Hoffman,40, a former senior vice president of a financial company,had what she describes as "one of those extreme jobs". "I loved working," she says. But her career path reached a crossroad when her second child was born,and she left her job in February2007. Hoffman is one of many people who have left the work force to take a break,but she has a position as a consultant. She has described this type of career detour (绕路) 一which is more common for women than for men―as"offramping". Typically it occurs when the balancing act of parenting and work becomes too tough.

A study by the center found that more than90 percent of women who offramp want to onramp back into the work force eventually. But making the transition back to work is rarely easy,and it is even harder in this economic climate of layoffs and hiring freezes.

Considering some of the obstacles faced by onrampers,a threeday program called "Greater Returns：Restarting Your Career”was held at Columbia University. The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence.

According to one school of thought,women looking to make a comeback might even have an advantage in the current economy,especially if they are looking for parttime or consultant positions that do not offer benefits. And a majority of onrampers are women with extensive working experiences that could give them a slight advantage over lessexperienced competition.

"You absolutely cannot be defensive about why you offramped," Ms. Hoffman says, "defensive" would have put her into a hard situation if the Greater Returns program had not taught her how to describe the years she spent at home. "I now feel confident talking to an employer and saying , ' Yes,I have been out of the work force,but here is where I can make significant contributions.'”

( ) 5. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Off-Ramp：It Is Common.

B. On-Ramp：It Is Easy.

C. Off-Ramp to On-Ramp：It Can Be a Hard journey.

D. Off-Ramp or On-Ramp：It Depends on Confidence.

( ) 6. According to the passage,Greater Returns .

A. is intended to relieve the pressure of the jobless women

B. has all the jobless women restart their career

C. is to last all the year around for the jobless women

D. will build up the confidence of those in search of jobs

( ) 7. The main reason for the women's offramping is that .

A. they have to suffer the sexual discrimination

B. they reach a crossroad of career

C. they have to parent their children

D. they have great work pressure

( ) 8. Which job is easier to get for a woman offramper?

A. Regular workers. B. Casual workers.

C. Company managers. D. Bank clerks.

( ) 9. From what Ms. Hoffman says in the last paragraph,we can conclude .

A. she didn't get advice from the Greater Returns program

B. she was defensive about her offramping

C. she didn't get the job because she lied about her experience

D. she is onramp partly due to her straightforward manner

Perhaps the greatest challenge I faced during my undergraduate years was entering hospital as a medical student. Even now,I still remember what happened to me the first day I 1 the gynecological (妇科的) department. Wearing white gowns,my teacher and I began to diagnose and 2 patients at 8 a.m. At the beginning,patients came in and my teacher got very 3 . After each patient's case history had been asked,they were examined. While I was only observing how my teacher 4 the medical records and never went into the examination room. Half an hour later,my teacher began to 5 with me. "Why don't you come into the examination room?" she asked.

I was a man of few words and I would 6 if I met a girl,let alone doing a gynecological examination. "I think it's too 7," I answered.

"But you can't forget you are a doctor. If you are shy,you are not able to 8 in this department," she said seriously.

At that moment,I felt very 9 . Just then another patient came,when my teacher was preparing to examine her,I 10 to walk into the entrance of the room. "Please pass me the medical gloves. ” My teacher had 11 me. I had to get into the room and obeyed her. She asked the patient to take off her dress,but the patient 12 ,

"Why?" My teacher asked.

"I think that man should go away" ， she pointed at me. "Never mind,he is our young doctor."

Quite 13 ,the patient took off her dress and we finished the examination. To my surprise,my teacher asked me to 14 the examination by myself when the next patient came. Under much 15 I entered the examination room and pretended to be experienced. In fact,I was so 16 that my heart was beating very fast. I tried my best to calm down.

"Have you ever 17 any patients before? You seem to be very young. ” The patient asked.

"Yes,I've worked here only for two years and if there is any question,I will 18 that old doctor."

Hearing my words,the patient seemed to be 19 ,and I continued the examination successfully. Going out of the room,I told all this to my teacher and she was 20 with me.

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded―and can come back to haunt (困扰) you―appears to be the key to the finding.

Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca,New York,asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes,and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails,21 percent of instant messages,27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.

His results to be presented at the conference on humancomputer interaction in Vienna,Austria,in April,have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars,reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable,the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practised at that form of communication.

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread,and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account,he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

People are also more likely to lie in real time―in a instant message or phone call―than if they have time to think of a response,says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpected demand,such as: "Do you like my dress?"

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance,the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But,given his result,work assessment where honesty is a priority,might be best done using email.

( ) 5. Hancock's study focuses on .

A. the consequences of lying in various communications media

B. the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas

C. people are less likely to lie in instant messages

D. people's honesty levels across a range of communications media

( ) 6. Hancock's research finding surprised those who believed that .

A. people are less likely to lie in instant messages

B. people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions

C. people are most likely to lie in email communication

D. people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

( ) 7. According to the passage,why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?

A. They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies.

B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.

C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.

D. They are most practiced at those forms of communication.

( ) 8. According to Hancock the telephone is a preferable medium for promoting sales because .

A. salesmen can talk directly to their customers

B. salesmen may feel less restrained to exaggerate

C. salesmen can impress customers as being trustworthy

D. salesmen may pass on instant messages effectively

The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in the last seventy years. In the nineteen thirties,twentyfive percent of the nation's population lived on farms. Today less than one percent of Americans do.

Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example,in nineteen thirtythree,people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time,farm families had about onethird the income of nonfarmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late nineteen seventies,however,that difference had almost disappeared.

In two thousand four,farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about eightyone thousand dollars. That is more than the average American family,which earned about sixty thousand dollars.

Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmers. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones.

The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average hourly pay for all private industrial workers is about sixteen dollars. The B. L. S. says average weekly pay for all industrial workers is about five hundred fifty dollars. But that is an average. Workers can earn as much as twice the average or as little as half of it depending on the industry in which they work.

Industrial workers are about twentythree percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing. Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional,technical and other services employ about seventysix percent of the labor force.

( ) 1. What is the topic discussed in the passage?

A. Agriculture developments in America.

B. Pay for farmers compared with that of industrial workers.

C. The living conditions for farmers and workers in America.

D. How to measure the income of the American farmers.

( ) 2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. There is no difference between farmers' pay and that of workers.

B. Farmers used to have less incomes than workers.

C. Farmers' incomes have changed a lot.

D. Farmers and workers are equal in society.

( ) 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Farmers in America can live better than the workers in cities.

B. The farmers are less in America because they can earn more outside.

C. Farmers sometimes can earn more than the average income in US.

D. It is hard to know the incomes of the farmers.

( ) 4. We can infer from the passage that .

A. farmers' incomes will increase a lot

B. it is hard to compare farm pay with industrial pay

C. the number of industrial workers is decreasing

D. every worker in America can earn about 550 dollars a week
