to the old To force someone to retire at 50 or 60 indicates that the society does not value the contribution of these people which may be regarded as age discrimination However others believe that allowing older people to work indefinitely 无 限期 is not a good policy Age alone is no guarantee of ability Old people are ambitious workaholics Many young employees are more skillful than older staff who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives Having compulsory retirement encourages new ideas in an organization In addition without age limits many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans Another reason is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure We now have youngsters who can t find jobs because old people refuse to retire This new generation of old people may think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low level positions older workers are expected to retire However this can affect their right to work I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit both society and the individual 67 All the following statements are reasons for allowing old people to continue working EXCEPT that A their contributions should be valued B their experience should be appreciated C they can be ambitious workaholics D they are extremely loyal employees 68 The underlined sentence in the fourth passage suggests that A retired people support the young to be creative B more fresh employees mean more fresh ideas C retired people are unwilling to praise new ideas D young employees are forced to be creative 69 The structure of the passage is arranged as 70 The author is likely to agree that A it s not wise to suggest lengthening the retirement age B it does make sense to set a particular retirement age 10 C having different retirement age sounds unreasonable D when to retire should depend on the employees themselves E Australia s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia 安乐死 that s to say doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John the director of the
