8．Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate．And the sad truth is that"clothing mismatches"on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire（着装）-and the people with whom he or she comes in contact．
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes．Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire，while others maintain a more relaxed attitude．However，it is always important to remember that no matter what your company's attitude is regarding what you wear，you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly．Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting，just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment．Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position．A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant．Like it or not，you will be judged by your personal appearance．
This is never more apparent than on"dress-down days"，when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could．In fact，people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on"business professional"days．Thus，when dressing in"business casual"clothes，try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices，recognize that the"real"definition of business casual is to dress just one notch（等级） down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days．
Remember，there are borders between your career and our social life．You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business．Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there．Is the final destination the opera，the beach，or the office？Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man-and the woman．When in doubt，always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands．

72．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．How to dress properly in a business setting．
B．A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant．
C．The differences between professional and casual dress．
D．Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable．
73．Which of the following statements is true？C
A．Every company has strict rules regarding office dress．
B．You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn't have high standards for dressing．
C．You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules．
D．In companies with relaxed rules on office dress，you can't spot a manager among others．
74．Which statement best describes"dress-down days"？D
A．On dress-down days，you can wear whatever you like．
B．People's clothes on dress-down days don't receive much attention．
C．We can't judge a person's taste by his clothes on dress-down days．
D．People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions．
75．Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage with regard to business dress？A
A．Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress．
B．Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner．
C．For a business meeting and a concert，you should dress differently．
D．Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion．

20．Terrafugia is the most known flying car that has awaited the world for its creation and user ability（可用性）．Passing on the new concept and making it possible made a lot of difficulties for the company．Its unique creation with the concept of its acceptable behaviour on road was a big challenge to meet．Even after the successful prototype（原型）production of the transition car，it was wondered whether it would be allowed on the local roads or not．
Facing the big challenge，Terrafugia made efforts to pass its newly born plan on the roads from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration （NHTSA） and Federal Administration Aviation （FAA）．Keeping the safety of road and other users as primary concern，the authorities allowed the Terrafugia to land their creations on road．Still after the approval the compamy had to face various challenges to make this idea come true in real sense．
A major issue was the use of lighter plastic windscreens，as in normal cars the windscreens are of glass whereas in planes light weight polycarbonate（聚碳酸酯）wind shields are used to make the plane light in weight and give it a bird like effect to fly or glide．More over the transition tyres are used to handle the impacts of landing，so there needed to be a special allowance since there came a conflict between the tyres used for the plane and those for the conventional vehicles on the road．So the FAA allowed the company with a permission of 110pounds loading on the road．
The company seems to face a huge challenge in covering all aspects and making it a safe and comfortable ride with the minimum cost to the comsumers．Taking in account all there aspects，Terrafugia has delayed its final production and delivery to the customers till this year．
So if you are waiting for it to come out to the market and have a chance to check how you actually feel like sitting in it，you will have to wait a couple of more months!

C．Terrafugia is to replace the conventional cars and planes．
D．These new flying cars now haven't been put on the market．
19．When I left for the United States to study，I had butterflies in my stomach．I was nervous because I was going to （61）a new place with new people and new customs．I couldn't even understand （62）their （they） language．Everything was different （63）from my own country．There was nobody that I could talk to．I just had my husband，（64）who was a new person for me，too．
It was a sad moment when I had to say goodbye to my family and friends．I didn't want （65）to leave （leave） my hometown because I grew up there and had wonderful （66）memories

16．Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge？A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is"yes"．
In The Better Angels of Our Nature，Pinker presents data showing that human violence，while still very much with us today，has been gradually declining．Moreover，he says，"over the long sweep of history，women have been and will be a peaceful force．Traditional war is a man's game：tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages．"As mothers，women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children．
Skeptics（怀疑者）immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power．If they were empowered as leaders．the disorder of the world would force them to make the same waxlike decisions that men do．Margaret Thatcher，Golda Meir，and Indira Gandhi were powerful women；all of them led their countries to war．
But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of"a man's world．"It was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place．In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions，they might behave differently in power．
So we are left with the broader question：does gender（性别）really matter in leadership？In terms of traditional opinion，various psychologieM studies show that men tend towards the hard power ofcommand，while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion．
The key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender，but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies．Both men and women will make those decisions．
61．Which of the following does Pinker agree？B
A．Human violenee has been increasing．
B．Men play a vital role in traditional war．
C．Women have not made war due to their powerlessness．
D．Women prefer to take care of their babies at home．
62．The author mentions Margaret Thatcher，Golda Meir，and Indira Gandhi to sayD．
A．they were all women
B．they also acted as leaders
C．they were all heroes
D．they also made war
63．How did these women rise to leadership？B
A．By entering a famous university．
B．By following values similar to men's．
C．By showing their good character．
D．By playing political games．
64．In terms of traditional opinion，C．
A．men prefer cooperation
B．men are wiser than women
C．women know well about soft power
D．women are excellent leaders
65．What does the writer intend to tell us？A
A．War and peace depend on wise policies made by men or women．
B．We had better choose women as our leaders if we want peace．
C．Women are more likely to nlake smart policies than men．
D．Men tend to lead their countries to war．
3．Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air，but their luggage doesn't always come home with them．Airline identification tags（标签） can come loose，and the bags go who-knows-where．And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes．
The airlines collect the items and，for 90 days，attempt to find their owners．They don't keep them，since they're not in the warehouse business．And by law，they cannot sell the bags，because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage．
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents，and they no longer belong to passengers，a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro，Alabama，buys them．The"Unclaimed Baggage Center，"is so popular that the building，which is set up like a department store，is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama．More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store's shopping carts on a hunt for treasures．
Each day，clerks bring out 7，000 new items，and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them．You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks，best-selling novels，leather jackets，tape recorders，surfboards，even half-used tubes of toothpaste．
The store's own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage，then sells them．The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns，illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake．
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（获得物） have been preserved．They include highland bagpipes，a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb，and a medieval suit of armor．
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U．S．carriers is permanently lost and available to the store．

