The Fat Problem that Men Face
It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they don’t hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30’s, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I’ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them “tailored”.
Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, “Fat, medium or thin?” She knows the correct answer:medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day’s meals take their toll), puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, “am I getting fatter?”His wife is expected to answer, “you look like you may have lost a few pounds”.
And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn’t eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he’s fat?
16 Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 Women of a certain age do not discuss the fat problem, especially in the presence of men.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 Men usually begin to worry about their weight when they are nearly 40.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 The journalist used to drink Diet Coke and tuck his shirts in order to keep trim.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 Men older than the journalist never hesitate to talk about their fat problem yet would be displeased if their family members tell them the truth.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
21 My oldest brother’s daughter would not tell her father he is fat because she loves him so much that she cannot bear to upset him.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
22 The ex-husbands are pitiful because they have got no wives to sympathize with their fat problem.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

How to Get along Well with Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline, don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed, don’t go in just before or after he has token a vacation.
2 If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.

第一篇 Communications Revolution
Cyberspace, data superhighway, multi-media—for those who have seen the future, the linking of computers television and telephones will change our lives for ever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology, while the West concerns itself with the “how”, the question of “for whom” is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy. Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries, and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade, exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important that the production of goods. The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets—with destructive impact on the have-nots.
For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As “futures” are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves—so-called “development communications” modernization. Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries-economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U. S. , Europe or Japan; the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also expensive, and imported products and services must therefore be bought on credit—credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.
Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development. This means that while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit, those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied it.
31 From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of .
A the world economy
B the rich countries
C scientific development
D the elite
32 It can be inferred from the passage that .
A the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration
B the export of the poor countries should be increased
C communications technology in the developing countries should be modernized
D international trade should be expanded
33 Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?
A Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.
B Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.
C Because it enables the developed counties to control the international market.
D Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.
34 The development of modern communications technology in developing countries may .
A force them to reduce their share of exports
B cost them their economic independence
C hinder their industrial production
D cause them to lose control of their trade
35 The author’s attitude toward the communications revolution is .
A tolerant
B indifferent
C positive
D critical
第二篇 Surprised by a Miracle
I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it's "wishful thinking" on the families' part. Nurses can easily become callous to it.
On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient's wife came in. I had taken care of him for several nights. I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually, he didn't do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning.
His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool. I spoke to her for a few minutes, and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he's moving his hand!"
I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, and that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time and had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said, "I asked him to squeeze my hand and he did !"
This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to?" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked.
I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify her than to make her think I didn't believe her or that she was somehow mistaken.
She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did. I said, "Well, ask him to let go." He continued to squeeze for a moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn't believe that he had done it on purpose. So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger." He did as asked.
Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen and his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up."
36. The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient
A is found to be following commands.
B is thought to be following commands.
C is used to following commands.
D is callous to nurses' commands.
37. What was the condition of the patient before that particular night?
A He talked only with his wife.
B He barely moved at all.
C He moved only when hurt.
D He was too lazy to do anything at all.
38. How did the author feel upon first hearing what the excited wife said?
A She was amused.
B She was doubtful.
C She was scared.
D She was shocked.
39. What did the patient do on that particular night?
A He squeezed and let go his wife's hand.
B He held up one of his fingers.
C He stuck out his tongue.
D All of the above.
40. The author "almost fell on the floor" because
A she could hardly believe her eyes.
B she had been working too hard.
C she had been deceived.
D she had been tripped.
第三篇 Dangerous Sunshine to Children
Two United Nations1 agencies warned on Tuesday that children are most at risk of developing skin cancers as a result of the long-term decline in the earth's protective ozone layer. The agencies, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP)2, issued the warning as they launched a global programme aimed at alerting schools to the dangers of exposure to the sun.
"As ozone depletion becomes more marked, and as people around the world engage more in sun-seeking behaviour, the risk of health complications from over-exposure to ultra-violet radiation is becoming a substantial public health concern," said WHO Director-general3 Lee Jong-wook. By reducing the time children and adolescents are exposed to direct sunlight, he said: "We can substantially reduce the risk of contracting skin cancers, cataracts and other conditions4 which might only appear much later in life. "
In its 2002 World Health Report, the WHO said around the world an average of 66,000 people died every year from melanoma or other types of skin cancer. Independent scientific research shows that every year there are between two to three million new cases of non- malignant melanoma and around 130,000 malignant — and normally fatal — new full-blown skin cancer cases.
Although most known skin cancers seemed to occur in the industrialized world, WHO radiation and environmental health specialist Mike Repacholi told a news conference5, there were many cases believed to be unreported in poorer countries. Although people with darker skins were less susceptible to6 skin cancers, they were just as likely to contract eye cataracts as fairer-skinned populations, and people living close to the equator were even more likely to develop them.
As for the protection method, the WHO said that under the school plan, dubbed the Intersun Project7 , the two agencies will distribute packages showing teachers how to develop their own sun education programmes, the WHO said. In a joint statement from the two agencies which also marked the International Day for the Preservation of the ()zone layer, UNEP Executive Director8 Klaus Toepfer said latest studies showed the protective shield was on the road to9 recovery. This was the result of international agreements over the past two decades to phase out10 use of various chemicals — like those used in some pesticides, refrigerators and aerosols.
"But we must remain vigilant and more needs to be done before we can say that the problem is solved for good11 ," said Toepfer. This included stopping illegal trade in banned chemicals and enforcing the agreements in developing countries. "Only then can we say that the sky above our heads will be safe for our children and their children to come," the former German environment minister said.
41. Why does the risk of developing skin cancers in children become greater and greater?
A Because they pay little attention to their skin health.
B Because they are short of physical training.
C Because the earth's protective ozone layer declines year after year.
D Because the earth is getting warmer and warmer.
42. How many people die from skin cancers including melanoma all over the world every year?
A An average of 66,000,
B Approximately 130,000.
C About 1-96,000.
D Between 2,000,000 to 3,000,000.
43. What people are more likely to develop eye cataracts?
A Fairer-skinned people. B Darker-skinned people.
C People living near the equator. D People living near the poles.
44. All of the following articles may use some chemicals unfavorable for the preservation of the ozone layer EXCEPT
A aerosols B refrigerators
C pesticides D medicines
45. The phrase "for good" in the last paragraph can be best replaced by
A permanently B correctly
C largely D well

