An incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle (狗刨式游泳) — the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf. Ricochet’s owner Judy Fridono said, “I was working with her at balance and coordination (協(xié)作). Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids. And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them, keeping them company.”

After becoming an expert, two-year-old Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves. Dressed in a yellow jacket, Ricochet helps to counter-balance the board and acts as a reassuring presence.

Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. “Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I can’t,” she said.

One of those who have benefited from Ricochet’s skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water. His fear turned to excitement, when he was told he could try a tandem (雙人) surf session with Ricochet. Their session was a success and by the end of it, Ian was smiling from ear to ear. As well as helping with treatments, Ricochet also raised ?5,000 to help continue Ian’s recovery.

Over the last 10 months, Ricochet’s excellent performances on the sea have raised more than ?30,000 for a number of charity causes.

1.According to the passage, Ricochet is .

A. a dog B. a doctor

C. a dog owner D. a disabled boy

2.What role does Ricochet play according to the passage?

A. She acts as a pet to please its owner.

B. She accompanies the disabled children at home.

C. She works as a guide dog for the blind

D. She helps the disabled children learn to surf.

3.Which statement can best describe Ricochet?

A. The two-year-old dog is severely disabled.

B. Ricochet helps youngsters build up their confidence.

C. Ricochet helps youngsters in their daily life.

D. Ricochet is a lifesaver on the sea.

One of the most traditional features of American culture is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual(體力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪華地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

Today we'll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留，凝視)．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.

Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（連續(xù)的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．

1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except _______.

A.1ighting and tiredness

B.one's purpose in reading

C.the length of a group of words

D.one's familiarity with the text

2.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A.The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading．

B.The reading exercises mentioned are of little help to an efficient reading.

C.The reading exercises mentioned can help improve reading.

D.The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.

3.The author may believe that reading ______________.

A.demands a deeply-participating mind

B.requires a reader to see words more quickly

C.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation

D.demands more eyes than mind

4.The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________．

A.supportive B.neutral

C.critical D.optimistic

Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事變更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.

In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor suggests that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted(限制) to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.

The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.

1.The research paper published is primarily concerned with______.

A. the way of preventing employee turnover

B. methods of improving employee performance

C. factors affecting employee turnover and performance

D. pay structures based on employee performance

2.As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that_______.

A. the data analysis is hardly reliable

B. the research sample is not wide enough

C. the findings are of no practical value

D. the research method is out-of-date

3.Who might be most interested in this piece of information?

A. Job hunters.

B. Employees in blue-chip companies.

C. Mid-level managers.

D. Researchers on employee turnover.
