I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short routewith a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrongtickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at theend of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from theinspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. Aconductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if aninspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Insidethe bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feetweren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out ofmy eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even knowwhere we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before MarketStreet. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surgedforward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but Ithought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not goton. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus.The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around anold lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus.The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew noneof this at the time.When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly.1.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.2.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasn't tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldn't move.3.The old lady in the incident described ________.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head4.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected5.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly,impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.6.According to the author, living in a city causes stress becausethere are so many people who are ________.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime7.The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because________.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC. people feel anonymous thereD. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals8.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit fromthe inner areas because they ________.A. dislike having to travel far to workB. have been forced by circumstances to do soC. don't like the idea of living in the suburbsD. have turned against society9.Architectural changes have affected city life by ________.A. scattering long-established communitiesB. giving the individual a say in planningC. forcing people to live on top of each otherD. making people move to the suburbs10.The author's general argument is that urban life would beimproved by ________.A. moving people out of tower blocksB. restoring old buildingsC. building community centersD. preserving existing social systemsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don't pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheerpressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11.The author decided to go to university and study Zoologybecause ________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time12.How is the author different from some of the other wildlifephotographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive aspossible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate naturalconditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.13.The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wildanimals because ________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars14.According to the author, wildlife photography is importantbecause it can make people realize that ________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals15.Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives and what they see on TV-if they are even able to watch TV.The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching.A third big difference is between the drama detective and the real life ones. Detectives are subject to two opposing pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave withabsolute legality (合法); secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their time is spent re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.16.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law________.A. so that he can catch criminals in the streetsB. because many of the criminals he has to catch aredangerousC. so that he can justify his arrests in courtD. because he has to know nearly as much about law as aprofessional lawyer17.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ________.A. exciting and mysteriousB. full of dangerC. devoted mostly to routine mattersD. wasted on unimportant matters18.When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police________.A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself awayB. work hard to track down the criminalsC. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up theirreputationD. usually fail to produce results19.The real detective lives in an unusual moral climate because________.A. he is an expensive public servantB. he must always behave with absolute legalityC. he is obliged to break the law in order to preserve itD. he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the world20.Detectives are rather cynical because ________.A. nine-tenths of their work involves arresting peopleB. hardly anyone tells them the truthC. society does not punish criminals severely enoughD. D too many criminals escape from jail。

In my opinion, many people today actually use the additional free time that technology has created for working more, rather than for interacting with net friends or for other meaningless activities. For instance, many people have formed the habit of checking company emails frequently even during their off-work hours;they are disturbed by cell phone calls concerning work wherever they are even on weekends; they are obliged to bring their computers with them even when going on a vacation. They never seem to have real freedom after work owing to the advancement of technology and the popularization of modern communications devices. However, although they live in such constant chaos, the truth is, this kind of life allows them no chance to spend time wastefully, and it often contributes to their career development and makes them more productive.

The main reason is that people now have to face more pressure, and cope with the fast-paced modern life. As a result, they feel anxious all the time and have no mood to enjoy life.·No,I don't quite agree. To me, whether people feel happier or not depends on what age they are. Older people may be mostly happier than before because their lives have become much more comfortable after living standards improved.Children may also be happier than in the past because they have more toys to play with and more places to go for fun.Young people may be the only group that feels less happy because today they have to compete for everything.2.•Yes,I do feel that it is hard for me to feel happy nowadays. Probably this is because as I grow older,I don't get excited easily anymore. When we were little, happiness could be something simple and easy. A candy or a toy would cheer us up and make us happy for a whole day. But now it's hard for us to have this feeling, and we often ignore a lot of good things in our life.·No.I don't think it's hard for me to feel happy today. I'm a very cheerful and optimistic person. Even if I fail to do something. I always choose to see the bright side. To me.there is no point being unhappy. It will only make things worse.

