5、 be preferable or necessary at the Istart, but the lease on the building must be examined carefully before it is signed.

6、prospects from the owner s records.

8、urce of advice. Several of its programs are designed to help new owners with the advice and expertise of retired executives.

9、ence extremely satisfying. The realization that their efforts will produce actual results in the form of profit, success, and pride can be quite motivating.

14、hat is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own block

15、s of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to 4bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而)，as easy facilities for dis

16、posal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对,对抗)individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as B

17、ritain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想)that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation.

23、to know each other because they are a scattered communityD) have to spend more money and time traveling to work every dayQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageMost people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increas

24、e in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define wisdom and consider means of promoting it.There are several factors that contribute to wisdom.

25、each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians.

26、e whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have 7outside the field of medicine.

28、from a disinterested (无利害关系的)desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强)our capacity for realizing our p
