As more women in the United States move up the professional(职业) ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone.
If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and tell them that you will be eating alone. Finally, and most importantly, prepare your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep required papers separate.
Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

B
I had an experiece some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died“full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me,“If only I sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today It’s my fault that she died.”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said,“If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course ___keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation____ would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
59. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?
A. They lived out a natural life.
B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.
C. They weren’t used to the change in weather.
D. They died due to lack of care by family members.
60. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because____.
A. he wanted to comfort the two families
B. he was an official from the community
C. he had great pity for the deceased D. he was minister of the local church
61. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because ____.
A. they couldn’t a better way to express their sorrow.
B. they believed that they were responsible
C. they had neglected the natural course of events
D. they didn’t know things often turn in the opposite direction
62. According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that _____
A. everything in the world is predetermined
B. the world can be interpreted in different ways
C. there’s an explanation for everything in the world
D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
63. What’s the idea of the message?
A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery
B. Every story should have a happy ending
C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault
D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed
away

The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long-distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in London. I would like to describe how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. The reason why the number of seats is now 19 is that the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.
Originally, they changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took out ten seats from the buses. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they went on long-distance trips, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the owners of the bus companies wanted to make more money, so they tried to meet the passengers’ needs. They changed the airplane seats to sofas, so the number of seats is now 19.
As the new buses appear, the prices go up, too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels.
Also, you can change the direction and the height of the sofa to make yourself more comfortable, and there is a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies show movies on the buses. In addition, when you go on a long-distance trip, they have luxurious(豪华的) buses that have an LCD screen on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus. They also have different TV channels, movie channels, and seventy TV games for killing time while you are on the bus.
1. How many airplane seats did they put in a bus originally?
A. 10 seats. B. 19 seats. C. 34 seats. D. 44 seats. www.k@s@5@u.com 高#考#资#源#网

Detroit（底特律）might have a hard time hearing any more bad news after the week it just had. Toyota will soon be the world’s No. 1 automaker, while the Big Three-nowadays known as the "Detroit Three," posted $7. 4 billion combined loss for the three months ended Sept. 30. Even Detroit’s best performer, General Motors, couldn’t win over Wall Street by cutting its losses to only $115 million, which is an improvement over last year’s third-quarter loss of $1. 7 billion. The problem: despite all the factory closings and job cuts, GM, Ford and Chrysler are still losing money on every car and truck they sell in America.
What’s the matter with Motown? It all comes down to the models it sells. Car buyers simply don’t find them as appealing as foreign wheels, which explains why Japanese models fetch an average price of $24,289, while American cars go for just $21,597, according to a new study by car consultant Harbour Felax. Increasingly, car buyers see Detroit’s products as too big, too gas-thirsty or too bland.
In other words, fixing Detroit’s product problems requires a serious check. For now, Detroit has only a quarter of the fast-growing small-car market, while nearly two thirds of its models are slow-selling ones, SUVs and minivans. "No automaker can suddenly make a transfer and double its number of small cars," says GM car president Bob Lutz. But sellers want Detroit to move faster. The Japanese make over their new models every five years, while American automakers take seven or eight. Detroit has been slow to vary because it became addicted to the big profits it once made off SUVs. Only now are they making fuel-efficient cars like the Ford Edge and GMC Acadia, while the Japanese have an eight-year lead in that hot market.
“Detroit needs a complete reinvention（change）of how they do business,” says Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation, America’s top car dealer. That reinvention will require Detroit to rethink how it conceives, designs and executes cars. Like the Japanese, Detroit needs to engineer multiple models. They need to simplify how they engineer them, so that they are easier to build, have better quality and make more money.
56. Which of the following is not among the Detriot Three members?
A. Chrysler B. General Motors C. Ford D. Toyota
57. Despite closing some factories and cutting jobs, the Detroit Three ______.
A. will make profits this year B. have stopped the loss
C. are still losing money D. get a large improvement over last year’s loss
58. From the passage, we know that American automakers ______.
A. have made a sudden transfer to make small cars
B. have made big profits off SUVs
C. have been making hot styles for years
D. take up most of the fast-growing small-car market
59. According to the passage, which statement about Detriot’s cars is NOT true?
A. They are cheaper than Japanese ones now on average.
B. They are too big, or too bland.
C. They are as appealing as foreign wheels.
D. They need more fuel than foreign cars.
60. Which of the following is not included in the reinvention activities?
A. Rethinking how to conceive, design, and execute cars.
B. Engineering multiple models.
C. Simplifying the products.
D. Building complicated and expensive models.

Is there a nationwide shortage of nurses? It’s hard to say．However, some characteristic symptoms often indicate that there is indeed a shortage．
One symptom is the vacancy rate, or the percentage of budgeted positions that are unfilled．New England’s hospitals currently report that an average of 7 to 12 percent of their registered nurse positions are vacant, the highest level since the last shortage in the late 1980s．Vermont has a relatively low vacancy rate, at 7．8 percent．But its vacancies were at 1．2 percent just five years ago．
Another symptom is the increased use of stopgap measures to fill empty positions．For instance, many nurses report an upswing in how frequently they are asked to stay past their shifts．According to Murphy, working in the St．Elizabeth’s Hospital, “The shortage has definitely created a lot of opportunities of overtime for our nurses, whether they want them or not．” Similarly, a national survey of registered nurses shows that in an average week, nurses in the U．S．work 2．4 more hours than they are scheduled to．Much of this extra time is voluntary, as nurses earn overtime pay when they stay to fill in blanks in the schedule．
When they can’t fill open positions by more traditional means, health care providers hire temporary staff to tide them over．Travelling workers are the largest part of the temporary health care workforce, hired for thirteen-week reduction at health care facilities facing short-term lack of workers．Temporary workers, mainly nurses, cost hospitals $ 7．2 billion in 2000．
“Any successful solution to the shortage depends on convincing more people to become nurses, and that is not an easy goal to reach．To achieve it,” says Buerhaus, “society needs to place more value on nursing．Legislation （法规） can’t do that – it should come from people．” And if this continues, we might have to learn to care for ourselves in the hospital．
50．The temporary staff hired by a hospital _______．
A．cost a large part of the hospital’s budget
B．meet the need for nurses in the hospital for a short time
C．should work on a weekly basis and on a scheduled timetable
D．ought to work passively for thirty continuous weeks
51．According to Buerhaus, what is a successful solution to the nurse shortage?
A．To convince people of the benefits of being a nurse．
B．To ask the government for help to work out specific legislation．
C．To publicize the past achievements of nurses．
D．To make people aware of the importance of being a nurse．
52．What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “upswing” in Paragraph 3?
A．Symptom B．Decrease C．Increase D．Figure
53．What’s the author’s attitude towards nurse shortage?
A．Worried B．Indifferent C．Doubtful D．Optimistic
