9、0)Enough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep 1 depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep 2 . The young may need more sleep than the old, but 3 eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount but 4 may need more. Every
10、person knows his own need. It is then a matter of how to 5 it. Sleep should be always been enough to make one relaxed and ready for 6 work. Fresh air is 7 to sound sleep. It is not 8 reason for some people to insist that it is practical to sleep in the open air. 9 a person can keep himself warm, out
11、-of-door sleeping probably gives the body 10 complete relaxation. Ability to sleep is largely a habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep.

They show that he was learning Latin, was very in
15、terested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature. At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. Unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not
16、go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasted sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of
17、intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.（分数：15.00）(1).The main idea of the
18、passage is that Washington“s education（分数：3.00）A.was of great variety, covering many subjectsB.was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC.may seem poor by modern standard, but was good enough for his timeD.was rather limited for a president(2).What does the passage imply about
19、Adams, Jefferson and Madison?（分数：3.00）A.They were great persons.B.They were well educated.C.They liked to debate.D.They had lots of money.(3).The reason why Washington didn“t visit France was probably that he（分数：3.00）A.did not really care about goingB.did not know the French leadersC.could not commu
20、nicate in FrenchD.was too busy to travel(4).What can we know about Washington from the passage?（分数：3.00）A.His lack of formal education placed him in a disadvantage in later life.B.He should have gone to France even though he could not speak French.C.He was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson
21、 and Madison.D.He was an admired model for all Virginian gentlemen.(5).Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _.（分数：3.00）A.lacked practice in public speakingB.felt his education was inadequateC.didn“t like arguing and debating with peopleD.felt that the others were impractical五
22、、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The American idea of customer is to make each customer the center of the attention. People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. When a customer gets to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don“t usually
23、 find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In many stores, the signs that label each department make shopping a breeze(容易的事情). Customers usually don“t have to ask how mush items cost, since prices a
24、re clearly marked. When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphy“s Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express la
25、nes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you“ from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they don“t have to carry heavy bags out to the car. In America
26、, customer service continues long after the sale. Many products come with a money back guarantee. If there is a problem with the product, customers can take it back. The customer service representative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund.（分数：15.00）(1).From the p
27、assage we know in America the principle of customer service is _.（分数：3.00）A.to be fast and convenientB.to be the first in the worldC.to make each customer the center of the attentionD.to make each customer feel at home(2).When customers enter the store in the U.S. A, they will _.（分数：3.00）A.see store
28、 clerk sitting around watching TVB.receive warm greeting from clerksC.show their respect to clerksD.be given a pamphlet introducing the goods(3).Why do people in the U.S.A feel shopping a breeze?（分数：3.00）A.The price is very cheap.B.The products are good.C.The signs of departments are clear.D.The dep
29、artments are large.(4).According to Murphy“s Law. People feel _.（分数：3.00）A.the lane they get in is faster than other ladesB.the lane they get in is slower than other lanesC.it“s better to stand in a newly-opened laneD.it“s better to find the nearest and shortest checkout lane(5).If there is a proble
30、m with the product, the customer may _.（分数：3.00）A.have it repaired by othersB.send the product to othersC.ask the customer representative to say sorry to himD.ask for a refund from the store六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The wheel was one of man“s first inventions and yet it has also proved one of the m
31、ost useful. So wide and varied are the uses of the wheels, in machines and vehicles of all kinds that it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them. It is surprising to hear it said, therefore, that the wheel“s importance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the centu
32、ry by an invention so new as to be still unnamed. The invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion of air. The cushion is formed when air is blown into the bottom of the machine. This part is shaped like a saucer turned upside down. If air is blown into the saucer, the machine r
33、ises to a height that may vary from a few inches to a few feet. Industry is already using one form of the invention to deal with heavy loads. It can lift them with ease and since there are no wheels, and therefore no friction (摩擦), they can be put into motion with the touch of a finger. The new inve
34、ntion, however, is having a great effect on transport. Not only does it make expensive road systems unnecessary, but also it enables vehicles to travel well over land or water. This unique ability to reach most destinations has given rise to the prediction that wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at
35、 the end of this century as airplanes were at the beginning of last century.（分数：15.00）(1).The first paragraph tells us that _.（分数：3.00）A.big wheels have all kinds of usesB.the wheel“s usefulness hasn“t been provedC.a new invention may make wheels less importantD.the wheel was man“s earliest inventio
36、n(2).In the third paragraph, the phrase “with the touch of a finger“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.without frictionB.by handC.without difficultyD.with a hand(3).The new invention works on _.（分数：3.00）A.waterB.airC.landD.friction(4).The passage tells us that the new invention _.（分数：3.00）A.makes it possible to tr
37、avel without roadsB.will replace wheeled vehicles in a few daysC.will be used instead of airplanes in the near futureD.is more important for industry than for transport(5).Vehicles using the new invention will probably be _ at the end of this century.（分数：3.00）A.uniqueB.unnecessaryC.unusualD.plentifu

39、g growth and acceptance of telecommuting. Nearly two-thirds of the top 1000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program, and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves worker productivity (生产力). The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a week are quickly disappearing. Telecomm
40、uting involves a non-traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at home or elsewhere, some or all of the time. This is not a new novel, or untested way of working. But is it for you? Telecommuting is not a panacea (万能药). Whether you are a manager, or an HR (Human Resources) specialist, th
41、ere are decisions to make and actions to take before you begin a telecommuting arrangement.
