Just the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.
From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry (条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly (任意地) selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with their performance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.
Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices (登记处) for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.
In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past, each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.
【小题1】 Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores ______.

A．immediately on a central computer for scoring test papers
B．a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center worker
C．on the next day after they have taken the exam
D．immediately after the exam by means of the same computer
【小题2】 If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance ______.
A．he can admit defeat and give it upB．he can ask the computer to give some advice
C．he can ask another chance within a few daysD．he is allowed to do it once again
【小题3】Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that ______.
A．different exams can be taken in the same room
B．one doesn’t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an exam
C．it will be much easier to pass an examination
D．one can take an exam almost at any time of the year
【小题4】The word denied in the last sentence most probably means ______.
A．refusedB．allowedC．lostD．passed

The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years’ development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1,000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.
【小题1】 The underlined word “ vulnerable” in paragraph 3 means _______.

A．easy to damage　　B．likely to be protected
C．impossible to make sure of　　D．difficult to find
【小题2】The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because they _______.
A．could tell wind direction　　B．could bring good luck to fighters
C．were believed to stand for natural forcesD．were handed down by the ancestors
【小题3】What does the author know of the first national flag?
A．He knows when it was sent to Europe.B．He doubts where it started.
C．He thinks it came from China.　　D．He believes it was made in Egypt.
【小题4】What will the author most probably talk about next?
A．The role of China in the spread of the national flag.
B．The importance of modern flags.
C．The use of modern flags in Europe.
D．The second ancestor of the national flag.

    The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is , rather, the product of thousands of years’ development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.

    Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable (易受损害的). Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.

    Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.

    Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no” to others means you are saying “yes” to yourself,” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.

    Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt （内疚） or fear of punishment.  “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated （强制的）‘yes’”, she said.

    Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no”. My advice is to say “yes” only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”

    Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.

But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes.  Don’t find yourself saying “no” to everything. In return you should learn to hear “no”.”

1. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself” in the second paragragh means ________.

    A. you can have more time to play with others

    B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy

    C. you are selfish and treat others rudely

    D. you can deal with your business as you have planned

2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a ________.

    A. secret way     B. polite way         C. proud way        D. guilty way

3 In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ________.

    A. they say “no” at a suitable time        B. they say “no” as much as possible

    C. they are afraid of saying “no”         D. they make others angry at them

4. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she ________.

    A. enjoys a wonderful life              B. makes a lot of money

    C. faces difficulty in life                D. forgets to say “yes” in the end
