Part III Reading Comprehension (30%)

Passage One

The qualities of leadership are almost constant the world over. If you would like to become president of your class, school, or student council, you must first demonstrate that you have the potentials of leadership.

For one thing, you must show that you are interested in your school and in your fellow students. In practical terms, this means taking an active part in school activities. It means joining clubs, attending dances and other social functions, and going out for athletics --- if you are athletic. (1) But many young people have to push themselves to join clubs or attend dances. Perhaps you are one of them. The basic reason for this hesitancy is natural shyness. There is nothing whatever wrong with shyness; it can be overcome if you recognize that it is not a permanent affliction (苦恼)，and if you realize, too, that most if your schoolmates are probably as shy as you are.

If you consciously strive (努力) to overcome shyness by going out to meet people, you will find yourself at the same time developing another quality of leadership--- understanding. As your circle of friends and contacts widens you will get to know your schoolmates better. Because you are no longer so concerned with your own feeling, you will begin to respect and take into account the feelings of others. Your friends and acquaintances (熟人) will be ware of your new attitude, for it will show in many small ways--- your greeting, conversation, and willingness to give and accept friendship.

Another quality of leadership which you can develop is willingness to do a bit extra. If you are expected to sell ten tickets to a dance, for example, and sell fifteen, you have proves your interest and your effort to make your organization successful. Once you acquire the reputation of always doing a little more than expected, your fellow students will be willing to trust you with greater responsibilities. All your extra effort also indicates enthusiasm, and shows that you concentrate more on how to do a job efficiently than on its difficulties.

A fourth quality of leadership is imagination--- the ability to see a way through problems and to develop new ideas. You can develop this all important quality by devoting extra thought during quiet moments to problems being faces by your organization. Many members of club sit passively through a meeting, and give no more thought to club matters until the next meeting, you are likely to come up with new ideas (or at least some questions) to contribute at the next meeting.

As you show that you are interested in your school or organization, that you have understanding and respect for your schoolmates, and that you will work hard and use your imagination, your schoolmates will naturally think of you as one of their leaders. When the time comes for election of class or student body officers, you will be mentioned as a possible candidate by your closer friends , and this word will reach other groups until you are given a chance to declare yourself a candidate without seeming immodest.

61. This article _______.

A) discusses how a person can develop qualities of leadership

B) indicates various ways a good leader can make friends and influence people

C) analyzes the responsibilities of leadership

Passage Two

Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in

their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.

In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist

（不动摇）in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to

appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.

When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers”did poorly. More than this, they

seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.

The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers”were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic（疯人）.

The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these

young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly

bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”

Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted （向）, inhibited （压抑）,

passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves （particularly in social situations）. Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.

66. According to the report,________.

A）many short sleepers need less sleep by nature

B）many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time becausethey are busy with their work

C）long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day

D）many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood

67. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that ________.

A）sleep is a withdrawal from the reality

B）sleep interferes with their sound judgment

C）sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program

D）sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles

68. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers ________.

A）are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of life

B）often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep

C）do not know how to relax properly

D）are more unlikely to run into mental problems

69. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might________.

A）appear disturbed

B）become energetic

C）feel dissatisfied

D）be extremely depressed

70. Which of the following is Not included in the passage?

A）If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened B）The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown by many mental patients

C）Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep

D）Short sleepers would be better off with more rest

Passage Three

Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is athief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch. But when two Chinese begin to dig a tunnel from

both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side. --The Chinese’s firm belief is that it doesn’t matter so long as a tunnel is dug through, and if we have two instead of one, why, we have

a double track to boot.

The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. But, worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. （This sort of thing is bound to come to China, as is evident, for instance, in the case of a factory of twenty thousand worker. The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.）Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement.

A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o’clock has the whole afternoon from one

to five ruined for him already. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the

schoolboy - three o’clock for this, five o’clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and seven o’clock for arriving at the destination. It just makes life not worth living.

71. The writer objects to efficiency mainly on the grounds that it ________.

A）entitles us to too much leisure time

B）urges us to get things done punctually

C）deprives us of leisure time

D）imposes on us a perfect concept of time

72. In the eyes of the author, the introduction of industrial life gives rise to ________.

A）the excitement of life

B）magnificent idling of time

C）more emphasis on efficiency

D）terrifying schoolboy

73. The passage tells us ________.

A）Chinese workers come to work when it is convenient

B）all Americans are forced to be efficient against their will

C）Chinese engineers are on better terms with the management

D）Americans ought not to work so hard for efficiency

74. The author believes that relaxing the rule of punctuality in factories would lead to ________. A）great confusion

B）increased production

C）a hard and exciting life

D）successful completion of a tunnel

75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that ________.

A）every American is arranging his time in the pattern of a schoolboy

B）every American is reluctant to be efficient

C）every one should have some time to spend as he pleases

D）being punctual is an undesirable habit which should not be formed
