5.Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits (利润)of over $2 million per year.He's never late to work.He does not get upset on the job.When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her,Travis took her away."Your working uniform is your shelter,"he told her."Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you.You will always be as strong as you want to be."
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses,an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation.The training has,Travis says,changed his life.G&G has taught him how to live,how to focus,how to get to work on time,and how to master his emotions (情绪).Most importantly,it taught him willpower.
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower.Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.
     And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit."Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard-but that's because they've made it automatic,"Angela Duckworth,one of the University of Pennsylvania
researchers said."Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."
    The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train
employees on self-control.Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers'lives.Those courses arc,in part,why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more  than  10 billion a year.

33.We loam from Paragraph 2that employees in G&G mustB.
A.learn to give lectures
B.attend education programs
C.design a working uniform
D.develop a common hobby
34.Willpower will become a habit when employees canD.
A.focus on the profits
B.benefit from the job
C.protect themselves well
D.control their feeling well
35.What can we infer from the passage?C
A.G&G has grown into a large company.
B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C.G&G may become more successful in the future.
D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.

分析 本文通过G&G公司的培训课程告诉我们:人的意志力是我们能否取得成功的关键.公司的成功秘诀就是让员工参加一个教育课程,从而获得自控力,使意志力成为习惯,加强意志力最好的方法就是让意志力成为一种习惯.

解答 33.B 细节理解题.根据第二段的"Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses,an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation."可知,G&G的培训课程在新员工入职第一天就开始,而且贯穿于员工的工作之中.也就是说G&G的员工都得参加这样的培训课程.故选B.
34.D 细节理解题.根据第三段的"And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit."Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard-but that's because they've made it automatic"可知,加强意志力最好的方法就是让意志力成为一种习惯.有自控力的人好像不要很努力就可以获得意志力,因为它们已经是自动的了.也就是说当员工能够很好地控制自己的感情时,就会让意志力成为习惯.故选D.
35.C 推理判断题.根据最后一段的"The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control."和 最后一句"Those courses are,in part,why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year."可知,这家公司在培训员工自控力方面花了很多钱,而且也让公司发展得很好,正是因为在员工培训方面的投入很大,所以他们可能在未来会取得更大的成功.故选C.

6.PALO AITO,California-"Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter--even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,"US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth grades students,generally aged eight and nine,found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.91kg ) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,"said Thomas Robinson,a pediatrician (儿科专家)at Stanford University.
"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos,and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,"Robinson said.
In the study,presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies'annual meeting in San Francisco,the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing,even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories,"Robinson said.
"Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television.Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,"Robinson added.

10.Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy,but this one is el.ean and cool.Fox Point is a very new47-unit living building in South Bronx,one of the city's poorest areas.Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people,whose rent is paid by the government.The rest are low-income families.The boiler room has special equipment,which produces energy for electricity and heat.It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air,reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs.
    Fox Point is operated by Palladia,a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy,people.Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP),which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers.
   ECP has created national standards for healthy,environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called,the Green Communities Standards.These standards include water keeping,energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials.Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%,which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs.Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.
   Michael.Bloomberg,New York's mayor,plans to create 165,000affordable housing units for500,000New Yorkers.Almost 80% of New York City's greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings,and 40% of those are caused,by housing.So he recently announced that the city's Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD),whose duty is to develop and keep the city's supply of affordable housing,will require all its new projects to follow ECP's green standards.
Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver,but New York's DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.

45.What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?C
A.To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.
B.To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.
C.To show how the environment-friendly building works.
D.To compare old and new boiler rooms.
46.What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards?A
A.Lower running costs.
B.Costing less in construction.
C.Less air to be lost in hot days.
D.Better prices for homeless people.
47.It can be learned from the text that,B
A.New York City is seriously polluted
B.people's daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York City
C.a great number of people in New York City don't have houses to live in
D.some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City
48.What is the main purpose of this text?D
A.To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.
B.To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.
C.To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families.
D.To introduce healthy,environmentally clever-and affordable housing.
17.Many people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this,or because they are not willing to do the work,that most people do not listen well.
  Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'.Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside,stepping into his or her shoes.Moreover,since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
  Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well,what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder,as we listen,how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far
more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
  It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them,I believe,was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever.

66.The phrase"stepping into his or her shoes"in paragraph 2probably meansD.
A.preparing a topic list firstB.focusing on one's own mind
C.directing the talk to the desired resultsD.experiencing the speaker's inside world
67.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A.
A.How to listen well.B.What to listen to.
C.Benefits of listening.D.Problems in listening
68.According to the author,in communication people tend toB.
A.listen activelyB.listen purposefully
C.set aside their prejudicesD.open up their inner mind
69.According to the author,the patients improved mainly becauseB.
A.they were taken good care of.B.they knew they were truly listened to.
C.they had partners to talk to.D.they knew the roots of problems.
70.What type of writing the article likely to be?D.
A.Science fictionB.A news report.C.A medical report.D.Popular science.
