   You could be jetting off to foreign countries,staying in five-star hotels,eatihg in top-class restaurants,and it's all paid for by your employer. Who wouldn’t want a job that involves foreign travel?

   36 There is a big difference between travelling to Milan as a tourist and travelling there to spend a day in the type of hotel meeting room that can be found anywhere in Europe. Speak to seasoned international business travellers to get an idea of what you will face. Flights can be delayed,things can go wrong and it's easy to get exhausted. 37    Simply targeting any job that involves foreign travel is not the way to start. Making travel your first requirement is not the way to choose a career. 38 Instead,you should consider all the usual factors(因素) ，such as qualifications and experience,and only then choose a sector (行业) or company that offers opportunities for international travel.

   The travel and hotel trades are obvious areas,but the commercial sector also offers chances for travel. In the retail(零售) sector,buyers often travel,especially if they work in fresh produce. Employment in communications,banking and finance,and property management is also worth looking at. 39 The number of jobs involving travel,especially at middle-management level,is growing.

   So what will help you secure a role with an international flavour? 40 A second language is a good indication of how well someone will adapt. You need to show you are flexible and willing to learn. If your company has a sister company in the Czech Republic,for instance,learning some Czech will boost your chances.

   A. But not all employers are like this.

   B. But it's not always as exciting as it sounds.

   C. Many jobs mean travelling alone,so you can be lonely.

   D. They will limit the amount that people travel each year.

   E. Employers look for candidates with an international outlook.

   F. It is as illogical as saying you want a job that involves wearing smart clothes.

   G. Almost any career can mean international travel,if you choose the right company and role.

C 

To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.

Common sense is not all that common.

Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse

These three popular misquotes (戏虐的引语) are meant to be jokes,and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err,or to make mistakes,is indeed a part of being human,but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this： “To err is human,to forgive,divine (神圣的) .” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead,we tend to do the opposite —find someone else to pass the blame on to. However,taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.

Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well,and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm,but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations,because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company,uthe right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. ”

And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people,especially young people,get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time.There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest,then where is the place of the truth?

46. According to the passage,which of the following seems the most human?

   A. To search for truth.

   B. To achieve one's ideal.

   C. To make fun of others’ mistakes.

   D. To criticize others for one's own error.

47. According to the author,what is a sign of a man's maturity?

   A. Doing things his own way.

   B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.

   C. Making as few mistakes as possible.

   D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoings.

48. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?

   A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.

   B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.

   C. A company's next move follows a good plan.

   D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.

49. What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?

   A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.

   B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.

   C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.

   D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.

50. What would be the best title for this passage?

   A. A Mirror of Human Nature

   B. To Blame or to Forgive

   C. A Mark of Maturity

   D. Truth of Excuse

14. -Jim,you quiet!Don’t you know it's time for class now?

—一Sorry,sir.

   A. being   B. will be   C. are   D. be

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever,even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schcx) ls across the country. In fact,according to an official report on youth violence,uIn our country today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment,but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case,why aren'tstudents taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?

First of all,students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱) . For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults,which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich,but in the way students deal with the conflict.

Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable,they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决 ) ： stay calm. Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words,name-calling,and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand,soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.

After both sides have calmed down,they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution： listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side,and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward,the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker^ position. Then the two people should change roles.

Finally,students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example,a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these： How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer,the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t,careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.

There will always be conflict in schools,but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program,according to Educators for Social Responsibility,<464 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation;and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,teachers,parents,bosses,and coworkers. In that way,conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

B 

Ten years ago,I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn^ earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job. The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight,too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.

There's a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to. For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top,and instead of having one glass,I would have several. I started smoking a lot,too. I never used to smoke at all.

Two months ago,I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time!My job takes everything out of me!

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that,I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them,too. I just don't know what I should do. What do you think?
