Letter One

                                                                                      21 July, 2008

Dear Sirs,

Our foreman, Mr. Li Ming, had an accident on July 6, 2008. He crushed his forefinger when operating a machine. At that time, we didn’t think the accident was serious enough to report, but Mr. Li has returned to his work after an absence of two weeks and is still unable to carry on his normal duties. We therefore wish to make a claim (索赔) under the above policy (保险单) and shall appreciate your sending us the necessary claim form.

                                                                             Yours faithfully,

                                                                           (Signature)

Letter Two

27 July, 2008

Dear Sirs,

     We have received your letter of July 21 and noted that you made a claim for the accident of Mr. Li Ming. We would, however, remind you of the terms of the policy that this claim should have been submitted within three days after the accident. More than two weeks have now passed. Consequently, your claim to compensation（赔偿）under the policy has been forfeited (放弃、没收).

Nevertheless, as an exceptional measure, we have decided to overlook its late submission, though we are bound to say that it should have been clear from Mr. Li’s absence from work that this accident was more serious than you had supposed and that there seems to be no good reason why this claim should not have been made earlier.

We are enclosing (附上) a claim form as requested, but must emphasize that future claims cannot be entertained if you cannot comply with the terms of the policy.

                                                                                 Yours faithfully,

                                                                            (Signature)

By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.

Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.

No doubt some temperaments take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation（严格控制）of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite programme of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have been used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The “tough-minded” school of workers is usually very contemptuous （蔑视的） of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration.

Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands.

76. The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is that of _____.

A. the failure to keep to a routine of intensive work

B. changing from one subject to another

C. willingness to follow a systematic plan

D. applying oneself to a subject only when one feels inclined

77. Those workers with strict views on work _____.

A. are very critical of the belief that good work can be a natural product of instinct

B. reject the idea that good work is second nature to man

C. do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspiration

D. pay no attention to the idea that good work can only be done when they are prompted by internal stimulus

78. In Paragraph 4 “as the fit takes them” means _____.

A. when they have the energy                            B. when they are in the mood

C. when they find conditions suitable                  D. when they feel fit

79. A suitable title for the passage might be _____.

A. Attitudes to Study                                  B. Study Plans

C. The Difficulties in Study                        D. Study and Self-discipline
