If you put a buzzard(秃鹰) in a pen(围栏) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be a prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small prison with no top.

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight height from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

A bumblebee (大黄蜂), if dropped into an open tumbler(平底玻璃杯), will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but insists on trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists until it completely destroys itself.

In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.

1.Why does a buzzard choose to stay in a pen?

A. Because it is safe to live there.

B. Because it gets used to living there.

C. Because it cannot take off within an limited area.

D. Because it lost its ability to fly.

2. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ .”

A. to run slowly B. to move slowly

C. to pace slowly D. to fly slowly

3.A bumblebee will completely destroy itself for .

A. it does not look for a way out above

B. it is dropped into an open cage

C. it does not try to find a way to escape

D. it hurts itself while flying

4. In which way are many people similar to a buzzard, an ordinary bat and a bumblebee?

A. They are overcoming all their problems and frustrations.

B. They are all content with the things as they are.

C. They choose to give in to problems and frustrations.

D. They do not seek new ways to deal with difficulties.

The passages below discuss the retirement age.

Passage 1:

In the United States,the financial crisis has left the country with 11 million fewer jobs than Americans need now.No matter how tough the policy ,we are not going to find 11 million new jobs soon.So common sense suggests we should make some decisions about who should come first:older people,who have already worked three or four decades at hard jobs? Or younger people,many just out of school,with fresh skills and ambitions?

The answer is obvious.Older people who would like to retire and would do so if they could afford it should get some help.The right step is to reduce,not increase,the retirement age.As a rough cut,why not make it a law to set a three—year window during which the age for receiving full Social Security benefits would drop to 62——providing a voluntary ,one—time,grab-it-now bonus for leaving work? Let them go home! With a secure pension(退休金)and medical care,they will be happier.Young people who need work will be happier.And there will also be more jobs.With pension security, older people will consume services until the end of their lives.They will become.each and every one,an employer.

Passage 2:

Too many people see longer working lives as a worry rather than an opportunity—and not just because they are going to be chained to their desks.Some worry that there will not be enough jobs to go around.This misunderstanding,known to economists as the“lump of labour fallacy(劳动总量固定的谬论)”,was once used to argue that women should stay at home and leave all the jobs for breadwinning males.Now lump-of-labourites say that keeping the old at work would deprive(剥夺)the young of employment.The idea that society can become

better-off by paying more of its citizens to be idle(无所事事的)is clearly ridiculous.On that reasoning,if the retirement age came down to 25 we would all be as rich as Bill Gates.

1.In Passage 1,one reason for suggesting earlier retirement in the US is the_______

A.tough policy B.stable pension

C.high unemployment D.free medical care

2.In Passage I,the writer suggests encouraging older people to retire earlier by____________.

A.cutting their pension if they remain at work

B.giving them an extra sum o f money on retiring

C.convincing them that young people need work

D.offering them a bonus each year for three years

3.Lump-of-laborites believe that____________.

A.young citizens should be better paid

B.the old should leave jobs for the young

C.males should earn bread for the family

D.earlier retirement will lead to a poorer society

4.What is the author’s attitude towards earlier retirement in Passage 2?

A.Negative. B.Positive.

C.Unconcerned. D.Tolerant.
