That“s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties. 2. That leads to another question. Why does

2、 anyone wear a tie? Ties serve no purpose. They do not cover any part of your body and keep you warm. They always seem to get covered in food stains. Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie. It lets everyone know what you just ate. 3. Ties have an odd history. Soldiers from Croatia, in Eastern Europe

3、, served as mercenaries (雇佣军) in various conflicts in the 17th century. They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck. Known as cravats (围巾), these became a popular fashion item in France and eventually evolved into the tie. 4. It“s an interesting story, but it doesn“t

4、 tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth or silk around their necks. The answer seems to be about identification (身份证明). In the 19 th -century Britain, ties were used by universities, military regiments (团), sports clubs, schools and gentleman“s clubs. Each tie was in a particular set of

5、 colors which identified the wearer as a member of that organization. Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain“s most powerful classes. That made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger classthe business class. 5. You cannot wear a tie if you wor

6、k with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living, rather than his hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriousl

7、y a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to wear ties across the world. 6. Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties.（分数：16.00）(1).Para

Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be: “to be happy.“ Ed Deiner, an America

11、n psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves. 2. Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyw

12、ay. “If you“re a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you“re more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune (免疫的) systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer.“ 3. So who are the world“s happiest people

13、? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursue

14、s individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction. 4. “In the West, the individualistic (个人主义的) culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves, what can I do that“s fun or interesting? They become unhappy when they can“t do any of these thi

15、ngs. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied. “ 5. People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultu

16、ral difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.“ 6. Income also made a big difference to people“s happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But

17、millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure. 7. But can we be too happy? “You get people who are actually happy, but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier. This desir

18、e to be always happy is a product of individualism, where the emphasis is on you individually, your emotions and feeling good. People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them.“（分数：16.00）(1).Paragraph 2 1 A. Happiest Culture B. An Unhappy Person C. Definition

23、she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder, took off after World War . 4. In 1953, the company introduced its first perfume (香水), Youth Dew, the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70. They include: Aramis, a line of p

24、roducts for men, launched in 1964; and Clinique, a range of odourless (无臭的) cosmetics, which followed in 1968. 5. By the time she retired in 1995, Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise, which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies. In 1998, she was

25、the only woman to feature in Time magazine“s selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century.

29、 strength was the manufacturing processnot invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891. Although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T s

30、howed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market. 2. The company“s assembly line alone threw America“s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford“s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized t

31、eams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line.

The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5-a-day minimum wage scheme

32、, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average wage in the auto industry then was $2.34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn“t involve an awf

33、ul lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan “an economic crime“, and critics everywhere laughed at Ford. 4. But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford“s dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all. The critics were too s

37、y was our three-year anniversary. We didn“t do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected. Andy is an unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contras

38、t, I am an outspoken (直言不讳) girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words. I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If one does not love you the way you like, i

39、t does not mean that he does not love you.“ This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me. One cold winter night, I got a high fever.

40、ocks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities (手续). When I was put on a drip (点滴), he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender (温柔的) voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I fell asleep.

41、 When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling (咕哝地说) to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment, I found love in his eyes. Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was very

42、 angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do.