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated, he said. “Nobod’s going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information, ” Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation. 46
A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell, there are 3. 3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2, 000 a day. 47
As well, there are 2, 000 transmitter towers around Australia, many in high density residential areas. 48 The electromagnetic radiation emitted fro these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.
Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 metre radius of school grounds, child care centers, hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children. 49 He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.
50 According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.
A He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at rate more than three times that of adults.
B By the year 2004 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one for every two people.
C “If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised, ” he said.
D Then who finances the research?
E For example, Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them and disregard the need of the community.
F The conclusion is that mobile phones brings more harm than benefit.

Middle Age: A Low Point for Most
People around the globe hit the height of their misery and depression in __51 __ age, a new international study suggests.
The finding by British and American researchers was based on an analysis of well-being among approximately 2 million people in 80 nations. With few exceptions, the observation appears to apply across the board, regardless _52 __ gender, culture, geography, wealth, job history, education, and marriage or parental status.
"The scientific fact seems to be that happiness and positive mental health follow a giant 'U' 53 through life," said study author Andrew J. Oswald, a professor of economics at Warwick University in Warwickshire, England. "For the average person, it's high when you're 20, and then it slowly falls and bottoms out 54 your 40s. But the good news is that your 55 health picks up again, and eventually gets back to the high levels of our youth."
The finding was 56 on the pooling of several different sources of happiness data, including: two multi-decade happiness/satisfaction surveys (first launched in the 1970s), involving about 500,000 American and Western European men and women; four rounds of the 80-nation "World Values Survey" __57 __ between 1981 and 2004 in North America, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Central and South America; and a 2004-2007 survey _58 ___ nearly 1 million Britons.
The bottom-line: For most people throughout the world, the highest probability for depression striking is around 44 years of 59 .
In the United States, however, some as-yet unexplained __ 60 ___ differences were observed, with happiness among men dipping the most in their early 50s, whereas women hit their nadir around the age of 40.
The researchers cautioned that cheerful people tend to live longer than unhappy __ 61 __ -- a fact that might have skewed the overall finding. But they also suggested that evidence of a happiness ___ 62 __ might simply reflect a midlife choice to give up long-held but no longer tenable aspirations, followed by a senior's sense of gratitude for having successfully endured 63 others did not.
"That said, some might find it helpful simply to understand the general __ 64 __ of mental health as they go through their own life," said Oswald. "It might be useful for people to realize that if they are __ 65 __ in their 40s, this is normal. It is not exceptional. And just knowing this might help."
