18．These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before．They-were brave，hostile（怀敌意的）and（1）     they would not take orders，and shouted
"Amandla！"at every opportunity．Their instinct was to confront（对抗）rather than cooperate．
The authorities②did not know how to handle them，and they turned the island upside down．
During the Rivonia Trial，I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself，the freedom fighters who would take our place③would some-day make the
authorities miss us．That day had indeed come on Robben Island．
In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times．I had had some
warning．On a visit with Winnie a few months before，she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths④who were violent and Africanist in beliefs．She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them．
The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island，and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way．We told them
that they should have seen the island in 1964．But hey were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities．They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive（不果断）．
It was obvious that they regarded us，the Rivonia Trialists⑤，as moderates⑥（温和派）．
After so many years of being branded a radical（激进的）revolutionary，to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling．I knew that I could react in one of two ways：I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying．I chose the latter．
'4hen some of these men，such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students'
Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention，came into our section，I
（2）     
Shortly after their arrival on the island，the commanding officer came and asked me as a
favour to address the young men．He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves，to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life．I told him that I was not prepared to do that．Under the circumstances，they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities．

6．The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women in America，or probably in the world．
During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties？And would be likely to have seven or eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old．By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which custom，opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work．Today women marry younger and have fewer children．Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty．Even while she has the care of children，her work is lightened by modern living conditions．
This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position．Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity，and most of them took a full-time job．However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it．Today the school leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women tend to marry younger，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work．
Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money，and running the home，according to the abilities and interests of each of them．

3．We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy．The story goes like this：the more consumers spend，the more money circulates in the economy，which contributes to healthy job growth and profits．Keynes，a British economist，went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy．Sounds troubling，doesn't it？
Fear not．You aren't actually hutting anyone else by saving money．Strong economic growth only comes from one place：savings．Not consumption．In fact，economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth．For example，somebody takes their money，walks into a store，and purchases goods．The store increases its revenue．
But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money？Simple：Other people are allowed to consume them．Think of it this way：When you lend out your savings，you are actually saying，"Here，I am not going to consume right now，so why don't you？"Banks simply play the middleman：they collect lots of people's savings and then lend out lots of funds．
It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building．It takes food，shelter，and entertainment for all of the workers，as well．Without savings，it is quite impossible to finance such a construction．The coordination（协调）between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth．This coordination is also why consumer lending （say，to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car） is not productive，in a strict sense．It doesn't increase the net （净的） amount of wealth of an economy．Those savings could have been used to construct，say，factory equipment．
None of this means consumption and spending are"bad"things．They simply do not make us wealthier．Alter all，the final goal of production and savings is to consume．But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse．Or，to rephrase：the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier．Happier，perhaps．Wealthier，no．

10．Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize，and the first person to win it twice．However，few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner．
Born in September，1897，Irene Curie was the first of the Curies'two daughters．Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars，Irene studied in their own school，and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high school education at the College of Sevigne in Paris．
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began，Irene went to help her mother，who was using X-ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognized in the form of a Military Medal by the French government．
In 1918，Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924，Frederic Joliot joined the Institute，and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927and their son Pierre five years later．
Like her mother，Irene combined family and career．Like her mother，Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize，along with her husband，in 1935．Unfortunately，also like her mother，she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）．Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17，1956．

71．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal？B
A．Because she received a degree in mathematics．
B．Because she contributed to saving the wounded．
C．Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic．
D．Because she worked as a helper to her mother．
72．Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot？A
A．At the Curie Institute．  B．At the University of Paris．
C．At a military hospital．  D．At the College of Sevigne．
73．When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born？A

7．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
    That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization does not pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but the impact of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts（文科） graduate．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree．"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior and a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．
67．The job market is in great need of people withC．
A．special training in special fields
B．a bachelor's degree in education
C．formal schooling and work experience
D．an MBA degree from top universities
68．The underlined sentence in Paragrph 2 meansA．
A．an MBA degree does not help in future promotion
B．MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C．people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D．most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation

A．they will follow others'ways of solving problems
B．they can do better in bundling changing situations
C．they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields
D．they have attended special programs in management
70．The author supports the idea thatD．
A．on-the-job training is less costly in the long run
B．formal schooling is less important than job training
C．specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists
D．generalists will do better than specialists in management．
8．Arriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband，Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children．
During the first week of his stay，he went out one day to do some shopping．He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone．He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport．
He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city，thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one．
Late in the evening，the phone rang．It was a stranger．He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions．Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶） that had been left out on the footpath．
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents．Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers．Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents．At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend．
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people．We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way．
