After having worked in the University of Maryland for three years, I got a job offer from another university---Lynn University. I left my letter of offer on my present boss's desk, turned around, and closed the door quietly. I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations, which would show her approval of my leaving.

In the afternoon, my boss called me, saying, "Can we meet tomorrow? "That was a good signal. The next day, I met with my boss. She said, 'Nicholas, we want you. What do you want?" I said, "Boss, I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance. I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here." My boss said, "No problem.''

When I left her office, I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise. They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job. The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more, but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay. I would win a battle, but I would lose a war. He said, "The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you, so you will feel guilty(内疚)and uncomfortable. But, I can still give you 5% more than the original offer."

I delivered this massage to my present boss, and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer. On top of that, she would strongly support my early promotion（晋升)from assistant professor to associate professor. According to the university policy, you must take at least 6 years to get promoted. That was my third year of employment at this university. After refusing the new job offer, I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion.

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman .

There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer (消费者), so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.

Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.

This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

1.According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.

A. the pleasing color of the package

B. the special taste of the product

C. the strange shape of the package

D. the belief in the product

2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.

A. bring excitement to the consumers

B. attract the consumers’ attention

C. catch the eye movement of the consumers

D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling

3.“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.

A. starting to notice the importance of new food

B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before

C. beginning to like green vegetables

D. paying more attention to their health

4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.

A. vegetable dish B. healthy juice

C. iced drink D. red vegetable

Paris

Passengers carried per day: 4.4m

Cost of ticket: 80p flat fare

Length: 131 miles Lines: 14 Stations: 297

In Paris there are pleasures for those who use the Metro(地铁) — many of them artistic. The graceful Art Nouveau dragon-fly entrances are just the most noticeable on a Metro system which celebrated its 100th anniversary by spending 30 million francs (£2.9million) on making its stations works of art. On my way home I pass Bonne Nouvelle station in the heart of Paris’s cinema district. There, during the cinema festival this summer, special lighting effects dot the platforms and films are projected onto the large advertising boards.

More than anything the metro is efficient. “When I worked on line 4”, says a retired driver, “we had exactly 30 minutes and 15 seconds to complete the journey. If it took any longer, they cut our pay.” But there are problems. Many Metro stations have too many stairs, and changing lines at big interchanges(交换) can be tiresome.

Moscow

Passengers carried per day: 9m

Cost of ticket: 12p

Length: 164 miles Lines: 11 Stations: 162

The first underground passage for the Moscow Metropolitan started in 1932. Three years later the trains started running. They haven’t stopped since— every 90 seconds or two minutes during rush hour, every five minutes the rest of the time, from 6 a.m. till 1 a. m. There may be a crowd of people but there is seldom a wait.

The trains take you through spacious and spotless stations. For tourists it’s a major sightseeing attraction: from Russian Art Deco to neo-classical, the Metro stations are not to be missed.

Tokyo

Passengers carried per day: 7m

Cost of ticket: 90p ~ £1.68

Length: 177 miles Lines: 12 Stations: 209

Trains do not just arrive on time in Tokyo. They stop right on the platform mark so that passengers can line up knowing exactly where the doors will open. Train driving is a respectful job for life, for which the applicants must pass a strict screening of health checks, interviews and written exams before they can put on the enviable uniform, cap and white gloves.

However, overcrowding means it is far from perfect. At rush hours, some stations employ part-time platform staff to push in passengers. Carriages can be filled to 184% of capacity(容量). The main reason for such conditions is that the Tokyo subway station system has only 15 miles of track for every 1 million people, compared to 36 on the London Underground. New lines are under construction, but at a cost of £500,000 per meter of rail. Progress has been slow.

Mexico City

Passengers carried per day: 4.2m

Cost of ticket: 11p flat fare

Length: 99 miles Lines: 11 Stations: 175

Fast, relatively safe, and very cheap, Mexico City’s underground is an ideal place of order and efficiency compared to the disorders above. The Mexican capital’s underground system is the biggest in the continent and one of the most subsidized (获得补助的) networks in the world.

The first trains leave the station at 5 a.m. and the last after midnight as the crowd move from the outskirts of the 20 million-strong megacity (大城市). Mexico City’s Metro also attracts a sizeable group of passengers who are unwilling to spend hours in traffic jams. There is a master plan to build new lines and extend existing one, but financial constraints (约束) complicated by the fact that the system runs through different jurisdicitons (管辖权) mean progress is slow.

1.Metro rail drivers in Paris must____.

A. keep to the train schedule strictly

B. complete the journey gracefully

C. stop right on the platform mark

D. understand the special lighting

2.In which two cities can travelling by underground be a sightseeing experience?

A. Moscow and Tokyo B. Paris and Moscow

C. Paris and Mexico City D. Tokyo and Mexico City

3.Which word may best describe the Tokyo underground trains?

A. Cheap B. Efficient C. Crowded D. Slow

4.Why is the expansion of the underground system in Mexico City slow?

A. The plan to extend existing lines is impractical.

B. The government offers little financial support.

C. People are unwilling to help build new lines.

D. The lines involve several authorities.

In universities in China, classes are often arranged in more flexible___ and a lot of jobs are offered to the students after graduation.

A. patterns B. ranks C. grades D. scales

Mike was one of my father’s younger brother. He has been died of cancer for two years. When I was a teenager, he taught us how to hunt in the woods used the hours before dawn. We usually left home at three o’clock in the morning, stayed in local restaurant for breakfast, and then travel on to one of his hunting destinations. Just after dawn, he would find the right spot in the woods. He would show me how not to make a sound and a movement. Though I never hunted an animal successfully, but I learned to be brave and patiently through the experience.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It me of how many people I've seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can't why people don't move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those situations in which someone doesn't even that the light is red, and just keeps going. That is why so many accidents happen! All these situations make me about the purpose of traffic lights.

It occurs to me that my have done much the same for me in of teaching me how to live. They have given me many lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to live with and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my doesn’t go astray (误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there also have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as as it can be. Just as I'm wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I'm walking the street, I'm wise to pay attention to the "life " given to me by my parents.
