    Picture this situation. It is late afternoon and you are    36   . You have an important dinner engagement that evening so you    37    to take an hour nap. Instead of setting your alarm you ask a friend who is visiting to wake you in an hour. He   38   .
    Two hours later, your friend wakes you. You ask, “Why didn’t you wake me after one hour?” He    39    that he thought you asked him to wake you in two hours and that is what he said. You then have to run around and get ready    40  , muttering to yourself about how you    41   have set the alarm rather than asking your friend to wake you. Had you done that, you would not have been so    42    to get ready.
    Your conclusion is correct. Your    43   of what happened looked at the system you used. Your friend’s   44   to wake you resulted from a miscommunication.   45   he didn’t hear you correctly or you misspoke.
    46   at the situation from the point of view of being personally responsible is always better than blaming yourself or another. So how do you best be “responsible” in this situation? The answer is   47   in systems thinking.
    Dr. W. Edward Deming is the American statistician who is credited with   48   the quality practices to Japan.   49   his arrival in that country in 1950, the label “made in Japan” was synonymous with inferior(劣等的) quality. Now the same “made in Japan” label is synonymous(等同) with   50   quality.
    So what did Dr. Deming teach the Japanese that made such a  51   to the quality of their products? The answer is quite simple, yet profound.   52   on years of statistical analysis, Deming was able to validate(证明) that 94 % of all failures are not because people don’t want to do a good job. The fact is that   53   people want to do a good job.
    What, then, is the   54   if it’s not the people?
    It’s the system. The system failed in 94% of the    55   , not the people.

    My mother through her fine example instilled(慢慢灌输) within me the desire to help others. She taught me to notice those whom others ignore.
    The railroad tracks were within a mile of our house. Beggars frequently would knock at the doors in our neighborhood in summer asking for food. They were often turned away. Others simply ignored the knocks.
    My mum always went to the door smiling. She would invite them to stay and have something to eat. She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch(走廊). There was a nice view into the flower gardens, and it was cool even on the hottest days.
    She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company. She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert. Usually she sent a packed lunch with them when they were ready to go, too. Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who asked about work.
    She listened to those who wanted to talk. She never asked what would lead them to be in this difficult situation. It did not matter. She saw only the need. Some thought she did too much for them. She would say, “In the depression(萧条时期) when my father was searching around for any work to feed us, thoughtful people fed him. I am just repaying their kindness. I cannot offer them money, but I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged,” My mum was quite a lady.

    The summer beach season is prime time for shark attacks. It seems like sharks are attacking all the time. But that is something of an illusion. The number of attacks is very small.
    How does a shark hunt? Muscles and fins give the shark its speed and maneuverability in the water. A shark’s front fins act like the wings of a plane and let it “fly” through the water. The tail acts like a high-power propeller
    But the big thing that gives the shark its edge in the ocean is its sensory package. The package includes the shark’s eyes, ears, skin, nose and mouth, as weir as electric sensing.
    A shark’s nose is probably its most important sense. If you were to put a single drop of blood in a swimming pool, a great white shark could smell that. And they can tell the direction that the smell is coming from.
    Sharks handle their electric sensing using cell located in the head. Whenever something moves using its muscles, a shark can detect the electrical impulses flowing to those muscles. A shark can electrically “see” anything that has muscles even if it is hiding or the water is not clear.
    Sharks even have vibration sensors in their skin. Even something moves near the shark, tubes pick up the pressure changes and hairs inside the tubes send signals to the brain. This extra sense allows a shark to turn quickly and attack again.
    When you put all these different senses together , it makes the shark a nearly ideal hunter. A shark can detect prey from miles away and then use eyes, electrosensing and movement sensing to home in.
    Strangely, sharks do not seem to use these senses to home in on people. The very low number of sharks tells us that sharks do not hunt people in a regular basis. On the other hand, people love to hunt sharks, Millions of sharks die every year.  Without protection, extinction is a definite possibility.
    68.From the text, we can know that_________________.
    A. it is true that sharks are attacking all the time
    B. a shark can see anything that has muscles even if it is hiding.
    C. sharks deal with their electric sensing using cell located in the skin
    D. what gives the shark its speed and maneuverability is fins and muscles
    69.What gives the shark its edge in the ocean according to the text?
    A. Its muscle.                                               B. Its nose.                      
    C. Its sensory package.                                     D. Its fins
    70. The underlined phrase home in on means___________.
    A. swim                B. move                  C. hunt                       D. smell
    71.In this text, the writer implies that__________.
    A.there ara many shark attacks                     B. humans beings should protect sharks    
    C. human beings dislike hunting shark             D. sharks’ nose is very important

    If you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, you’re sadly mistaken.
    Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the week—making it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.
    Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.
    People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpool. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.
    Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”
    “Temperatures will be between 5℃and 8℃, which is below average for the start of spring.”
    The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday. 
    Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9℃. But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.
    Overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3℃for the next three nights.
    “It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.
    The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years.
    Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK’s average 1.5℃, making it the deepest freeze since 1978—79.
    It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.
    The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.
    Following the two mistakes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.
    In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britain’s size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.
    It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.
    60. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _______.
    A. dry but cloudy  B. sunny but chilly  C. sunny and warm  D. cloudy and chilly
    61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A. British people can put away their winter clothes now.
    B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range.
    C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate.
    D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.
    62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A. The big chill isn’t over yet                     B. A warm spring finally arrives
    C. A heavy snow is on the way                 D. The Met Office drops forecasts
    63. From the passage, we can conclude ________.
    A. the weather report is more and more important
    B. British people become worried about bad weather
    C. Britain has just experienced a very freezing winter
    D. The Met Office can always predict any heavy snow falls accurately
