18、each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）_Robert Spring, a 19th * * century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a boo
19、kstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early U. S. autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection
20、, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example,
21、 they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals. In Spring s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of Gen
22、eral “Stonewall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-e
23、yed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.（分数：10.00）(1).What was Robert Springs profession?（分数：2.00）A.He made metal goods.B.He purchased old books.C.He collected early U.

27、here are great careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps know too much ab
28、out any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. And these “generalists“ are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where
29、 they have to plan for other people, to organize other people s work, to begin it and judge it. The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained“ man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalistand especially the
30、 administratordeals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated“ man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good special
31、ist in a particular field. Any organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly. Your first job may turn out to be the right job for youbut this is a pure accid
32、ent. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.
