本文以经理给 Cynthia 的儿子买棒球手套为切入点来谈论一个公司要留住好员工,就要关心员工,关心员工的生活,而不是给他们多少钱的问题。
1. A 从上下文来看,此处说的是在经理培训课上经常谈论一些话题。
2. C 从下文举的 Cynthia 由于她的经理关心并给她儿子买棒球手套使得她继续留在该公司来看,“我们”谈论的话题是“留住好员工的问题”。在下文中有 What has ___3___ you to stay long to become a manager,其中的long 就是一个信号词。
3. D 由下文可知,Cynthia 曾在该公司工作并同时想着找其他工作,不过后来发生的一件事让她在该公司安心工作,并成为一名新经理,故此处用 caused。force 意为“被迫”,order 意为“命令”,均不合语境。
4. B 此处是对“我”提出问题的回答,即过了一会后 Cynthia 就以自己的切身体会回答了这个问题。take the question 的字面意思为“接受了这个问题”,也就是“回答了这个问题”。
5. B 从下文可知是一个棒球手套使她下决心留在这里并努力工作的。
6. D 上文说 Cynthia 已是个新经理,此处讲述的是她过去在那儿做临时工时的事情,可见这是以前的事情,故用 used。used to do sth 意为“过去常常做……”。
7. C 前面说她在那儿做临时工,后面说她在找其他的事情,故用 while表示她当时不稳定的心理。
8. B 由下文 I overheard you ___13___ to your son yesterday… 可知,此处指的是她接到了儿子的“电话”。
9. C 从后面的内容特别是 …it is __ to explain things to kids 来看,此处用explained。
10. C 儿子要棒球手套,可她却不能给儿子买,因为第一张支票要付账单来看,此处说的是“作为一个单身妇女,钱相对来说很紧张”。
11. B 从后面的 …have to go for paying bills 来看,此处应用 check。check 意为“支票”,在这里指“第一份工资”。
12. C 前面提到了一天,此处指儿子打电话来的“第二天早晨”,应用the next morning。
13. B 商店经理无意间听到了 Cynthia 与儿子打电话的内容,所以他才买了棒球手套送来。
14. C 从 She ___9___ that as a single woman, ___10___ was tight, and her first ___11___ would have to go for paying bills 来看,这是她苦口婆心地向儿子解释家中的困难,同时由 Cynthia 向儿子说的这些话知道儿子当时非常想要手套,由此可推断此处用 hard 为好,即“向儿子解释这些很困难”。
15. D / 16. D 从 good people like you… as we would like to, ___ we do care… 等来看,此处经理的话的意思是“你知道像你这样的好人,我们不能想给你多少就给多少”。
17. B 前面说我们不能想给像你这样的好员工多少钱就给多少钱,与后面的“我们确实很关心(在乎)”有转折关系,故用 but。
18. D 从上下文知,钱不是最重要的,而关心、同情和爱心才是最重要的。此处经理的意思是想让她明白“好员工对他们来说是多么的重要”,这才符合逻辑。
19. A 由经理给 Cynthia 的儿子买手套所体现的同情和爱心表明“人们更关注的是被关心,而不是他得到了多少钱”。
20. D 由 Cynthia 的亲身经历可知,对于雇员来说“雇主的关心比多给工资要重要的多”。这也可从 thoughtfulness, empathy and love of the store manager 看出来。

Hey there,
So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your patent’s money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any picture; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
*Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive (有竞争力的) or has the best-equipped rooms.
*Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications(申请)and links to many more .
*Raising Your Scores.  American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions (录取) course . It’s nor the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the test. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid . If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost. For more information, call 600-3681 or visit JohnsonReview.com. Wherever you go, have a nice trip!

A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”
  “Forty.”
  “No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”
  “Two months and five days.”
  “Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.
  “Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct?”
  Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.
  “Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect (疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”
  “You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.
  “But I made a note of it.”
  “Well... if you say so.”
  “Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”
  Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!
  “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”
  “Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”
  I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
  “Merci (法语: 谢谢),”she whispered.
  I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.
  “For the money. ”
  “But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’?”
  “In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”
  “They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)—to be such a fool?”
  Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”
  I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”
小题1:While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her ________.

On the New York set of the film Hide and Seek, ten-year-old Dakota Fanning spends her time playing a deeply disturbed girl who deals with her mother's suicide (自杀) by creating an imaginary friend, who may not frighten her family.
Today, though, she has the day off. "This week I only worked two days,"says Fanning, sitting in a sofa in her hotel's library, "but I get bored when I'm not working. Especially because it's cold here and I can't do anything, you know? So, I've been knitting (编织) --- all day, every day."The actress, who's held her own opposite Oscar winners such as Sean Penn and Denzel Washington, recently mastered the fine art of scarves (围巾). Though she's about ready to move on to hats, she first plans to make a souvenir (纪念品) scarf for Robert De Niro, who plays her father in the film. "He's the nicest guy you'd ever meet in your entire life,"she says, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I would make him a brown one.”
Like any other fifth-grader, Fanning spends several hours a day going to school. In addition to her personal trailer (活动住房) --- which is kept well-supplied with hot chocolate packets, lemon Gatorade, and a TV that doesn't always work --- she has another trailer where her teacher, Jan, conducts classes in history, spelling, reading, math, science and health. "We have this big board where we have a calendar (日历),"Fanning says. "When we were here in January, I wrote the calendar in all blue. February was red, and March was green.”
On this particular morning, she had a spelling test. "There was a topic for each of the word lists,"she says, sitting on her knees. "This one was flowers --- they were all names like oxygen, carbon dioxide, chrysanthemum (菊花)..."Chrysanthemum? "Well, they didn't make me spell that one. They just had me fill in the ‘e'. But I can spell it: c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.”

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized(强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating(欺骗) themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously(认真地) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued(继续) to believe that I had cheated on the test.
小题1:The story took place(发生) exactly ____ .
A.in the teacher’s officeB.in an exam room

At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his schoolmates up to start a baby-sitting circle.
Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer. He set up Peter Blackborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, color term-planner that now students all over the UK are using.
"I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative," he says, "I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go".
Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
"Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college."
Friends believe that Blackburn will make £ 1 million within 5 years. He is not quite so sure, however. "There's a lot to be done yet," he says.

A.spends more time on his business than on his studies course
B.keep in touch with his business office by movable phone
C.seldom goes out with his friends

小题5:Which of the following best explain why Blackburn works hard at his company?
A.He wants to do more business practice before he leaves college.
B.He wants to make more money before he leaves college.
