My     job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I     what I wanted to do as a career.      I believed I would work for a few years, get married, stay home and raise a family, so I didn’t think the job I took     that much. I couldn’t have been more    . I mastered the skills of that beginning level position and I was given the opportunity to    through the company into different     .I accepted each new opportunity with the     , “Well, I’ll try it; if I don’t like it I can always go back to my     position.” But I was with the same company for the past 28 years, and I’ve     every career change I’ve made. I’ve discovered I     a large number of different talents and skills that I never would have thought were within me had it not been for my being    trying new opportunities.

Collecting information about pre-employment and filling out an application form are closely connected, However, filling out an application form is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.
  That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes before signing(簽約)it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind.
  I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything. If anyone questioned them, we would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides.
  So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you don’t like something, you can simply change the parts you don’t like, Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position, of course, and that is something only you can determine.
【小題1】Filling out application forms is much “easier” because_______.

A.everything connected with application forms is easier
B.you can control the form filling with enough time
C.you can plan and have control of the needed time
D.it is easier to collect information about pre-employment
【小題2】We can learn from the underlined part “Each word is important” that _______.
A.questions in a form must be answered
B.everything in a form must be read carefully
C.the conditions that interest you are changeable
D.something of your interests is most important
【小題3】It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that_______.
A.you must change a preprinted application before it is discussed
B.questions in a form are more important
C.you have little right to determine the conditions you like most
D.it depends on yourself to settle things in a form

Strange Baby-Naming Laws
Germany Parents are banned by law from using last names and the names of objects and products as first names. A child’s first name must clearly indicate his or her sex, and all names must be approved by the office of vital statistics in the area in which the child was born.
Iceland The country’s naming committee consults the National Register of Persons to determine if a name is acceptable. If parents want to go off-list, they must apply for approval and pay a fee, and the name must contain only letters in the Icelandic alphabet.
New Zealand The country’s Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act of 1995 prohibits parents from choosing a name that “ might cause offense to a reasonable person; is unreasonably long; or is, includes, or resembles an official title or rank,” including, apparently, Adolf Hitler and Yeah Detroit—both names recently rejected.
Denmark If Danish parents prefer a moniker not on the list of 7,000 preapproved baby names, they must get permission from local church and government officials. Fifteen to 20 percent of the 1,100 reviewed names—including creative spellings of common names, last names as first names, and unusual names—are rejected each year.

B.be accepted by the National Register of Persons.
C.contain only letters in the Roman alphabet.
D.be paid for some money.

A.Bin LadenB.Talula Does The Hula

A.Danish babies’ names should be on the list if parents can’t get the permission.

There’s no shortage of web sites offering deals-everything from daily deals to members-only private sales. But when it comes to real jaw-dropping deals, there’s one company that seems to have figured out a way to really deliver.
The company is called Quibids and they auction(拍賣)the hottest, in-demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods, as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers(零售商). Unlike other sites, the prices people pay are nowhere near retail. How low are the prices?
$ 33.84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB(retail $ 600)
$ 22.10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera(retail $ 1070)
Our first reaction on seeing these prices was disbelief. After all, how could Quibids possibly afford to sell these items for so little ---- surely they must be losing a lot of money.
That’s where its unique business model comes into play. You see, for every bid a buyer places for an item on Quibids, the company collects a small fee from the bidder. The fee to bid is only about 60 cents, but based on the volume of sales and bids, the company is able to collect enough to make up for the ridiculous prices the items sell for.
But best of all, participating in the Quibids auction is incredibly fun. Because each bid costs a little to place, shoppers can strategize when to place their bids. Each auction has a strict time limit. When you place your bid, the system adds a little time to the auction to see if any other bids come in. If you have the winning bid when the clock runs out ---- you win the item for that price.
But the best part of Quibids may be the “Buy-It-Now” feature. This allows bidders who did not win an auction to still buy the product they want and apply the cost of the bids they placed as a discount on the regular product price. So you still get the item and the bids you placed previously in the auction don’t cost you anything!
【小題1】According to the passage, the success of Quibids mainly lies in          .

A.how its buying and selling is conducted B.the change in people’s shopping model
C.the quality of the goods and service D.their willingness to risk losing money
【小題2】It can be inferred from the passage that          .
A.other retailers will be out of business B.winning a bid is not just a matter of luck
C.Quibids only sell popular electronics D.the prices on Quibids are the lowest
【小題3】A buyer who bid twice for a $ 20 MP4 can get one from “Buy-It-Now” for          .
A.$ 21.2 B.$ 20 C.$ 19.4 D.$ 18.8
【小題4】Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Buy Products for Next to Nothing B.How to Buy New Must–have Electronics
C.The Most Successful Shopping Website D.Tips on Shopping Online

“Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic(蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated(積累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
【小題1】The author develops the third paragraph mainly         .

