13．Surveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization，the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package （薪酬）compared（16）with/to women．Because of this，many women just hold subordinate positions（17）contentedly（content） in finance，human resources，sales，manufacturing and other supportive roles．
There are still（18）other barriers that prevent women from （19）reaching（reach） their full potentials in the world of employment．Our culture does not encourage women to excel in government（20）or in business-related jobs．Women who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely      （21）astokens（象征）．Their abilities and skills（22）are questioned （question） by their own peers，and sadly even by other women．
（23）If you are a woman who have the interest，ability and drive to pursue management careers，career counseling is of great help to give you direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goals．（24）Itwill help you have the self-confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in this society（25）where men are preferred for top level positions．
12．Long long ago，a village had a strange tradition．Each spring，when a boy reached 18，he（16）would be given （give） land and money to build a house．The boy had to complete the house before winter（17）and，if the house was damaged in winter，people would not help him and think him useless，（18）whichwas demanded by the tradition．
     One spring，Marc and Paul reached this age and got the money and land according to（19）the tradition．They both went to search for ideas to build their houses．（20）Having collected（collect） several good ideas，Marc went back and began to build（21）his house．Paul continued collecting ideas and believed thathe could find even（22）better（good） ones．
      Marc's house was completed in autumn．Though it was not perfect，it was strong，Paul，however，rushed to build a house（23）at the beginning of winter．Though it was beautiful，it was too weakto survive a storm and he froze to（24）death（die）．
     Marc's house survived．Each year，he gradually improved his house，and eventually made（25）itperfect．
11．My name is Wil Wheaton---and I am a nerd（怪人）．It's awesome to be（61）anerd．When I was a little boy，people really teased me about that and（62）made（make） me feel like there was something wrong with me for loving strange things．Now that I'm an adult，I'm a（63）professional（profession） nerd，and the world has changed．I think we（64）have realized（realize） that being a nerd is not  about what you love（65）butabout how you love．
So there's going to be a thing in your life that you love．I don't know what it's going to be．It might be sports or science or reading or（66）telling（tell） stories---it doesn't matter what it is．Some of us love Game of Thrones，while others love Star Wars．But we all love those things so much that we travel（67）thousands（thousand） of miles---which is（68）probably（probable） easy for you，but we're still using fossil fuels，so it's difficult---to be around people who love the things that we love the way that we love them．That's（69）whybeing a nerd is awesome．
I want you to work hard because everything worth（70）doing（do） is hard．I want you to be awesome，and I will do my very best to leave you a planet that you can still live on．
10．Rudolph，a violin player，was not valued too much．One day，he traveled in a boat and was（41）Din a storm．An old lighthouse（灯塔） man rescued him and led him into the lighthouse．After he had a long（42）Cwith him，Rudolph learned more about the old man．Then（43）Cin the storm and the lighthouse and the old man  lifted Rudolph（44）Bfrom his  usual everyday （45）A．He was filled with understanding and love．He was lifted to a（46）Dhe had never known or （47）A．He wanted to play music that showed the power of（48）Band stars just for the old man．And（49）Bthe storm and winds to join him，he stood and  played the Kreutzer Sonata（奏鸣曲） of Beethoven．
The moments（50）A．Moments that were days in the birth of fire and stars，moments of the （51）Dof all men，and finally moments that showed the（52）Aof all human spirit．Never（53）Ahad Rudolph played with such power．（54）C，waves and winds beat the lighthouse with giant hands．Above，the strong light（55）Cits life-saving beams across the dark and angry seas．Rudolph dropped his head to his chest，breathing（56）B．The ocean threw its water over the land with the sound of many voices．
The old man sat without moving，his wide old hand（57）Con his knees．He thought about the storm outside---music made by God．He thought of Rudolph and his music（58）Bwere part of the works of nature---both were works of（59）A．He nodded his head up and down，then turned to Rudolph．
"Yes，"he said…"That is （60）D!"

9．
Woman：Can't you do something about the service in this hotel，manager？
Man：I'm sorry madam．What's the problem （61）exactly（exact）？
Woman：My breakfast，that's the problem．
Man：Yes？
Woman：I（62）ordered（order） a breakfast from room service all at least half an hour ago．
Man：Yes？
Woman：I've telephoned room service three times，（63）butmy breakfast still hasn't come．
Man：I see．
Woman：I've got（64）animportant meeting at nine o'clock．And now（65）itseems I'll have（66）to go（go） there without breakfast．Really，I don't think this is good enough．
Man：I am very sorry about this，madam．You ordered breakfast half an hour ago and you've phoned three times since then．
Woman：That's right．
Man：I'm really sorry about that．You should have received your breakfast no later than five or ten minutes after you'd ordered it．
Woman：That's （67）whatI thought．
Man：The problem may be that they are short of people in the kitchens recently．But I'll work into this．And I'll make sure that the（68）breakfast/foodis sent to you immediately．Full
English breakfast，was it？
Woman：Yes．Full English breakfast．
Man：Very well，madam．I'll deal（69）withthis myself and I'll have it （70）sent（send） up to your room right away．
8．Count to three and rip（撕） it off as fast as you can-this is how most people remove a band-aid（创可贴）．（33）no matter how fast you do it，it's still going to be painful．That's for sure．Or is it？
A group of American scientists from Boston have just developed a band-aid that can be taken off without causing pain，reports the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．
Traditional band-aids are supposed to break apart （34）where the skin meets the glue，which is what makes taking them off so painful．But the new band-aid has an extra layer that sits （35）between the glue and the backing．When you tear off the band-aid，you remove the backing and middle layers，（36）leaving（leave） the glue behind．The glue （37）can then be simply rubbed off with one's fingers or left to fall off naturally．Importantly，this process is pain-free．
This is not the first time scientists （38）have tried（try） to solve this problem．But methods they tried in the past led to band-aids that were （39）less sticky（sticky） and therefore didn't stay on for long．
The Boston study was first aimed at helping babies （40）whose skin is too delicate for standard band-aids．But adults with sensitive skin might also enjoy the benefits．
7．Two men were walking their dogs，a Doberman and a Chihuahua．When they said to each other，"I'm （16）hungry （hunger）"，they saw a nearby bar and walked up to it．
Unfortunately，when they walk much （17）closer （close） to it，they found there was a sign on the door，（18）which said："NO DOGS"．They thought for a while，trying to figure out （19）what they should do with no luck．Suddenly，the man with the Doberman said，"I have （20）an idea!Do what I do．"
The man put on （21）his sunglasses，walked up to the door and tried to get in，（22）but a big muscular man stopped him．"Where do you think you are going？"asked the big man．"This is my eye-seeing dog，"said the man，hoping （23）for good feedback．"All right，mister，go right in，"said the big man．The Doberman man walked in．
The second man （24）slipped （slip） his sunglasses on and did the same as the first man．"Where do you think you are going？"asked the big man．"I'm going into the bar．This is my eye-seeing dog，"he said．"A Chihuahua？"，asked the big man with suspicion（怀疑）．The other man，（25）playing（play） his part，yelled，"They gave me a Chihuahua!？"．