13．She tells us she understands teens．She's with them at home and she's with them at school．
She plays the piano and the flute （笛子）．"Growing up I was always involved with music．My parents had divorced and I was under a lot of stress，and being around music，I felt peace and happiness．Later I came to realize that，as a music teacher，I could give that gift to kids．"
And she's an author．She wrote The Unexpected Adventure at East Haddam two years ago when Evens had a brother and a sister in her Chorus class who struggled with her relationship．Each one-mostly the sister-complained about the other to her．"And I hope the book will show them the importance of their education．It's so hard for teens to understand the value of what they study in school．"
She's keenly aware of the challenges today's youth face．"As a society，we've lowered our standards in many cases．As a kid I watched Happy Day and The Bill Cosby Show，and my parents never had to worry about what would come out of the characters'mouths．Today there is no show on after 8p．m．that's suitable for younger people．It's hard for kids today because they're not allowed the innocence we had．"
She's busy at work on her next book．Evens says writing these books has filled a place inside her that she never thought about，but that needed to be filled．"I enjoy the process so much．I feel challenged．And I am able to purge（净化） some thoughts that I would like to share，especially with kids．"
"The most important thing for kids today to remember is that every person is valuable and important，and they have to respect their bodies and themselves，and behave i
n a way that shows that．"

65．Evens was fond of music as a child becauseA．
A．she could find comfort with music at home
B．her gift for music was passed down from her parents
C．her parents gave her a lot of pressure to learn music
D．music could bring peace between fighting parents
66．We can infer from Paragraph 4thatC．
A．today the family seldom watches shows together
B．the standard to choose characters in shows is raised
C．the show after 8p．m．have a bad influence on teens

C．Teens respect others by behaving themselves well．
D．Education is of great value to teens today．

20．In the next five years，STEM （science，technology，engineering and mathematics） jobs are projected to grow twice as quickly as jobs in all other fields according to the U．S．Bureau of Statistics．While all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4percent，STEM jobs are expected to increase by 21.4percent．
By this measure，future STEM jobs represent a huge opportunity to today's students．But，in fact，of the 3.8million ninth graders in the U．S．，only 233，000end up choosing a STEM degree in college，according to the National Center for Education Statistics．This means only 6percent of ninth graders will become STEM graduates．And of these graduates，women will be even more underrepresented in most STEM fields．
These are alarming statistics．How do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in STEM-related fields？It isn't an easy task．Schools do not always adequately prepare students for these severe subjects，and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are less persistent．Nationally，only 41 percent of initial STEM majors who begin a degree in STEM-related fields complete their degree in less than six years．
In addition，social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the STEM fields．A couple of years ago，I met amazing parents，both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps．They encouraged her to take an after-school science/robotics program．When she got there，she found she was outnumbered 6：1by boys in the class．As the only girl，she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not welcome in the boys'club．Ironically，by the time young boys are entering college programs in STEM fields，many complain about the lack of girls．
Starting at an early age，even as young as kindergarten，we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science，computing，math and technology．We also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field，they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them：parents，teachers，friends and family members．

56．The STEM statistics are used in the passage mainly to show thatD．
A．STEM jobs will be easily available in the future
B．boys have more advantages over girls in STEM
C．the number of STEM students is rapidly declining

B．there is widespread prejudice against girls
C．most girls are bad at the required subjects  
D．most girls take little interest in STEM jobs
59．In the writer's opinion，what should we do now？C
A．Show the students the advantages of STEM jobs．
B．Provide college graduates with more STEM jobs．
C．Encourage more young children to take up STEM．
D．Make people aware of the importance of STEM．
17．When it comes to President Obama，most of his personal business is already known by the public．Personal information about his children，Malia and Sasha，however，has been kept a little more under wraps．
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House，as well as in general．See how the first family educates their children：
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips，even if it's not required by their school．
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends，and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week．
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports：one they choose and one selected by their mother．
Malia must learn to do laundry（洗衣服） before she leaves for college．
The girls have to eat their vegetables，and if they say they are not hungry，they cannot ask for cookies or chips later．
While these might be shocking to some，Michelle said，"They're not little princess．It's just basic rules，boundaries，and expectations that we would have normally．"
Michelle also mentions another set of rules：
The girls must do their chores（家务），though the White House has a large staff．Malia and Sasha have chores of their own．
They must play a team sport，because it's about learning how to play on a team，how to lose and how to win gracefully．
…
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible．What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules？
