AIt all started on a Friday morning at the office. Our company was under pressure dealing with unexpected changes in our new business plan. So to regain some clear thoughts, I decided to spend my lunch hour at gym. Luckily, during the workout(锻炼), my mind did quiet down as I just allowed myself to focus on my exercise, and so on, gained some peace.Soon afterwards though, the reality of our challenging working world returned to my awareness. My earlier anxiety-filled thoughts returned and again my mind was flooded with all new challenges! Seeking some additional comfort before heading back to the office, I said a silent prayer while seated on the locker room bench. Soon I felt refreshed.Then as I rose to leave, I heard a low voice calling out “Help me…help me.”behind a bench. I quickly went over to him to offer assistance. Upon arrival, I took hold of his hand and brought him back up, and along with the help of another gym member, we righted his bench and sat him down on it. He thanked us both a lot.Later that afternoon, as my mind began to further clear, a buried vision was brought sharply back into focus! That man I had called out earlier! Once the fog had lifted on that veiled memory I could now recall: When I first entered the locker room there had had been his voice calling out. But I did not “see him” as I was too caught up in my own personal affair. I was not until I had cleared my mind and returned to the present moment that I finally heard his cry for help!A. help someone in needB. pray for his companyC. get himself refreshedD. strengthen his bodyA. stood up immediatelyB. went to the corner quicklyC. asked a gym member to helpD. looked about the room at first23. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Folded.B. Bent.C. Fallen.D. Hidden.A. make ourselves refreshed soonB. help those who help themselvesC. help us gain some inner peaceD. sometimes blind us to others’ needsBMany people find themselves caught up in other’s problems, and then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting.1. Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.2. Express the limits clearly.For example, you say to your friend, “I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own pla ce before the three weeks is up.”3. Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/ her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/ She gets emotional and then says, "I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it."Limit setting is often stressed and painful because people mistake it for rejection. And limit setting c ertainly brings guilt. Bear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) manner.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friendsD. breaking away from your friendA. announce it publicly to othersB. tell your friend about it clearlyC. he responsible for your friendD. breaking away from your friendA. is often misunderstoodB. is actually a kind of rejectionC. does harm to your friendshipD. contains both love and hate28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendship.B. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friends.D. Show your love in a new wayCClearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we arelikely to have conversations: we give information or opinions, receive news or comment.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the leading factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed(使失色) by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged(有特权的) minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes. Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.A. the places humans can have conversations inB. the information humans can convey by speechC. the usefulness of face-to-face contact in societyD. the diversity of human communicationA. local news used to be the only source of informationB. local news still takes a significant placeC. national news is becoming more popularD. international news is the fastest transmitted news31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. To possess information used to be a privilege.B. Public libraries have replaced private libraries.C. Communication means more than transmission.D. Information influences ways of life and thinking.A. interested in harmful influence of the mass mediaB. happy about the great changes in the mass mediaC. pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD. not worried about the wrong use of the mass mediaDOne of the great dilemmas(两难困境) that business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs have to deal with is whether the shoe should fit the foot, or the foot should fit the shoe. This is a real-world problem, and it requires some real-world thinking.One of my clients has an easy-going style. He is also very sales-oriented. The first people he hired for his company were sales people. They were used to sales commissions, a sales structure, a sales culture, and a sales environment. The people he hired later on, however, were less competitive.Over time, it became clear that the environment he’d built for the first wave of employees wasn’t working all that well for second wave. The second group of people simply wasn’t responding to the sales commissions and structure that we’d set up. Why? T he people in the second group weren’t really sales people. They were project managers who were also responsible for some selling.We had a hard discussion about whether we needed to hire people who fit the initial sales-oriented culture that we’d set up, o r we needed to adjust our culture to motivate employees whose primary area of expertise wasn’t sales.Because of the company’s location, the owner had a limited workforce from which he could choose. Thus, we decided to shape the company around the candidates that we had. I personally prefer this approach, since I’m not a fan of “combination people” ―people who perform more than one function, such as project management and sales. We separated the responsibilities and changed the way we structured the working environment. The change we made worked much better than the “old” system.So, as you are working hard every day to build your company, or as you’re building your career, you need to make careful and deliberate choices. Developing a company culture that works is one of those growing pains that every successful business experiences.A. studies selling and designingB. owns several large companiesC. advises and helps companiesD. works in sales and marketingA. were looked down on by other employeesB. were good at managing the companyC. showed little interest in sellingD. weren’t really sales peopleA. let the foot fit the shoeB. let the shoe fit the footC. employ more “combination people”D. move the company to a new location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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