A.by cause and effect B.by order in space 
C.by examples D.by order in time 
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.Eating garlic is good for our eyes. 
B.Carrots prevent people from catching colds. 
C.Swimming after a meal is dangerous. 
D.Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth. 
【小題3】What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives’ tales” in the text?
A.Objective. B.Subjective. C.Dissatisfied. D.Curious. 
【小題4】The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “     .”
A.to be valuable B.to be believable 
C.to be admirable D.to be suitable

Isn’t it interesting how we expect others to behave in a certain way so we can feel good about ourselves? And then when people don't behave as we want them to, we feel so disappointed and angry ––– when really, most times, we’re not actually surprised at their actions? We just want those actions to be different ––– actions we’d be more comfortable with.
This week I shared a friend a wonderful home-cooked meal and a bottle of wine. About the time we got to the freshly-baked cookies, the conversation turned to her somewhat crazy sister. I had to smile, just a little, since her sister-stories had had much the same theme for the last two decades.When her frustration was just about to peak over her sister’s latest unbelievably selfish act, I suggested she begin trying “The Law of Patient Acceptance.” “How can I possibly accept her behavior?” my friend asked. “Acceptance doesn’t necessarily mean tolerance,” I shared. “It just means that you accept the person for who they are and you stop knocking yourself out trying to change them.”
Everyone has these difficult people in their lives from time to time. “Think of it this way,” I said. “If you were to go out and buy an ottoman(擱腳凳) today, thinking you were buying a chair, you’d be really angry that the ottoman was such a pathetic(差勁的) chair. But once you realize what you’re dealing with, once you accept the ottoman for what it is and you stop trying to turn it into a chair, your anger largely goes away.”
You have to accept people for who they are. Even when you’ve had high hopes that they might have been able to be someone else. “You can’t change people,” my Mother always said. And she was right. The best we can do is to see people as clearly and objectively as possible. For they rarely change.
【小題1】According to the second paragraph, we can know that ________.

A.the writer thinks her friend should talk about her sister that way
B.the writer’s friend often complains about her sister
C.the writer advises her friend to spend more time with her sister
D.the writer doesn’t think her friend’s sister is selfish
【小題2】By mentioning the example of buying an ottoman, the writer intends to explain ________.
A.how “The Law of Patient Acceptance” works
B.what the meaning of “The Law of Patient Acceptance” is
C.why greed and selfishness exist
D.when we should use “The Law of Patient Acceptance”
【小題3】According to the writer, ________.
A.we should accept others for who they are
B.we should try to change others
C.we shouldn’t make friends with difficult people
D.we shouldn’t have high hopes for ourselves

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓約) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love,and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休閑) but work. Pick up the phone. Send an e­mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives,our days,our hours,and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of living. I learned to live many years ago. Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life. If I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey,not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally. And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you will live with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.
【小題1】How did the author form her view of life?

D.forget the most important lesson in life

Even when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.
Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.
You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices(犧牲). But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason why it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’t have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.
I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was extremely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, because of illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was very light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this strange experience? I believe you have known it.
【小題1】If someone can’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.

A.a(chǎn) schedule without gaps
B.breaks and distractions
C.the limited time
D.the limited energy
【小題2】According to Paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ________.
A.work without any rest
B.focus on many things at a time
C.find some more time in a day
D.do some exercise regularly
【小題3】The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ________.
A.prove what the real limiting factor is
B.show us how busily he needs to work
C.explain how important a healthy body is
D.tell us what a strange experience he has
【小題4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Do You Really Lack Time?
B.How Can You Work Efficiently?
C.What Makes Your Energy Limited?
D.When Should You Do Exercise?

“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making. For years March( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.
He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(復(fù)雜化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.
In one interesting part of book,for example,he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says “The more accurately(精確的)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”
Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding;Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.
【小題1】According to the text, James March is ____________. 

A.a(chǎn) poet who uses experience in his writing
B.a(chǎn) teacher who teachers story writing in university
C.a(chǎn) researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D.a(chǎn) professor who helps organizations make important decisions
【小題2】According to James March, experience ______________. 
A.is overvalued
B.is easy to explain
C.should be actively sought
D.should be inactively sought
【小題3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?  
A.Experience makes stories more accurate.
B.Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.
C.The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.
D.Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.
【小題4】What’s the purpose of this text?  
A.To introduce a book. B.To describe a researcher.
C.To explain experiential learning. D.To discuss organizational decision making.
