32、all. 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. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a
33、 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 tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or br
34、anches 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 is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry f
35、or 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 that risk of death as far as possible. It is essential t
36、o 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 especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without inte
37、rference 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.（分数：10.00）(1).Pruning should be done to( ).（分数：2.00）A.make the tree grow tallerB.improve the shape of the treeC.get rid of the small branc
38、hesD.make the small branches thicker(2).According to the passage, trees become unhealthy if the gardener( ).（分数：2.00）A.allows too many branches to grow in the middleB.does not protect them from windC.forces them to grow too quicklyD.damages some of the small side branches(3).Why is a special substan

40、r(5).What was the authors purpose when writing this passage?（分数：2.00）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.It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement be
41、cause 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 true with other resources,
42、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 cubicles, several males who
43、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 nice if we all received au
44、tomatic 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 able to demonstrate that
45、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 bargaining chip too. Fin
46、d 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.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passa

48、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.(3).We can learn from the passage that( ).（分数：2.00）A.unfairness exists in salary increasesB.most people are overworked and underpaidC.on
49、e should avoid overstating ones performanceD.most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises(4).To get a pay raise, a person should( ).（分数：2.00）A.advertise himself on the job marketB.persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC.try to get inside information about the organizationD.do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions(5).To be successful in negotiations, one must( ).（分数：2.00）A.meet his boss at the appropriate timeB.arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC.be good at influencing the outcome of the interactionD.be
