              Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother in New York．He was coming back with a heavy heart．It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday； it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag（时差）； it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and，over the months，he had grown to hate them．
              Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agenda（会议议程）； they indulged in （沉溺于）game playing； and he knew that people were not being honest and open．The meetings themselves were bad enough-there was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like"I could have improved on that idea，but I wasn't going to say"．
              As this morning's meeting began，Martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom．But，as the meeting progressed，he became aware of a strange background noise．At first，he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London．But，as he concentrated on the noise，it became a little clearer．
              He realized，to his amazement，that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking．What surprised him，even more than the acquisition（获得）of this strange power，was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking．They were not making clear their reservations．They were not supporting views which they thought might be popular．They were not contributing their new insights．They were not volunteering their new ideas．
              Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge．So he started to make gentle interventions，based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying．"So，John，are you really saying…""Susan，do you really think that？""Tom，have you got an idea on how we could take this forward？"They looked at him，puzzled．In truth，he felt rather proud of his newly-acquired talent．
              As the meeting progressed，it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others．The game playing started to fall away； people started to speak more directly； views became better understood； the atmosphere became more open and trusting．
              The meeting ended．As people left the room，Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking．"That was the best meeting we've ever had．""All meetings should be like that．""In future，I'm going to say what I think"．

              (1) It is known from the first paragraph that Martin ______ ．
              A. just came back from his business trip in New York
              B. was found to suffer from a serious heart disease during the trip
              C. had a good time during his fortnight's stay in New York
              D. didn't like his work in his London office
              (2) Why did Martin hate his company's team meeting？ ______
              A. Because it had to be held every Monday morning．
              B. Because he was tired of hosting such a meeting．
              C. Because he couldn't control the meeting that was out of order．
              D. Because the meeting atmosphere wasn't open and trusting．
              (3) The underlined part"his newly-acquired talent"in Paragraph 5means that he could ______ ．
              A. still hear the engine noise of the plane though he was back
              B. clearly hear what the members of the meeting were saying
              C. actually control the thoughts of the members of the meeting
              D. express what the meeting members were thinking based on their words and their thoughts
              (4) What do we know about this Monday morning's meeting from the passage？ ______
              A. Martin made people say what they were thinking immediately the meeting began．
              B. Martin was angry at the dullness of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting all the time．
              C. Martin led people to express their real thoughts with the meeting progressing．
              D. Many members of the meeting played games and told lies at the meeting all the time．
              (5) It is inferred from the last two paragraphs that towards the end of the meeting Martin would hear such words as" ______ "．
              A. I was thinking of making a suggestion-but I couldn't be bothered
              B. I have got an idea on how we could take this forward．I think we should…
              C. The usual people say the usual things，so I have no other new ideas
              D. I could have improved on that idea，but I wasn't going to say．

              After researching the history of the Vietnam War，I called my mum and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Vietnam that I could interview．She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War．
              She says，"I know him since I was little．He was one of the greatest athletes of the school．You can not imagine how good and fast he was．Well，he was ranked number 18in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner．But now， those things are only memories．"
              I called him and introduced myself．He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning，but as soon as I began to question him，his attitude changed．"What happened in Vietnam？"I asked．There was a moment of silence on the other line，and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam．
              He said that he was drafted when he was 20years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget．He said，"The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place．"There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there．There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family．It is very sad，but it is the truth，and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth．
              When I returned to Puerto Rico，it was a total disaster：young kids without fathers，wives without husbands．Most of those who made it back have no legs，like me，or no arms．I was praised because of my bravery，but for me，that was and is pure nonsense，because that war decided my future，decided the future of my family．I，now，am just a veteran who has nothing．
              The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man，or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love．In war，every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don't kill first you are going to get killed．

              (1) Why did the author's mother say"Those things are only memories"？ ______
              A. Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret．
              B. Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man．
              C. Because though her cousin was a good runner，he lost his leg during the war．
              D. Because time passed quickly and she can't remember much of the past days．
              (2) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph？ ______
              A. Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war．
              B. It takes mental strength to survive the war．
              C. The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers，
              D. The author's uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war．
              (3) Why did the author's uncle find the praises"pure nonsense"？ ______
              A. Because praises came too late．
              B. Because no praise could make up for his loss．
              C. Because he didn't kill anyone during the war．
              D. Because too many praises seemed worthless．
              (4) What can we infer from the last paragraph？ ______
              A. Those who decide to fight should take part in the war by themselves．
              B. The veterans could stand any hardship in their life after the war．
              C. Those who made the war should be severely blamed．
              D. Firing first is the best policy on the battlefield．

