I had never been late and didnt want my boss to be unsatisfied.However, it seemed that day wasnt a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.     On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.     Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office.     At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件). 26. Which of the following is NOT the reason of the writer being late for her work? A. She got up late in the morning. B.

There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st. California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices. The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell. The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here.The 41-cent increase would add to Californias already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing.30. Who will be hurt by high milk prices?A. Young people. B. Milk producers from outside California. C. Rich people. D. Families with lots of children.31. What caused milk prices in California to increase?A. Short supplies from other states. B. Being short of rain. C. The California court. D. Childrens need for milk. 32. What will California do to keep milk prices down?A. Force milk producers to lower their price. B. Encourage people to drink less milk.C. Get men to produce more rain. D. Increase the supply of milk in the state.DThe word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won't find it in the dictionaryIt means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own lifeLook at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-abilityEffective people are proactive because they take responsibilityTheir behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelingsFor instance, you are planning a picnic with your familyYou're excitedYou have all the preparationsYou've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your planProactive people carry weather within themThey realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situationThe opposite of being proactive is to be reactiveReactive people would say, "What's the use?" "We can't do anything" "Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements" They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelledBeing proactive is really just being true to your human natureYour basic nature is to act, and not to be acted uponThat's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human natureDeterminism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditionsThe language of reactive people is like: " I can't" " Don't have time" " I have to" " I must" The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibilityThey think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic （基因的） makeupPsychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of controlThey're not in charge of their life at allOn the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his valuesIn that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them33According to the passage, a proactive person's behavior can result from _Athe environment. Ban inner belief.Cthe genetic makeup. Da temporary feeling.34When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably _A. have the picnic as planned.Bmake the best of the picnic.Ccomplain and give up the picnic. Dfind somewhere else for the picnic.35It can be concluded from the passage that determinists _Aaccept things passively. Bare in charge of themselves.C are similar to proactive people. Drespond to outside conditions actively.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone wants to be confident, but maybe we just dont know how to be.
