Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think h

13、ow often you ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated 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

14、committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.I remember 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

15、 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, 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 doct

16、or made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then 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 heartfe

17、lt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger.

21、cts in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when 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 bo

22、ss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He 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 feedba

23、ck in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish 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 b

24、een clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he 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

25、 his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.36 The main idea of the first paragraph is that_.（A）bosses are hard to deal with（B） bosses have good character（C） bosses determine your career future（D）bosses must have similar personality37 In the second paragrap

28、f Your Boss（B） How to Get Along with Your Boss（C） How to Accept Your Boss s Criticism（D）How to Accomplish Your Boss s Objective40 Most 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

29、on television or in newspapers cant be bad for us.However, encouragement of critical 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 quest

30、ion and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own 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.

31、If your premises(前提)are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors 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

32、 not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don t tell you 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

33、 sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.41 In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people_.（A）easily accept certain things without a second thought（B） grow up through learning certain things in life（C） are f

34、orming their views during their growth（D）have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old42 Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to_.（A）criticize others（B） share professors beliefs（C） give their own ideas（D）change their own beliefs43 The word “shaky“(Line 1, Para.3)most pr

35、obably means “_“.（A）creative（B） firm（C） false（D）weak44 To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them_.（A）choice of their premises（B） the way to think independently（C） skills of drawing conclusions（D）different kinds of arguments45 According to the writer, the right wa

36、y to argue is to_.（A）argue mainly for the sake of arguing（B） prove it with a good conclusion（C） support your idea with sound reasoning（D）examine others ideas critically45 Now 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 w

37、ords usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. 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

38、 one person according to his purpose in reading and 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 resu

39、lt of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual 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 r

40、equired students to fix their eyes on some central 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

41、 to improve a person s ability to see words and 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, es

42、pecially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.46 The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except_.（A）one s familiarity with the text（B） one s purpose in reading（C） the l

43、ength of a group of words（D）lighting and tiredness47 The author may believe that reading_.（A）requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation（B） requires a reader to see words more quickly（C） demands an deeply-participating mind（D）demands more mind than eyes48 What does the author mean by sa

44、ying “ but it s one thing to 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?（A）The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.（B） The reading exercises mentioned cant help to i

45、mprove both the ability 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. 49 Which of the following is NOT true?（A）The visual span is a word or a g

46、roup of words we see 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. 50 The tune of the author in writing this article is_（A）critical（B） neutral