              Whether it is"women and children first"or"every man for himself"in a shipwreck may depend on how long it takes the ship to sink，researchers said recently．
              When the Lusitania was torpedoed （用鱼雷袭击） by a German ship in 1915，it sank in 18 minutes and the majority of the survivors were young men and women who responded immediately to their powerful survival instincts．
              But when the Titanic struck an iceberg in 1912，it took three hours to go down，allowing time for more civilized behavior to take control--and the majority of the survivors were women，children and people with young children．
              Economist Benno Torgler of the Queensland University of Technology in Australia and his colleagues studied the two sinkings in order to explore the economic theory that people generally behave in a"rational"and selfish manner．The two tragedies provided a"natural experiment"for testing the idea，because the passengers on the two ships were quite similar in terms of gender and wealth．
              The major difference was how long it took the ships to sink．They suggested that when people have little time to react，instincts may rule．When more time is available，social influences play a bigger role．But psychologists noted that many factors other than following social norms （社会规范）could come into play in a disaster，including an evolutionary urge to save the species，attachments that are formed between individuals during the event and the leadership of authority figures．
              The extent of altruism（利他主义）and how it occurs"is a very controversial issue，"said Anthony R．Mawson，a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center．He thinks the dominant response was attachment behavior．
              Psychologist Daniel Kruger of the University of Michigan，US thinks that the answer lies less in social norms and more in our evolutionary heritage．Human beings have a deep instinct to preserve our kind，he said，and that means"people are more likely to save those who have higher reproductive value，namely the young and women in child-bearing years"．
              Kruger also stressed the importance of leadership during a disaster，noting that the Titanic's captain appeared to have greater control than the Lusitania's．
              （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS）

              (1) According to Benno Torgler，what led to the different results between the two shipwrecks？
              ______
              (2) Besides social norms and leadership，what other factors play a part in disaster behavior？
              ______
              (3) According to Daniel Kruger，Why do the young and women of child-bearing age take the priority to survive？
              ______

              The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing．Since 2009，a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world-Little Free Libraries．The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods where residents（居民） can take out and leave books．Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes．Some libraries also have themes，focusing on books for children，adults，or tour guides．
              In 2009，Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother，a devoted reader．When he saw the people of his community gathering around it，exchanging conversations as well as books，he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further．"I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other．"Bol said．
              Since then，his idea has become a movement，spreading from state to state and country to country．According to Little Free Library．org，there are now 18，000of the little structures around the world，located in each of the 50US states and 70countries in Europe，Africa and Asia．
              The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries．But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads．The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human．For many people，the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries'main appeal．"A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading； a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life，"says the Atlantic article．"Every book is a potential source of inspiration．"

              (1) How do Little Free Libraries get their books？ ______
              A. Citizens shared them．
              B. Tod Bol donated them．
              C. US government provided them．
              D. The communities bought them．
              (2) Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries？ ______
              A. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide．
              B. He was inspired by the sharing economy．
              C. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk．
              D. They are a gift to please his mother．
              (3) According to the Atlantic article，Little Free Libraries ______ ．
              A. help cut down on e-reading
              B. benefit the spread of the Internet
              C. promote e-reader downloads
              D. call on human to care about each other
              (4) Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that ______ ．
              A. they connect strangers together
              B. they are located all over the world
              C. they are in various shapes and sizes

