17、moval of the familiar. Suddenly the individual is faced with the necessity of working, commuting, studying, eating, shopping, relaxing, even sleeping, in an unfamiliar environment organized according to unknown rules. In mild form, culture shock shows itself in symptoms(症状)of fatigue, irritability(易
18、怒)and impatience. Being unable to interpret the situations in which they find themselves, people often believe they are being deliberately deceived or exploited by host-country nationals. They tend to perceive(感觉,觉察到)rudeness where none is intended. Their efficiency and flexibility is often impaired
19、 and both work and family suffer. Some people may respond by developing negative stereotypes(老一套)of the host culture, by refusing to learn the language and by mixing exclusively(排外地,专有地 )with people of their own cultural background.

Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn t a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last,
24、 with great anger I ran to my father in tears.He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not?“ True? I wanted to know how to Strike back. What did truth have to do with it? “Mary, didn t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl s
25、 opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. “I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn t change(like being skinny), but a good number I could
26、 and suddenly wanted to change.For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That s just for you,“he said.“ You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself once you hear it, But, you ve got to learn to listen
27、, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you 11 know it.

31、ng so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.Fi
32、rst, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the t
33、ree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that all open wound
34、 is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but its a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce th
35、at risk of death as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especi
36、ally for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.51 Pruning should be done to( ).(A)make the tree grow taller(B) improve the shape of
37、 the tree(C) get rid of the small branches(D)make the small branches thicker52 According to the passage, trees become unhealthy if the gardener( ).(A)allows too many branches to grow in the middle(B) does not protect them from wind(C) forces them to grow too quickly(D)damages some of the small side
38、branches53 Why is a special substance painted on the tree?(A)To makea wound smooth.(B) To prevent disease entering a wound.(C) To cover a rough surface.(D)To help a wound to dry.54 A good gardener prunes a tree( ).(A)at intervals throughout the year(B) as quickly as possible(C) occasionally when nec
39、essary(D)regular every winter55 What was the authors purpose when writing this passage?(A)To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.(B) To give a general description of pruning.(C) To explain how trees develop diseases.(D)To discuss different methods of pruning.55 It is easier to negotiate in
40、itial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you dont at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds
41、true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beths story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle(小隔间)offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cu
42、bicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be n
43、ice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but“ nice“ isnt a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, youll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip(筹码)when you are seeking a raise. You must be a
44、ble to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs(a new client or a sizable contract, for example)just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a b
45、argaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.56 According t
46、o the passage, before taking a job, a person should( ).(A)demonstrate his capability(B) give his boss a good impression(C) ask for as much money as he can(D)ask for the salary he hopes to get57 What can be inferred from Beths story?(A)Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.(B) If
47、 people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.(C) People should not be content with what they have got.(D)People should be careful when negotiating for a job.58 We can learn from the passage that( ).(A)unfairness exists in salary increases(B) most people are overworked and underpaid(C) one
48、 should avoid overstating ones performance(D)most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises59 To get a pay raise, a person should( ).(A)advertise himself on the job market(B) persuade his boss to sign a long-term contract(C) try to get inside information about the organization(D)do somethi
49、ng to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions60 To be successful in negotiations, one must( ).(A)meet his boss at the appropriate time(B) arrive at the negotiation table punctually(C) be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction(D)be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes二、Cloze60 The Internet can make the news more democratic, giving the public a chance to ask questions and seek【C1】_facts behind stories and candidates, according【C2 】_the head of the largest US on-line service. “ But the greatest【C3】_for