Also (S2) known as a virtual business, the SOHO has not evolved beyond the idea of an (S3) independent business person who has a few support stall members. Business (S4)enterprises that are large are often called Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.Before the19th century and the (S5)spread of the industrial revolution around the globe, (S6) nearly all offices were small offices or home offices, with only a few exceptions. Most businesses were small, and (S7) so was the amount of paperwork that went with their business activities.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term ―Small or Home Office‖ and (S8) the acronym SOHO have been used t to great extent by companies that sell products to large number of small business with a small-sized office.Some products are often designed specifically for the SOHO market. (S9) Many books are written and sold specifically for this type of office to tell people how to equip a small office.Nowadays many consultants, lawyers, and real estate agents in small and medium- sized towns operate from such home offices.(S10) In the field of software development, engineers often have to work 20 hours or more at a stretch, so they can hardly adapt to normal office hours. They often work in small offices to have more freedom.Task3: The Role of Job DescriptionsScriptPeople who don’t understand what their employers expect them to do may be headed for one of the most common and yet most avoidable career traps. If your boss doesn’t take the time to explain properly what you are expected to do in your position. Then keep asking questions until you know precisely what it is. Don’t limit your questions to matter of everyday routine. Lee Colby, a management consultant based in Minneapolis, offers his advice. He says you can ask more significant questions like,―What a re our departmwnt’s goals? How does my work fit in with the overall objective of the company?‖That method helped Lisa James, an assistant manager at an electronics company. When James was transferred to a new department seven years ago, she found herself not only working for the manager of quality control, but assisting three other managers. Because the job was both demanding and ill-defined, James had to put in ten-hour days as well as take work home. To clarify what was expected of her and what she hoped to get from her job in terms of career department, she drafted a list of goals in collaboration with her principal boss. The list proved so well though out that her boss used it as the basis for her annual performance reviews. Shortly afterwards, she was given a raise for her efficient work.If your boss is vague about what your goals should be, try this technique suggested by Atkin Simon, director of a Boston-based management-consulting firm: Read your position description, which most large firms provide, and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.1.If your boss does not describe your job responsibility clearly, what can you do?2.What kind of questions can you ask about your job?3.When James was transferred to a new department, how many managers did shehave to work for?4.With whom did James draft a list of goals?5. How was her list of goals received?Keys: 1B 2.D3. D 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceRead your position description and identify the two or three most important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.IV.

What’s so special about your new product?Dick:Well, could you arrange for me to meet your boss Linda? Then I’ll go into details.Jenny: OK, when can you come?Dick:I was hoping to get together with Linda this week, if possible. I want to get going on this right away.Jenny: Let me check her timetable…Yes, she’s completely free ThursdayDick: Why not meet at about ten in the morning at your office?Jenny: Sound good. Let me say it again: We’ll look forward to seeing you at ten on Thursday.Dick: I’m sure it’ll be a rewarding meeting. Thank you. Good-bye.[Later]Jenny: Hello. Is Dick there, please?Dick: Hello. Dick speaking.Jenny:Hi, Dick, this is Jenny. Something unexpected has come up. I’m afraid we have to postpone the meeting with you on Thursday.Dick: That’s disappointing. When can we meet?Jenny: Linda has to put the meeting off until sometime on Friday. Will that suit you? Dick: I’m afraid I can’t go on Friday. I’ll be flying to another city on business. Jenny: Then could you come after five on Thursday?Dick: Certainly, Can we make it five thirty then?Jenny: Five thirty’s perfect. Linda will be waiting for you at five thirty on Thursday. Dick: Ok. Great! Thanks. Bye.V. Let’s TalkScriptLillian: Mr. Baxter, you have worked in the company for five years, and you manage everything here smoothly, like a clock. Could you tell us the secret of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is location, location, location, the golden rule of work is relationships, relationships, relationships. Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list. When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document. The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of the report?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly. Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note.Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: ―Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.‖Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. ―Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.‖Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, ―Recognize.‖This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖For Reference1.They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin,and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3.The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖So, the new CEO held a pressconference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4.The message read, ―Recognize.‖ The new CEO did it, and the company quicklyrebounded.5. The meager said, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖ It implied that it was time for Martin to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.News ReportA Wearable TranslatorScriptThe inability to communicate in a foreign language is a problem that many international travelers face. But now, a Minnesota company is developing a system that would make this a problem of the past.Minneapolis-based Via is the company behind the ―Mobile Language Translation System‖, or MLTS. But they are not the only company trying to develop real-time computer translation. IBM is promoting a new high-speed text translation system, and NEC is working on software that provides rapid voice translations from English to Japanese and vice versa.But Via CEO Ed McConaghay says that the biggest difficulty in developing MLTS hs been to combine existing technology with bidirectional capability and portable packaging.[SOUND BITE]A translator demonstrates just how MLTS works.The translations take about five seconds and are not always perfect. However, the text translation on the screen can help users get the general idea of a conversation. [SOUND BITE]In the future, MLTS may be able to assist military personnel in communicating with foreign language speakers in the field.This system may also be of help to border patrol officers, airport personnel, and local law enforcement.Eventually, though, the device will be available to travelers or anyone in the general public who would like to communicate with a foreign friend.。

The résumé is a tool with one specific purpose: to win an interview. If it does what the fantasy résumé did, it works. If it doesn't, it isn't an effective résumé. A résumé is an advertisement, nothing more, nothing less.
It is targeted. A resume should be targeted to your goal, to the ideal next step in your career. First you should get clear what your job goal is, what the ideal position or positions would be. Then you should figure out what key skills, areas of expertise or body of experience the employer will be looking for in the candidate.
