15、12.00)“When one of the doctors criticizes(批评) me, I get defensive: I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I m not wrong. “ says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction(反 应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.1. Try to be
16、objective (客观). When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sols reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,“ Sol says,“ and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to ea
17、ch failure. “2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reason
18、s for doing it.3. Take positive(积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing“. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems, and taking them out on me because I was there,“ says Sheila. “His criticisms didnt really h
19、ave anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them. “ In Sheila s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the b
20、attle isn t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.(分数:12.00)(1).When Sol was criticized by his employer, he _.A. argued bitterly with his employer B. was angry and gave up his jobC. was sorry for what he did D. was sad and self-pitying(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(2).Accor
21、ding to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _.A. people may have a mistaken idea of what you didB. you should welcome other people s opinionsC. people may discuss it with you in depthD. you need time to understand yourself(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(3).When the writer says that “
22、the best answer may be nothing “, he means you may decide _.A. to take no notice of the criticism B. to argue with your bossC. you need to change your job D. you ve done nothing wrong(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(4).The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _.A. didnt like her appear
23、anceB. refused to change his opinionC. made an unreasonable criticismD. refused to talk to her about the criticism(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.六、Passage Two(总题数:1,分数:12.00)Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places whe
24、re their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, a
25、bove all, by keeping together.Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.Later they traveled, not from neces
26、sity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us wit
27、h comforts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, ticket, luggage, and a hundred of other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.(分数:12.00)(1).In primitive times men traveled _.A. for joy B. from

33、e said, “I understand your difficulties, Tom. I d like to help you. But Im not going to give you five pounds this time.

37、 no wood in the stem (树 干) rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing very close together, one inside the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air.Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided with water if the normal rainfal
38、l doesnt supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds (杂草) and grass.About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant.

39、hen it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows downward. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they, point downward, but as they grow they turn and point upward.Bananas are harvested while they are still green. Even when they are
40、 to be eaten where they are grown, they are not allowed to ripen on the plant.
