An important journey B Two bags C Father and daughter D Love in a paper bag C C Like most people I ve long understood that I will be judged by my 用心 爱心 专心3 occupation that my profession is a standard people use to see how smart or talented I am Recently however I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I m treated as a person Last year I left a professional position as a small town reporter and took a job waiting tables As someone paid to serve food to people I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances 泛泛之交 One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away then asked me back with his finger minutes later complaining he was ready to order and asking where I d been I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon 勤杂工 by plenty of people But at 19 years old I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults Besides people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college Customers would joke that one day I d be sitting at their table waiting to be served Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper From my first day I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me I assumed this was the way the professional world worked I soon found out differently I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie The mistake was immediately evident Perhaps it was because money was involved but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me My job title made people treat me politely So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry It s no secret that there s a lot to put up with when waiting tables and fortunately much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips The service industry by definition exists to satisfy others needs Still it seemed that many of my customers didn t get the difference between server and servant I m now applying to graduate school which means someday I ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want I think I ll take them to dinner first and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them 9 The author was disappointed to find that A one s position is used as a standard to measure one s intelligence B talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job C one s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person D professionals tend to look down upon manual waitresses 10 What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph A Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them B People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent minded C Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances D Some customers like to complain because of the waitress poor service 11 How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19 A She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional B She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon C She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her D She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior 12 The underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 means 用心 爱心 专心4 A those who satisfy others needs are sure to be looked down upon B those working in the service industry shouldn t be treated as servants C those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living D the majority of customers tend to look on a servant as server nowadays D D For the most part schools are designed to produce people who fit into society not people who set out to change it However schools particularly universities may not only spread culture they may add to the cultural heritage 遗产 Today American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge especially in the physical and biological sciences medicine and engineering In recent years the nation s leading universities have increasingly become research centres An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not by abilities as teachers but as researchers Promotions salary increases and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publication 出版物 However the most important is no longer publishing To be successful these days professors have to bring in money provided by government and private industry Critics claim that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to ignore their teaching duties to pursue research activities Defenders say that even when students themselves are not involved in research projects they benefit from such an emphasis on research Major research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also cooperated with industrial companies to develop technology and products with commercial potential With university industry ties continuing to grow debate has increased about the consequences for basic science academic openness the control of information the direction of research and the influence on students 13 According to the passage which of the following is NOT emphasized by today s American society A Physical science B Biological sciences C Engineering D Computer science 14 In the present standard a successful professor is one who can A teach well B get financial support for research C get the highest salary D have many publications 15 Supporters of the present emphasis on research argue that A it involves more students in it B it does good to students anyway C it has a direct good effect on teaching D it earns a lot of money for a university 16 The author seems to be the move of emphasis to research A totally against B sorry to see C in favor of D neutral 中立 about E E If you have a chance to go to Finland you will probably be surprised to find how foolish the Finnish people are Take the taxi drivers for example Taxis in Finland are mostly high class 用心 爱心 专心5 Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer You can go anywhere in one tell the driver to drop you at any place say that you have some business to attend to and then walk off without paying your fare The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests but also serve outside diners Hotel guests have their meals free so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter With such a loose check you can easily use any old registration 登记 card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge The Finnish workers are paid by the hour They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly With so many loopholes 漏洞 in everyday life surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take petty advantages But the strange thing is all the taxi passengers would always come back
