2．I'm not so sure I like my friends any more．I used to like them-to be honest．We'd have lunch，talk on the phone or exchange e-mails，and they all seemed normal enough．But then came Facebook，and I was introduced to a sad fact：many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me．
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook．No longer hidden，they're thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities．
Take Fred．If you were to have lunch with him，you'd find him warm，and down-to-earth．Read his Facebook and you realize he's an unbearable，food-obsessed bore．He would pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it．
Take Andy．You won't find a smarter CEO anywhere，but now he's a CEO without a company to lull．So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook．He's doing well-level 731．Thanks to Facebook，I know he's playing about 18hours a day．Andy，you've run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime？What happened to golf？What happened to getting another job？
Take Liz．She is positive that the H1N1vaccine（疫苗）will kill us all and that we should avoid it．And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20times a day on every website he can find，so I get to read his thoughts twice，once on Faeebook and once on Twitter．
In real life，I don't see these sides of people．Face to face．my friends show me their best．They're nice，smart people．But face to Facebook，my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong．
I'm left with a dilemma．Who is my real friend？Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic（狂人）on Facebook？Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he's at a party and the wine isn't up to his standards？

1．Once again，I was in a new school．So was a girl in my class named Paris．That's where the similarities ended．
I was tall and she was small．My thick，black hair had been recently cut short．Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great．I was awkward and shy．She wasn't．I couldn't stand her．I considered her my enemy．She liked me．She wanted to be friends．
One day，she invited me over and I said yes-I was too shocked to answer any other way．No one had invited me over to play．But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school．
I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building．She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother，her stepfather，her two brothers and her sister．
When we got to the room she shared with her sister，she took out a big case of Barbies-which was my next surprise．I would have thought she'd outgrown them．I had never played with them．But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet，laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies．That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations．
We had a great day that afternoon．Our jaws ached from smiling so much．She showed me her wardrobe，which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block．The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange．
Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed．The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines，the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices．Soon I was included in her magic world．We slept over at each other's houses，spent every free moment together．My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall．
Paris，my first real friend since childhood，taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends：that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend．

20．YANG YUANQING，Lenovo's boss，hardly spoke a word of English until he was about 40：he grew up in rural poverty and read engineering at university．But when Lenovo bought IBM's personal-computer division in 2005he decided to immerse himself in English：he moved his family to North Carolina，hired a language tutor and--the ultimate sacrifice--spent hours watching cable-TV news．
Lenovo is one of a growing number of multinationals from the non-Anglophone world that have made English their official language．The fashion began in places with small populations but global ambitions such as Singapore and Switzerland．
Corporate English is now invading more difficult territory，such as Japan．Rakuten，a cross between Amazon and eBay，and Fast Retailing，which operates the Uniqlo fashion chain，were among the first to switch．Now they are being joined by old-economy companies such as Honda，a carmaker，and Bridgestone，a tyremaker．Chinese firms are proving harder to handle/crack：they have a huge internal market and are struggling to enroll/recruit competent managers of any description，let alone English-speakers．But some are following Lenovo's lead．Huawei has introduced English as a second language and encourages high-flyers（ambitious employees） to become fluent．
There are some obvious reasons why multinational companies want a lingua franca（共同语）．Adopting English makes it easier to recruit global stars （including board members），reach global markets and assemble global production teams．Such steps are especially important to companies in Japan，where the population is shrinking．
Tsedal Neeley of Harvard Business School says that"Englishnisation"can stir up a hornet's nest of emotions．Ms．Neeley argues that companies must think carefully about implementing a policy that touches on so many emotions．Senior managers should explain to employees why switching to English is so important，provide them with classes and conversation groups，and offer them incentives（刺激） to improve their fluency，such as foreign postings．Those who are already proficient in English should speak more slowly and try not to dominate conversations．And managers must act as referees and enforcers，resolving conflicts and discouraging staff from returning to their native tongues．
Intergovernmental bodies like the European Union are obliged to pretend that there is no predominant global tongue．But businesses worldwide are facing up to the reality that English is the language on which the sun never sets．

74．Lenovo's boss made all the efforts to familiarize himself with English exceptC．
A．hiring a language tutor
B．resettling in an English-speaking environment
C．expanding the business overseas
D．exposing himself to English Cable-TV news．
75．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Most Chinese firms would like to introduce corporate English．
B．Chinese firms are in great need of English majors as their managers．
C．Huawei followed Lenovo as the second largest multinational in China．
D．Adopting corporate English is more difficult in places with a large population．
76．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．The decrease in population pushes the Japanese to learn English well．
B．Neither the governmental bodies nor businesses will regard English as a global tongue．
C．Companies should handle employees'emotions carefully during the switch．
D．Those good at English should be encouraged to speak more in the company．
77．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A
A．English-Global Tongue in Business．
B．English-Chinese Business Leaders'New Fashion．
C．English-The Best Tool in Communication．
D．English-Dominating Factor of Successful Business．

19．Mrs．Squirrel and I Negotiated Terms
I was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise．To defend my home from break-in，I picked up my defense weapon---a broom and went out．There on the roof of my porch（门廊），I saw a grey fluffy squirrel．I drove her away with the broom，but the next day I heard her again．
I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing，they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth．This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people．
On Monday morning two men showed up，with guns in their hands．I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof．They held up their guns．Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside．I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn't harm her．They hesitated，but finally put down their guns．Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrel's home．They told me she would not like the smell and would leave．
There was no sign of Mrs．Squirrel，so they blocked the hole，took my cheque for﹩250and left．
Shortly after they left，Mrs．Squirrel returned from her shopping trip．She was mad at being
driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof．In order to stop the destruction of my
home，I drove her away with the broom again．
Each day thereafter，Mrs．Squirrel continued her attack on my possession．I then called the company to report that"SHE'S BAAAAAACK…"The receptionist said that if Mrs．Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof，it would be a new charge．I replied I couldn't continue contributing my husband's hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up．
I went to the porch and banged on the roof．Mrs．Squirrel came out and glared at me．We negotiated some terms，came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes．
All is quiet these days，although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared．I still hope that Mrs．Squirrel would leave，but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones．

18．As the new semester begins，millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or，more likely，how best to delay that paper．
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it．They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space，eating snacks，surfing the Internet，watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them，who，most likely，are doing nothing either．
Paralyzed （使失去活力） by their habit to procrastinate，they write micro blogs about their fears，asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue．But this does nothing to break the spell （魔咒）．
According to a recent report，95percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20percent of the world's population are always procrastinating．The figures are disappointing．Procrastinators are less wealthy，less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay．Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior，but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong．
Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure．Pelling says this is nonsense，as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time．The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed，inconveniences others and annoys loved ones．
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent （过失的）in a society that thinks of speedy action as admirable，and，at times，even as a moral good．
Fortunately，social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it．Piers Steel，a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation，believes human is"designed"to procrastinate．Nevertheless，he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand．
