Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that the has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering (改变) the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with an amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his lift, smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high —heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonder, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy ant instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability ^rid reliability? That is for you to decide.51 Designers and big stores always make money___.A. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothingB. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryC. because they are able to predict new fashions for the coming seasonD. because they attach great importance to quality of women's clothing52 To the writer, the fact that women alter their old fashioned dresses is seen as_____.A a waste of moneyB an expression of tasteC a waste of timeD expression of creativity53 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A The fashion industry makes an important contribution to societyB The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of charactersC Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by womenD. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women54 By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" the writer means that___A. women are better able to put up with discomfortB. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atBRecently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you'll know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that the big wetlands surrounding the canal in certain areas were a great breeding(繁殖) ground for mosquitoes. In an attempt to solve some of the mosquito problems, the surrounding wetlands were drained and filled. Various methods were used. This task was so big that the first two years of building the canal were largely dedicated to getting rid of the mosquitoes. In the end, these efforts were a success. By 1906,yellow fever was virtually wiped out in canal areas and the number of deaths caused by the other top disease, malaria, was also reduced significantly.With all these new health measures, the canal area has become one of the healthiest regions in the world. With the leadership of Gorgas, the department of sanitation helped to make the canal construction possible.59. This passage is mainly about______.A. the health measures during the construction of the Panama CanalB. the leadership of Gorgas in the construction of the Panama CanalC. the first two years of American control in the Panama CanalD. the process of the construction of the Panama Canal60. Led by Gorgas, many departments were set up to do various tasks except___.A inspect sanitationB watch over health mattersC take charge of hospitals D. enjoy labor force61. What Colonel William C. Gorgas thought most important was to____.A. remove the grasses and bushesB. establish quarantine equipmentC. destroy mosquitoesD. attend to sick laborers in hospitals62. The author tells the readers that___.A yellow fever and malaria are caused by waters and wetlandsB the wiping out of yellow fever reduced the number of malaria deathsC. the climate in the canal areas was suitable for mosquitoes to growD. the two-year sanitation work stopped the outbreak of yellow feverDIt's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things.After all, squeezing past others sometimes can't be avoided, and the bus driver is merely doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people.People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would beexceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing 1 observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me. my employers stressed several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to ^^women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men. Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.63. What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?A. He appreciates itB. He gives no personal opinionC. He thinks it is artificialD. He thinks it goes too far.64. What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in Germany?A. It's always a retail assistant who says thank you.B. A customer never says thank you to a retail assistant.C. They always say thank you to each other.D. They may say thank you only once.65 We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men_.A. are more likely to be involved in a fighting.B. are not so willing to spend money for women.C. are more polite than English men.D. treat women in a polite way.66 The author develops the text through the method of_.A. giving comments B .telling storiesC. making comparisonsD. giving reasonsEWhether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes s a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.Effective leadership is one of the most important components of good teamwork. The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other's opinions.Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself/herself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviors on the leader's part can be disastrous.Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.67.