              The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack．The thunder of their hooves （蹄） rings in the riders'ears，nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd．After three or four minutes of suspense，one horse crosses the finish line first，winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history．
              The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup-one of the world's most famous horseraces-were fated to race．Bred for speed，these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions．
              Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team．A horse's owner manages the team and decides which races to enter．A trainer determines the racehorse's diet and exercise．Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured，but overtraining tires the horse．A groomer （动物美容师） cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer．And of course，no horserace could be run without a rider．These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another．They need to make a strategy，adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory．
              Australia's most famous horserace，the Melbourne Cup，is 3，200meters of pure excitement．Each year 300or 400horses are nominated （提名），but only 24can run．The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors，but winners of certain races qualify automatically．
              Each racehorse receives a handicap-a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning-two months before the race．Originally，horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps．But the rules have changed，reducing the handicap for previous winners．
              The first Melbourne Cup in 1861drew a crowd of 4，000spectators，and the race's popularity has grown since then．Held on the first Tuesday of November，the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment．
              The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich．Today it still attracts society's upper class．They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort．
              But anyway it's all about the race-the effort of horses and riders，the suspense and the thrill of victory．

              (1) What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup？ ______
              A. They are all winners of a certain race．
              B. They are raised and trained by joint effort．
              C. They are chosen from ordinary horses．
              D. Their fates are determined by their trainers．
              (2) The racehorses are given handicaps so that ______ ．
              A. they will weigh the same
              B. previous winners are unlikely to win
              C. the race will be fair enough
              D. they will be more adaptable to the race
              (3) It can be learned from the passage that ______ ．
              A. the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress well
              B. the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy people
              C. the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortune
              D. the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide
              (4) The passage can most probably be found in ______ ．
              A. a sports journal
              		B. a business newspaper

              Want to attract and keep top talent？Here's a suggestion：Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal．
              A survey this summer of 1，215 U．S．managers and employees across a variety of industries，by EY （formerly Ernst & Young），found those aged 18to 32rank flexibility among the perks （特殊待遇） they want most，with 33% saying they wouldn't work anywhere that didn't offer it．But it seems those aged 33to 48value flextime even more：38% of them consider it non-negotiable，with men who said so，at 40%，slightly outnumbering women （37%）．
              "Companies first started offering flexible schedules，in the late 80s and the 90s，as a way to recruit （招募） and keep talented women，but it's gone way beyond that now，"observes Karyn Twaronite，an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business．
              Noting that both men and women，in all age groups，ranked flextime （弹性工作制） tops among non-cash perks，Twaronite adds，"That result mirrors exactly what we're seeing here at EY．"The accounting and consulting giant，No.57on Fortune's Best Companies to Work For，has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years-including，since 2004，six weeks'of paid leave for new dads．
              "Flextime may have started out as a women's issue，but it's changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect，"he adds．"I think it's partly because of the large number of two-career households now，where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one．"
              The EY survey suggests that，in the next decade or so，the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is．Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule，the report notes，but"respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours，as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten years．"
              That doesn't surprise Twaronite．"Work is changing，"she observes．"The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24hours a day，especially in global companies that operate across different time zones．The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people's lives outside of work-because they have to be．"

              High-quality customer service is told by many，but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done．
              Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail （零售） store，but instead will alarm their friends，relatives，co-workers，strangers and anyone who will listen．Store managers are often the last to hear complaints，and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors，according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school．"Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers．"Said Paula Courtney，president of the Verde group．"The store loses the customer，but the shopper must also find a replacement．"
              On average，every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others，and will no longer visit the specific store．For every dissatisfied customer，a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews．The resulting"snowball effect"can be disastrous to retailers．
              According to the research，shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems．Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers．The most common complaints include filled parking lots，messy and overloaded shelves，sold-out items，long check-out lines，and rude salespeople．
              During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants．Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces．This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly，and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space．
              Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts，pre-stocking sales items，hiring speedy and experienced cashiers，and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions．Most importantly，salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers．
              "Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over problems than those who aren't so friendly．"Said Professor Stephen Hoch．"Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help．"
              Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world．Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong．

              (1) Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints？ ______
              A. Customers have no easy access to store managers．
              B. Few customers believe the service will be improved．
              C. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to others．
              D. Most customers won't bother to complain about unhappy experiences．
              (2) Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers ______ ．
              A. won't have trouble parking their cars
              B. won't have any worries about security
              C. can find their cars easily after shopping
              D. can stay longer looking around in the store
              (3) What contributes most to smoothing over problems with customers？ ______
              A. Design of the store layout．
              B. Manners of the salespeople．
              C. Hiring of efficient employees．
              D. Huge supply of goods for sale．
              (4) To achieve better shopping experiences，customers are advised to ______ ．
              A. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
              B. put pressure on stores to improve their service
              C. shop around and make comparisons between stores
              D. settle their disagreement with stores in a diplomatic way．

