17、heir first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university c
18、lasses can“t be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world. (81) Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire
19、 in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is. While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn f
20、rom his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.（分数：12.50）(1).The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world because _.（分数：2.50）A.they were not well educat

If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the lugg
25、age is recovered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense. Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds (20kg); in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage
26、. Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed (补偿) by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA). Each suitcase, bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destination.
27、 (82) If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, label your luggage in care of(由代收) the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement , using the following model: Surname, first name Name of your country Address of the executing agency City, count
28、ry, postal code Telephone number of executing agency If you do not have this information, please label your luggage with the name and address of the institution you are to attend in Canada.

32、our luggageB.the handling of your luggageC.the insurance of your luggageD.the transportation of your luggage五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of human condition is our possibil
33、ity to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的)conditions. Social support makes up the exchanges of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People
34、with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more
35、likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational s
36、upport. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. (83) Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles.
37、 Finally, other people may give us instrumental supportmoney aid, material resources, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.（分数：12.50）(1).The author mainly talks about _.（分数：2.50）A.how to improve our interpersonal relationshipsB.people“s health condi
38、tionsC.how to deal with daily worries and problemsD.the importance of interpersonal relationships(2).Para. 2 is mainly about _.（分数：2.50）A.ways to reduce stressB.informational supportC.instrumental supportD.social companionship(3).The word “cushion“ in Para. 2 means _.（分数：2.50）A.increase the effect o
39、fB.reduce the effect ofC.a mat placed beneath the carpet of a sofaD.a rug placed on the floor(4).Lending money to a person in trouble belongs to _.（分数：2.50）A.the strengthening of self-respectB.social companionshipC.instrumental supportD.informational support(5).According to the passage, which of the
40、 following is true?（分数：2.50）A.Playing chess with others in spare time is of informational support.B.Social support enables us to succeed in dealing with all kinds of problems.C.With social support, people will become perfect without any faults.D.It“s possible that people who have fewer social ties a
41、re in poor health.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)(84) One of the best known proverbs must be “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.“ The promises of health, wealth and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to ma
42、ny people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States 200 billion dollars are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million p
43、eople and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well being. Much more interest has been shown in preventive (预防的)medicine in recent years. (85) This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical trea
44、tment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on thei
45、r sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over one million people are jogging. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them had run in the Hawaiian Mara
46、thon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “You look like a runner: how far do you run each day?“ A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On b
47、oth occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found wherever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people“s minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M.
48、 Hutchins who said, “Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes.“（分数：12.50）(1).The underlined word “retires“ in Para. 1 probably refers to _.（分数：2.50）A.people who go to bedB.people who live in quiet placesC.people who have a lot of free timeD.people who give up their wo
49、rk(2).The first paragraph indicates that medical workers _.（分数：2.50）A.can make a lot of moneyB.like running sports more than ordinary peopleC.are more concerned with their own healthD.are in great demand(3).In the United States, medical treatment is _.（分数：2.50）A.expensiveB.insufficientC.very effecti
