　　One of Britain's most popular reality TV programmes has returned to our screens for a fifth series．The Apprentice sees 16 ambitious individuals competing for a job with electronics tycoon(巨头)Sir Alan Sugar．

　　The Apprentice is a BAFTA award-winning British reality television series in which fl group of aspiring young businessmen and women compete for the chance to win a￡100,000-a-year job as“apprentice”to the British business tycoon Alan Sugar, The Baron Sugar．Winners have gone on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sir Alan(but since sold to BSkyB), or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen, Amsprop or Amshold．The Apprentice, billed as a“job interview from hell”, is similar in format to the American series of the same name, which stars entrepreneur Donald Trump．

　　With endless talk of financial crisis, redundancies(过剩)and cut-backs, it may come as no surprise that thousands of brave hopefuls applied for the show．The chosen 16 will compete in a series of business tasks and do their best to escape elimination．Not one of them wants to hear the fateful words：you're fired．

　　It should also be noted that this year's apprentices are not going, to be allowed to forget the terrible economic climate quite so easily．At the launch of this year's TV show, Sir Alan announced that some episodes have been“specifically made towards recognition of what difficult times we are in”．

　　The tasks will as usual be tough tests of business wisdom。team-working and leadership skill．They will also make for some funny viewing．British viewers will be shaking their heads in disbelief at the crazy decisions of the wanna be apprentices．But perhaps the most entertaining feature of the show will be watching the hopefuls squirm(局促不安)and quarrel in the。boardroom．It is here they will have to explain just why they have failed each task so badly．

　　What drives people to take part in the show is difficult to say．Some are clearly motivated by the promise of a six-figure salary and some claim they want the experience of working with a successful businessman such as Sir Alan．One thing is for sure．the contestants will all gain some level of celebrity．The show is a regular ratings winner．

　　To date, there has been one big winner and that is the show's creator, Mark Burnett．Originating in the US, The Apprentice's winning format has been copied all over the world and with the hype(炒作)surrounding this latest series, it looks as though the show will have success for many years to come．

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial．Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．

　　The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served(unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．

　　Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate．

　　People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough, just say so．Or you will always overeat!

阅读下面短文。从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss, or an insensitive（迟钝的）employee 36 your day?

One day I was in a taxi and we headed 37 the airport．We were driving in the 38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his 39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 40 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 41 at us．

My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really 43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”(垃圾车定律)．

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of 44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage 45 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 46 . Don’t take it personally: Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on．

Believe me. You’ll be 47 ．Don’t take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 50 in your life, Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you 5l bad things more often than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you 52 them more frequently．

Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don’t．Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 53 it!

When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by 54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．