              The Chinese put up with a lot living in the world's most populous country：standing on over-crowded trains for 40hours； sleeping outside hospitals to secure a doctor's appointment； waiting more than a year to earn a driver's license．
              Add getting a U．S．entry visa to the list．Applicants here have waited as long as 60days to secure an appointment at one of five U．S．consular locations（领事馆）in China that process visas．There，they're often greeted by long lines，followed by a face-to-face interview that can end badly in a matter of seconds．
              Now there are only about 100 U．S．visa officers in China，facing considerable challenges during the summer when tourists and students travel the most．"It's not easy work，"Charles Bennett，minister-counselor for Consular Affairs at the U．S．Embassy in Beijing，said to his staff．"You're making，in some cases，life-changing decisions many times a day，and that can cause great tiredness．"
              To adapt，US consular services expanded their hours，took on about a dozen additional staff and hope to have another 20officers by spring．More facilities are also being expanded．
              Despite the shocking numbers，the embassy remains dogged by charges that it rejects applicants unreasonably and that the process is unfairly burdensome．"I'm fed up，"said Wendy Liu，24．The single woman from Beijing said she was recently refused a visa and told to re-apply when her personal life and finances were more stable．"I'll go anywhere but the U．S．now，"she said．"I thought America was supposed to be a country of freedom．"
              To visit the US，Chinese nationals must prove that they have enough money and family or business ties that make it likely they'll return to China．The Department of Homeland Security said it did not keep records on how many Chinese overstay their visas．
              Student visas can be refused on grounds of national security．Beijing native Tan Ge，25，believes he was not accepted after he stated his interests in infrared（红外线的）technology and nanoelectronics（纳米电子学）on his application．He now studies in Canada after being forced to abandon a full scholarship to Arizona State University．
              By its very nature，the on-the-spot process at the U．S．Embassy can feel unbearable to Chinese applicants，who are asked to take their bank statements，property deeds（房产证），marriage licenses and HUKOU，a Chinese household ID．
              "It made me feel very uncomfortable，"said Xu Yong，28，a journalist who needed a business visa last month to cover a conference in New York．"They made me feel like someone from a Third World country up to no good．"
              After giving his fingerprints，Xu waited to be called for his interview，sitting in an area that was as quiet as a library．Each passing minute seemed to be as long as a century．
              After an hour，Xu was called with three other people to a window for their interview．Two were rejected before his turn．Then the American officer，speaking fluent Chinese，reached for Xu's paperwork，asked some simple questions and said，"Congratulations．"
              "I was so nervous．The first thing I did when I got out was to call my mom and tell her I passed，"Xu said．"She was the one who warned me it wasn't going to be easy．"

              (1) We can learn from Paragraph 2 that in China ______ ．
              A. you may quickly be rejected for a U．S．visa after a long wait
              B. getting a U．S．visa is not as hard as getting a driver's license
              C. an applicant has to wait two months to get a visa for the U．S．
              D. there are more than five US consular locations stamping visas
              (2) What makes it tiring work to be a U．S．visa officer？ ______
              A. Overcrowded workplaces．
              B. Expanded working hours．
              C. Poorly-equipped offices．
              D. Over-loaded responsibilities．
              (3) The underlined word"dogged"in Paragraph 5 means" ______ "．
              A. troubled B. pardoned
              		C. submitted D. abandoned
              (4) Beijing native Tan Ge was refused a U．S．visa probably because he ______ ．
              A. had no stable income
              B. was supposed to be unsafe for the U．S．
              C. had too wide interests
              D. had got a full scholarship in the U．S．
              (5) Why does the author give a detailed description of Xu Yong's experience？ ______
              A. To show how lucky Xu is to make it to New York．
              B. To reflect the problems in processing a U．S．entry visa．
              C. To stress what a hard-won success it is to get a U．S．visa．
              D. To persuade readers out of working or studying abroad．
