However, I know from personal experience how difficult this really is. For more than a year, I was (41) hundreds and sometime
21、s thousands of dollars a day investing in the market. It seemed so easy, I dreamed of (42) my job at the end of the year, of buying a small apartment in Paris, of traveling around the world. But these dreams came to a sudden and dramatic end when a stock I (43) , Texas cellular pone wholesaler, fell
22、 by more than 75 percent (44) a one year period. On the worst day, it plunged by more than $15 a share. There was a rumor the company was exaggerating sales figures.

24、a stockbroker, as was my grandfather (47) him.(In fact, he founded one of Chicagos earliest brokerage firms.)

28、ed communication such as letters and memos. (41) the other persons response time capability is (42) fast, e-mail is more “conversational“ than traditional methods of communication. In a paper document, it is absolutely (43) to make everything completely clear and unambiguous because your audience ma
29、y not have a chance to ask for (44) . With e-mail， however, your recipient can ask questions immediately.

Your recipient may have difficulty (50) if you are bei
32、ng serious or joking, frustrated or euphoric. Thus, your e-mail compositions should be different from both your speech and paper compositions. （ A） Because （ B） Although （ C） Whereas （ D） When （ A） much （ B） too （ C） so （ D） enough （ A） urgent （ B） inevitable （ C） significant （ D） essential （ A） exp

(43) many women experience strain from t
36、rying to “do it all,“ they often enjoy the increased rewards that can result from playing multiple roles. As womens roles have changed, changing expectations about mens roles have become more (44) Many men are relinquishing their major responsibility (45) the family provider. Probably the most signi
37、ficant change in mens roles, however, is in the emotional (46) of family life. Men are increasingly expected to meet the emotional needs of their families, especially their wives. In fact, expectations about the emotional domain of marriage have become more significant for marriage in general. Resea
38、rch on (47) marriage has changed over recent decades points to the increasing importance of the emotional side of the relationships and the importance of sharing in the “emotion work“ (48) to nourish marriages and other family relationships. Men and women want to experience marriages that are interd

42、amental features of global mobility, what long-term results can one expect? In high-income regions, (41) North America, our picture suggests that the share of traffic (42) Supplied by buses and automobiles will decline as high-speed transport rises sharply. In developing countries, we (43) the stron
43、gest increase to be in the shares first for buses and later for automobiles. Globally, these (44) in bus and automobile transport are partially offsetting. In all regions, the share of low-speed rail transport will probably continue its strongly (45) decline. We expect that throughout the period 199
44、0-2050, the average North American will continue to devote most of his or her 1.1-hour travel-time (46) to automobile travel. The very large demand for air travel (or high-speed rail travel) that will be manifest in 2050 (47) to only 12 minutes per person a day; a little time goes a long way in the
45、air. In several developing regions, most travel (48) in 2050 will still be devoted to nonmotorized modes. Buses will persist whatever it is the primary form of motorized transportation in developing countries for decades. (49) important air travel becomes, buses, automobiles and even low-speed train
