13、hensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00)It s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indi

14、cated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isnt it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed. I remem

15、ber a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs; headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me what s worrying you, I cant help you.“ After some hesitation,

16、the man confessed that, as executor of his father s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then

17、went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you,“ he said, “I think I m cured.“ And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from y

Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when

22、it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that. The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He

23、 can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development. Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establis

24、h a meaningful working relationship with your boss? The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities(优先的事). Observe and understand your boss s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he

25、 understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you. In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.（分数：10.00）(1).The m

26、ain idea of the first paragraph is that_.（分数：2.00）A.bosses are hard to deal withB.bosses have good characterC.bosses determine your career futureD.bosses must have similar personality(2).In the second paragraph, “rise up the career ladder“(Line 2)means_.（分数：2.00）A.going to work abroadB.changing jobs

29、 CriticismD.How to Accomplish Your Boss s ObjectiveMost of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth“. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers cant be bad for us. However, encouragement of cr

30、itical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their ow

31、n beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. 11 does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises(前提)are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professo

32、rs personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don t tell you

33、 what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. M

34、any professors interpret it as rudeness.（分数：10.00）(1).In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people_.（分数：2.00）A.easily accept certain things without a second thoughtB.grow up through learning certain things in lifeC.are forming their views during their growthD.have strong beliefs i

35、n authorities while getting old(2).Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to_.（分数：2.00）A.criticize othersB.share professors beliefsC.give their own ideasD.change their own beliefs(3).The word “shaky“(Line 1, Para.3)most probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.creativeB.firmC.falseD.weak(4

36、).To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them_.（分数：2.00）A.choice of their premisesB.the way to think independentlyC.skills of drawing conclusionsD.different kinds of arguments(5).According to the writer, the right way to argue is to_.（分数：2.00）A.argue mainly for the

37、 sake of arguingB.prove it with a good conclusionC.support your idea with sound reasoningD.examine others ideas criticallyNow let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fi

38、xate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop the duration of the fixation-varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading a

39、nd his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness. Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely vis

40、ual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some centr

41、al point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it s one thing to improve a person s ability to see words and

42、quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiendy. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a perso

43、n to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.（分数：10.00）(1).The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except_.（分数：2.00）A.one s familiarity with the textB.one s purpose in readingC.the length of a group of wordsD.lighti

44、ng and tiredness(2).The author may believe that reading_.（分数：2.00）A.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB.requires a reader to see words more quicklyC.demands an deeply-participating mindD.demands more mind than eyes(3).What does the author mean by saying “ but it s one thing to

45、improve a person s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.“ in the second paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B.The reading exercises mentioned cant help to improve both the ability

46、 to see and to comprehend words.C.The reading exercises mentioned cant help to improve an efficient reading.D.The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve ones ability to see words.(4).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.The visual span is a word or a group of words we s

47、ee each time.B.Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C.The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.(5).The tune of the author in writing this article is_（分数：2.00）A.criticalB.neutralC.pessimisticD.op
