            • 1. After having worked in the University of Maryland for three years,I got a job offer from another university---Lynn University.I left my letter of offer on my present boss's desk,turned around,and closed the door quietly.I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations,which would show her approval of my leaving.
              In the afternoon,my boss called me,saying,"Can we meet tomorrow?"That was a good signal.The next day,I met with my boss.She said,'Nicholas,we want you.What do you want?"I said,"Boss,I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance.I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here."My boss said,"No problem.''
              When I left her office,I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise.They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job.The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more,but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay.I would win a battle,but I would lose a war.He said,"The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you,so you will feel guilty(内疚)and uncomfortable.But,I can still give you 5% more than the original offer."
              I delivered this massage to my present boss,and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer.On top of that,she would strongly support my early promotion(晋升)from assistant professor to associate professor.According to the university policy,you must take at least 6years to get promoted.That was my third year of employment at this university.After refusing the new job offer,I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion.

              D.His friends would congratulate him on getting a new job offer.
              25.Why did the new boss agree to another 5% raise when Nicholas asked for 10% the next day?    
              A.He did not have the right to make such a big pay offer.

            • 2. Li Mingyang only joined Alibaba's investment platform one month ago but he has already transferred(转移)almost all the cash in his bank account-nearly Rmb200,000 ($32,000)-to the online fund.He is far from alone.More than 30million people in China have signed up to Yu'E Bao,or"Leftover Treasure",only six months since its launch.
              Initially as the Chinese e-co mmerce group as a platform for its users to manage extra funds in their online payment accounts,Yu'E Bao is becoming something far more powerful:a straight-up substitute for traditional bank deposits (存款)."There's no point in keeping money in the bank any more.This is just as reliable,more flexible and you can earn a lot more from it,"Mr Li says.
              A quick hit of the Yu'E Bao application on his phone shows the Shanghai-based editor has earned more interest on his account over the past  day than 94per cent of other local users."This is fun,almost like a computer game,"he says with a laugh.
              For every Rmb12that companies and individuals have deposited in Chinese banks since June,they placed roughly Rmb1in their Yu'E Bao accounts,according to Financial Times calculations based on official data.While it remains tiny compared with total deposits in the Chinese banking system,this transfer of cash from banks to the Alibaba platform is only speeding up.In the process,it threatens to upend( 颠倒) the rules of China's state-protected financial department,break banks'profit model and shifting power to savers in a way that was scarcely imaginable at the start of this year.
              Other Chinese tech companies are getting in on the act.Tencent,developer of the hugely popular messaging app WeChat,is said to be designing a fund platform similar to Yu'E Bao.Baidu,the search engine company,began marketing investment products in October.
              "Internet companies,with their ability to instantly reach millions of consumers,have already started to change the competitive dynamic in finance,"says Ernan Cui,an analyst with GK Dragonomics,a Beijing-based research firm.

              72.In the first paragraph,what does the underlined part‘He is far from alone'mean?    
              A.li Mingyang lives far away from banks.
              B.Few people have transferred their money to the online fund.
              C.Not so many people have so much money.
              D.Many people have done the same as Mr.Li.
              73.If Rmb12,000is deposited in Chinese banks,then how much money will flow into Yu'E Bao accounts according to the passage?    
              A.Rmb 10       
              B.Rmb 100
              C.Rmb 1,000    
              D.Rmb 10,000
              74.As Yu'E Bao has become so powerful as a platform for its users,what other Chinese e-commerce groups will do in the future?    
              A.They think there's no point in keeping money in the bank any more.
              B.They will transfer all their money to the online fund.
              C.They will make their companies more state-protected.
              D.They will also design online platforms and throw themselves into such dynamic finance.
              75.What's the writer's attitude towards the e-commerce gr oup as a platform for its users to manage payment accounts?    
              A.objective    
              B.not so promising    
              C.negative   
              D.troublesome.
            • 3. You're happy to let your best friend borrow your mountain bike,but would you be willing to loan it out to a total stranger if you could make some money off the arrangement?
              That's the idea behind peer-to-peer (P2P) renting,a new model conducted by sites such as eBay and Craigslist.Instead of selling an idle (闲置) thing,you loan it to people in your town,get paid a small rental fee and get it back when the borrower's done with it.In the past few years,almost a dozen websites have popped up piwmsing to connect lenders and borrowers.For instance,you can use GetAround to rent out your car or motorcycle,SnapGoods to rent out electronics and gadgets,ToolSpinner to rent electric drills and lawnmowers,Zaarly and Knb to rent out a little bit of everything else.
              Old as it may sound,P2P renting is more high-tech than before,with websites that avoid cash for credit cards.A user creates an online listing for the item she wants to rent out,choosing her own rental fee.When someone wants the item,he keeps it on an online calendar,and the two arrange a time and place for pickup.Each site operates a little differently,but all use technology to make renting easy,safe and relatively inexpensive.
              Why rent your stuff?You may not make a ton of money,but it is a good way to get some use,out of idle things.The people who rent those goods are able to save thousands of dollars by renting instead of buying new.
              There may be other benefits."It brings convenience,security and adventure,"says All Hart,JustSharclt's spokesperson."But,more important,we're really connecting people and building community,too."
                  Get to know your neighbors and make a few bucks in the process?Sounds like a good deal.

              A.the companies selling idle things
              B.the special people good at P2P renting
              C.the websites for P2P renting

            • 4. We're looking for personality
              HAVE you ever made a profit from walking a dog?Do you like working alone or in groups?Have you ever set a world record in anything?Answer those the right way and you could land a job at Google.
              In its desperate search for more engineers and sales representatives for its rapidly growing business,Google has created an automated way to look through the more than 100,000 job applications it receives each month.
              Instead of simply looking for people with straight-As,it's starting to ask applicants to fill out an in-depth online survey that examines their attitude,behavior and personality.
              Questions concern everything from the age the applicant first got excited about computers to whether the person has ever tutored.They also seek out non-traditional information.This can include what magazines the applicant subscribes to or what pets that person has.
              The answers are fed into a series of formulas created by Google's mathematicians that spit out a score from zero to 100.This is meant to predict how well a person will fit into the freewheeling,competitive company culture.
              "Google has doubled its number of employees in each of the last three years.As we get bigger,we find it harder and harder to find enough people,'said Laszlo Bock,Google's vice-president for people operations."Interviews are a terrible predictor of performance.With traditional hiring methods,we might overlook some of the best candidates,"he said..
              The online survey is based on the answers to 300questions sent out last summer to every employee at the head office in California's Silicon Valley.Now about 15per cent of applicants take the survey.It will be used for all applicants starting this month.
              Whether this method will help Google find the right people is yet to be seen."We wanted to cast a very wide net,"said Bock."It is not unusual to walk the halls here at our office in Silicon Valley and bump into dogs.Maybe people who own dogs have some personality trait that is useful."

              60.In terms of finding the right people,the passage is mainly about    
              A.Google's attempts            B.Google's success
              C.Google's results             D.Google's failure
              61.What is not included in the online survey?    
              A.attitude     B.behavior    C.grades   D.personality.
              62.Why does the author mention dog owners?    
              A.Dog owners like to work at Google.
              B.Dog owners make the workplace happier.
              C.Dog owners are more clever than other people.
              D.Dog owners have a non-traditional personality.
