11、today,reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must readletters,reports,trade publications,interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers andmagazines:a never-ending flood of words.In21a job or advancing in one,the ability toread and comprehend22can mean the difference betwee

13、ses,sentences and paragraphs.26,however,the untrained reader doesnot read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time,often regressing（退回）to27words or passages.Regression,the tendency to look back over what you have just read,isa common bad habit in reading.Another habit which28down the

20、there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer.C and D.Choose the best answer.Passage 1Passage 1A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes,as a rule,to have it retold in almost thesame words,but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as forma

21、l texts.It isalways much better to tell a story than read it out of a book,and,if a parent can produce what,inthe actual situation of the time and the child,is an improvement on the printed text,so much thebetter.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or mak

22、inghim sad thinking.To prove the latter,one would have to show in a controlled experiment thatchildren who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not.Asto fears,there are,I think,some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story.Often,howeve

23、r,this arises(出现)from the child having heard the story once.Familiarity with thestory by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectivelytrue,that giants,witches,two-headed

24、dragons,magic carpets,etc.do not exist;and that,instead ofbeing fond of the strange side in fairy tales,the child should be taught to learn the reality bystudying history.I find such people,I must say so peculiar(奇怪的)that I do not know how toargue with them.If their case were sound,the world should

25、be full of mad men attempting to flyfrom New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that itwas their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has everbelieved that it was.36.The author consid

26、ers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _.A.repeated without any changeB.treated as a jokeC.made some changes by the parentD.set in the present37.According to the passage,great fear can take place in a child when the story is _.A.in a realistic settingB.heard for the first timeC.repeated

27、 too oftenD.told in a different way38.The advantage claimed(提出)for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _.A.makes them less fearfulB.develops their power of memoryC.makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD.encourages them not to have strange beliefs39.The authors mention

28、of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _.A.fairy stories are still being made upB.there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC.people try to modernize old fairy storiesD.there is more concern for childrens fears nowadays40.One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy

29、tales is that _.A.they are full of imaginationB.they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC.they are not interestingD.they make teachers of history difficult to teachPassage 2Passage 2There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health andwealth and o

30、ther comforts of life,one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arisesfrom the different ways in which they consider things,persons,events and the resulting effectsupon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things:the pleasant partsof conversatio

31、n,the well prepared dishes,the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.Theyenjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the oppositethings.Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasure ofsociety,offend(hurt)many people,and

32、make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn ofmind was founded in nature,such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intentionof criticizing(批评)and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into ahabit,unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong,but it m

33、ay be cured when those whohave it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be ofservice to them,and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,it has serious results in life since itbrings on deep sorrow and bad lu

34、ck.Those people offend many others;nobody loves them,and noone treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently putsthem in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages insocial position or fortune,nobody wishes them success.Nor wil

35、l anyone start a step or speak aword to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselvespublic objections,no one will defend orexcuse them,and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this badhabit and be pleased with what is pleasing,without worrying needlessly about themselve

36、s andothers.If they do not,it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触)with them.Otherwise,it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,especially when one becomes mixed upin their quarrels.41.People who are unhappy _.A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are aff

37、ected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things42.The phrase“sour the pleasure of society”most nearly means“_”.A.have a good taste with social life B.make others unhappyC.tend so scold others openly D.enjoy

39、abit,the author suggests that people should_.A.prevent any communication with themB.show no respect and politeness to themC.persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes45.In this passage,the writer mainly _.A.describes two types of peopleB.laughs at t

40、he unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD.tells people how to be happy in lifePassage 3Passage 3Five years ago,David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“I was a clothesaddict,”he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I co

41、uld change if my clothes gotwrinkled.”Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office.He hardlyever wears a necktie.“Im working harder than ever,”David says,“and I need to feelcomfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to

42、 work inthe United States.The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.In the early1990s,many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only onFriday).This became known as“dress-down Friday”of“casual Friday”.“What started out as anextra one-day-a-week be

43、nefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.”said businessconsultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?Onereason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.“Alot of young people don

44、t want to dress up for work,”says the owner of a software company,“soits hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.”Another reason is that people seemhappier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.In a study conducted byLevi Strauss and Company,85 percent of em

45、ployers said that they believe that casual dressimproves employee morale.Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negativeimpact on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helpsthem save money.“Suits are expensive,if you have to wear one ever
