七选五阅读－根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes(模式化观念或形象)or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企业家)in the UK found that 70％ felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile(敌意的)to success, they said．It has a culture of jealousy．(嫉妒) 1 ．Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the UK is its home．
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money． 2 ．Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others－but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．
3 ．But there is also conflicting evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy, either．
“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．“It's people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．”
4 ．They set out to do things in their ways．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires． 5 ．It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly ,people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．
A．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．
B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner．
C．As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood．”
D．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others success．
E．Some were given a little, others a great deal．
F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．
G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Importance of Accessibility Awareness
? At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. ? 1.? However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).
? One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. ? 2.? These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces.????????????? ? 3.? And the meeting focused on educating the public.
? Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. ? 4.?
? Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. ? 5.? People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.
? Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.
A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.
B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.?
C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.?
D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.
E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.
F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.
G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.
