    　　Wouldn’t it be great to get paid not to work? This isn’t just a dream at companies that offer sabbaticals(休假)．Employers say they’re a valuable way to give their workers a change of scenery and prevent them from being tired out．Unfortunately, only 3％ of companies offer paid sabbaticals(带薪休假)(12％ offer unpaid), according to the Society for Human Resource Management(SHRM)．But even if you’re not lucky enough to work for one of them, you can still enjoy a break．Three choices：

    　　Chunk of Time．To get a longer break than normal, save long weekends for vacation time, delay your days off till need year, borrow some time from next year to use now, or use extra time off for overtime hours, suggests Bonnie Michaels, president of the Society．

    　　Unpaid Time．If your family has no money problem, ask for a longer leave without pay．“But do your homework first, ” says Michaels．Research the costs for your break, plan your break at a time during which your company is not operating if possible, then be business-like and present your leave proposal so that your manager will believe that you’ll work better if you are more energetic after the leave．

    　　No Time．Just can’t get away? Read How to Take a Sabbatical Without Taking More than a Week Off(Simon ＆ Schuster), by Pare Ammondson, which shows an eight-week program to renew your energy and reduce your stress even while you’re working．

    B．

    C．

    an eight-week program to renew your energy is the best choice for busy employees

    D．

    employees should persuade their managers to give them sabbaticals

    (3)

    B．

    “My work is done.” Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. For 20 years, its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century’s prosperity. One of America’s bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed.
    But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends be needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.
    Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy, and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor, and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr. on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel. When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity from the Eastman Kodak Company.
    In an era of easy digital photography, when we can take a picture of anything at any time, we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people. Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn’t afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events, the sacred and precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity’s moment.
    And it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that familes cherish.  Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings, picnics and parties, be preserved and saved. It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form. Lovers could take one another’s pictures, children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school, the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording, and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made. And for centuries to come, those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny. Family history will be not only names on paper, but smiles on faces.
    The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job, but also allowed the company’s founder to engage in some of the most generous philanthropy in America’s history. Not just in Kodak’s home city of Rochester, New York, but in Tuskegee and London, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He bankrolled two historically black colleges, fixed the teeth of Europe’s poor, and quietly did good wherever he could. While doing good, Kodak did very well. Over all the years, all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy. They prospered a great company, but they – with that company – blessed the world.
    That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.
    Like its founder, we should remember how it lived, not how it died.
    History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.
    But history will never forget Kodak.

    科目：高中英语 来源：2013-2014学年甘肃省高三下学期第一次诊断考试英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?

    Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.

    Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.

    Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!

    Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.

    1.The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to???????? .

    A. support online shopping????????????? ?????????????

    B. collect answers from readers

    C. show his dislike of going shopping?????? ?????????????

    D. introduce the topic of the passage

    2.By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?

    A. Using only trusted websites.???????????????

    B. Choosing big websites.

    C. Collecting shopping evidence.?????????????

    D. Seeking advice from the police.

    3.The author agrees with the fact that ______.

    A. customers are never satisfied with products

    B. online shopping is a safe way to make purchases

    C. online shopping has nothing to do with global warming

    D. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy

    4.What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?

    A. Very popular.?? B. A wise choice.??? C. Not trouble free.? D. A waste of time.
