10．Last spring，employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies．A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike．Here is part of the report．
●Hartville's overtime pay is well below the national level，and overtime is obliged at least once a week．
●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rate of repetitive （重復的） stress injury．The equipment they are working with is extremely old and dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards．The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately．
●Sick and personal day policies are unclear．Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days，which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action．
●In the past four years，five pregnant women with clean work records were dismissed soon after their pregnancies were public．In all five cases，the reasons for firing were not specifically clear，although one of the employees was told by her immediate supervisor that new mothers make very unreliable employees．
●Hartville's upper management is largely unaware of the dissatisfaction of employees．Evidence shows that middle management delays vital information leading to upper management's underestimation of the seriousness of employee dissatisfaction．

65．Why do Hartville employees have a high rate of repetitive stress injury？C
A．Because the management policy is out of date．
B．Because their pays are extremely low．
C．Because Hartville's equipment is below standard．
D．Because sick and personal day policies are not clear．
66．One reason that the Hartville"s upper management is unresponsive is thatB．
A．they are more concerned with saving money than protecting employees
B．they are unaware of the degree of dissatisfaction among their employees
C．the company authority restricts its management function
D．they have not been trained in the latest management techniques
67．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the findings？A
A．A suggestion to raise employees'pay and reduce work time．
B．A description of employees being unfairly dismissed．
C．A comparison between overtime pay at Hartville and the national average．
D．A finding about a problem within middle management．

11．1．Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they're following the wrong group．
2．A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars （毛蟲） looking for food．He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar，forming a circle without end or beginning．Out of habit，the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation．In fact，plenty of food was close at hand，but it was outside the range of the circle，so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path．
3．           For example，if someone shouts，"Fire!"many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it．How many stop to ask themselves：Is this really the best way out of here？
4．Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom，achievement and success． A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong．People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun，stars and planets travelled around the earth．Both ideas are now considered ridiculous，but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers．
5．It's a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go．Success only favors those who think outside the box．

76．What is the best title for the text？（no more than 8words）Successful people rarely/seldom follow others．或Success favors those who stop and think．或Successful people always do things on their own．
77．How does the author support his ideas？（no more than 5words）By giving examples．
78．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3with proper words．（no more than 7words ）People often behave in a similar way/the same way．
79．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4mean？（ no more than 15words）It's difficult for most people to realize/know the crowd they follow can be wrong．或Most people find it hard to tell/realize they are following the wrong crowd．
80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5into Chinese．人們應該時而出列，觀察隊伍是否在沿著想要去的地方行進．．

8．Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops．New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize．
Kristy vanMarle，professor of the University of Missouri，has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown，infants（嬰兒）are able to quantify substances（物質）-like sand or water-as early as 10months．As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough，infants will choose the larger amount，especially when it comes to food．
With the assistance of her team researchers，vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups：one containing a small amount of food，and one containing a larger amount．Consistently，the babies chose the larger amount．
"Several studies throughout the last 15years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see； however，infants don't seem to count things like water or sand，"vanMarle said．"What we're saying is that they can quantify substances； it's just much harder．The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories．They decide which amount is larger，and they almost always select the larger one．"
This information further refutes（駁斥）the long-held idea that babies"know nothing of the world，"vanMarle said．
"Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures，we've discovered a lot of early abilities．I think for parents，it should be exciting to know that there's somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world，and that knowledge is guiding their development，"vanMarle said．
In the future，vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child's progress in math-related skills，although programs marketed to increase those abilities，such as"Baby Einstein，"still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study．

63．The quantifying ability refers to the ability toC．
A．choose between different substances   B．get much knowledge of the world
C．describe the quantity of something    D．obtain math-related skills
64．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4？B
A．The process of doing research．  B．The scientific findings．
C．The final choice of infants．    D．The observation of infants'behavior．
65．Babies choose the larger amount of foodD．
A．by saying numbers                B．with the help of parents
C．on personal preference           D．through their natural abilities
66．What's the best title of the text？A
A．Breakthrough in Baby Studies     B．Amazing Baby-training Ideas
C．Early Human Abilities            D．Unique Quantifying Methods．
