A study done at the Wharton School examined data on several thousand firms and found that downsizing had little or no effect on earnings or stock market performance.

The study revealed that, unlike those in the United States and Canada, the European firms lost jobs in the long term because their returns to shareholders fell between 1970 and 1990.Although long-run growth is a pleasant prospect for shareholders, the shortterm loss of jobs and income has left many employees and their families struggling in the aftermath of downsizing.The term "downsizing" in this passage means.A.just cutting down to sizeB.producing smaller models or stylesC.cutting jobs and positions for higher performance and profitsD.cutting down on incentive programsLonely people can easily become lonelier because they tend to.Industrial products are often the result of according to the passage.A.laboratory workB.market surveyC.commercial researchD.business growth五、5.Error Correction。题） 34.S1035.The role of the farmer has always been an important one. Two hundred years ago, 95% of American workers were farmers. Agriculture is SiAmerica's biggest industry. Today, less than 3% of American workers are farmers. Yet agriculture still is America's biggest industry, it employs more workers than any other industry, and it produces more food than Americans can consume enough to make the United States the world's largest importerS2 of agricultural goods. American farmers used to grow only enough food to feed their families and animals. Now each farmer grows enough to feed 78 other people. American farmers produce more today because they have to use modern farm and business methods. This means they have to know moreS3 than ever before. They still learn about soil, the weather, harmless insects,S4 and plant and animal diseases, but they also must learn about economics, international trade, and even computers. It has said that farming in AmericaS5 today is three fourths paper work and one fourth physical labor. Because of this, American farmers now are able to work for more years. In the past, most were old and tired of by the time they were about 40. Today , S6 however, the average age of the American farmer is 48 -five years older than the averag6 age of other American workers. Almost all new farmers in the United states have completed at most 12 years of schooling, and manyS7 young Americans study agriculture at a state university. The federal government provided with the establishment of these schools in a law signedS8 by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862. Today there is a so-called land-grant university in each state. The land-grant law also created the cooperative extension service. This is a series of local .offices around the country thatinforms farmers about the latest developments in agriculture.

Better health care is available S9 and education is no longer reserving for the children from S10 wealthy families.Si参考答案l.No Pains No Gains Nearly every civilization has its own equivalent to the proverb "No pains no gains." It means that nothing that is really worth doing can be gained without painstaking efforts and that no knowledge or skill can be acquired without sweat or toil. You don!t have to look very far to prove the truth of the proverb. Darwin's great discovery was not the work of a moment but was preceded by years of patient arduous observation. Mozart was not an accomplished pianist at the age of eight as the result of watching countless hours of TV. Nor did Edison make himself the greatest inventor in the modem world by spending his spare time on going to parties and bars. His words "Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration1 reveal the secret of thousands of successful men and women. All accomplishments and success they achieved without exception come from sustained endeavor. Although it is an old saying and its illustration is mainly found in famous people no pains no gains also has its profound and realistic significance in our college studies. To have a good grade in a course to acquire knowledge in a particular field and to attain any academic goals-all requires great exertion and persistent effort.No Pains No Gains Nearly every civilization has its own equivalent to the proverb "No pains no gains.n It means that nothing that is really worth doing can be gained without painstaking efforts and that no knowledge or skill can be acquired without sweat or toil.

Whether to raise the retirement age has become a hot topic nowadays. Many people see increasing the retirement age as a way to help address the financial challenges in the social security fund. And they say there are compelling demographic reasons for such a change 一 increased life spans increased working capabilities and a structural demand for experienced labor. However many more were against raising the retirement age. They argue that the pension fund has a surplus now. Besides a prolonged life span doesn't necessarily mean that people are able to work longer. More importantly raising the retirement age would put more strain on the already grave employment situation. Adding working years for those now employed would mean fewer openings for the new job seekers who are younger and healthier. Personally I think the government should raise the retirement age only when there is severe labor shortage relatively high pension payments or the government is in a fiscal crisis. However it's apparent that our country now has none of these three scenarios. Therefore I don't think it necessary to raise the official retirement age at present.Should Retirement Age Be Raised?

To help others when they are in difficulties is considered to be a virtue in our country. Even in today's society in which people tend to value money more than ever before some people help others out in a crisis even risking their lives. However many others choose to keep silence and turn a blind eye to a crisis. They think that to take up the cudgels for a just cause often bring themselves into danger and whats more the help given can not bring them any benefits but hurt. From time to time news comes that some heroic actions are not recognized by the government and those heroes cannot get any rewards from either those who get help or the government. Even worse some heroes are seriously wounded but are let alone in hospitals having no money to pay for the large amount of medical fees. In my opinion to take up the cudgels for a just cause is the duty of every one of us as social beings. Suppose we ourselves are in danger do we want help from others? Meanwhile rewards from the government should be more generous not only for those who have already sacrificed their lives but also for those who are willing to give others a hand. It is also important to call on people to learn from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime and crises. Then we can create a society rich in not only wealth but warmth.Are You Ready to Take up the Cudgels for a Just Cause?

I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next term. I would prefer a single room as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient. I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate's inconsiderate behavior. For one thing his friends are constantly visiting him and noisy parties are frequently held. For another he plays his loudspeaker too loud and too late. In addition he sometimes takes my things without my permission. Under these circumstances I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies and I am falling behind in my assignments. Worse I become more nervous and depressed as soon as I enter my room. I am sure you will understand my situation and agree that the only solution is
