All the adults were scared half to __12___, but the great child wasn’t afraid at all.

The businessman could hardly believe his eyes. When the plane finally    13    its destination, he asked why she had not been afraid. The child replied, “Because my Daddy’s the pilot, and he’s flying the plane to take me home.”

       The moment we turn on our televisions we see the famous people not in movies or TV series but in advertisements of particular brands to promote them. Firms invest huge amounts in hiring the right famous people because they can help sell their products. Firms invest lots of money in associating their brands with qualities such as attractiveness and trustworthiness.

       The use of celebrity endorsements (名人代言) proved to be a popular way to recognize the differences among similar products when consumers do not tell many actual differences among the products. An example of this can be seen by examining recent ads from both Pepsi and Coca-cola. Both have seemingly run out of things to say about their products so they rely heavily on celebrity endorsements.

       Consumers use these products or purchase them because they have been endorsed by a celebrity. However, too much popularity of the celebrity sometimes makes the brand less noticeable. If a celebrity is involved in more advertisements, it tends to create confusion among the consumers and therefore it may create a negative effect on the understanding of advertisements and the brand.

Crying marriage? Surprising, isn’t it?    91    (actual), the custom of crying marriage existed a long time ago in many areas of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, and    92    (remain) in fashion    93    the end of the Qing Dynasty. Though not so popular as before, the custom is still observed by people in many places, especially Tujia people, who view it as a    94    (necessary) to marriage procedure.

It is very much    95    same in different places of the province. According to elderly people, every bride had to cry at the wedding,    96    the bride’s neighbors would look down upon    97    as a poorly cultivated girl and she would become the laughingstock of the village. In fact, there were cases    98    which the bride was beaten by her mother for not crying at the wedding ceremony.

In a word, crying at wedding is a means by custom to set off the    99    (happy) of the wedding through falsely sorrowful words. However, in the    100    (arrange) marriages of the old days of China, there were indeed quite a lot of brides who cried over their unsatisfactory marriage and even their miserable life.

以下是相关人物信息，请将相关的人物信息与他们需要的课程匹配起来。

61. Eva will become an English teacher in September this year. Before working as a teacher, she wants to get some training and learn some modern teaching methods.

62. Joe lives with his mother near Fircroft College. His mother is too poor to afford his education. So he intends to find a course which offers free accommodation, meals and tuition.

63. Linda who majors in English plans to write a thesis about Anglo-Saxon people, including their life and history. Recently she has been collecting information about them.

64. Li Lei is going to finish his senior middle school and plans to study biochemical engineering at a world-famous college. So he decides to learn more about it during the summer vacation.

65. Wang Li is a reporter. She is asked to write a passage about Asia and Middle East. Because she isn’t familiar with them at all, she has to learn about them.

Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”

Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.

Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.

When days become as identical as beads (小珠子) on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time, so to speak.

Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.

Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.

Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team’s leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.

Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.

Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.

The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviors on the leader’s part can be disastrous.

Whatever type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.

A. worry about the team members         B. ignore the team members’ voices

C. try to avoid conflict issues                D. work out their differences

Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash,  had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.

    I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.

    Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me” was all he said.

    What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

41. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ________.

A. promised to obey the store rules              

B. forgot to take any money with him

C. hoped to have the food first and pay later

D. could not afford anything more expensive

42. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A. Kind and lucky.                                      B. Poor and lonely.

C. Friendly and helpful.                                D. Hurt and disappointed.

43. The writer acted upon the store rules because ________.

A. he wanted to keep his present job            

B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman

C. he considered the old man dishonest        

D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man

44. What does the writer learn from his experience?

A. Wealth is more important than anything else.

B. Helping others is easier said than done.    

C. Experience is better gained through practice.

D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

45. How would the the old men feel at the end of the story?

A. Sad and disappointed.                             B. Happy and lucky.

C. Depressed and unlucky.                           D. Surprised and grateful.

Is there a job for you after college? What does the world of work keep in store for you? That largely    26    on who you are.

If you’ve enjoyed your studies in English and history,    27   , you’ll be glad to know that in a recent survey by Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York State, a majority of CEOs said that the liberal arts (文科) are essential for    28    critical thinking and problem-solving skills. If you thought college was for acquiring specific work skills, only 37 percent of the CEOs in the survey agree with you.

If you plan to start your career as a secretary, be aware that this job is undergoing tremendous    29   . In offices where secretaries have not already been eliminated (消除), the    30    role of a clerk is now unrecognizable. Most bosses    31    their own mails and meetings and travel plans, thanks to e-mail and the Internet, so secretaries are    32    taking on higher-level tasks such as drafting contracts and handling customer service problems. Those willing to expand their    33    should do well.

If you are a woman interested in law enforcement (执法), note that some states and cities are working hard to reach    34    standards for female applicants. Although most small suburban police departments are deeply traditional, and some are

   35    even to employ woman, among the nation’s largest forces about 15 percent of the officers are female, five times as many as a generation ago.

Degrees in sports management are also    36   . Two hundred U.S. colleges and universities, 10 times as many in 1985, now    37    undergraduate courses in sports management, and some have advanced degree programs. At some schools you can also combine an MBA in sports management with a law degree.

   38   , if you’ve set your sights on a traditional MBA, take heart. MBA recruitment (招聘) is way up, and salaries are    39   . But money isn’t all today’s MBAs are looking for. A recent study of nearly 1,800 MBA students in the United States and Canada found that 68 percent    40    the statement, “My family will always be more important than my career.”
