Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons：a combination of savings，income，scholarships，and a modest amount of borrowing.Then her husband lost his job，and the plan fell apart. " I have two kids in college，and I want to say‘come home'，but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education， "says Jacobs. The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools，and each son increased his borrowing to the largest amount through the federal loan（its） program.They will each graduate with S 20，000 of debt，but at least they will be able to finishschool. With unemployment rising，financial aid administrators（财政补助管理者） expect to hear more families like the Jacobs.More students are asking for aid，and more families expect to need student loans，College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time，tuition（= 4 t） continues to rise.A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007，while average family income rose just 147%.Student borrowing has more than doubled in the Last ten years. "If we go on this way for another 25 years，we won′t have an affordable system of higher education， " says Patrick M.Callan，president of the center. "The middle-class families have been financing it through debt.They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge amount of debt." Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them.The good news，however，is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing，and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted （未受干扰的）.（1）According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail？ ____ A.The twins wasted too much money.B.The father was out of work.C.Their saving ran out.D.The family fell apart.（2）How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem？ ____ A.They asked their kids to come home.B.They borrowed ＄ 20，000 from the school.C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobsD.They got help from the school and the federal government（3）Financial aid administrators believe that ____ .A.more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB.the government will receive more letters of complaintC.college tuition fees will double soonD.America′s unemployment will fall（4）What can we learn about the middle-class families from the text？ ____ A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B.Their income remained steady in the last ten years.C.They will try their best to send kids to collage.D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.（5）According to the last paragraph，the government Will ____ .A.provide most students with scholarshipsB.dismiss some financial aid administratorsC.stop the companies from making student loansD.go on providing financial support for college students

Passage 2A little break can go a long way.A new Baylor University study, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, has found that frequent shorter breaks throughout the workday can help employees recharge and reduce their work exhaustion."Unlike your cell phone, which popular wisdom tells us should be depleted (耗尽) to zero percent before you charge it fully to 100%, people instead need to charge more frequently throughout the day," said Baylor University professor and researcher Emily Hunter, PhD.Hunter and fellow Baylor University researcher Cindy Wu, PhD., surveyed 95 employees (aged 22-67) for their study, "Give Me a Better Break: Choosing Workday Break Activities to Maximize Resource Recovery." Their mission was to figure out how employees could take the "best types of breaks." The 95 employees documented each break they took during the course of a typical five-day workweek. These breaks included lunch and coffee breaks, checking personal emails and socializing with other workers. Bathroom breaks were not included in the survey. This added up to a collection of 959 surveys, with an average of two breaks a day per person.A mid-morning break was more beneficial to workers than an hour lunch break or mid-afternoon break because it boosted motivation, energy and concentration before the midday lull (间歇) sets in.Taking breaks that are satisfying, can also reduce the presence of headaches, eyestrain and lower back pain upon returning to work, according to the study.Not unsurprisingly, the researchers also found that "better breaks" consisted of employees engaging in the activities of their choice — even if it was work-related. "Finding something on your break that you prefer to do — something that is not given to you or assigned to you — are the kinds of activities that are going to make your breaks much more restful, provide better recovery and help you come back to work stronger," Hunter said.(1) (单选题)What is the main idea of the passage?A.Frequent short workday breaks can help employees restore strength.B.Mid-morning break is more beneficial to workers than other breaks.C.Work-related breaks are better than random breaks.D.People need to recharge many times during workdays.(2) (单选题)The term "go a long way" in Para. 1 can be best replaced by ________.A.go very farB.be very helpfulC.make you very successfulD.stand in your way(3) (单选题)What is the purpose of the survey made by Emily Hunter and Cindy Wu?A.To find out why frequent short breaks can help employees recharge.B.To find out the benefits of taking frequent short breaks.C.To find out how many breaks employees can take on average.D.To find out in what way employees take the breaks.(4) (单选题)Why is a mid-morning break more beneficial to workers than a mid-afternoon break?A.Because it helps people get concentrated when they get distracted.B.ecause it makes people feel energetic when they are tired.C.Because it makes people feel vigorous before the midday lull sets in.D.Because it boosts motivation before people get sleepy.(5) (单选题)According to the passage, how to make employees' breaks more effective?A.Take breaks with assigned or given works.B.Take more short breaks in the afternoon.C.Think work-related things during breaks.D.Take part in activities you like during breaks.A. doesn’t lookB. don’t lookC. not lookD. don’tlooking

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
