One afternoon last week, my three sons were playing peacefully in the backyard, throwing the ball

I jumped at the chance to talk to one of my friends on the phone, but before I got to the phone, I could tell that the boys had begun to quarrel with each other over something. I rushed out to make peace, but before I got there, Charles had begun to fight over this. Even Davi
10、d, the oldest boy, who wont usually fight with anybody over anything, was involved. First, I made them stop fighting, and then I examined Marks eye. I decided that it wasnt going to develop into a black eye, but I felt that they should suffer at least a little for what they had done. “Im going to sp
11、eak to your father about these when he comes home tonight,“ I said. “He and I will think of how to punish you. “ Things were pretty quiet after that for about half an hour, and then Charles broke a glass in the kitchensink, and at almost the same moment, Mark fell out of the apple tree.

Bob Crossley, a human-resour
16、ces expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “Its amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,“he says. 2 “Resumes(简历 )arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother to spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,“C
17、rossley concludes. “if they cannot take care of these details,why should we trust them with a job?“ 3 Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,“says
18、 Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco,“we must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont,we should drop them and move to something else. “ 4 Garfield compares this process to his work as a comput
19、er scientist at NASA. “The Apollo moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time. “says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. “Knowing where we want to go helps us judge th

It is not that they like
24、to complain. They realize that they are going to be rushed off their feet at Christmas. They know that their employers need happy customers to make their profits that pay their wages. But there is one thing about working in a shop over Christmas that is too bad to tolerate. That thing is music. Thes
25、e days, all shops and many offices have what is known as “Piped music“ or “muzak“ playing for all the hours that they are open. Muzak has an odd history. During the 1940s, music was played to cows as part of a scientific experiment. It was found that cows which listened to simple, happy music produc
26、ed more milk. Perhaps workers and customers who listened to simple, happy music would be more productive and spend more money. In fact, nobody knows what effect playing muzak in shops has on profits. It is simply something that everybody does. But we are learning more about the effect of constantly
27、repeated hearings of songs on the people who have to hear them all the time. Research shows that repeated hearings of complex pieces of music bring greater enjoyment before becoming tiresome. And that point come much sooner with simple songs. “Thats especially the case with tunes that are already fa
28、miliar. Once that tipping point3 is reached, repeated listening become unpleasant, says Professor John Sloboda of UKs Keele Universitys music psychology group. “And the less control you have over what you hear, the less you like it. Thats why police forces in the US often try and resolve hostage sit
29、uations by playing pop songs over and over again at high volume. Eventually, it becomes too much for the criminals to stand and they give up. The problem gets particularly bad at Christmas, when the muzak consists entirely of the same few festive tunes played over and over again. What makes it worse
30、 for the shop workers is that they already know these runes. They get bored very quickly. Then they get irritated. Then they get angry. Shop workers in Austria recently threatened to go on strike for the right to silence. “Shop workers cant escape the Christmas muzak. They feel as if they are terror
31、ized all day. Especially Jingle Bells. It arouses aggressive feelings,“ said Gottfried Rieser, of the Austrian shop workers union. It is not just shop workers who complain. A survey this year by UK recruitment website Retailchoice. com found that Christmas is not only the most testing time for shop
32、workers, but that almost half had complaints from customers about muzak. And the British Royal National Institute for the Deaf estimates that some stores play Jingle Bells 300 times each year. “Thats acoustic torture, says Nigel Rodgers of Pipedown. A group against muzak. “Its not loud but the repet
33、itive nature causes psychological stress. “ The group wants the government to legislate against unwanted music in stores, hospitals, airports, swimming pools and other public places, claiming it raises the blood pressure and depresses the immune system. Perhaps groups like Pipedown dont really have
34、much to complain about. After all, surely the real point is that people have money to spend. Why complain about a bit of music? 31 The shop workers in the Western world are glad when Christmas is over because they dont have to （ A） rush their feet off all day. （ B） listen to the music playing all th
35、e time in the shop. （ C） work overtime to make more profits for the boss. （ D） try to please the customers. 32 It has been proved that listening to simple, happy has a good effect on （ A） cows. （ B） workers. （ C） customers. （ D） bosses. 33 Which of the following statements is true, according to the

37、plex pieces of music. （ D） Repeated hearings of simple songs become tiresome sooner than those of complex pieces of music. 34 In hostage situations the US police forces repeatedly play pop songs at high volume in order to （ A） put pressure on the criminals. （ B） distract the attention of the crimina
38、ls. （ C） keep the criminals awake. （ D） please the criminals. 35 According to the article, which of the following most appropriately indicates the nature of the effect repeated hearing of the same tune produces on the hearer? （ A） Social. （ B） Physical. （ C） Psychological. （ D） Both physical and psy
39、chological. 35 On Being a Matchmaker The first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. Im very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking(媒人 ) ideas come while Im in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who migh
40、t be good with whom. Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave u
41、p my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970. Over the last few years weve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain.

42、 clients (委托人 ) find someone that they get on very well with. Were great triers. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle. Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet hi
43、m a second time. It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, “But a woman cant start to love you if your shirt smells. “ The job is most satisfy ing when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love. 36 What does
