Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May. 1The popularity of Mother s Day around the world
21、 suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more enough to make her horrified. 2They buy, among other things, 132 million cards. Mother s Day is the No. 1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing po
22、wder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother s Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother s Day even got her arrestedfor disturbing the peace, interestingly. 3As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at th
23、e UK newspaper The Guardian, observed, traditionally “ motherhood is something that we do because we think it s right. “ But in the logic of commercialism , people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better. 4So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a
24、mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation. 5According to The Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago.

EBut whats more, commercialism changes young people s attitude towards motherhood. FAs a result, motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since

GThe American version of Mother s Day was thought up as early as 1905, by Anna Jarvis, as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_As is known to all, the organization and management of wages and salaries are very complex. Generally sp
28、eaking, the Accounts Department is 1for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay. If a firm wants to 2a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a 3of job evaluation and ways of measuring the pe

In job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in “points“ , which are
30、5together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their 6to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are

At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet“ or “Mum Bett“. For n
35、early 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley s wife tried to strike Mumbets sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theod
36、ore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued for her freedom. While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freed
37、omthe first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution. Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Sedgewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descend
38、ants. One of her great-grandchildren was W. E. B. Du Bbis, one of the founders of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights. Mumbet s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “ She was born a slave and r
39、emained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal. “（分数：10.00）(1).What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?（分数：2.00）A.She was born a slave.B.She was a slaveholder.C.She had a famous sister.D.She was born in a ri

43、edictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American high schools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half
44、 of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts , administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become “ computer-literate“. By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent
45、of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print-illiterate today. What is “computer literacy“? The term itself seems to imply some degree of “knowing“ about computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should includ
46、e a general knowledge, of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate. Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adul
47、ts are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work. Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever
